Is this standard etiquette after fixing somebody's phone?

I got it repaired at a local privately owned shop in Winston Salem, NC. Appetite 4 Repairs.

He was fast, efficient... but it still kind of gets to me.

A little time has passed, i've since forgotten about it, but after the Note 3 was unveiled yesterday. if got me thinking about how it could affect the resale of the one I have now.

Anyway, is this something they're required to do? or was this just his way of muscling me into being a lifer at his company... making sure I couldn't rush out and get insurance after the first drop?

Thanks

Proper use of a heat gun is always put into effect at my store. Without a heat gun the esn sticker will get ripped most of the time.

Im sure they were in a hurry or were just careless and tried to do it without a heat gun [I can peel off the sticker most of the time without a heat gun but its just a headache when that ONE time it will rip on your.]

I recently set up OpenVPN on my router and connected with my phone using OpenVPN for Android. I could access my router settings and the uTorrent WebUI on my desktop, but I couldn't access my SMB shares. I have no issue with SMB when connected to my router via wifi, but I can't seem to get it to work over the VPN. The computer I'm trying to access shares from is running Windows 7, if that helps. Also, if there's an easier way to access shares remotely than what I'm trying please let me know.
[General Questions and Answers] mitklaus:
I have only two ideas, how to start error search:

1. Try to connect to the VPN -Samba-shares using a Desktop PC

2. Do your Android-Device offer a native VPN-support (So does mine!) Maybe the App you're using to connect to the samba-share does not use the VPN-Tunnel, because OpenVPN does not provide it to other apps? I once had a similar issue, when i tried to connect to my home VPN-Network, while i was in another WLAN, where the IP-Adresses where the same as in my home-Network (192.168.1.1 was the router, 192.168.1.99 was the NAS) and i was routed to the NAS in the local network although the VPN-connection was enabled! I changed the IP of my NAS at home and the problem was gone. Don't know if this helps... ;)

Orange M500 Advice

I have just bought an Orange M500 and have done nothing with it yet... i'm sure i am on the Standard 1.06 release of the rom, but would like to upgrade to 1.12 - what do i need to do this? there seem to be so many guides available, i just need to find one which will work and will let me keep the orange settings.

I also want to free up some storage space (i have a 1gb card so can happily move programs onto this) but with all the orange software, or ext rom, there is only 5mb of ram left for running programs.

Can anyone offer any advice or guidance??

Thanks

Hey there, what cab is it that you use for the camera to make it go landscape.

I have a MDA III and it does not do that for me, i have noticed that on my dad's MDA Compact he can do it, i'm not sure that it will work for the MDAIII but i might as well try because i think it looks good.

Can you attach this CAB as an attachment to this thread?

Very much appriciate it.

I found the if you do the hardreset and then softreset trick you can then install only the needed items, to geet you orange mms and grps setting just make sure you run CAB-Customization-Magician-OrangeUK-13Jan05.sa.CAB

I found some help on the differnt files in the orange roms here I have used thids list to only install the bits a really need

I will post soon about the best combination of software I have used.

Hello xda! My nexus 4 arrived today directly from google and i knew from the beggining that it was going to need a Micro-sim card... A friend of mine offered to cut my simple mobile normal sim card, and he did it, the problem is that the phone does not recognize my simcard. I have restarted several times and nothing happens it just says NO SIM CARD--EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY and i also cannot save any apn neither.

1. Is my simcard damaged?

2. If i ask for a new one at my simplemobile supplier will they replace it keeping my old number? (What cost)

NOTE: I did not pay my last month bill from simple mobile (My GT-i9100 Hard Bricked) so i suppose it has no service, until i pay it tomorrow.

This is normal,phone doesn't recognize the sim because the sim might be old or not properly cut.

Inverted is basically taking something and flipping it to be the opposite. When talking about an Andy ROM you will be talking about color schemes. For example, insteak of a black dialer or a white GMail app, if those apps are inverted in the ROM then you will have a white dialer and black GMail app.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vaizen:
Hi guys, Sorry if a thread like this exists, if so, please let an admin erase this one.

But as for the current year 2013, I'm planning on changing my Ipad 2, for another tablet, (obviously android based). I've been reading, seeing some specs, and people claim the Prime is a little bit better than the TF300, and the infinity is a little bit out of my budget. I know the TF701 is comming but as for the things I've seen it's not a big upgrade from the infinity and offcourse it will come at a hiiiiiighheeeeer price.

So Would you recommend the Prime? The reasons I'm considering the Prime is because I want a 10.1 tablet with keyboard, lately my studies demand a lot of note taking and I'm faster typing on a keyboard than writing on paper, Besides what I love of my ipad is the battery life, and according to reviews and specs the Prime have a better performance in that matter. The only downsides I see on the prime is the Tegra 3 but still it's a quad-core processor. The other downside is the 1GB of RAM but I'd have to cope with that.

Appart of your opinions, I would like to know:

1. Can i set up the dock keyboard language? 'cause my mother language is spanish

2. How are things going with JB? as i read there were problems regarding gamming performance

3. What about development, is it active or is this a phantom forum?

4. Are ROMs Stable and do some improve battery performance?

5. Does the dock Keyboard work on all ROMs? (what about CM, AOSP based ROMs)

6. Are there still wifi problems? like short coverage. So I heard because of the metal casing

7. What do you think about your Primes life-expectancy will it survive for around three more years?

I think that's all for now, so guys hope you can help me..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Milkyway2223:
Hi,

The Prime has poor Wifi performance and almost no GPS. AFAIK the other two do not have does problems.

1: Yes, you can

2: Androwook (2.2) works great for me!

3: Development is active, but not as much as for some other devices EDIT: Maybe not that active, didn´t look around for a while

4: I only know Androwook, which, in Version 2.2 is stable. Battery life is good (Two days for me in University!)

5: I dont know.

6: yes.

7: With a custom ROM, it should. It will be outclassed by newer tablets, of course.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Version 2.31 should be better in just about every factor over 2.2. Might be worth you upgrading mate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Milkyway2223:
I did, but I am having major problems:

- Dock sometimes doesn´t work right

- Won´t wake up from sleep

- Freezes, with it not booting anymore afterwards. (Stays on loading screen)

I couldn´t post in the dev section, due to under 10 posts ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Is this with 2.3 or 2.31 mate?

I have never encountered any dock problems. Did you dirty flash ?

The won't wake up from sleep was a bug in 2.3 with Hunds kernel and should have been fixed in 2.31. If you are still getting it with 2.31 try the stock kernel and see if it still happens.

The freezes again could be related to Hunds kernel and you not having enough power when overclocked. Was you in performance mode when this happened? Also did you try the voltage increase addon that was included in the Kernel Selection page of 2.31 Installer?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Milkyway2223:
2.31, never tried 2.3

I am using Data2SD, forgot to mention.

The first install was clean, it lastet a few hours till it froze, but I did a Backup after setting it up.

I did not wipe bevor restoring the backup, doe TWRP seemed to format bevor restoring.

The Dock problems hapend after the first freeze, so that could be a problem from the restore.

I did a stability test without voltage fix, no crash there. I did not test the fix long enough yet to know if it worked - so far its okay.

Freezes happend on the homescreens. And once it did not boot while crashing asleep, might be the same problem.

All in balanced mode, except the stability test.

I did not try stock kernel yet. Will try that if it hapens again

No, no it isn't, i've had problem after problem after problem, i'd have been better off putting it in the bin or eating my dinner off it.

I have a friend who tried flashing a rom on this HTC One with S-ON. The phone is now relocked and "tampered" but I have been trying to return it to stock so it will actually boot. It just hangs on the HTC screen for now. The version is 1.26.502.12 Hboot 1.44 but the RUU for ATT doesn't work at all; gives me the error 132 "signature error". I know this is the correct RUU, as when it says it will update to xxx version, it's the same exact version as what's on there (1.26.502.12).

Have been searching long and far for an answer, and have tried locating a ruu in the form of a .zip file, but have returned with no such luck.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
Its not the correct ruu for the phones cid, which will be CWS__001 or something similar. What's wrong with the phone that you need to ruu? You can either;

Find the correct RUU.

S-off the phone, change the cid, and flash any ruu of your choosing.

Re-unlock, re-flash custom recovery, and re-flash the rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
It won't boot because it's relocked with a custom recovery. Unlock again, flash the stock recovery from the RUU, and relock, and you'll be stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xartic12:
I have it unlocked and it had TWRP. I pulled the .zip from the RUU from the /local/temp/f3823848f (you get it), and tried running the fastboot commands:

fasboot erase cache

fastboot rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip rom.zip

This works up until the flashing of the zip, which results in "ERROR: could not clear input pipe; result -536870163< waiting for device >".

How would I go about getting the stock recovery from the RUU?

edit: I originally had it unlocked but relocked it so I could run the .exe for the RUU.

Well the phone tried to install a custom rom (trick droid) without S-OFF, so now it completely won't boot past the HTC screen. I have problems with mounting the cache, but finally worked that kink out. I can't s-off the phone without it booting can I?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
You do not need s-off to flash a rom on the one. He probably flashed a bad zip. Reflash TWRP, wipe everything. Adb push the ROM.zip and flash it.

If you can't mount cache partition then the recovery will not work correctly.

I get the same problem few days ago when erasing all partitions.

Try to format cache partition from recovery. I've done it many times until it accept it.

It seems I format it in the wrong format.

If you have "cache mount error" when in recovery, then I don't think flashing a ROM will work (and when it works, the ROM will not boot anyway).

Get rid of this problem first.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xartic12:
Actually I did read and know how to flash roms, but the problem isn't that I didn't read, that my friend jumped the gun on flashing without knowing HTC and their s-on situation . The problem is that security still remains on and the phone won't accept the RUU to return it to stock.. I understand the phone is unlocked now but when I attempt the RUU I relock it with no positive results. I resorted to the stock recovery to see if that would help with the RUU, but it doesn't.
