[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdadogg:
what is your opinion on the root

Is it worth risking the warranty on the phone

People and developers who deal with this would be useful if you share your opinion on this issue
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
If you are seriously scared about warranty and all that stuff, you shouldn't root.

But, I, well, have been using Android for past 5 years now, and there is not a single device I owned which I haven't rooted, in fact the first thing I do right after purchasing a device is root. You have a V12 in your Lambo, what's the point of not pushing it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdadogg:
Sounds good, well said
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baleoncito:
In accordance

All my devices have root :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
But seriously, what is the odd you ever need the warranty? In comparison with what I gained from rooting, I can live with slight risk that I may ever need warranty. It doesn't cover human damage anyway (like drop or something )

30 minutes later after I got my first Android device, which was Nexus S, I just rooted it after little studying on the rooting.

After that, I'd prepared everything needed for root and new custom recovery, ROM , kernel and MOD before I even purchase it.

My day with Android began with Nexus S, after that Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S III and now Galaxy S IV, I haven't needed warranty even for once...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdadogg:

Yes I just saw this too, and I love watches. It looks very nice but not sure if I will ever buy one. I think of watches as accessories that last for years and would be afraid of being stuck with dated tech a year later.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
As cool as this looks... it's tough to get excited about it. This is Gen 1 hardware on a 0.9b platform.

But here's hoping I'm wrong...

This looks nice but a little big for my taste. I'll have to check it out when it releases. I have the Sony Smartwatch 1. It works great with the Moto X. I like being able to read all my text messages, emails and play songs (adjust volume as well), while driving. Your wrist is on the wheel anyway. It's a easy look to see messages, or tap to adjust music playback and volume.

[HTC EVO 3D] wingeldash:
Last night I plugged my Evo in to charge while I slept, and it ended up getting mixed into my bed in the process. When I woke up it was under a pillow. burning hot, so I unplugged it. This phone has a history of overheating but not that often and never to the point where it doesn't work, but this time the screen wouldn't turn on. The red light flashed weakly a couple times like it was trying to start itself back up but nothing. I took the battery out and cooled the phone and battery for 20 minutes and tried again, nothing until I plugged it back in, and then it was just the red light, I want to try charging it more but I'm worried that could wreck it for good. Also, I bought the phone off ebay through a commercial seller, but it's on Rogers through my dad's company so I could get it looked at if I have to. Help?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Starlight:
Hello!

I've just got the MDA Pro which I've bought on an online auction. It generally works, but I have a few problems with it...

First of all, I got it with no charger apart from the USB cable... is it supposed to be like that?

Second, I didn't get any CD with drivers, and when I connect it to the computer, it asks for a driver... I tried looking for the drivers online, but I couldn't find anything. Where can I get them?

Also when I started it for the first time, I got a screen saying "Test Only, Not For Sale".... this is weird!

Another thing is a strange version number. The ROM version is ok, I think... it's 1.30.68 WWE. But the Radio version is 0.00.00 :shock: However, the phone seems to work well....

The last thing is that the MDA has a German keyboard, but an English ROM, so some of the buttons are wrong... for example, I press Fn+2, which should give me a ", but I get a @ instead. Is there some program which changes the keyboard layout in the system?

All in all, I like my new MDA, but I'd like it more if I could at least connect it to the computer, so that I can install things on it. Right now I can copy stuff to my MDA using a SD card, but I can't install programs that way :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Hi Starlight, welcome to the board.

Be wary of what you buy on online auctions :)

1. Charger cable - it does come with a mains charger normally, but a USB lead will be fine, if slower. But you can buy one on ebay for around £4.

2. You shouldn't need the drivers that are first asked for when you plugin. Just click "no this time" or something, and it'll shut up if you have appropriate user rights on your PC.

Then, you need to go to microsoft.com and download ActiveSync. Ideally disconnect the pda first, install, and then plugin usb again, and everything should recognise itself and you'll be away.

Note - using the sd reader method is much faster in any event, for large files like films.

3. Test only sounds odd. Sounds like you're using a test rom, I've not seen it before. Is it every time you boot, or just in use itself, or just the once etc?

4. Radio 0.00.00 means the phone was once network locked, and has now got Buzz's special rom on it, used to unlock it to simunlocked. Read around on the board about this should it be necessary, but basically, find your operator and flash it ASAP with a nice official rom. 0.00.00 shouldn't do any harm, but it was only a special rom for unlocking.

5. Keyboard - I think some other guys have solutions on this on the board. Worst (or best?) case, use an essential app called PQz.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
I can answer some of your questions:

- mine came with a charger that you can plug in the mains + the usb cable

- you don't need a driver, just download active sync 4.1 from the Microsoft site, install it, THEN plug your device in (obviously that should have come on a cd)

- regarding the rom 'test message', looks like someone sold you a prototype. I can be a good or a bad thing. Hopefully you can flash the rom and upgrade it to a 'standard' model.

Good luck!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Starlight:
Thanks for the answers! :)

Wow, a prototype... well, that explains why it was so cheap! It was cheaper than other MDA Pros, that's why I bought it.

I've downloaded ActiveSync 4.1, but it said that I need Service Pack 2, so now I'm downloading a 272 MB SP2 :D

As for the charger, I think I'll buy something like this: http://photos.allegro.pl/photos/oryginal/10/1092/109247/10924799/109247999

It's supposed to be an universal charger for everything which can be charged by an USB cable, so I hope it will work :)

I'll try to look around the forums for something about the keyboard... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Starlight:
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to add something...

I got a CAB version of some registry editor and changed some keyboard settings, and it works well now! :)

The SP2 is 53% downloaded, and I have to install it before I install ActiveSync to connect the MDA to the computer...

As for the "Test Only, Not For Sale" message, it appears on the startup screen after a reset... and there's a i-mate logo under it. So I guess my MDA must have been flashed before, because there's a T-Mobile logo on it...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Thanks for the udpate. Glad to know you managed to make work ok in the end! :lol:

Petitions are pretty much useless. There was over 100000 signatures for moto to release source. Result, nothing, nada, zilch. Spreading the word and getting the tech news/blogs to pick up on it is more ideal as it may get the actuall owners of the Linux kernel notice. From there, additional pressure and possible legal action.

[Ornate TrueSmart] CyberianIce:
You should pursue your specific device manufacturers for distributing source code, and not MediaTek as they are not in obligation relations with You or anybody else but with other hardware manufacturers which utilizes their SoC.

As the matter of fact, I asked three manufacturers who are involved in producing Alcatel's devices, and they provided me with source code I asked for (devices based on MT6572, MT6589).

What MTK charging for is bundle of sources and

technical documentations

for their hardware, and they are charging other companies who uses that electronics, not end users. Keep in mind that MTK don't producing phones but instead electronics. So next time knock on right door before throw hate over internet.
[Ornate TrueSmart] AdamOutler:
Charging for Linux Kernel sources is piracy, regardless of who is being charged. MTKs policy just adds a level of abstraction. They are distributing the kernel, they need to provide source.
[Ornate TrueSmart] CyberianIce:
They are distributing kernel but not to individuals like You but to device manufacturers, so what do You want from MTK?

I'm aware of this, Sir, and they are to, but somebody wrong interpreted this, they are charging for technical documentation for hardware manufacturers not for individuals and not for source code. Source codes must be provided by device manufacturers from which an individual bought device because one must accept that MTK can't take responsibility for firms which make phones with their SoCs, especially because there are many clones of popular devices like SGS3 or SGS4 on market, that is whay you need to search source on other place, not MTK. Everyone know how deep are MTK's SoCs involved in plagiarism but that is not their fault, they just produce cheap chips.

Look here an example how serious firms like Alcatel (who now have CE) always provide full codes for their devices, even for MTK ones: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/

You can find here MTK source codes for many popular SoCs.

You can't expect same behaviour from all manufacturers why make devices with MTK chips, especially from those low-profile companies form east universe.

If you have a Samsung Device you get the Kernel Sources from opensource.samsung.com

And petitions dont work because the Vendor dont care about

https://github.com/aniruddha-adhikary/mt6572_kernel
[Ornate TrueSmart] AndreiLux:
No they are not. Device manufacturers are distributing the kernel, it's up to them to release their sources and they are the legally binded entities to do so. MediaTek is not even able to deliver sources for such requests because they are not the holders of the software and any GPL source request to them has the same legal worth as to asking your grandmother for sources.

Sad to see such horse-raddish misinformation still going on on XDA.
[Ornate TrueSmart] AdamOutler:
Actually, they are. They provide a compilation server with no way to get the source off, only patch.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Jarocks:
And the Mediatek fanclub arrives right on cue...

Neither Omate nor Umeox has the Mediatek sources. Mediatek has done a great job at keeping the code they stole from American companies under lock and key, which is why porting Cyanogenmod to mediatek devices has been such a slow and near impossible task.

Without kernel sources or appropriate drivers, there is little the dev community can do.

[Ornate TrueSmart] xboxfanj:
Not sure how true this article is: http://www.androidauthority.com/mediatek-gpl-360190/

but it says that OMate doesn't even have source and that they receive binaries from MediaTek and are unable to distribute source they don't have (obviously). In that case, MediaTek is required to release source.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Jarocks:
This is completely true. Mediatek demanded an exuberant price for code that should already be available under GPL.

Lol@mtk fanboism....

Read the GPL dude. Yes they are.
[Ornate TrueSmart] xboxfanj:
He's actually right there. If I give you code without distributing binaries and you modify the code and distribute binaries, only you are required to give source. If the binaries were made by the OEM, MediaTek is not liable.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Jarocks:
The point is that the binaries were given to the OEM by mediatek.

Tapatalked from my HTC Droid DNA
[Ornate TrueSmart] CyberianIce:
Why such attitude? Remember, it is in my best interest to get that source codes, I'm not MTK fun. I'm only person who's duty is to understand and interpret basics of international business laws. MTK don't distribute anything to END USERS and they have no obligations to them (You, me or anybody here). But they have to device manufacturers, and they have to END USERS. It's a chain. And If you pull GPL legal arguments than you must respect other aspects of international business laws.

So anybody who wants their source code, should search for that at their device manufacturer address, as that is in their jurisdiction, instead of MTK.

You should be aware that there are some firms which make clones of popular devices (breaking law), and what do you expect from them, to respect GPL v2, are you serious? Those companies even have no licences for sale such devices! And on the other side there are some firms which will give you source code on demand.

[MENTION=5346995]jumoog[/MENTION]

Nice analogy is with Qualcomm and SAMSUNG.
[Ornate TrueSmart] gerhardo:
MediaTek may try to cover up for courts in Taiwan/China, but they are the bad guys here that charge Umeox/Omate for something they must supply for free to the OEM and the OEM to the end customers.

Courts favor domestic companies, compare to Apple vs Samsung.

But if MediaTek wants to have OEM in the Western world, they will have to comply to the GPL.
[Ornate TrueSmart] CyberianIce:
MediaTek had OEMs in Western World last time I checked. European Union / France is western enough for my understanding and they do business under CE (Conformité Européenne) regullary. But does your OEM have ITC/FTC/CE approval for what it's doing, that is different question and normally if they don't, they will redirect you to MediaTek probably to shake you off.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
I'll put it succinctly. A group of developers were asked, on behalf of the company, to petition MTK to obtain source code for the device so that it could be improved at an OEM level because of security leaks, holes, and compromises.

Despite the fact that they represented the OEM, they were told they have to pay for said source code. THE OEM. This came straight from the horse's mouth (MediaTek).

Your argument is invalid, your point is moot, and you need to be quiet. If you don't know what you're talking about, just stop talking.
[Ornate TrueSmart] CyberianIce:
Sorry but I couldn't let You compromising reputation of Chinese chip manufacturer just because YOUR OEM (which, by the way, don't have any FCC or CE certificate for doing international business) refused to give you sources as they should on your request. You fighting wrong war here trying to convince me in something instead of fighting with your OEM to get that sources. I signed for this ridiculous petition anyway.

And you should talk with more kindness or don't talk at all. I'm trying to help you by redirecting to right address but I give up now.

After all, there are plenty of MTK sources on the internet if you use baidu instead of talking here. I don't know what you want more from MTK or how they can help you with your phone, they don't make phones anyway. Think about that.

Good luck with this!
[Ornate TrueSmart] AndreiLux:
They are to their customers, but not to the end-user. The OEM is the legally liable entity in regards to providing things to the device user.

Basically what you're trying to do here is trying to get sources on behalf of the OEM. Good luck getting any proxy lawsuit going. It's the OEM you should try to go after.

How about you read clause 3a) of the license instead of talking tough?

As they are allowed to ask under GPL. Basically what they (MTK) are breaching (if true) is that they are allowing this sort of distribution to the OEMs themselves. Them having to pay or not for it is unimportant.
[Ornate TrueSmart] xboxfanj:
How do we know this? That's where I'm confused.
[Ornate TrueSmart] saratoga2:
This is probably wrong, but even so its still not legal for them to charge for source they do not own, at least in the developed world.

On a side note, this is probably why no OEM that sells in the US will dare use MT. No sense having a shipment of phones impounded when you can pay a little more for the same thing from Qualcomm without the risk of being held accountable for your supplier's transgressions.
[Ornate TrueSmart] AndreiLux:
It is absolutely correct; http://lists.osmocom.org/pipermail/baseband-devel/2011-February/001323.html

Yes it is absolutely legal for them to charge for it. Anybody can sell any GPL software if they wish to, as long as they adhere to the licenses' clauses.

What is not legal for them is to provide this supposed compilation service without giving their customers the source. However the liability does not chain through the OEM to the end-user. Only entity able to sue them is the OEM.
[Ornate TrueSmart] saratoga2:
You are mistaken. In the USA at least, selling software that you do not have a license for is not legal. Samsung, Qualcomm and other linux contributors who have had their code improperly taken would have standing to sue anyone foolish enough to use mediatek in a product.
