[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] htowngator:
Not really sure why anyone is worried about voided warranty with unlocked BL because this thing is all but unbrickable from that standpoint. I mean you seriously have to eff things up to keep yourself from being able to do a full reinstall from factory image. In fact, the only way I could imagine is that if you corrupted the bootloader.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Johmama:
Yeah, exactly. As long as someone doesn't format their bootloader partition and turn it off without flashing another bootloader, it's almost impossible to brick a Nexus. They basically have to willingly brick it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
I don't agree on this with you on this. It is counterproductive to continue on, so I will stop.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fgcchevy:
I sent my nexus 7 2013 in for repair. It was rooted and bootloader was unlocked

In my case, the internal memory was corrupted and there was no way to return it back to stock. I could get into twrp recovery but everything I tried failed. I should know by tomorrow if it will be replaced or not as they received it Friday.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] danvee:
Please keep us posted as to what they end up doing, and how long it takes in house...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] edibles:
What happened?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] fgcchevy:
They did finally fix it, but they had me send it to the wrong repair facility! So by the time the mistake was caught, then they sent it to the correct facility, then it got fixed, it took about a month! I was calling and emailing them on a daily basis! I can imagine how much longer it may have taken, if I was not pressuring them?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jonidontcry:
Juz bcoz the producer does not want you to touch inside your tablet.

However I also don't know why they refuse warranty - as we only need to warrant the hardware, right?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dimcreed22:
Sorry to bring this up, i have a Nexus 7 2013 With grounding touch issue i wanna send it for fix under warranty , i locked the bootloader and flash a stock 4.4 image from the toolkit and everything works like day one,is everything ok so i'm under warranty now?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bokoy:
Yes, I didn't have any problem doing like that 2 times

Thanks alot bro i really appriciate it,i hope the will do something (fix it or send me an other unite)with grounding miss touch issue and the buzz sound when its charging and touch the screen...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] chrisg553:
I had a hairline Crack in my nexus 7 that I caused by sliding a toothpick between the bezel and the screen because some how one of my dogs hairs worked it's way in there, and the pressure was enough to Crack the screen. Well anyways, I sent it into Asus for repair and I was unlocked running pac man rom.... Didn't bother to flash stock as usually screen damage is not covered by warranty regardless of how it cracked. But Asus repaired it under warranty free of charge... So I'd have to say an unlocked bootloader doesn't void warranty.... Or I just got lucky.. When I did receive it back tho it was unrooted and stock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] briangnyc:
I am awaiting my repaired Nexus 7 from ASUS. I was unlocked, rooted and had a custom rom installed. My device just decided to get stuck in APX mode and I could not boot into recovery or even get the thing to turn on. I would say it was most likely a corrupted bootloader. I have been rooting and using custom roms on all my devices and have never had a bootloader corrupt on me. Anyway, The turn around time was less than a week and it says the job is complete and on its way back to me via FEDEX. I am pretty sure if they denied the warranty it would not have said complete and being shipped back to me. When I receive it on Friday, I'll post my results, but I am 99.9% sure it has been repaired even though it was unlocked with a possibly corrupted bootloader and all. Fingers crossed!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jfriend33:
This thread has been VERY helpful.

I've been back and forth with their customer service. I've shown them several instances where customers had touch screen sensitivity issues and poor multi touch, Sent them in and they sent it back with older firmware and didn't actually fix it!

I told Asus I didn't want to root my device and flash a fix and that I wanted a refurbished or new replacement. They told me rooting would void the warranty. And the first time I called the guy said he could see over the phone that I was not rooted! How could they even see that?

Well I'm done dealing with this crap. I'm sure the TS fix here on xda will work just fine and I won't have any issues for the rest of my warranty anyway.

Sheesh. And to think the first nexus had screen problems too. Oy. Ill informed consumer that is me.

But honestly I am amazed at the tablets battery life and Standby time. It's so good. But try typing something when it's laying flat... Good luck.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LinearEquation:
Bull****. These tablets are made to be modded. At most they lock the bootloader up but you should be able to warranty it regardless.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] briangnyc:
I received my Unlocked, Rooted, Custom Rom Nexus 7 back from ASUS Repair all fixed and good to go and YES, covered under the warranty. My Nexus 7 was stuck in APX mode because I somehow actually corrupted the bootloader. Anyway, lesson learned as I have now used NVFLASH to backup the blobs, etc. No matter really because ASUS repaired my tablet free of charge with no problem even though rooted, unlocked, etc. The total time was about 9 days from start to finish. The tablet was re-locked and had the default OS, etc. when I got it back.

Apparently they do re-install to defaults. It's good news if you are stuck in APX mode and I don't even think they bother trying to check it. If they see it's in APX mode, they simply wipe, re-load and ship it back. Thanks ASUS!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jfriend33:

hi, i am thinking of selling my htc desire and would like to know if there is a way to reset all that I have done to it.

1) I Have S-OFF my phone and changed the splash screen to a custom one and would like to know if there is a way to revert it back to the original htc splash screen, (EDIT: i THINK I FOUND THE SOLUTION TO THIS 1ST PROBLEM ON TROUBLESHOOTING RESOURCES) - if theres a easier way please let me know

2) is there a way to unroot my phone

3)Where can i find the original htc sense rom?

Ive changed all these things (splash screen, rom) quite a while ago, so forgive me if i forgot to tell you guys something.

thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
If you have changed you hboot then you must first flash the downgrader hboot found here. (Download the PB99IMG file). If you have never changed hboot, dont worry about doing this.

Then you just need to flash an RUU. This will return you to s-on and give you the stock 2.3 gb sense rom. You can download the RUU here.

To install PB99IMG files read this guide.

[HTC Desire X] ms20:
Hi.

I'm trying to flash a new ROM on to my DX after being on the stock JB ROM.

Bootloader unlock went fine and the recoveries I've tried (TWRP 2.5.0.0 and CWM touch and non-touch versions) have all flashed fine.

But the recoveries aren't wiping or flashing properly even though they say the actions have been successful - factory reset/wipe works fine but I tried wiping /system/ and this had no effect, and neither does flashing a ROM - I've tried mySense, myOne and Fulmix and flashed the boot.img's with fastboot, but it has no effect on the phone - it just boots into stock with some of the apps from these ROMs added e.g. superSU. I can't get root on stock either.

Nandroid backups also fails immediately in all the recoveries I've tried.

The phone still works fine in stock at the moment.

In CWM there is an error which keeps appearing after actions and on boot:

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I followed the instructions from this thread, and my laptop is running Lubuntu 13.04 (I have an Ubuntu 13.04 Live USB and Windows 7 in a VM if required).

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
You're using JB recovery for ICS hboot or vice versa. Which hboot do you have? For versions 1.24 and lower use a recovery for ICS hboot, for version 1.25... use a recovery for JB hboot, there are several (Philz Touch or neXus TWRP), just take a look in Original Android Development Section.

Now before I get flamed, I am actually trying to help out my good friend's daughter who is in 2nd grade. She has reset her lock screen password so many times that she no longer remembers it and can't get past the lock screen.

1. This is an "iPhone/iProduct" family and I am glad they want to try to use Android.

2. Since I have a SGS4, they asked me to set-up their Galaxy Tab 7.0.

3. Now they are asking if I can "reset" the password. I would like to do so without erasing memory but if I have to do a hard reset, would appreciate any help.

I looked through a variety of other "lock screen threads" with no avail. Any help or links would be greatly appreciated!

forgot iPhone passcode

You can use iTunes to fix forgot iPhone passcode:

Connect iPhone to your computer.

Launch iTunes, select the iPhone in the "Devices" list, then "Summary" at the top of the screen. If iTunes doesn't automatically sync your iPhone, do so manually and confirm that the sync and backup were successful.

Click “Check for Update.” iTunes tells you if there is a newer version of the iPhone software available.

Click Restore. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the restore process. When restoring, it is recommended that you again backup the iPhone when prompted.

When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your iPhone, choose "Restore from iTunes backup."

Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your iPhone.

After this process, your iPhone should be restored with the information from its last backup, but it no longer will have the passcode enabled.

Upgrading my ROM to the latest build has greatly improved the issue with SD card corruption but i am still unable to copy large files (100mb and above) from my computer, it starts copying and halfway through gives an error message that there is insufficient space on the card even though there's more than 600mb available before copying. I then find that i have either lost 30-40mb on the card jus disappearing and sometimes it just corrupts the card and i lose all the information on it

is there a solution for this? is there such a utility that would copy large files without corrupting the card? assuming it is activesync that is causing this

please advise

many thanks in advance
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dakky:
i guess you should buy yourself a USB2.0 card reader for ~10 euros and copy whatever you want to card........
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sygad:
afraid to say that is the exact same experience i've had.

Prolem, it seems is with active sync, I can copy hundreds of files but no file greater than about 100Mb onto my 1Gig card.

Had to resort to a card reader, bit of pain in the arse as now i've got another device fighting for desk space, but the benefits are worth it, MUCH faster and you can copy pretty much anything.

The only problem I've had with my Sandisk 1GB Ultra II is that when I take the card out of the device and put it into as card reader, all of the directory names are scrambled random characters, and I can't write to or read from the card. I had the same problem with a 256Mb trandflash card.

You can use the program "pocket mechanic". with this you can scan, repair, format and defrag your SD/MMC.

Try Softick cardexport, then you can use you're magician as an usb-drive. It writes faster than act.sync and probably without size issues and it will save you another device as well :wink:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hungry_joe:
First off, I want to thank [MENTION=3500210]tiny4579[/MENTION] for the great work bringing CM10.1 to the DInc. :good::good::good: For me personally it runs better than CM7.2 did. The only negatives were not specific to your rom, things like Instagram or Spotify didn't work properly on any rom other than stock.

This is for [MENTION=1414091]VanillaTbone[/MENTION] [MENTION=4470859]zimlokks[/MENTION] recommending Operation Killjoy to run on top of Tiny's build. I tried Operation Killjoy to deal with the occasional lag and find that when I try to use apps that I normally would, my phone freezes and reboots or forces me to pull the battery.

The phone would freeze while doing things I do often like updating apps in Play, reading Feedly. I've tried with entropy on/off, ram boost moderate or agressive. Doesn't matter. Are you guys doing something specific to get it to work with apps? Things like unlocking the phone and scrolling my way through the system is very speedy, it's just when I need to do things. I'm using the 09-05-2013_official release of Operation Killjoy. Uninstalling for now.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Lawr3nce:
Google play store app is force closing whenever I try to enter the store.

Google play store is force closing EVEN WHEN I TURN ON THE PHONE, AS SOON AS THE OS BOOTS.

I tried to reflash stock,reinstall recovery and reroot.Result: nothing

I tried the clear data,cache from SETTINGS->APPLICATIONS->MANAGE APPS.Result: nothing

I tried moving2sd/moving back to phone.Result: nothing

I tried to download the googleplay apk and install it.Result: nothing

Does it has something to do with the fact that I removed some bloatware apps(like softwareupdate.apk which runs nonstop and eats RAM) with TitaniumBackup? Is the GooglePlay app inseparable from some bloatware which shouldn't be removed?

Can somebody help me with the proper solution?What else can I try in order to fix this?I have galaxy fit on 2.3.6 stock.

Thanks.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Vaykadji:
My average CPU temp is 34°C (93°F), and I go up to 67°C (152°F) when I play games (like GTA-VC).

Do you think it's normal that kind of temperature from the S4Pro ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drms12:
Actually this is really low...

67c on high load like games, which stress the cpu?

My device goes to 80c easily, starts to throttle cpu speed and shut down cores, all of the devices do that. This temps are normal.

By the way which app you used to measure that temps?

If you really want to see how your device holding up,

Download that app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.into.stability

While run the classic Stability Test measure your cpu usage and temps.

Personally I use FauxClock.

After a few minutes you'll see the high temps and the cores throttle.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Slavon-93:
Oh, joining this question. Just got a 32Gb LTE version and found out it's getting quite warm when playing something like Osmos, Doodle Jump or something. I don't know how to get the exact temperature, cause monitors I' found on market, show only the battery temp. Anyway who else gets his N7 warm/hot when some heavy app is running? Asking, cause my friend also got the same N7 and I don't remember it to be hot even after running 3D games for quite a long time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Vaykadji:
I used the app "System Tuner" from gplay.

Apparently, your StabilityTest app requires more power than GTA-VC, I recorded a 82°C with a 50mV undervolt (on Franco r3 kernel) after a 8min StabilityTest, then I just stopped it. I'm a little afraid of this kind of temperature :/ Are you sure it's okay ? I don't know well the mobile device world...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drms12:
That's the real temperature , even higher,

And you don't need to worry too much.

Your device will turn off if the CPU reaches too high CPU temp,

And 80-90 c is fine. The soc is built to work on that temps.

As you could see your CPU shutdown cores and lower cores speed while the temperatures going higher, that's called throttle.

You don't need to worry too much.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tni.andro:
StabilityTest can load all 4 CPU cores 100%. You won't find a game that does that.

The CPU will be thermally throttled (clock frequency will be limited when the temperature is too high), so you won't damage anything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Slavon-93:
And is the average temp of 45-50 °C normal? I'm just using Skype and surfing the internet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] BladeZero:
If you run a adb logcat while gaming you start to see alerts going off for high temperatures when it gets around 70°c or higher. I found it very interesting that it was alerting when it got that high instead of ignoring it like you say till 80-90°c.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] drms12:
Games use GPU which adds much more heat to the conclusion.

Stability Test don't.

The device doesn't ignore it till 80-90c. It's start at 60c.

I just say that it's safe temp for the soc to operate. Which means your cpu never use all cores, and the cores that active wouldn't be at the highest speed, while the cpu reaches 60c, more heat more throttle.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Vaykadji:
Ok thanks to all of you, so it's like computers : if it's too hot, it will stop before it reaches a dangerous temperature.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Silvest:
Those are quite ok. If you include skype with voice/video calling ofcourse. I just get about 30-40 with just surfing and chatting facebook messenger skype/yahoo/viber on background
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Vincent Law:
I'm fairly sure the CPU tends to downclock itself not because IT is getting too hot, but because it's generating too much heat for the battery. Almost all CPUs can easily withstand upwards of 80C. Batteries, on the other hand, can't.
