I wish I'd known that when Yodel lost/stole my phone 2 years ago. Carphone Warehouse made me wait 2 weeks before they would send another. :(

if i don`t get anywhere with customer service i always look for the CEO and i would think 90% of the time you`ll get what you want + extras.

i did it with Sky and i got the full package free for 12months.
[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
The funny thing is that I would normally do that. I seem to remember that I couldn't find an email address for anyone higher than customer service at the time.

I had major problems with my HTC Hero a few years back and pestered T-Mobile's CEO, Richard Moat after getting nowhere with customer service. I got a call from his PA and ended up with a free HTC Desire, which was the top of the line phone at the time.

[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
ok you are s-on....you can do 1 of 2 things to make this quick. download the android sdk program as it has the fastboot tool built in or dig around for the rezound all in one toolkit which also containing same fastboot tool...you use command prompt in windows 7 to do it...or if you have ubuntu this is installed by default...what you gotta do is extract the boot.img from that rom itself that you are flashing and place it in the same folder as your fastboot tool....put phone in hboot with volume down and power to get to that screen and select fastboot by tapping power button to do so.....plug the phone in and youll see it now says fastboot usb...now in command prompt or terminal cd into that folder that contains the fastboot tool and type this command. fastboot flash boot boot.img then press enter and it will flash the boot.img and your phone will fully boot up

[HTC Rezound] derileec:
Was omw to install radi-o so i just install it with windows 7x64, will it work?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
with proper drivers and such yes...there is methods for flashing radio while s-on....same method almost....i really suggest while on a windows 7 pc to gain s-off using rumrunner method as it will make your life alot easier....as you will not have to flash the boot.img with every rom while s-off
[HTC Rezound] derileec:
Hi i found an old computer with xp x32 fastboot worked gr8.

I think i still did something wrong :) couse this rom was for s-off :/ well lol @ me Can some sweet soul point out an room+kernel+boot

for My phone that will remove that pice of **** verizon thing?Or better to go putt S-off with wire trick? is it healthy?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
dude with rummrunner method you dont need a wire trick....but you do need to be on custom kernel like funky kernel and a non stock sense rom and custom recovery like cwm....also being on a non sense rom will get rid of that verizon message

[Moto X Q&A] pa5tabear:
Should I port my number to Google Voice?

What are the issues with having your number on Google Voice?

I will soon be switching from AT&T to an MVNO (probably straight talk). I don't totally understand the process and benefits. It seems like people recommend doing this in order to avoid hassles when changing MVNOs. I know it costs $20 but it gives you some benefits like backing up your communications and more ownership of your number.

I have an unlocked T-Mobile Moto X.
[Moto X Q&A] mastarifla:
Do you MMS?

Skip Google Voice

Texting isn't as reliable over data than via cell radios in my experience.

MVNO's have high data pings, if you can stand this then you are fine saving $15 a month, otherwise just go with GoPhone, same ping as postpaid, no data speed caps, roughly same coverage map, and you keep AT&T customer support.
[Moto X Q&A] UncleMike:
Almost 2 years ago I ported my number from Verizon to Google Voice before switching to Straight Talk, primarily because it was my published business number and I wasn't comfortable trusting Straight Talk with it. About 5 months ago I switched to GoPhone, and a few weeks ago I ported my number from Google Voice to GoPhone, and posted "Why I'm ditching Google Voice as my public number" at Android Forums:

Almost 20 months ago I ported my number from Verizon to Google Voice, bought a Galaxy Nexus, and activated it on Straight Talk (I've since switched to AT&T Go Phone). I told no one, and used my Google Voice number as my only number. Immediately I noticed the latency on voice calls, resulting in lots of me talking over the other party, or vice versa. During the 20 or so months of use, I've seen absolutely no improvement in this area. As a result, this morning I put in a port request to transfer my Google Voice number to AT&T.

There have been other issues too, like:

The crappy UI and pathetic attempt at threading GV conversations

The inability to use Google Voice for quick responses when ignoring an incoming call (the API and permissions have existed in Android since 4.3)

Lack of MMS support

Incompatibility with some services (i.e. banks) that send texts to mobile numbers

The concept of Google Voice is great - one number, forever and always. It made it very easy for me recently when I was testing out the Nexus 5 and Moto X - I could use either phone and no one knew I was changing phones on a (sometimes) daily basis.

For those who primarily use data and texting, and make/receive few voice calls, it may not be a deal breaker, but for me the frustration of the voice latency far outweighs the benefits, even if all the other issues I listed are fixed.

But... once my port is complete, I'll probably get another GV number for use as voicemail, and for exchanges with possible Craigslist buyers, or others I don't want to give my real number to. In that case, the benefit of anonymity outweighs the downside of the latency.
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
Correct me if I'm wrong but.... I'm under the impression that if you port your number to google voice you don't have to use the google voice app.

I'm sure you could just set up the call forwarding and avoid using the google voice app so you could still have the benefits of your own actual phone number?
[Moto X Q&A] UncleMike:
There are two things to consider with Google Voice: calls and texting.

Porting your number to Google Voice does not necessarily require you to use the Google Voice app. You can setup the forwarding so that all calls to your GV number get forwarded to your real number. If you subsequently change your real number, you can easily change the GV forwarding to that new number and callers won't know the difference. For outgoing calls, you can choose to use Google Voice for no calls, all calls, international calls only, or to ask each time you make a call. If you don't use GV for a call, your real number will appear to the called party - ruining the transparency of Google Voice (that I enjoyed while testing phones). This may not be a problem for you.

For texting you have several options:

use the GV app to read and send "texts" - this maintains the transparency of Google Voice, and others send texts to your GV number and receive texts from your GV number

Skip GV and use another messaging app (including the stock app) - this totally eliminates the transparency since all texts are sent to/from your real number

Use GV's "mapping" feature - others send texts to your GV number, but the GV redirects them to your real number, making them appear in your default messaging app. The caveat here is that the messages you receive this way will appear to be from a number that's different than the number of the person that sent the text, but the message body will be prefixed with the senders name (taken from your contacts). If you send/reply to this other number, the recipient will see the text as coming from your GV number. To really make this method useable, you have to add these alternate numbers to each contact that you text. Also, until you receive a text from someone, you have no way of knowing what their "other" number is.
[Moto X Q&A] c19932:
If you are rooted, you can use xvoiceplus which allows you to use other messaging app instead of Google voice to send or receive text message. You can even make google voice voicemail appear on the phone call log, so you never really have to use the Google voice app directly. But then voice mail thing is kinda buggy; old voicemails sometimes reappear as notification when you restart the phone.

If you can live with sms only then google voice can save you a few bucks every month. Since texting will be done through data instead of cellular signal, it won't be as good when you are in a bad signal area.

maybe try this?

I was having a similar problem because the computer wasnt finding where the bootloader file was saved on my machine (im no expert....i couldnt resist tinkering with my nexus)

I followed these instructions and they seemed to have helped, but obviously change the relevant sections in the flash-all file.

webmastersdiary.com/blog/how-to-unlock-a-bootloader-and-flash-a-factory-image-on-a-nexus-device

I'm using a mac and had to change the file called 'flash-all.sh' and add in these instructions so the computer could find out exactly where the files such as bootloader.img were. I used an editor called xcode to do it (which is alreadt saved on my computer:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot earse boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastbootflah bootloader /documents/development/adt-bundle-mac-x86_6420130514/sdk/platform-tools/bootloader-grouper-4.23.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

sleep 10

fastboo -w update /documents/development/adt-bundle-mac-x86_6420130514/sdk/platform-tools/image-nakasi-lrx21p.zip

as you can see i had to show exactly where the files were located before it would work.

PS make sure you have a working zip extractor...such as s winzip or something to that effect

Good luck.

Hey guys I got a simple question about the bootloader on the XZ. I just unlocked the bootloader after keeping a backup of my TA partition and rooted the stock. 101 firmware. What I want to know is, do I lose anything (except Bravia Engine and TrackID). Reason I am asking is that I saw a discussion about camera quality being lower on unlocked BL. Is that legit?

if my memory serves me correct then the app that requires busybox should state that your phone doesnt have it isntalled and it would like to help you isntall it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fgr:
The easy way:

Goto the playstore and search for busybox.

If it says installed, you're all good. If not, install it.

The little bit harder way:

Open up a terminal on the phone and type "busybox" at the prompt. If its installed it will give you version/help info.

or

Connect phone to your computer and make sure usb debugging is enabled.

open a command prompt on your computer.

Type "adb shell busybox"

The same version/help info should come up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JoeFCaputo113:

[Moto X Q&A] gangrif:
So, this may have been brought up already, I did try to search, but didnt come up with much.

So, i bought a Moto X, even after hearing the lenovo/google news. I figure that they cant ruin the device quickly enough to justify second-guessing my long and painstaking decision process.

Anyway, touchless control is pretty awesome. Ive been tinkering with it since i got it. I'm a long time android user, and have been using google now for some time. The problem is this.

I drive a 2013 Jeep, with a UConnect bluetooth hands-free system. It works for what its supposed to work for, i can make calls, stream audio, all is well. In fact its working better than it did on my old GNex. However, once I connect my motox to UConnect (that is, i get in, turn on the Jeep, and bluetooth associates), touchless control becomes unresponsive. In fact, it seems that even if i try to manually initiate a voice search, google now cant hear me. I can use the voice input for the keyboard, just not voice commands. It's almost like as soon as i'm paired to a bluetooth input, google now voice input/touchless control get turned off. Which to me seems odd.

I tried looking around in my settings, i cant seem to find a setting that tells the phone to do this. It just doesnt work.

Also, if i turn off bluetooth while the Jeep is still running, touchless/voice input starts working again.

I havent tried pairing it to another bluetooth headset to see if it does it then too, i'll update this thread once i've had a chance to try that.

Is this something others are experiencing? Is it supposed to do this for some safety feature, and I dont know it?

Thanks!

Sorry about the forum mix-up and duplication before. I'm new to forums :P

Ok, so this is my first ever forum post (not anymore) and I have resorted to this after hours of searching for a fix.

So let's get straight to the point. After changing my drag password thingy, I forgot it. Numerous attempts later to unlock the password, I found myself on this 'Sign in with your google account' screen of doom.

My phone runs 4.0 ice-cream sandwich.

My problems are:

WiFi is disabled

USB-Debugging is disabled

Things I've already tried:

Factory reset on bootloader - the HTC screen just pops up then it freezes on it.

Recovery on bootloader - the HTC screen just pops up then it freezes on it.

Calling the phone with another phone and trying to drag the notification bar down/ button mashing - nothing happens.

Using ADB to unlock it - I can't because USB-Debugging is disabled.

Various fixes that use WiFi - WiFi is disabled.

Please, please, please help me! My phone has been locked like this for a month now. I've only had the phone for 6 months and I use(d) it very regularly. I will appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks!!
