Hello there

Anyone here uses Avatar ROM (new versions?)

I flashed avatar-nightly_3.1.13-3a82645527-20131129-NIGHTLY-p990.zip with success but it does not have any tool or option to swap mount points to use the external SD has internal storage

I used root explorer to check for vold.fstab and edited as:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1

dev_mount emmc /storage/sdcard1 9 /devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmc_host/mmc0

Rebooted and the phone stuck in the Avatar logo

So I reflashed the ROM to use the phone and found nothing about how to swap the SD

I know that tonyp new ROM (4.3 CM 10.2) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48430556

has an internal feature (options/storage) to swap it, so it swaps the mounts, and reboots the phone and it works, but I prefere Avatar ROM since its more stable than the newer tonyp one

Tks

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piyush Pastor:
Hello to all of you 'the valuabe and intelligent' xda members.....

Today i am requesting some of your advice......

Friends every time i install any custom rom on my galaxy ace 5830i my IMEI is undetectable to settings and hence resulting in no sms and voice calls whereas internet is working fine.

In settings IMEI is unknown and *#06# has IMEI blank but apps like GalaxyToolbox can detect IMEI and hence showing the correct one .

So basically i wanted to ask you that is there is something in /system responsible for that may be build.prop. I really dont know the reason hope you can help me.

And also i am on stock kernel

And Build.prop has nothing to do with IMEI number ..

Happy flashing :)

Hello,

Figured I would pass this on as. I saw a few articles on the web that Squaretrade was covering rooted and jailbroken devices. I contacted them yesterday and their official response from 2 reps was that they do Not. I didn't expected they would, but there is some misinformation out there and wouldn't want to get caught with an issue.

Again no surprise on the response
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] pab8754:
Squaretrade reponse on warranty for rooted tablet

Hello XXXXX,

Thank you for contacting SquareTrade.

Yes, we would cover the tablet but we would not cover software. If because of the rooting to the tablet causes a problem in its functionality we would not cover it.

For further details you can also reply to this email or call 1-877-WARRANTY (1-877-927-7268) US & Canada only, 24/7.

Hope that answers your question!

Thank you,

april

SquareTrade Care Specialist

Hope this helps and the response is from yesterday.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] kkretch:
Sure Square Trade would cover it if you had drop and spill protection for a cracked screen or volume buttons break but I think what they are saying as well as what Samsung has already said........ they will not repair devices for free if you brick it trying to root the device like so many people have done in the past.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] JACK4HIRE:
I don't believe Square Trade covers any issues related to software to begin with.

I can't post links yet, but there are a dozen articles out there from 2012 where the VP of Square Trade categorically stated that rooted and jail broken devices would be covered for non software related problems and accidents.

Bork your phone trying to root it and you are on your own. Your two year old gives your phone a swimming lesson or uses it to drive in a nail and you should be good to go.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nirurin:
So wait... going from what you've said here, Samsung will still repair a device under warranty if it has hardware failure, they just wont repair a bricked device or one with software issues?

'Cos I was under the impression that a knoxxed device would lose its entire warranty cover, period.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] ddavtian:
He didn't say Samsung, he said Squaretrade, a third party company.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] nirurin:
"...but I think what they are saying

as well as what Samsung has already said

........ they will not repair devices for free if you brick it trying to root the device like so many people have done in the past."

Which means that Samsung have already said the same thing, eg. that they will give warranty for hardware but not software on rooted devices.

At least thats what is *written*, but I'm not sure if thats what he meant. Hence me asking the question.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] kkretch:
No one knows for sure but it has been suggested in other posts that Samsung may repair hardware issues if knox is tripped.

I don't want to find out ................. how about anyone else.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] quser1:
Weird, That means the reps are not that sure because here is the response I got. I has seen articles on the web stating they were covering rooted/jailbroken devices but wanted to make sure so I contacted them. Wish they had a solid repeatable response when asked about this.

Hello XXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting SquareTrade.

I apologise for the misunderstanding and unfortunately we do not cover rooted items.

For your future reference let me inform you that we cover all consumer electronic items and home appliances purchased from any retail or online store or eBay as long as it is in 30 day purchase window.

Should you have any further questions or concerns you can reply to this email or call 1-877-WARRANTY (1-877-927-7268) US & Canada only, 24/7.

Hello,

I am considering another warranty purchase on a Samsung Note 10.1 2014 tablet I just purchased. Do you provide warranty support if a device is rooted? My concern is getting a warranty and it is no good if this has been done. I am mainly looking for an extended warranty to cover hardware damage and accidental damage as this was an expensive purchase. I had in the past had one claim and it went well, I would love to have coverage to sleep well at night if it happens again, was an issue with my iPhone where the headphone jack quit working.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GitAlongLilDoggies:
This is contrary to an article from cnet that reported squaretrade covered jailbroken iphones and rooted androids,

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57428071-37/squaretrades-warranty-now-covers-jailbroken-iphones/

And FWIW, there's a link to the cnet article on squaretrades website.

Also I've read my contract and there is no mention of rooting voiding the contract.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] quser1:
Great, thank you for the information.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] quser1:
I called them out on that article about warranty support for rooted/jailbroken devices and this is the response I just got.

Hello XXXXX,

I apologize for any inconvenience!

The article published with information from our company is true and valid but only for IPhones.

Secondly if you can tell me where you purchased the tablet from then maybe I could assist you in getting the warranty.

For your future reference let me inform you that we cover all consumer electronic items and home appliances purchased from any retail or online store or eBay as long as it is in 30 day purchase window.

Hope that answers your question!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Smac7:
I know that samsung will. I personally contacted them about this. Only things that may be related to rooting will not be covered.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] allan1313:
This is all a moot point. It might be an ethical dilemma, but just make it so it doesn't power on and it will be covered.

[MENTION=481246]quser1[/MENTION]

Thanks for the info. I cancelled my squaretrade contract. If I have any warranty issues I'll deal with Samsung. If they try to renege I'll bring up the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] MasterZoen:
They covered my rooted Nexus 7 with no problems. Also stated in the article:

"According to Vincent Tseng, SquareTrade's VP of strategy, this extends to iPads and iPods, which the company also covers as part of its warranty service. The three gadgets share the same operating system. It's also in effect for devices running Google's Android OS."
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] macmachine87:
I agree if you paid for a warranty that covers accidents and such then a spill of coffee or a drop of the tablet would do the trick.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] SlimJ87D:
This was always common sense people, they only cover what the oem would cover unless if you pay extra for the damage protection due to negligence, etc.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] buch88own:
No need to root

If you don't want your device rooted. I found a way to basically get Google play without root for all android devices without framework or login services. I will make a thread after 9 more posts

The real question for me is: Why do they deny it?

Another: What about modified Android OS like FireOS for Kindle Fire?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BlazingAzn88:
I've been using squaretrade awhile and with every device I rooted. One was when I had the Asus tf700, since as soon as you root they take away warranty priveledges for both hardware and software. Well, when I dropped my tablet while running, they just shipped me a different refurbished item. Guess they couldn't repair it, but either way, as long as the software doesn't damage the device, any physical damage they'll cover (if you have ADP, which most of their tablet warranties have anyway).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] @home:
How far can you wander from your Note 3 & the Gear still work?

Ta
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] firasusman:
7 to 8 mtrs.. With partitions.

15 mtrs.. Open space.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] @home:
Another question -

Can you use the Gear as just a watch. If I chose to use a my N5 but wore the gear just as a watch - Can this be done?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dragoncius:
Why do you want to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] @home:
Because I have both phones - So is it possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dragoncius:
No. You asked if it was possible to use the Gear on its own.....And yes, it will only serve a watch though.

Yes, you can use your Gear with your N5 but not with all the functions.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] j89:
Yes, you can use the gear just as a watch. Due to the fact that it runs android and you can side-load I can see that become the most powerful feature in itself compared to other watches.

The distance is not as good as my earlier Sony Smartwatch but I found centrally locating the phone works now. I was expecting a lower range though due to the difference of Bluetooth standards; the Sony is a BT 3 device compared to the Gear which is a BT 4. Also, even though the watch does work over the range, S Voice isn't that good and you can hear garbled up conversations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyropup55:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotplug:
Please help and thank you in advance.

I'll try to make this as easy to read as possible.

Device (originally)

- M7_UL

- MID: PN0714000

- CID: HTC__044

- HBOOT: 1.54

Main problem:

- Baseband & IMEI shows as "unknown". However, values are still available through fastboot getvar all.

Suspected cause:

- Official OTA

Tried mixture of nearly everything:

- HBOOT 1.44, 1.54, 1.55, 1.56

- RUU zip, RUU exe, custom ROMs

- Sense or Google Editions

- Bootloader locked, unlocked, relocked

- s-on, s-off (rumrunner)

Results:

- Some ROMs bootable and usable except for baseband unknown = no cell signal. WiFi ok. (especially Google Edition ROMs)

- Some ROMs just keeps restarting (especially Sense ROMs)

- Some ROMs reach the lock screen, but once unlock only shows white screen with big HTC logo. Then auto restarts. (especially Sense ROMs)

- Some ROMs stops restarting when back to s-on. But still baseband unknown.

Please advice:

Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

I read somewhere that this could be a problem with partitions.

But I couldn't find any more info on how to check/fix partition problem.
