[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] triumvirant:
Me experience

Where/when has ATT explicitly/implicitly approved the use of the Kraken case you are claiming to have had the phone in when the crack was observed? Could the additional heat buildup of being enclosed in that case have contributed to the crack? Could the liability for the damage somehow be transferred to the case manufacturer?

Aside from that, here is my personal experience with ATT:

I had purchased a Nokia Lumia 920 for full price from ATT back near last Thanksgiving. After 26 days, the LCD display developed a line of stuck pixels that no amount of resetting/etc would get rid of. I went to the store I purchased it from and explained the situation. They explained to me the 14 day return policy and that I would have to have it repaired/exchanged under warranty. Needless to say, I was NOT ok with getting a refurbished unit on a device I had paid over 500.00 for less than 30 days ago.

I called customer care and explained the situation. They said there was nothing they could do other than a warranty exchange. I explained that this was unacceptable and that if they couldn't do anything, I would like to speak with someone who could.

I was transferred to the "manager" who told me the same thing. I repeated that I was unwilling to accept that proposition, and that I needed to talk to the person who could help me.

I was transferred again, and was again told that warranty exchange was the only way. After 10 minutes of calmly (and this is key) explaining that I was NOT ok with their "customer service" they offered an alternative. They did an "early upgrade" and provided me with a new phone, waiving the upgrade and activation fee. The caveat here is that it reset my upgrade timer on that line, but I did get to keep the defective phone (which I sent off to Nokia for warranty repair).

The most important thing to remember with ATT customer support is that as long as you don't get hostile, they can not end the call without your consent. Keep pressing and hold your ground, and as long as you don't agree or get frustrated (outwardly, at least), they will eventually work with you to find a way to help.

Just my experience, good luck with whatever avenue you persue!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Russ77:
triumvirant has some good suggestions as well.

also, did you purchase the phone on a credit card? does that card give you some sort of purchase protection? you may want to give them a call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chaosclarity:
Let's put this in to comparative perspective.

If you buy a vehicle and then 3 weeks later you notice a crack in the windshield, do you really think the dealer is going to pay for it? They won't give you a new vehicle, or even fix it. There's no proof that you can provide that it is a defect and came this way from the factory.

Same for your device - you cannot prove this is a defect without thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to examine the structural integrity of your device and prove it to the court/jurors. Without proof to show anything, you're SOL.

Just get it fixed, you'll have less gray hairs, and may live longer from less stress.

I think manufacturers should start placing pressure sensors within the devices to see whether people are telling the truth or not - we have no reason to not believe you OP, but then again, we've all been told as younglings "Never trust anyone."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CZ Eddie:
Cracks UNDER the screen were a known issue, weren't they? I think I remember hearing about this a few months ago. And Samsung was addressing it or something.

I'd google the issue and see if anything ever came of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] graydiggy:
Not necessarily a known issue caused by a manufacturer defect. Yes, it does happen, but it is too rare and the possible cause of being the end users fault is too high for them to logically grant warranty replacement/repair. If they were to do so, they would have to replace/repair all devices with a cracked screen taking a huge loss in revenue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chaosclarity:
AT&T/Samsung lawyers would eat this guy alive - they are among the richest companies in the world and money is no object to them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] graydiggy:
They could just laugh at him and tell him to piss off. If he pursues legal measures, they would more than likely box his rear up and FedEx it to him calling it a warranty replacement. They both are top dogs in the mobile industry.

To everyone saying to just bite the bullet and just get a warrenty repair, you are what is wrong with all these companies. This is what they expect everyone to do. Instead you should stand up for the trash these companies put out. AT&T has been know for doing this to everyone. Their customer service sucks all the way around. We know this. We just can't keep "putting up with" their crap because they get away with it.

To the other people saying about the car windshield being cracked, if it wasn't the windshield and the engine was cracked and they told you you need to buy a whole new engine out of pocket you'd be infuriated.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] girtsn:

i have a problem installing the file i downloaded.

i put the cab on the device and ran it from device.

i get: <the file "\windows\iacontacts.dll" is in use or is in rom...> error....

any advice on what i am doing wrong?

i run wisbar but tried it without wisbar and got same.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dmmh:
welcome people :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] H4rry:
@ sainthalo:

unfortunately I'm a total noob at this. So dunno the answer. But I presume you've tried soft reset and then installing the cab imediately. The cab I used was "Default_SmartDialing_Magician_RC13.CAB". This cab worked fine for me, no probs.

Other than that you'll have to wait for one of the experts round here to help you out. Sorry.

Alright so this thread is to be used to discuss everything related to getting 2nd init to work in our phone, no matter how irrelevant it is as we do have a way to unlock the bootloader, some of us are having issues getting it to work.

Essentially the "adb reboot oem-unlock" not working on any OS or ADB version.

Theory is that a blown e-fuse implemented on TI OMAP devices are the culprit for this alleged "Perma-Locked"

SO, this could be seen as a work around for installing a custom rom on our device without unlocking the bootloader, or until LG spills the beans without Tmobile throwing a fit.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways i found this for the Motorola Milestone 2 (TI omap device AFAIK)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=998425

EDIT: SO apparently Artas' recovery already installs 2nd init??

if so then all we need is a script to get the roms working?

We should work with cm10 by Anton without his kernel obviously. I'm out of town this weekend or I would whip up a quick WIP
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] MoonMaster345:
Looking inside ~/bootstrap:

2nd-init

getkey

recovery.tar

stop

taskset

unsecureboot

Now inside recovery.tar, is a folder called . and inside it is what the phone's filesystem looks like, do we need to fill in the correct folders for it to work?

im only used to building roms and zipping them so i have no idea how to work with 2nd init.

If you have the time then sure whip it up. anything is great in xda
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] omgbossis21:
I believe we don't touch the recovery and will use the app to reboot into it. otherwise the reboot to recovery option must be set to use that recovery.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] MoonMaster345:

Not certain compare it with a rom. Also I'm on phone it won't let me copy paste check the code guru thread where I posted what files are checked by wallpaper. Bin. Either copy paste that here or gather the files and upload then to dropbox. They will be needed to stop the kernel from throwing a security error.

Hi,

​

S-Calls Backup is a backupper/ restorer for SMS messages and call log.

The app has a simple and easy to use user interface. The feature encryption of backup files is built on top of AES ― an advanced encryption which has been being used by the U.S. government since 2001. We hope it could make you more comfortable in protecting your private data.

Just run it and choose data type to backup (SMS messages or call log). That's it :)

Get it on Google Play:

[Android Apps and Games] the last leaf:
Yes it can. To do that please follow these steps:

Tap the app icon (at the top left) to open Settings pane.

Turn on auto-backup. A dialog will show up.

Tap date / time to set the start date / time.

Choose interval (1/3/5 days or 1/2/3/4 weeks).

Turn on what you want to backup (SMS messages or call log…) You can even choose to backup arbitrary conversations with any of your contacts.

Tap OK to finish.

If you setup a password, the scheduled tasks will use that password to protect the backup files.

To share backup files to other apps (such as Google Drive, Dropbox or Bluetooth…), you can tap the Share symbol and choose backup file(s) to share.

Feel free to ask more questions, I'm here to help :)

[General Questions and Answers] Dan Law 001:
Hello, on my Onda v971 tablet running Android 4.2.2, the battery drain is quite obvious (-120%/hour) if you leave the screen and use it moderately (browsing web, youtube, etc.) However, if you leave it idle, it is quite battery friendly (battery usage of about -1.1%/hour). I searched a bit on the web and I hear people saying that it was the ROM that caused the problem. In fact, many people experienced similar issue after upgraded to 4.2.2 no matter what devices they're using. Therefore, I took a snapshot of the battery usage screen and I found that the Screen occupies a great portion in the overall battery consumption. However, on my Note running 4.1.2, I saw that the screen occupies a much less portion in the battery usage. So, here are question that arised;

- Is the battery drain caused by the Android 4.2.2 version of the ROM?

- Is the battery drain caused by the screen?

- The Screen occupies a greater portion in the Battery usage in the case of the tablet than in the case of the Note 2 because a tablet has a bigger screen than the phone or because of it is running Android 4.2.2?

Thanks.
