[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohspaceman:
If you needed to take the serious route, you could try to explain the idea to such plebian fools :P

Just tell them that phones, much like your computer, run on a specific operating system. All you're doing is just putting a new operating system on your phone, one that is perhaps faster, or more stable, or prettier, or more feature-packed, or all of the above. Sorta like moving from Windows to Linux (substitute your OSes of choice there), I suppose.

Or just take the simplistic approach and say:

"I ****ed with a bunch of stuff I probably wasn't supposed to **** with and now my phone does things it was never intended to do."

Etc, etc.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tawm:
Haha, anyone I mention rooting to, or Jailbreaking iPods/iPhones, decide they don't want to when they realise their warranty will be void :p
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:
haha yeah as soon as they hear no support and brick they run. :D keeps the noobs away for the most part. I myself researched rooting for 5 months before diving in.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tawm:
Haha, as soon as I learn how to ill dive straight in! Probably not a great idea actually... but oh well :p

You should explain to them that there is only a couple of chances you actually get to brick their phones, after that it's plane sailing :cool:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:
yeah but for the football player kind of guy, once you explain recovery and everything they just say that's too damn complicated
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend221:
Its easy just tell them its like the new Windows 7 or Apple OS on your phone.

I've actually referred some G1 owners to people that charge to root and install the Rom for them and they are scared. Hahaha.

I tell them those people to keep their normal boring G1s. I like to make mine special on a regular basis.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
1) It does NOT void your warranty. It only voids your SOFTWARE warranty. (because they don't know what is on it and therefore are too dumb to support it). It is legally stipulated that modification can NOT void a warranty unless there is a provable link between the modification and the failure. In other words, if you put chrome rims and a spoiler on your car and then smoke comes out of the radio, it is still covered by the warranty.

2) There is nothing illegal about it, so no need to worry about talking about it. But note: The inferior masses who don't understand the technical stuff wouldn't benefit from any kind of explanation about what you did. By all means, go for the geek talk with other dweebs, but you should NEVER bring the geek stuff up with a girl -- its a great way to repel her. In fact, don't focus on the phone at all, you should be focused exclusively on her boobs.

Just a little more into #1... you should never root someone else's phone, because then YOU are the software warranty. Anyone who CAN deal with root and modifications is already more qualified to support the software end of things than the "technical support" idiots, so software warranty is irrelevant.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohspaceman:
Sooo I'm not all too sure what you're asking here -

How to explain the idea of rooting to your archetypal 'football guy'?

Oh boyo. Good luck with that. I think the operating system approach is the closest analogue they'll understand - that covers the what. But as to how... then it gets tough. It's not exactly laymen-friendly all the time :P. I've tried to explain it to my friend, who has a mytouch, she sortaaa got it, but it took some time.

"I'm a nerd, I have a lot of patience and some magical techno-voodoo" May allay things for awhile, I dunno.

Sorry, I'll quite with the sarcasm :P

SO if you're still looking for an answer -

What, precisely, are you asking?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
Ive had people ask me what root is. The easiest way to explain was "It gives me access to the inside of the system to hack like overclocking, changing the firmware, upgrades, themes, and some other cool stuff."
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:
haha yeah I'm not really considered a nerd at school. Kind of my little secret :p my question was basically how do you explain what root is to technologically illiterate people. :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
You don't. We only know because we are meant to know. :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
I just jumped without looking at what I was jumping to.

Once you go root, you dont wanna go back lol.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
Agreed :cool:
[neoTouch S200 General] jackal992:
Hi, according to all you, is there an app that increases the sound quality (not only volume) but above all bass for our Neotouch? For example, for HTC devices there is SRS WOW HD (i tried to install it but later audio and bluetooth stopped working even if i followed the instructions about modify "olddriver" in registry........, fortunately i unistalled and all come back working)? Is there a similar app for our device?

Thank you very much (and sorry for my bad english)

PS: a small curiosity: which virtual java machine do you use on Acer, if you use one?
[neoTouch S200 General] tsamolotoff:
1. It's not for HTC devices, it's just an application...

2. There're several packages that do ... huh, partially work... But there're sleep issues on S200.

3. It's a matter of personal preference, whether to count this application as 'quality enhancer', but as for me, it's a sound distortion crapware... I would rather prefer better HF spectre...

As for Java, I use some modded jbed dated back to 2008, but the only java application I use is Opera Mini...
[neoTouch S200 General] Arto:
I'm interested too for a srs cab with no wake up issue on the acer s200 or another equalizer, if anyone found something...?
[neoTouch S200 General] zsoft:
Too interests wow hd for acer s200...

It works for me perfectly, but the small animal if falls asleep, all will not wake up (...

Output while the such: I include before music listening (in customisations srs wow, I put a daw to use the driver), I include a player, I listen (it is possible to disable easy through a player the screen, the small animal will not fall asleep)... After listening, in options I switch off wow hd, not conveniently, but the sound is worthy of it...

All hope of the guru which can customise somehow wow hd under ours acer) :rolleyes:

Excuse for bad English
[neoTouch S200 General] Arto:
I found that, its not very usuable but better than nothing :p

you will see a menu on the app wich show you "pcm session", that works only with it
[neoTouch S200 General] zsoft:
Too it is not bad possible to twist a sound (and it becomes loud also basses), but not all toddlers are displayed, on it it is heavy to customise a sound (more precisely normally not to customise in general) and as I have understood customisations are not saved

Update:

Has added eq in programs, through Gravity Sensor has customised, now it is possible to twist also all it is visible in landscape a mode)

sorry for my bad english (
[neoTouch S200 General] Alplow:
Hi Arto,

Had been using your customs rom 1.8 version. I must say you are doing a very good job! Loving it! Anyway, jus want to let you know I had accidentally found the SRS WOW for HD2. I installed it to your customs rom and was working perfectly! No wake up issues or anything!! Anyway, no wake up issues for me on the 1.8 version even before I install the SRS WOW...

Keep up the good work!
[neoTouch S200 General] Arto:
HU you are very lucky, I don't know how it is possible but I will try to see if a get it working too thx man ;)

[Networking] DeepDay:
Hi,

I've an email account which I can access only with a client side cert. With a desktop application like Thunderbird, it is no problem. I just import the .p12 file, go to account settings->security and selecting the imported certs. Works perfectly.

BUT..

on Windows Mobile, I've imported this .p12 file just by clicking on it, and I can see it in settings->system->certificates, but I don't know how to tell poutlook to use this cert.

Is there a way to tell this to poutlook at all? Or if not, is there another email client that can handle client side cert?

thx.

[Nexus One General] Deano1889:
I've had the Nexus since it's release last month and noticed some dust particles under the screen at the bottom left had corner.

After searching and reading a few thread on XDA and other forums it's clear that i'm not alone and the problem has become a lot worse over the past week with a cluster of dust gathering in the corner and a lovely sprinkling of dust across the whole bottom of the screen.

Now i've spoken to HTC UK on the phone who have arranged to collect the unit with a turn around time of 5 working days. All well and good however... I've rooted and updated the ROM to Cyanogen's 5.0.2. Now I understand that this voids your warranty so wondered what to expect one the HTC guys get a hold of the phone and figure this out? :confused:
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
You should post this question in one of the other dust/warranty threads (I suggest mine). Anyway, I'd flash back to stock ROM if I were you, and then cross your fingers.
[Nexus One General] Carloswithac:
I sent mine back in with an unlocked bootloader for the dust issue. They exchanged it with no issues.
[Nexus One General] Deano1889:
Ok so you'll have guessed my next question already.

Does flashing back to stock ROM remove any sign of it ever been flashed? e.g. remove the lock icon on bootup? and where would I fijnd the stock ROM?
[Nexus One General] Deano1889:
Great news? What was the turn around time? I'm not sure how the hell i'm going to cope without my Nexus for anything up to 7 working days!?!?
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
Maybe because it's just a hardware and no software issue :)

If you got a software issue and you're rooted: no replacement
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Nope... no way to relock the bootloader atm. The padlock will still show if they turn it on. So far they've been good about replacing phones with the dust under warranty (I'm assuming because it's prevalent enough). But technically they could deny a warranty claim according to their warranty provisions.
[Nexus One General] urfavoriteemo:
Still on topic about warranties and dust....

I called in, they said they would do a swap.

Do I have to send in the phone AND accessories, or just the phone?

:confused:

-Please dont be the accessories...Headphones broke, lost the sleeve..-

Edit- I didn't tell them my bootloader was unlocked, haven't authorized the card yet, either. I'm waiting until tomorrow.

Will they deny my warranty claim?

Some people say they will, others say they won't!

its very confusing...
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Its usually always just the phone. I know with tmobile, they make you even take out the battery sd card and sim card.
[Nexus One General] urfavoriteemo:
Oh, that's very nice to know.

I just noticed the dust problem about two weeks ago -_-

I was thinking "Haha, no dust under my screen!" All of a sudden, phone goes off, and there's a few particles ..in the middle of the screen..
[Nexus One General] mykenyc:
i just now fell victim also :( , will they replace it with a little dust or something significant? i just peeped a small strand of hair on the top part of the screen.
[Nexus One General] TitoXx:
Any way to prevent or minimize the amount of dust entering???...Would a Screen Protector help?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
As I stated in the 2nd post... check my original thread regarding the dust issue. It's MANY pages long, but just search for threads I started in this forum and you'll find it easily.

There's a technique that I suggest in which you use a hairdryer to heat up the screen thoroughly then push with a moderate/heavy amount of force till the screen clicks and reseals properly. It's worked for me and numerous others...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shiben589:
Recently, on a fully functional ROM (no names so as not to scare people away from it), my mytouch stopped connecting to tmobile, ie, it always had no bars. Naturally, I thought there was something weird going on with my ROM, so I swapped it out for a previous version that I knew worked. After that one also couldnt connect, I moved to cyanogen's latest stable, and still no signal!!

After a while, I decided on a full reset and flashed sappimg.nbh, only to find that the stock ROM also can't connect!!!

My question to the community is whether or not my radio is having issues, and maybe some advice on what I can do if you think it isn't, as I'm stuck in setup on the stock ROM because I cant connect!!

EDIT:I'm just going to go talk with T-Mobile tomorrow, see what happens, maybe i'll get the new one with a 3.5 mm headphone jack!!

Mods, please delete this thread if you can
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mr.tenuki:

My G! is rooted. I download the ROM and the proper radio. I go into recovery mode after copying the build to the root of my SD card. I wipe all data and than try and flash my build(Alt+S)(update.zip or update with vista), and it always tells me how many files are in the folder and "No Signature" installation aborted. The only rom it accepts no problem is the one that brings me back to 1.5 or donut so that I can get back to 1.6 or cupcake. I use the DREIMG.nbh and Telnet + telnetd from the home screen to root and bring me down to 1.0 . I've tried a number of roms but it never works. What could I be doing wrong.

[HD2 General] samsamuel:
search the forum for contact changer first last cab
[HD2 General] concreteman:
easy one

if you go to the people tab -click "all people" at the bottom - "edit contact" - scroll to the bottom - "more" - 6th line is "file as" this should let you swap the names.

If you want to do this easier, you can change it in outlook.

this will let you custom edit it - rather than just swap the order.

Hey, just wondering if those on T-Mobile UK with the HD2 have had any problems with MMS? I've had the phone a couple of months but never tried MMS, until someone tried to send me one the other day. I got the message and when i tapped on it, its asks me to download the pic, i tap download and in the notifications it says unable to download.

I've tried getting T-Mobile to send the settings again to no avail, and have tried the sim in an old phone and MMS works fine. I've tried manually entering the settings and deleting the original ones but still doesn't work.

So i'm thinking its something with the HD2 rather than T-Mobile, but would just like to confirm with someone else's settings. Anyone any ideas?
[HD2 General] leoni1980:
I'm not having any problems. I did run a custom ROM a while back that displayed the same problems you mention, no matter what I did with the settings it wouldn't send or download. Not had a problem since though. Have you tried running the connection wizard again? (settings tab-menu-all settings-connections-connection setup) Might be worth a go.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
Your provider settings govern how your phone handles MMS. You should be able to download the settings automatically, or enter them manually. I'd call them and ask how to configure MMS.
