[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
I really don't wanna have to root this again. I'm afraid I'll lose warranty. I'm even more afraid that I'll need it!

Why would anybody photoshop this kind of thing? lol The button is TERRIBLE with the case on and I fell like the bone is gonna pop out of my finger every time I press it. I'm thinking clear nail polish. I can prolly pick some up really quick, just to see if it does anything. HTC's repair service sucks. I would expect this kind of service in India, where the only certification people have is their presence in the store.

I'm really pi$$ed that they scratched my back though. Like, what were they doing? Playing air hockey with it? I can sort of understand the power button happening somewhere at the parts factory, but the scratches are a result of PURE carelessness. I may persuade HTC to give me a replacement phone! (not)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
I would insist on a new one. I stood here slack jawed in disbelief looking at your power button.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Well at least my new main board has a full 32 gigs.

The power button is pretty bad. But I can get used to it. If after a couple days I'm not okay with it, then I'll try the nail polish. If that doesn't work, it's off to UsPS.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] felacio:
I said it "looked" 'shopped, not that you did. I don't think you did at all but it sort of does look it a little. Just the first one though.

Dude, send it back.. I would. Especially if you don't want to root. Just get it over with.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Yeah, I think I'll make that a to-do for this weekend, because if I wait, they might blame it on me! I've already called, so there is some record, but w/e. I just hope to have an HTC One that looks like and functions like the one I had before the brick.

My sore fingers approve of this post. (I've been trying to get used to the button, to no avail.)

And for some reason, the "self-service" activation app keeps popping up. Even though I activated the phone a few hours ago. Can anybody hepl me? Should I just disable the app?

EDIT: while hitting the button does require a lot of force, I could easily see some redneck who eats people like me for breakfast picking up this phone and saying it's perfectly fine and telling me I have to pay to get it back.

If I am precise enough, and hit the back left corner, the phone isn't as hard to turn on. Maybe like 2.5x harder. On the other hand, the front right corner (the second picture) is absolutely unresponsive.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Smac7:
Are you going through HTC or sprint? My advice is always go through sprint. They're less knowledgable and are easier to maneuver. Go to a sprint store and them the button is broken. They'll give you a refurb. This will be covered under warranty, do not give them a dime. I've gotten 1 evo replaced and 3 palm pres replaced all though sprint. Each one appeared to be brand new when i got them, though they were refurbs. My evo 4g had a similar problems to yours. You may need to go to a sprint corporate store. Avoid sprint stores that are like "Sprint Store by American Wireless".
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flex360:
has there been any new reports of bricks?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dandan2980:
I'm on Slim Bean right now and it is running smooth I even have it under clocked to 1350 I think it's safe to say the issue has been squashed. I have always preferred AOSP over sense.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] SantinoInc:
Dan,

I know you're a big AOSP guy...have the majority of the AOSP roms started using a new kernel or something? I'm guesing YES since there have been no new reports of brickage.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dandan2980:
Reading thru all the threads there have been talks of changes to the kernel and ever since the GE came out AOSP seems so much smother Slim had a huge change log for the M7 after the release of the GE One
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Embluss:
GE code got carried over? Nice. It seemed that GE ROMs aren't having this issue on the international version, so I think I can feel safe using it now.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HTC_M7:
Yea i think its fixed. Something there talks about fixing "chip crashes" due to concurrencies
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
So Sprint stores fix through warranty?

I guess it is possible, because my local Sprint store is a CA wireless. They told me they only deal with people who have insurance.

So what do I tell them, that my power button got bashed in? Should I tell them that HTC did it? What is my story? I need it spelled out.

I REALLY don't want to send this phone because I am 90% sure they will say there is no problem. If they considered these power buttons a problem, wouldn't they have fixed it before they sent it to me?

If they do think there is a problem, then they will probably ruin the phone even more.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
Yea some of them are knowledgeable and just don't care. I've discussed with them what roms we were running. They could see very well my phone's were unlocked. So we're theirs. They replaced or repaired under warranty which goes only so far and they've done it free under tep without going through assurion also. You might be surprised how much they're supposed to do before going to insurance and charging you a deductible. Really they only are supposed to do that for water damage, mobo replacement, and screen breaks larger than a dime. Otherwise it's repair or replace.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
So should I tell them it was HTCs fault? Or should I say it just kept getting lower and lower over time?

I REALLY would like to get a refurb, because I can check to see if it has any problems. I will not and cannot settle for any less than what I had.

Also, I heard there was a 35 dollar service charge or something because it's more convenient than going to the manufacturer. True?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
Not that I'm aware of. There is a restocking fee if you purchase it and want to return it for a different phone. Not sure about the first part. They may or may not tell you to deal with htc since you already did but since they do deal with them concerning warranty I personally would probably try explaining exactly what happened and that you're very displeased with htc and you'd like them to handle it so that they have a satisfied customer. I think they'd quickly just order a brand new one. I took my evo to Sprint repair when I screwed it up and they just had one shipped and I picked it up brand new next day pretty much no questions asked. And it was obviously unlocked and running cm lol

Wait no. I ran ruu first to try to fix it. I did tell him though that I had unlocked it he was chi

Grr he was cool
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Honesty is the best policy, I guess.

So Sprint DOES deal with HTC right, for warranty? I think I'll just tell them I don't want to deal with HTC anymore, that Sprint should handle because I can't keep sending my phone back. My phone has the power button issue, tries to activate itself and PRL update on every boot and I'm not even able to get 4G anymore! Some SIM error or something.

OK, so new plan is to go Sprint store that isn't like CA wireless and ask them to exchange it for a refurbished One.

Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] adamlee011:
Keep in mind I don't work for Sprint but I have dealt with them enough that I think most of what I said is accurate if not all. I would ask for a new one. The phone is very new. And I would settle for a refurb. Who cares as long as it works. Always aim higher than your goal. And I wish you all the luck in the world. You've been through enough that you deserve to finally be satisfied I think. Although I suppose you did void your warranty but since they did honor it already it's on them now. maybe stress how much grief you've endured a little if you get resistance but be cordial and appreciative. That usually works for me. Catch more flies with honey and all.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] skuddy:
Having worked for U.S. Cellular for years I can tell you that every cell phone provider works directly with manufacturers for warranty stuff. This way they don't have to eat a ton of money in free replacement devices for people or constantly buying refurbs from HTC to warranty themselves. They also want complete control over their customers so they make you go through them for a warranty issue rather than go through the manufacturer. I would be totally honest. "Phone stopped working. Sent it in, it came back working but they really messed up my power button and it's causing me sore fingers. Can you please take care of this for me." Simple as that. What's the worst that can happen? They say no? I always told my customers it doesn't hurt to ask.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Smac7:
You don't have to tell them anything. I've bought used phones before and taken them to a sprint corporate store and got full replacements. Sprint will deal with the HTC warranty. I promise you. Like i said, as long as it is a corporate location.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
What exactly is a corporate store? Is it just one that doesn't say it's by another company (it just says Sprint or Sprint store) or does it explicitly have to say corporate store?
[Android General] qu1nn:
In these days of government intrusion, the loss of privacy, and the ability of these entities to shut down, intercept, disrupt, modify, and to otherwise stop free speech or to suppress the truth was wondering if it were possible for some guru to come up with an application that would do the following:

could be transferred easily in a crowd, which would form a private add hoc network that would allow for encrypted communications between users of the application. This application could share various types of media and could work over wifi, bluetooth, vpn, or cell networks. In areas where communications are shut down people could be able to create an ad hoc network which could eventually extend beyond the shutdown area an hop out to the internet to share the hive data or to pass on valuable news. This application could save video, audio, various sensor data (barometric, vibrational), and coordinate data and instantly share this data across the hive network in an encrypted anonymous manner so if an entity were to confiscate someone's property that information with still exist in the hive.

figured I'd shoot out the idea.

regards
[Android General] freezer2000:
[MENTION=240689]qu1nn[/MENTION] while the idea sounds great during the times of emergency, however this hive can also be misused by the unlawful elements of the society. Is there a way the communication can be monitored while the flow continues. For eg. the content shared can be monitored while the hive cannot be itself blocked by the authorities?

Just my thoughts...

So I have de-branded my DoCoMo 32GB LTE with the SGB321 16GB LTE and all works great!

I'm just looking for some help with resizing the partition as obviously the firmware came from 16GB version.

I have downloaded the app called DiskInfo and that finds the full 32GB which is good, but im just not sure how to go about resizing it.

I cant find a ftf that's 32GB LTE :s

Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated.

Sony devices usually use GPT partition tables. You should be able to increase the size of the userdata partition to fill the unused space.

Beware of what you're doing - I'd check it with someone who has done it before doing this (I did it once on am older device)

If in doubt, be careful and wait until checking with someone who knows more about the partitions, and what you'll get away with... I believe it's safe, but not sure for the tablet Z

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
you really need to look at the specific device. It has been done on devices in the past to sigcheck the MBR or GPT resulting in brick, just because it can be done on one device, does not mean it can be done on another.

For Sony the partition table was modifiable and unsigned at least on 2012 devices, I cannot be certain on 2013 (Z series devices) because I personally have gone a different direction for what I was modifying the partition table for
