The micro USB port on my black 16gb X broke. I took it to my local brick & mortar Verizon store and they ordered a replacement device, no questions asked. They never asked to see any paperwork.

It sounds like you've got nothing to loose by trying the same thing?
[X 2014 General] godutch:
Ask the seller for the info. I think it's good Motorola doesn't accept warranty without this information because thiefs will not have this info, only people who honestly bought it...

(btw it's very stupid for a company to not honor warranty, within the normal warranty period, for owners after the first owner because this severly impacts resell price and thus selling price)
[X 2014 General] sxp123731:
You are correct.

Apple don't need proof of purchase for warranty, they have their own database based on IMEI/SN.

So if you purchase iPhone from Craigslist and it is still under warranty, Apple will still honor the warranty.

No Android OEM has this kind of customer service, not HTC/Motorola/Samsung/Google as far as I know.

I have read reports from some folks who successfully applied a small amount of glue under the peeled up wood, might be worth a try
[X 2014 General] jonnythan:
Um. This is standard operating procedure for most companies.
[X 2014 General] ragnarokx:
My Nexus S that I bought used off eBay needed a screen replacement, and Samsung did so - no questions asked. Great experience. I haven't had to deal with an OEM for warranty since.
[X 2014 General] jphilippon:
You can either remove the whole back and re glue it or just use a very fine felt brush to apply glue to the edge of wood. Worked for me. Sent mine back because a different corner peeled. [MENTION=3965058]dg4prez[/MENTION]
[X 2014 General] duckfart:
Fix it your self, It does suck they wont honor a product under warranty.

I know a lot of companies who follow this rule but there are many companies who don't.

I always try and buy product from companies who have exceptional customer service and warranties, its worth it, even if you pay a little more.
[X 2014 General] MustangFTW:
I bought a Moto X for a friend of mine, my card, my email, my delivery address. He broke his screen a week later, he called them up and they asked him to send it in, charged him $120 for a new screen and sent him back a new phone, he never needes the order number or anything.

Last week i tore the leather on my moto x, called motorola, they asked for order number, email, address, charged me $25 and sent me a new phone and i will be sending back the one that has the torn back.

Guess it depends on who you speak with.

Also, as was mentioned earlier Apple warranties extend to any owner of the phone, since their proof of purchase comes up when the IMEI/SN is entered (you can even check warranty status on their website)

Only company that got close to this is samsung, i used to work in a cellphone shop and wed brick ALOT of phones testing things out, including note 3, s5 etc and samsung out always unbrick them for free even though we were not the original buyers.
[X 2014 General] piskr:
That rule definitely would't survive here in Europe. No matter either written or not. It's against consumer protection regulations. And what is even more weird is that the provision is in direct conflict with freedom of contract principle. Neither state nor any third party could interfere with the contract without clear legal basis. Warranty refers to the sold good not to the person who bought it.
[X 2014 General] RonnieRuff:
Companies warranty to the original purchaser except if it is a gift. Did you register the device with them or did the original purchaser?
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
I see nothing wrong here. As far as I know, Apple is the only electronics company whose warranty is transferable.
[Samsung Gear VR] joexda75:
Well ,

It seems after this so-called Gear VR "Innovator Edition" which has yet to launch somewhere.

Samsung is already planning to have another GEAR VR model .

Will it be another model for the next Galaxy S6 or any another Samsung Phone or will it be an improved model with microsd card slot?Positional Tracking?Improved ergonomics?Hdmi input?

The later is definitely missing on this first Gear VR.

With a price of 200$ i ll certainly hope they will not release a new version every 3 or 6 months

but keep working on First Gear VR and provide decent streaming capabilites.
[Samsung Gear VR] Screensaver.tv:
I agree... if this was a $49 or $99 headset that allowed the use of the phones we already (might) own, then that is one thing. But at $200, knowing the Note 5 may go 4K display and 6", not going to plunk down 2 bills now and 2 bills later, at that point Oculus Rift is the better call.

Who knows, maybe Google cardboard is the way to go, buy a new phone, get some new cardboard, lol Gear VR seems useful at a much lower price if they do not intend for compatibility with newer phones year after year
[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
There is already positional tracking for the Gear VR/Note 4 with the STEM pack and STEM controller.. And why would the Gear VR itself need a micro SD slot when the phones comes with one. It takes you 10 seconds to get the Note 4 out, another 5 seconds to remove the back, another 10 seconds to insert it and put the cover back on and another 10 seconds to put the Note back into the Gear VR. That's like 40 seconds to change an SD card which you probably won't do every day, is not bad.

I think that the Gear VR will improve every 6 months with the release of the Galaxy S and Note line. WIth the S6 there could be inside out positional tracking, with the Note 5 there can be 4K screen, with the S7 there can be Eye tracking and so on. All Gear VR versions will have access to the already available games but the newer devices might have extra options like higher res or extra positional tracking.

If the Gear VR casing can also be used with the later phones i'm not sure tho. I can imagine that there will be a new Gear VR consumer version comming along the S6. Unless the S6 comes with the Google Glass competitor Gear Blink and the Note 5 comes with the consumer Gear VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] joexda75:
Yeah you would be right for the STEM controller but it seems a little cumbersome to use ...also i won't be surprised it it would cost twice the price of the Gear VR.

The term "Innovator Edition" baffles me...i hope it wil be for the best...but the gear vr from what i have seen so far looks much more like a CV1 than the Dev Kit 2 from Oculus .

As for the lack of microsd card, it is yes quite dispensable but i have a bunch of sd card so it would have been a little more convenient for me not have to remove the phone to swap cards!

Finally for the oculus cinema mode ...i am almost certain there won't be any audio support for AC-3 codecs...

An add-on purchase or third party support codec would be really neat! so we do not have to reencode videos.

I have just updated MX Player and they have removed it
[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
The STEM controller you dont need to use or buy one, only if you want an additional hand/Sword, ect in your VR environment. The STEM pack is important tho, which will be attached to the Gear VR itself and does the positional tracking of your head. But i agree the STEM products seem to cost a bit of money.

STEM pack 100$ + STEM Base 100$ (generally needed) = 200$ + shipping

http://store.sixense.com/collections/all

Yeh it's a pitty that AC-3 codec gets removed probably because of high licensing costs. The BS Player should still support it tho and i also hope that there will be a solution for VR cinema, if the oculus cinema won't support it, maybe another VR cinema of another developer (maybe the BS VR player ;D) will.
[Samsung Gear VR] joexda75:
Thanks for the link...I understand it attaches to Gear VR for positional viewing...

Well it 's cool to see third party taking care of this problem and i Just hope someone makes a kinect version for this

check this

[Droid RAZR M General] Dr. Mario:
Seriously...? And what bootloader is supported?
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
The 3.4 kernel indicates KKBL, but I don't know if anyone is or will be working on a JBBL version.
[Droid RAZR M General] Dr. Mario:
Ouch... Still it's possible to get Linux v. 3.4 kernel to work with Jelly Beans bootloader, just takes a bit work in figuring out how to make it work. I didn't like Kit Kat bootloader, too much problems.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
You have to realize people are probably going to stop supporting JB at some point.
[Droid RAZR M General] Dr. Mario:
Well, still. I was put off by the Kit Kat bugs, and I wouldn't want it to happen again, I had to replace the battery due to slow thermal damage (the phone obviously ran too hot - I noticed the damage was already done by the time I downgraded my RAZR M back to Jelly Beans in order to run cooler, I tried calibrating it, the runtime nosedove).

Looks like at least a test version of CM12 is out
[Droid RAZR M General] dbreezy187:
Yeah its over here no idea if it boots if it will flash or what gapps to use... flash at your own risk

Edit... Maybe these Gapps

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.
[Droid RAZR M General] Shefczenko:
So I've downloaded it and flashed it, while flashing it returned an error with mounting something regarding msm8960 in /data but in the end it said that flashing is done. The ROM doesn't boot on my phone, it's possible that I did something wrong I was in school when I tried it.
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
How long did you wait for it to boot? I know when I flashed Lollipop on my Galaxy Nexus, it took forever..... to boot.

EDIT:

On CM12 Test build the sim card doesn't work. Nevermind got working. I wiped everything + formatted data, then I pulled my sim then re-inserted it.
[Droid RAZR M General] jdb3654:
Thanks Attack. Care to comment on what works and what does not?
[Droid RAZR M General] Shefczenko:
About 15 minutes, guess that wasn't long enough. Gonna test it again later in the evening and I wíll report back on how it went.
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
So far, everything seems to work. WiFi, Data, Sms (idk Mms) and GPS (after mfastbooting these commands)

mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
Yeah... 15 mins. is a bit to long, but you should see around 2 - 5 mins on first boot.
[Droid RAZR M General] Dr. Mario:
Agreeable. 15 minutes are a tad too long.... ART typically take a good while recompiling the apps on the first boot but I am surprised that it took so long.

Anyways, know of any good Kit Kat ROM that doesn't have overheating problems? I might flash the bootloader and jump to Lollipop at some point.
[Droid RAZR M General] Shefczenko:
'Kay, so I've downloaded the files again, installed it and the system came up right away (~3 minutes) so I have no idea what I did wrong in the morning. Nevermind that the system is working perfectly, smooth, fast and fully working. I actually didn't though that first build will be daily driver quality, the only thing I noticed is bit buggy animation when closing apps but that is minor thing. I will test battery life tomorrow.
[Droid RAZR M General] seasonone:
Only problems I've seen so far is the video on YouTube doesn't work and the compass icon won't go away at least for me but it looks like it could a dd.
[Droid RAZR M General] thewraith420:
I just installed lp, first impressions are good everything seem to work and is mostly smooth and snappy.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
I'm seeing a few posts and qquestions about this with the latest Lollipop release being upon us.

There are several issues here and I wanted to write a quick note aboyut them both for you

1) You cannot SEE your /sdcard data after updating to lollipop

Cause:

Some strange difference between L and KK, where /storage/emulated and /data/media are not "alligned"

Fix:

Open a terminal emulator application and enter the following 2 line command (Press enter after each line)

su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Reboot

2) You have lost permissions to /sdcard

Cause:

You restored all your sdcard data using adb push or MTP whilst booted into recovery. IT screws up your permissions. These methods are fine for single files or backups that you waant to flash or restore, but as soon as you start pushing folders, this issue will be seen

Fix:

In a root explorer app, browse to /data/media/0 and locate your Download folder. Set the permissions for all on Download to read / write (Long press the Download folder > permissions)

Download and flash THIS ZIP from the thread below.

[TOOLS][ZIPS][SCRIPTS] osm0sis' Odds and Ends [Multiple Devices/Platforms] (by [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION])

You can also download the zip to a computer and adb push it / MTP via recovery

3) 32 GB device shows the storage of 16 GB version

Cause:

Unknown. This has actually been happening since the Nexus 5 was released

Fix:

Wipe cache and data

4) TWRP backups are missing

Cause:

This is really unknown. We're not even sure that this can be fixed. Some say its a TWRP bug but that cannot be proven.

Sometimes backup folder is empty....

Fix:

Multiple things you can try. Some have to use restorecon command but usually that has to be done after every backup.

Others have just flashed the factory images

Some of us have never had issues so its hard to call it a bug, but there is definitely something funky going on here.

Other times, backups shows as an unknown file type, 0bytes in size. I haven't a specific fix as I have had no feedback from anyone who has fixed it. You could try deleting that unknown file then running the fix above.

Also, please update to TWRP 2.8.3.0

5) All I see in /sdcard is 0 folder

Cause:

Well known issue on /data/media/0 devices - which is the location of the /sdcard. Unsure of the cause on Nexus 5 though

Fix:

/sdcard is in /data/media/0. If you see a 0 folder in /sdcard, you're actually seeing /data/media/0/0.

To fix, just move /data/media/0/0/* to /data/media/0
[Nexus 5 General] alen1901:
I updated without a problem. Be sure to update to latest SDK and to wipe sdcard, eg. clean install.

Sent from Pure Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Yep, the first issue is fine if you wipe your /sdcard.

The second one is caused by restoring your sdcard afterwards
[Nexus 5 General] Mairo:
I have used always Mixplorer and now after flashing 5.0 I cant see nothing under /root. Why so? Something with root permissions? everything else is ok. ( I want to modify build.prop a little )

do I need use some other file explorer?
[Nexus 5 General] BritSwedeGuy:
restorecon -FR /data/media/0 fixed a problem I had with a bad TWRP folder on my Nexus 10 - many thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] alen1901:
I restored everything except data and android folders back to sdcard, i even restored obb files and no problems at all. It is the best practice for users to restore only their data, not the ones android creates itself. Im sure most people just selects everything and transfer to pc/stick, then copy everything back.

[Nexus 5 General] the_rebel:
Thanks dude. I wish I had this information this morning - would've saved me a lot of sweat.
[Nexus 5 General] vnvman:
I'm facing some serious issues today with this.

At first I encountered the issue when installing the flashable update. The OP suggested to execute few command lines in a terminal emulator, but it would only have worked if you rooted your device with cfroot. So I tried to re-root with cfroot with no luck: it kept saying already unlocked. At this point in the settings said I had 3/3 free gigs of storage. Out of desperation I tried to flash every single part of the stock image via fastboot, and re-do the procedure with cfroot and all. However after doing all of that I ended up with 12/12 free gigs, which is what I'm left with right now. I also tried to fix the permissions either with the root explorer app and by flashing the the provided fix, but nothing has happened. No traces of either Titanium backups or whatever files I had before on my storage, it's basically like a new phone with a blank 12 gb storage (keep in mind I have the 32 gb version). I really don't know what to do at this point anymore. Have I by any mean flashed the partitions of a 16 gb variant or something? Will I ever be able to get my storage back? Any help wuld be much appreciated.

Update: apparently I also flashed userdata so my phone believed to be a 16 gb unit. A data wipe fixed it. Obviously my storage is gone but that's my bad, I'll be more careful before udating next time.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Yeah that's a different but common issue.
[Nexus 5 General] aoaleman:
Thank you, rootSU. This fixed my issue. :D
[Nexus 5 General] hi5rich:
So I have tried the fixes and all of my files are still in sdcard/0 and not just sdcard... Any help I can't figure this out?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Move them manually.
[Nexus 5 General] tomp100:
Tried the first solution as it seems to be my issue, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Please explain your issue.
[Nexus 5 General] RVDigital:
Hey thanks for this post. I've been through this issue like 3 times and keep forgetting about restorecon.

On that note, I was getting the following output:

The fix appears to work without the "F" flag. Do you know why this is not a valid flag?

According to a general rundown of restorecon, the "F" flag does the following:
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Not sure but glancing at the Dev preview thread, some had success with this:

restorecon -r /data/media/0/*
[Nexus 5 General] vaindil:
Tried both, all that happened is that /sdcard is now blank. /data/media/0 still lists all of the files, but /sdcard itself is empty or unlinked or something. I unfortunately don't know which of the two steps did it.
[Nexus 5 General] krazeecracker:
Quick question, I'm currently on slimkat and plan on clean flashing tonight via bigxies ROM. With this method of fixing the SD card, I won't lose all my data as far as downloads, pictures, etc.?
[Nexus 5 General] tomp100:
Essentially, the phone doesn't think it has an SD card. When i click on SD card in root browser, it is empty. Items that were on the SD card in 4.4.4 are now located in data/media/0/0 , and I am unable to move these items to SD. Also, if I try to dowload sonething off the internet, I get a "no SD card" message.
[Nexus 5 General] RVDigital:
I can confirm that my issues were caused by importing my backed up /SDCard/ data via an "adb push" while in recovery.

If doing the same while the phone is booted into system, permissions are set appropriately and no further action is required.

Thanks again for this post!
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
If you did restorecon, try instead manually moving everything from /data/media/0/0 to /data/media/0 then run it again
[Nexus 5 General] Mairo:
I used Your method in first post to get back /root folder, but now also sdcard is blank. Using root explorer under data/media/0 I see everything.

I used flash-all.bat actually, whan I flashed 5.0 and I dont restored my Scard info . I just copied some files in some folders.

Edit: I just I gave up and flashed rom again. And I flashed Mixplorer again and now I see all files, even root files, but, of course, I cant change nothing ther whitout root. So looks like cf-autoroot cause this sd card anomaly after clean image flash and then rooting with cf.

I wait when someone made root option whitout any storage problems.

or is this helpful, after using cf-autoroot?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
You'll need pie patch if you use cf auto. IMHO best just to flash permissive boot.img and be done with it.
[Nexus 5 General] Mairo:
yep. I got it to work. first I flashed TWRP with fastboot, then I flash permissive boot.img, then beta SU 2.19 and now everything is ok with storage. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] hollisnh:
Thanks!

this explains why I wasnt able to see my TWRP backup under /sdcard

use the fix #1 and walla there it is!
[Nexus 5 General] tomp100:
Tried moving it, which was successful, but get an error message that says "restorecon is not a valid option".
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Please share the exact steps taken.

[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Did you put a space between -FR and /data?

The error doesn't like it and that may be it. There must be a space.
[Nexus 5 General] tomp100:
Also attempted this alternate command:

restorecon -r /data/media/0/* and receive this message:

SeLinux: loaded file_contexts from /file_contexts

SeLinux: could not stat /data/media/0: permission denied

Yeah I forgot the space, but when I corrected it, I recieve the same "permission denied" error as described in post #31.
[Nexus 5 General] lwclam:
Thanks for the information.

But if I backup my photos to my PC and copy back the photos, all timestamps are changed. Is there any method to reserve the timestamps when copying back the photos?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Maybe you also need to.flash the permission fix zip.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
No I don't think so.
[Nexus 5 General] tomp100:
It looks that way. Without sd card access, how do I get the zip onto the device to flash it in recovery?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
As I describe in post 1
[Nexus 5 General] sushdroid:
When I restore ringtones/pictures back after flashing, it is not shown in the settings/photos app. But all files are visible in /sdcard. Will either of the two mentioned cases solve this issue?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
I don't think so. I presume you can add more.files there? If so.there's no.permissions issue. Maybe just waiting for media scanner to do its thing.
[Nexus 5 General] j831:
Wait, so if I used cf-autoroot I should get the pie patch? What exactly does the patch do? My sd card problem *seems* to be fixed after moving everything back to /sdcard and using the terminal command, but I'm not 100% sure.

Or would it be better for me to flash permissive boot.img and then push SuperSU?
[Nexus 5 General] Aerowinder:
I did a full wipe after updating to 5.0 (sdcard included), and I had disparities between /data/media and /sdcard. TWRP was putting files in /data/media, but it wasn't showing on /sdcard. I think this is a Google bug, this should not have happened.

Your tip fixed it, thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] tomp100:
I changed the permissions of the download folder as you instructed, but I cannot successfully download the zip. Any thing else I need to set to get the download?
