[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmark27:
$200 deductible. We dropped our TEP on all our phones and are saving $60 a month. Insurance (for sure TEP) is a sucker's game and it took me forever to figure that out. $200 deductible plus $13 a month for TEP over 24 months??? Just buy a N5 brand new and you've saved money. We now have 2x S3's as backup phones we're hanging on to since they were such good phones in case we have to send back to Samsung for repair.

Take a look at the Wells Fargo credit card protection: https://www.wellsfargo.com/credit-cards/features/cell-phone-protection/

It looks like pay your full bill for 3 months on their card and you are covered for no premium with a $25 deductible with a lot of small print. I just found out about it so I haven't hit my 3 months yet or made a claim to report my experience.

Well I just got a new M8 for free. Was past 14 days. Without T.E.P. He said it would have been $75.00

Broken screens might be different because that's not a manufacture warranty claim.

I had dropped buying T.E.P. as well for past few years until my M8 died and they said I still had time to add it and get replacement for free.

I use SquareTrade. Sprint TEP is simply too expensive.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krytoan:
Never have I thought about other insurance providers for the phone other than Asurion, but to cut the cost in half with others?

I've already had to pay a $200 deductible for a replacement, would be nice to not have to spend that much again...

Anyone already previously use companies like SquareTrade? What's your experience? Do they cover lost phones?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

First of all, what Galaxy S4 variant do you have? Also, what do you mean by Knox warranty? Do you have or do not the Knox bootloader? If you have, then maybe flashing a 4.2.2 ROM may not work. By the way, I've found the i9500 version in the OP of the OmegaROM thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40243592&postcount=5

I think you should search a little more before asking ;).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilh:
no... I have done a really serious search before asking

I9505

Don't you know what void warranty means? (hint - voiding the warranty on the device in a permanent way,here is great explanation)

Of course - If I have Omega 19V and want 4.2.2 based - you could assume that I don't have knox bootloader and want it to stay that way.

Please tell me if there is any more relevant info I forgot :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Thanks for sharing this info, now I may be able to assist you further :). Regarding the Knox, I was thinking you had the Knox bootloader somehow... I've searched a lot now, and can't seem to find it for GT-i9505, what makes me think if they still have it is that GT-i9500 still has the 4.2.2 ROM on the OP, while GT-i9505 doesn't show it, only 4.4.2 or 4.3. Did you try asking in the thread?

Maybe it's a little off topic, but why don't you flash a 4.4.2 rom that don't require the latest bootloader?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilh:
ohh, is there ?

wow, if i missed that thing....

can you point me to one(or few)?

thanks!(big thanks!)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Sorry, I've completely forgotten about this possibility! If you don't mind AOSP, you have the Google Edition ROMs and Cyanogenmod 11 ROMs (you can find them in Development Thread). When I still had a S4, I used to use CM11 without issues (no Knox bootloader) and dualbooted with a TW ROM (in my case Phoenix 4.3) for some TW features I liked hehe. But the best is for you to try ;). Most of AOSP/CM ROMs doesn't require the latest bootloader AFAIK.

Hello all,

I have a now redundant Holux Powered cradle and GPS receiver for sale if anyone's interested.

A bit of info:

http://www.totalgps.com/Holux-Powered-GPS-PDA-Mount-for-XDA-Series-I-Mate-Q-Tec-2020.aspx

I used it with my xda2s - I do NOT know if it works with other XDA's.

It powers your xda2s, and is a powered GPS receiver all in one. No more cables all over the place! It's offical name is Holux CR-100.

It cost me £90 but it's just taking up space here now so any reasonable offer will be considered.

It is in perfect condition, still with the box and all bits and docs.

HOWEVER!!!!! I had it hard wired to my car.......SO, either hard wire it to yours, or re-attach the cigarette bit, which I still have.

Payment via paypal please.

Any questions I'll be happy to answer.

Cheers

HPJ
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fa147:
I am interested, but why do you say redundant. Did you change your phone or was it made redundant due to a upgrade of some sort.

I live in London and need to know the price you want for it and if you dont live close, then how much shipping would be.

Thanks,

[Sony Xperia ZR] hesseny:
hey guys :)

plz can anyone help me to move my apps to SD card on my Sony ZR ?

thanks in advance :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] anthonythangaraj:
There is no direct way to move your apps to SD card.

You need to be rooted in order to move apps to SD. Use Folder mount or similar apps to move apps to SD
[Sony Xperia ZR] seriestv:
Hi

Im rooted and I know about FolderMount, but that doesnt move the app. How can I really move apps to external sd?

Thank you
[Sony Xperia ZR] RaMin!:
first you should root your phone,i recommend using towelroot.

once you gain root access you should partition your sdcard and add a second primary partiton with ext4 format(set your device's usb mode to mass storage mode and connect it to pc,using minitool partiton wizard is recommended.this way you wont lose data on your sdcard)

i have created a 4gb partiton on my 32gb microsd but you can choose the right partition size according to how much data you want to move(detailed info about the process described in the Link2SD thread)

then you can install Link2SD (free) from the link below,this app can move application file,dalvik-cache and library files.internal data such as downloaded game data can be moved but you need to buy the pro version(it's better to use FolderMount for moving internal data to avoid running out of free space in your microsd's second partiton).

[Sony Xperia ZR] lilloscar:
hello, I appreciate this, but something goes wrong with my xperia zr, I made the partition, then reboot, and start the Link2SD again, then it seems to work because it asked me to select the partition, the menu to select was like ext2, ext3, ext4, fat32, etc, then I choosed ext4.

immediately it asked to reboot, but now I have a constantly loop... do you know how can I fix this? thanks so much.
[Sony Xperia ZR] RaMin!:
Remove the microsd card and turn on your phone.go to settings>about phone tap several times on Build Number until it says You're a developer now.then go back to the settings>developer options and enable USB Debugging .

now in your pc go to http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/lb-definitive-root-remount-reboot-fix-t2317432

Download the windows installer,connect your phone to pc extract the zip file,run the installer and follow the on screen instructions.after finishing the install you can turn off your phone and insert your microsd card and turn off developer options in settings.:)
[Sony Xperia ZR] lilloscar:
I am thank full with your response, phone revived and semi working the link2sd app.

This message sound familiar to you?

If you have a PayPal account let me know to give you a tekila.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZR] RaMin!:
you're welcome :) our xperia zr does not support the Move to SD feature so when you tap an application in Link2SD and select Move to SD card you see errors.

so this is how you move apps to the second partition of your sdcard:

In Link2SD tap the application you want to move. then at the bottom of screen there is a Create Link button,tap it.

now you can choose the application items to move.you can check all of the available checkboxes or you can choose the ones you wish to move.

when you're finished click OK and Link2SD will link (or in other words move) the application files to sdcard.

if you want to unlink an application from sdcard,select Remove link in application page and Link2SD moves back the application files to internal storage of the phone.

you can always see the free space on the sdcard's second partition by taping Storage info in main window of Link2SD.

thank you bro but I don't have a PayPal account :highfive: let me know if you have any other questions
[Sony Xperia ZR] lilloscar:
I just select all the apps and then choose "create link" when the process finished my Xperia ZR just fly! I get the speed back.

I tried to unlock other features buying the app, but it didn't unlock, I try rebooting but the app stills the same.

Thanks again for your big help ?

I have a feeling because who my insurance is with itll be an unlocked, unlockable bootloader version as my insurance is through my bank who offer services with CPW (Who we know issue unlocked bootloaders etc)
[Xperia Z2 General] Don MC:
Or it's in deep enough water for the radio signal not to reach it. Or the battery can have gone flat faster because of the weak signal.

But good thing it's insured.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ken-Shi_Kun:
The phone is messed up like this compleatley. An other phones partitions flashed for the P is like a death sentence. (like flushing AB+ blood into an 0- patient).

If you are lucky enough a compleate restore could help your phone, altough I don't know if that is possible, if the phone can go into fastboot mode you have a chance. You need flashtool and a stock ftf for your phone. And luck, plenty of it.

JTAG can hard rewrite the NAND but if the NAND itself has errors, you don't stand a chance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tiestobunio:
Fast button not work .

In service in my city has say JTAG dont reconize my phone.. but i dont understand beacose on my phone is xperia s partitions and flashed 100% so just repleace files from xperia s to xperia p. i dont understand this. i should buy jtag then i know whats going on . any way thanks for your great answer ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ken-Shi_Kun:
Even if the partitions sizes are all ok, it is not certain, that the allocation will be, eveso some partitions held (yes, past now) essential information of the phone itself, like IMEI, MAC adresses etc. To recreate them is somewhere near impossible.

And even bootloader and things like those uses unique resources, based on the phone itself, which files are even needed for flashing the phone via flashtool, because the phone itself is not the same (like the CPU is STEricsson, and S used Qualcomm if I remember correct) so you flashed something to the phone that it couldn't recognize. It is dead. Hope for JTAG but I don't know that XP is supported or not.

[Sprint LG G2] Rabbiddog:
I am already on KK 4.4.2, but this morning I woke up and looked at my phone and the screen was on with a system message that the "Updated was completed successfully". However, there was no other info on what update was applied. Anyone else just get some kind of update? Not sure if it was firmware, or just some software update. It certainly didn't affect the KK version as that is all still listed as being the same.
[Sprint LG G2] EpicBarbecue:
One of your apps probably updated
[Sprint LG G2] Rabbiddog:
No it wasn't an app update. It was a system message popup like you get when a service force closes or a new OS update is ready to be installed. ;)
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Profile update maybe? Sprint RDF site is still at ZVC so I doubt it was a firmware update. I mean I could be wrong and it could be a limited test and you could have been a lucky winner.
[Sprint LG G2] Rabbiddog:
That's possible. I can't seem to find what was updated so maybe it was just some profile update or something similar, Maybe some updates to Sprint services they pushed out. Not sure at this point. Typically I only get the system update pop up when it's something like a firmware/profile/etc type of update. Normal app updates just show up in the status bar and don't give me a system pop up.

I just wish I knew what it was for.
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:

[Sprint LG G2] sturmen:
New update on the 31st

Where did you see that?
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
In one of the threads in the Sprint Forums.

Normally reps beat around the Bush, but in one of the threads complaining signal quality, a rep said May 31.

I'm guessing it's for the 3G/4G switching issues, and there was no mention of Knock Code though.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Yeah, um... never ... and I mean ever.... listen to service reps... lol.

There are numerous bugs since 4.4.2 released. Bluetooth reporting battery drain when off, LG backup is buggy, auto brightness still crappy, and.some other things.

The 3g/4g switching issues are network related. You can get all the updates in the world and until the network updates are finished its just something we have to live with. They could certainly disable band 26 and 41 on phones that dont have it in their area yet but we can do that ourselves so sprint wont bother.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
I was expecting a no reps comment lol, I definately agree but this time they gave a date which is a first lol, that's why I mentioned it.

I know about the eCFSB issues but there also seem to be issues in band selection, in areas where roll out is complete. You can disable bands, but seriously people like us on XDA are few and the majority of phone buyers dont understand all this stuff like why you cant have 4G and CDMA voice call at same time and about eCSFSB. Youll find most people complaing how old phones are better than G2 because the can call and surf at same time and that signal sucks on the G2, not understanding that the old phones were SVLTE and single LTE band.
