[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ZrRock:
Ok, to play devil's advocate here.

1. Don't do it at an indirect. Best buy may be ok because they're large, and probably wouldn't notice/care enough to come after you with a chargeback. At my indirect you sign a separate contract saying if you cancel within 6 months, we will bill you full retail on the phone or you must return it to us.

2. If you cancel within the first 14 days, YES, corporate can bill your account full retail on the phone. Most carriers have a "gaming" department that handles cases like these.

(Source: I used to work in a gaming dept. Charged a guy full retail on 10 blackberry bolds :D)

3. You'll have the cost at the POS, a $35 activation fee, half a month of service, and the ETF. Just be aware of all of these.

4. When you call in to cancel DO NOT say it was lost/stolen. Don't want your ESN getting flagged :D

yes, after you flash ROM to to selected Rom slot, then select the kernel patch zip and flash that after ROM is installed.

I flashed the elclipse rom with no issue and did the kernel patch right after but I can't verify wifi as I am work. My wifi analyzer program sees our WAPs so thats a good thing.

I also did the GPE Rom and kernel patch and wifi does work. My only hiccup was I lost of radio/mobile data on the stock rom as well as GPE rom and took me a bit to see the network selection was not on CDMA/LTE/EVDO. Once I selected that, everything worked

Please help!

I've been messing around with a Kindle Fire 2, and I have TWRP 2.3.3.0 installed. I was running Cyanogenmod until I accidentally wiped /system. When I try to reboot, it says in big capital letters that there is no OS installed. I've never gotten out of TWRP because I was afraid I won't be able to come back into it.

I tried to adb sideload and push and all of those great stuff, but it said, "failed to write data protocol fault". I'm guessing the partitions are all messed up. I checked the forums and most were outdated, so I'm posting a new question.

I was thinking about the "Partition SD Card" feature on TWRP, but will it work? What can happen and how do I set it up?

Thanks in advance!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MCRHAZ:
Hello's to you fellow's lol,

I have a question regarding this phone. I am most likely going to purchase the c6833 model if not then I may have to buy the c6802 one, however, this is all contingent on many factors and answers to the following questions:

1) The screen issue, I've heard, saw and read about the screen issues which plague some of these devices. To elaborate, the screen dies on some people, refuses to turn back on or the phone itself dies randomly. Now is this an issue exclusive to the c6802 model or has this been an issue on the c6833 model as well. Furthermore, is this an issue of hardware or software, or the general consensuses still has no idea.

2) How is the battery life on this phone, I currently have the Note 2 and the battery life on this is absolutely phenomenal, now I refuse to accept that I am being spoiled and am certain that this should be the standard rather. Thus how does the battery life of the ZU compare with that of the Note 2's

Well that's about it, I live in Canada and the phone isn't out yet here in stores so I have to order it online for about $800-900, which is fine I guess, but it would absolutely crush me if I was to spend that much and then 2 weeks down the line have the screen and phone go full retard on me, and then have to deal with the pain of shipping it back to Sony labs etc.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RaindancerAU:
I heard the phone is out in Canada in about 2 weeks? I think they are timing the launch to be similiar to the Australian launch which is October 10.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MCRHAZ:
Oh okay thanks for that info, I didn't know it was Oct 10th I thought it would be near the end of Oct, so yeah I guess I'll just hold out for when it's released through retail, better safe and late than early and sorry.

I guess this thread can be deleted then...lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iron59:
the phone is not great but super super great! most wonderful I ever got. the screen SOD problem I think is easy to work around just don't UNCHECK the Optimized backlight then everything goes fine :cyclops:

the only shortage of the phone is the battery life really a bit short, still light to moderate use is ok. :good::good::good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Personally I'm coming from note 1 and think the battery life with stamina mode is awesome. I hear the battery life is a little under the note 2 so you should be fine with it. It's an epic phone I would say, don't hesitate. I'd say it's worth getting the 6833 as I think 4g support will be more mainstream within 6 months or certainly a year.

Just ran into this issue, when I try to change the notification sound for email or messaging by selecting the Media Storage icon the phone locks up and reboots. I can select the ES File Explorer and Zedge icons with no problems.

Do I need to clear data on the Media Storage process or will that wipe out all of the original sound files?

I'm stock rooted and am currently using notifications for my email and messaging apps located in the Zedge folder.

Anyone else on Verizon (or any other G2 variant) having call quality issues? Phone was fine until today and then my voice calls started to 'digitize' randomly, almost like there is a short in the speaker. Hopefully its just some weird network thing and not my phone. :confused:

My quality of audio during calls is not good at all. But then, I only get 1-2 bars at home where I've used it so far. Ordered a VZN Network Extender, hope that helps.

There is a bug that produces that screech/digital sound every so often I think. There was a thread discussing it but I can't find it now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ctcelli:
I got that same crackle/screech today on a few calls. One was in a voicemail I received, where I assume that would be a clear message. I turned the volume down, and that seemed to help a little, but it was too sporadic to tell. This was when I wasn't on speakerphone. Don't know if it would occur on speakerphone too. But music turned all the way up seems to be fine, so I'm thinking it was the VZ network. However, I had 4 to 5 bars during my calls. I have another week on my trial period, if it continues, I may exchange for another one.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warptheory:
I have great quality on mine, but it does depend on where you are located and your signal. Poor signal kill battery and gets that digital sound. All phones are susceptible to that, not saying that lemons aren't out there, but in general if you have 3+ bars it should be fine. Less than that and it still should be fine, but could periodically digitize.

Also are you in an area where you have 3g at least? Using other carriers towers can do that. Turn off all roaming and if you cannot get bars it's not VZNs fault. If you do then VZN needs to update the towers. Some mom and pop cdma carriers lend their towers for a small fee which is how vzn got its coverage.

[General Topics] mathorv:
XDA is a mainly community of developers. However we all use mobile devices, they are sometimes faulty, damaged, bricked and so on.

In highly developed countries customers are usually respected, quality control of products for these markets is usually better. In less developed countries customers are sometimes held in contept when it comes to warranty service.

I think as a community we may also bring a bit of light on subject of after sales services - divided by brands/countries.

Why do that?

Buying product is not only about its functionality but also about after purchase services.

We like to tinker in stuff we unlock permanently bootloaders, root devices and some producers claim that it affects even warranty of charger, water resistance of phones and similar things that are ridiculous so it should be exposed. Phone(or any mobile device) is just like PC. Which producer will claim that we broken PC hardware by changing or tinkering with OS? None! Why it does not fully apply to mobile devices world?

There should be a place to describe our experiences with customer support by brands not just a single devices.

Quality of hardware repairs in some cases is LOW, we may apply a bit of pressure on producers to change it.

This forum should require more posts and thanks to actively participate in to prevent large scale abuse - black marketing .
