Worth ave...

Thanks for the tip. Will check them out.

Was thinking about Samsungs premum care insurance ..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
I just looked at the Squaretrade and it does not cover loss/theft. Also, it's unclear what happens if you crack the screen or the back and they don't have replacement parts. I seriously doubt they have replacement screens for N8 at this point. Will they cover buying a new device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
For the first time ever I accepted the sales outlets insurance. 12.00€ per month. All risks so I am told BUT I have every confidence should I need to make a claim there will be the normal insurance situations?

As you wrote this is an expensive mobile device that is large and could be dropped. I think insurance is worth it in this case.

I suggest you enquire at the outlet you made your purchase. Failing that what about approaching the same company who insures your home or car or whatever? The only other thing I would mention is there is no such thing as cheap, good, insurance. Use a reputable company. Let us know what you find. :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fireguy0306:
It does not cover theft. Honestly the phone never leaves my side and if I get it stolen from me its fairly useless to anybody.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Squaretrade is the best bang for your buck.

Look for 20 to 30 percent off coupons.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gimmezell:
Bump for more opinions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] advocate2:
Thanks for the input. I ended up choosing Squaretrade. It cost $159 for three years of coverage which covers the N8 and a new phone when I buy it. They are having a special right now. The deductible is $99. I've never lost a phone, so I decided damage protection is all I really need.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] marctronixx:
Variables...

Depends on your usage and how often you switch phones.

I'm on this two jump thingy. All i need is a year of phone coverage. With the wort have group, that 1 year is like 80 bux i think? I dont plan to use it because i am not clumsy like some people.

But if you plan to keep this device longer than a year, then square trade is the first option I'd pick.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
I am going to go with samsung, having an unlocked phone both AT&T and Verizon said they would not offer me insurance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nicholb:
If you bank with Wells Fargo you can get $600 of phone insurance with a $25 deductible by just paying your phone bill with their Visa card. That's enough to cover a broken screen. I've used it once and it worked out well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krazieboy:
sadly, i can't find any working coupons =\
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fireguy0306:
Wish I had found ones that actually worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] fastbatterycharger:
I purchased squaretrade. they have been around about as long as ebay has. I found this post and it had some great information about phone insurance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jejb:
I also went with Squaretrade. I have never lost a phone or had one stolen (knock on wood and all of that), so I'm not too worried about that. They were nice enough to refund me the entire price of the Squaretrade plan I had on my S7E, since I'd never used it in the 10.5 months I've had it on their plan. So the cost of a 2 year policy for the Note 8 is only like $50 net.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
Squaretrade seems to be the most reasonably safe option at the moment. The damage protection alone is really what's the most logical coverage for most users. Especially for accident-prone users.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pyraxiate:
I'm using the T-Mobile jump warranty plan. It lets me swap the phone out entirely as long as I've paid half the value so I can always have a new model. I think it's a 150 deductible for damage. Covers loss or theft too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] psixichka:

If your from US then i will suggest you Everything Breaks mobile insurance plans. Everything Breaks Samsung galaxy warranty and protection plan covers malfunctions and other repairs necessary to return your smartphone to its intended functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BigMosley:
Never heard of EverythingBreaks but upon comparing the 2 year price and deductible against SquareTrade I would also concur it is a better deal. Both the 2 year price and deductible is cheaper

BUT

my only concern is I have never heard of this company nor can I find any reviews online for them. With that said, I would rather stick with SquareTrade because they are tried and true and when/if my device breaks I don't want any issues with getting a replacement and be a guinea pig for this new company.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arisend:
The title is pretty self-explanatory, what should I do if I want to restore or reinstall Amazon photos? Can I get the APK from somewhere and reinstall it or is there a command I can use to make it reappear?

I really dont want to factory reset and apps like Pushbullet have stopped working after removing the bloatware with the updated fire utility so I want to see if I can get it working again. It seems that the only way to change my lockscreen is through that application too so I'm trying to get it back.

Hey guys,

I'm having an interesting problem that i cant seem to find the answer for.

My Jasjam will be fine for about a week or a few days (varies though), then funny things start to happen. one time it was java stopped working in PocketIE, another time the 'Incoming Call' popup got stuck on the screen, Media Player wouldn't load etc

so i end up soft resetting it with the stylus.

however, the phone hangs on the HTC logo after the screen goes bright and then dim again.

a hard reset gets the phone to boot again (of course with all messages, contacts, etc gone since the last backup).

it'll be fine for another week or so, and then the same thing happens again.

I have tried black satin (when it first started doing it), then moved to Pays Rom (1.23), then Pays (2.x) and now 3.x and still the same problem.

any ideas? it's starting to come a problem as i'm loosing recently added appointments, messages, contacts, even though i've got the phone backing up to my SD card every day.

Thanks

quite possible you might have bad blocks.

install hardspl first...then run mtty and use 'info 8' to see if theres bad blocks.

run 'task 2a' to attempt to fix them...theres usually 3 there which is normal.

a command like 'task 28' or 'task 28 55aa'?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] veggies333:
While flashing the phone through odin the phone failed on the system image. The firmware file is valid as it has been flashed previously with success. when the phone was rebooted again in download mode the PC will chime as if it can detect the phone at the warning screen although it isnt seen in device manager. as soon as I press Vol+ to continue the computer will say that the phone is an unknown device. No phone is present in device manager still and no error code returned to see what may be causing the connection issue. Along with that the smart switch screen appears rather then showing the usual screen that says Downloading.

No access to recovery or anything else as the phone immetiatly shows the smartswitch screen. When booted normaly the smartswitch screen is also accompanied by no response via usb to show connection not even the previously mentioned Unknown device error to indicate that the computer is even noticing a usb connection at all. All drivers are current.

Hello guys,

I have a Huawei Honor 5C with Nougat. I'd like to know if it's possible to use my phone as an hotspot for my wifi connection. What I mean is, that I don't want to setup my phone as hotspot to share my 3G/4G connection, what I Need to share is the connection that I have at home. Soo, in simply words:

Router gives connection to my phone via wifi -> my phone gives that connection to other devices as hotspot

Is there a way? I hope you can answer me

Qustion 1:

From time to time, I lose connection to my WiFi. When I check on it, it says that it failed to obtain an IP address. If I click on it again, it connects fine. Anyone has this issue?

I came from an iPhone 6sPlus and Android phones before that. Never had this type of issues. I have an AC2600 Mu-Mimo router made by TP-Link.

Question 2:

I noticed that the WiFi symbol on the Note 8 is the typical WiFi symbol, but with a circle toward the right side. What is this? What does it mean? (it changes from a regular symbol to this symbol with a circle).

Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] de2000:
Thanks for the responses guys. For the symbol part, after I took a screenshot and zoomed in, it actually is a wifi symbol with a + . LOL I have bad eyes. So, I Google that and it means Wifi Calling is enabled... I have AT&T.

As far as the not able to obtain an IP address, I've already rebooted the router to no avail. It doesn't happen all the time. So, I still need to figure that one out.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michele.7:
Hello everyone. I hope someone read this post and can help me solve the problem. I'm going crazy to change the icons of the navigation bar in my Tab 2 Gtp-3110 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2). The device is rooted, with the exposed and the busybox installed. I tried many tutorial on the web (and XDA) but none of them was functional. Below my experiences:

-SYSTEMUI ICONS (systemui.apk editor): although I have assigned a new personal icon (30x30 32bit png) from the gallery to the existing one,nothing is changed at the next reboot

-Android L Navigation Bar.apk (aka lollipop navbar): After activating the xposed module and modifying the build.prop as suggested, nothing is changed at the next reboot and the navbar icons remain those of the stock firmware

-xstana: it works but navbar icons are all moved to the right and side by side (without spacing from the icons)

-Ultimate Dynamic Navbar: it works, but it's an extra service (about 10 mb) and it's not a real alternative to modify the navbar (otherwise the icons are not customizable and you can only choose those available from the app)

Now I'm trying to modify directly the systemUI.apk but I can not figure out which icons I have to replace. Can you give me a hand?

i am also black X7500 but no luck with any action to "wake" MD up again:mad:

i can tell more detail , before the MD dead, the System will be slow down,and infinity loading when loading data in MD

after reset, Never can found the MD with any try,

all with no luck:(

i have open the athena and take out the MD,

i will try to use zif to IDE ,try to see is the Md problem or not

P.S you can read " 32Gb athena " post in athena upgrade Part,

i am also working at that and seems upgrade to 16/32GB SSD will be better than fix the useless MD.........always sucks!i have lost many things in there..

forgot to tell , after DEAD, the MD is still with Noise when boot up, but after that, Still DEAD~lol
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
It looks likeyou should solve the problem with your ROM update first then the microdrive.

Can you still go to the bootloader? (Hold down the camera button then poke into the reset hole until you see the three colors). Before that, take out your sim card and SD card.When at the bootloader, connect the usb cable and run the rom update utility of your original ROM. You should see the percentage completion bar,and should wait will it's 100% done. Then, follow the prompt to configure the device. When done,check your microdrive and see if it's working.

Good luck, and let's see what happen when you try that.

Hello my dear friends :

Many thanks for your guides

I upgrade my WM5 to WM6 but my problem didn't solve .

I sent my phone to registered servicer and the told me the MD didn't have any problem and may be the problem caused because of FLAT ! I don't know what is that , and the servicer told me if Flat is not damaged , the problem caused by MOTHERBOARD ... :-(

Please help me and tell me is that true or not ?

how much is a 16 G or 32G drive ? is it faster than current micro drive ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
If the mother board is faulty, they should replace your unit free of charge. May be they mean FAT table?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rezam:
Please se the next post I can't delete this one
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rezam:
Many thanks dear eaglesteve :

I think that the FLAT is a part that like IDE cable connect Micro Drive to MotherBoard .

Is that a law in your country ? Is that mean if my Unit motherboard damaged they HAVE to change my unit ?

Would you please ask this question from your HTC registered servicer ?

I can't contact with them because of my very bad english :-(

Many thanks for your guide.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
If it is still under warranty, and I assume yours is since you're so new to this device, then they would have to make good the defect. They may choose to replace just the motherboard or the entire unit - it's up to them. This is the policy we should be able to expect from any decent manufacturer, and I believe HTC would have uniform policy on this.

Where did you buy it from?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] rezam:
Dear eaglesteve :

Many thanks for your quick answer

I bought it from IRAN , but a registered seller that registered in HTC.com and I found the address from HTC site .

Now my unit is still in warranty until

6/30/2007 ~ 9/30/2008

Please if it possible help me what can I have to do ?

Many thanks me dear friend
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Do you have an HTC service centre ? If yes,bring your unit back to them and ask them to fix it for you. Since you're still under warranty,there should be no charge for replacing the mother board.

I'm not familiar with the business practice in Iran, but I assume a warranty is a warranty,by matter which country you're in.
