Android does not support J2ME. So all those dumbphones jar files are useless as they will not run on Android.
[Desire General] oursoul:
Yeah we know that.

But there must be and emulator that works.

I mean there's gameboys, super nintendos and I hear a PS1 is coming!!

So come on, someone must know of a half decent app.

however they're not targetting end users >:(

oh well time to get my dearstalker on ;)

I am guessing since it converts them to Davlik that one would need Froyo to run the converted apps?

i recently downloaded PocketShield only to find that i didnt like it. in the process of using it, it asked me to change the default dialer to its own dialer. I uninstalled PocketShield but the dial pad is still there. How do i convert back to the original default dial pad?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
I had to Hard reset after using Pocket Shield... Wished I hadn't of bothered to try it if im honest..

Sorry this isnt a working solution...:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bing69:
Reinstall PS, choose the good dialer and deinstall PS....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
you don't have to disable the HTC dialer and use the windows one. I'm using pocketshield with the htc dialer and its fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pckshd:
Disable it the same way you enabled it, thats all!
[XPERIA X10 General] DrWeird:
Hi All,

I just turned the phone off and then on again and when it turned on I got an error message saying warning! no sd card inserted. There was one in the phone and it seemed to work fine after that. It does it nearly every time I reboot the phone.

Is this normal?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Well, it has happened to me a couple of times. Just remove the battery and jerk the memory card a bit and it should work again.
[XPERIA X10 General] bimmerboii:
just make sure the microsd card is inserted properly. When you push it in it should do a click
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
And told the women, yes, women, plural, more than one, including the manager of the store... behind the counter about my dust in my screen and my 60-day old USB cable already being broken, so no way to charge the phone (good thing I have spares).

Anyways, She was like "I've never seen this before" I told her "Yeah, because it isnt supposed to happen" Then I went on about how I've done research etc and that there's a bad batch of heroes out there that get the dust problem, and the usual remedy by going to a corporate sprint store is that they replace it with a refurb... she goes "Oh we dont do that". I was like "this is a corporate store, right?" She (this was the manager) says Yes. I had 9% battery left, and explained I couldnt even charge the phone... and the dust was not supposed to be there

So, I proceed to tell her thanks for selling me a ****ing paperweight and left the store.
[Hero CDMA General] Jwahlg:
Wow, Is there another corporate store nearby?

I'd try them and if not call sprint they take care of defects to, when i

had a pre they'd sent 7 refurbs until they eventually let me model swap into

my hero
[Hero CDMA General] jvermillion:
It's pretty ****ty that they'll only give a refurb and not a new phone.
[Hero CDMA General] agentofboom:
Maybe try going to another one and be uber-polite. that gets you way further than going in there demanding things. Nobody likes that stuff thrown in their faces, especially when you make no money an hour and piss-poor commission pay like they do at cell phone stores.

Have you ever worked retail? Remember how it sucks? Try to not make it suck for them and they'll be more inclined to help you.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Every company gives out refurbs and calling in will not replace it. I hate when purple call in for bad phones, its like a car the repair center had to do it so go back to the store and put a complaint in about that retarded manager and make them do their jobs.
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
Me? I love the purple. :D
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Damn swype lol
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
You said you have spare USB cables. How is your phone a paperweight? Did the dust destroy it or something?
[Hero CDMA General] Konikub:
No....I'm guessing he just said that to them, so they would think they left him with a paper weight cause they did not give him a USB cord. Which they should have by all rights....imo.
[Hero CDMA General] shh im sleeping:
Don't be hating the purple. What has it ever done to you?
[Hero CDMA General] scriz:
His USB port is broken, leaving him unable to charge the phone...:confused:

edit:

NVM, re-read the first post, he broke his USB cable..but has a spare..not a paperweight at all.
[Hero CDMA General] Kelvala:
Here I was waiting for a punchline. Women, dust in screen, not being able to clean it, calls them paperweights.

Cool story bro.

*grabs popcorn* waiting for part 2. :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] chaotic84:
Sprint is a ****ty company to work for, when they laid off 8,000 employees back in March of 09 they decided to get rid of all the good employees and keep the lower salary ones that know crap. The higher ups don't care about the customers, they only care about the bottom line as long as it doesn't effect there salary.

I'm talking from experience, I was one of those higher salary people that got the boot instead of the people that I trained and were making around $20,000 less than me.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Cool story Homie!!
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
Part 2: So, phone in hand, I get back in my car and explain to my fiance what I jsut went in and did. Told her I was very nice so they would actually help me out, and told her what they said to me. I then told her that when I go to a different city (yes, city) o get to a corporate store, I'm gonna put my foot down and not leave, and raise hell till I get a brand new phone, or they can shut my account down.

Me saying to them that the phone was a paperweight was to make them feel stupid and bad. I kissed their asses, because I used to work for radio shack and know how it is to be done dirty. So, I was nice, joked with them some, but meant business all the same, and walked out empty handed (with my 'paperweight' in the hand, anyways). SO, when I go back, it's balls to the wall babay!
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Good lord!
[Hero CDMA General] anthony67:
Ok...first of all....Sprint is no different than any of the hundreds of other companies cutting the bottom line to try and stay afloat. It's a business model thats been in effect for many years now......"We, the executives who make the decisions, in order to keep our salaries, continue to make the share holders happy (their the ones who really own the company) and possibly grow our company are going to cut all high end salaries in areas we can afford to cut and ask more of the people remaining without offering them more money".

I understand your disgruntled...I'm not sayin.....I'm just sayin....

On to the OP's problem. If you went into a tech center and was really nice to them......even maybe offered cookies.....when that refurbed phone came in, they would switch out your board into the new body and everyone would rejoice and pennies would fall from the heavens. Once again.....I'm not sayin.....I'm just sayin......
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
I'm lucky. They know and love me at my Sprint Store and Repair Center. :)
[Hero CDMA General] VinceOB:
Not all Corporate stores are equipped to handle replacements. Hell, There is ONE Corporate store by me that has a tech center in it. The one I went to a few weeks ago doesnt handle the replacements. So you going in there and telling them "Thanks for the paperweight" made you look like the idiot you are. Before you go around "demanding" a new phone at a different store, be sure you know you're in a "Repair Center" type store. I also love the fact that you think you're entitled to a "New" phone after a few months of banging it around and shoving it where the sun dont shine. So basically what you're saying is that say you have a car that you bought brand new a few months ago and all of a sudden it has water in the head lights, do you think you're entitled to a brand new car?? I would say go ahead and cancel your account. That would be one less tool for Sprint to deal with.
[Hero CDMA General] networx2002:
Find tech store and just have them change the lcd. if its a bad charging port it cant be fixed and they will order a new phone.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
dont make yourself look like an ass over remarks I made. It was meant for a laugh, not for you to get your panties up in a bunch over. Dear god... I forgot people surf forums and try to act hard for no reason.
[Hero CDMA General] Negrito:
It always puts me on stuck mode. I much prefer a high grade Sativa... Shlt's better Red Bull, IMO. :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
Those who have had the dust cleaned from your phones, was it a while you wait fix or did you have to leave the phone? And will they care if it's been Rooted? ;)
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Yeah I want to know this as well... the dust in my phone is spreading into the center of the screen.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Mine was while I waited. They gave me some grief about the custom ROM, so next time I bring it I will make sure to load a stock Nandroid backup.
[Hero CDMA General] Rally187:
the real issue is why the f would they still make these phone the same way? im on the 3rd day with my second hero and can already see a couple specs of dust landing in the bottom left. when i talked to them at best buy they actually said not to put the phone in my pocket. i realize that its gonna get more dust there but wtf!? went to the sprint store which we've been using for ever and they said that if the 3rd phone gets dust then they'll upgrade me to the evo. which is just fine with me :D now im just waitin to hear how much the upgrade price is gonna be for that bad motha F*** :D
[Hero CDMA General] networx2002:
I've had my phone for 6 months no dust. What are you people doing?
[Hero CDMA General] whoiswes:
I had/have three Heros (two active, one was temporary) and only one of the three had the dust issue. The two newest phones have zero dust particles, and that's with the phone riding in my pocket every day and through a move across three states. Wife's phone stays in her backpack while she's at work so it doesn't see as much action but it's still clean. I think it's more about the assembly/fit of the phone than the design of the phone itself...which would explain why some people have the issue and some don't. Maybe some faceplates are getting tightened too much/not enough and that's leaving a gap or some other such thing. A redesign could probably fix it but you know that won't happen.

FWIW, the phone that DID have the dust issue had it occur within three days - so it wasn't like I had it for months, it was brand new, never abused/dropped/mistreated and it still had a postage-stamp sized area covered in dust in the upper right corner. The other two are three weeks old and spotless.

This is all non-scientific observation of a very small data set but I've seen both sides of the coin so figured I'd comment. HTH.
[Hero CDMA General] Rally187:
i got dusty pockets :(
[Hero CDMA General] keeneraver:
what you should do

make sure it is an authorized service center. Those are the ones that swap it out. Also, the dust IS a known issue (just like the paint chipping on the power button) but they aren't swapping out just for that issue alone (cosmetic, just like the power button). You are better off just mentioning the battery not holding charge. Also, on a side note, no one likes to be told what their job is, especially if they haven't had a chance to do it yet. Just go into another store that is an authorized service center, and tell them your battery won't charge.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
Is it swype or is it the shrooms your eating

About 3 weeks ago I bought a sleeve/cover for my phone and started putting it in my pocket instead of my case. A couple of days ago the speaker started sounding distorted, which I've seen several people say dirt gets in there and messes it up, but I do not have dirt under the screen.
[Hero CDMA General] networx2002:
im lucky i have a replacement housing for my phone so if i get dust im good to go.:D
[Hero CDMA General] Negrito:
Weird, I've had mine since day one, and my only issue is I have dropped it on concrete 10-15 times..... :p
[Hero CDMA General] 76flip:
I had my mini usb port crap out on me and i went back 4 times until i found the ONE guy who was cool and swapped it out for me. If they dont they are lazy, all they have to do is fill out a little damned form online and they are to lazy to do it.
[Hero CDMA General] Sirithe:
Yeah. I've had a friend go into the same exact store as me, but there was a different employee there to take care of his. I had to RUU mine because I'm rooted on 2.1, but when I went in the guy had a sh!t fit on me about how its cosmetic, and it doesn't matter, and his fiancee's power button has no paint on it. And how easily he could do it, just that he won't. When I mentioned the other employee doing it for my friend he said and I quote "Well that guys a fu*king retard."

If Sprint weren't getting the Evo, I'd be gone.
[Hero CDMA General] jerry43812:
quoted for truth
[Hero CDMA General] lv2bll:
not trying to be a jerk but this is exactly my point of view, next time read the return /repair policy from sprint and htc and go from there than messin up normal people's day who dont have authorization do do what you want!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] networx2002:
What kind of service do you get from Att or t-mobile repair center. "wait they dont have one"
[Hero CDMA General] nquisative:
Seconded and Third..ed? I work for a corporate sprint store that is not a service and repair center. In fact, the only exchanges we can perform are of the 30-day variety. Working retail can suck sometimes, and customers like the one from this "hilarious" narrative definitely contribute to it.
[Hero CDMA General] networx2002:
Here’s a trick that used to work, not sure if it still does after the site updated last week. First go to sprint.com, go to find store then repair store, here’s the trick, put a zip code were there isn’t a repair location around your area. Since there isn’t a location in your area you will be able to order a phone to your house online and you don’t need to take it in to get a replacement.:D:D:D:D:D
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Quoted for truth except when you put your shipping address you are ****ed
[Hero CDMA General] scriz:
Are these not factory defects? Does the Sprint warranty replacement program not provide free replacements for "Factory Defects"? Yes, they should replace my phone because it has dust inside the screen and chipped paint on the end button.

When I take my phone in for the dust and the chipped end button, if they don't replace/fix it, i'll take it to another and complain about something else, or brick it to get a new one. Thanks! :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] notown775:
Turn it off in a busy place, say you lost it. Dont forget to take the battery out.:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] Quis89:
They should have given him a usb cord? You do realize accessories are no covered under the manufactures warranty, right?

And anything other than the device itself is considered an accessory. They arent obligated to GIVE anything. Its a nice courtesy if they do.
[Hero CDMA General] scriz:
And have to pay $50 to get it replaced, I'll just complain about whats wrong with it and get it replaced for free. I live in a pretty large metropolitan area with 30+ sprint stores in a 15 mile radius..I'll get one to bite! :p
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
Dust under the screen?? Maybe......paint chipping not likely...unless you can prove that it was always protected, even then..

"brick it to get a new one......." and people wonder why cell phones cost $500 :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] Quis89:
You do realize the quotes imply exact wording, right?

I dont believe that is the exact quote uttered from a representative at a corporate Sprint store....

As soon as that was said...a manager should have been called over.
[Hero CDMA General] scriz:
I don't wonder why cell phones are $500..but you'll never catch me paying that much for one. I paid $79 for my Moment in November when it was released, traded it for a Touch Pro 2, then traded it for a newly replaced Hero.

My hero is 2 months old and has dust under the screen and is chipping paint. I'd say that's a factory defect. Even in an extreme case that I can't get them to replace it for free, I'm willing to "lose" it for $50 out of pocket.
[Hero CDMA General] wsucoug09:
its people like you that make our jobs suck at sprint. or any retail for that matter. you do realize some sprint stores can't replace phones? some are sales only stores. so if they said they can't, then they most likely cant. also try being nice when you go in. it isn't anyone's fault your phone has dust under the screen. does your cell service work? yes? then your service provider, SPRINT, is not to blame. complain to HTC. if you came into my store and were a ****, I would send you someplace else, even if I could exchange your phone. someone was an asshole to you in your line of work, would you really want to help them to your fullest? didn't think so. also when you say something right before you leave the store to get that last word in and be the "big bad man" we don't care. we actually laugh at you when you leave the store. so just a word of advice, be polite, there is no need to be rude to someone who didn't cause your problem. know sprint policies. recognize sprint is a service provider. nothing more, nothing less. don't try to get that last word in to make yourself feel like a bad ass. it only makes you look stupid. and you are laughed at after you leave. and in fact the majority of the customers in the store laugh at you also.

^^^^+1000000000000000000000000 Why do people call Sprint to complain about their phones??? ITS MADE BY HTC!!!!!! NOT SPRINT HTC!!!!! Go to ANY country out of the US the cell carriers WILL NOT sell CELL PHONES so people can not come back and complain.

Most customers dont realize that carriers selling phones is for THEIR convenience but the phones are NOT made by the carriers! Got a problem with the phone? Call the ****ing maker! Your Ford Escort breaks down you call FORD not Bob Joe that sold it to you right?
[Hero CDMA General] scriz:
Sorry, I subscribe to TEP, and while I agree the silver on the end button is cosmetic, the dust under the screen is not. It is a hindrance of vision in high light areas. I don't care if HTC made it, Sprint is insuring it, and I'm paying for it, so Sprint WILL replace it.

No you wouldn't send me someplace else. You'd say "Sorry we can't do that because its not covered blah blah", I'd say "Let me speak to your manager please". I've worked in the wireless industry for quite some time, and I know exactly how it works. Call Customer Support..get an answer you don't like? Hangup on them and call back. Get an answer you don't like? Rinse and repeat until someone folds. If you "told me to go somewhere else" I'd politely ask for your manager, and complain to him about how you don't follow your TEP guidelines. It takes no money from your paycheck, and doesn't make your store go into the red any faster for simply replacing a TEP covered issue.

Be helpful to your customers, you'd be surprised how far it goes.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
Wrong again, SPRINT does not insure it, ASURION insures it, same insurance that ATT, Verizon and Tmobile uses. Again, these companies are just SERVICE PROVIDERS. If you're TV breaks do you take it to your cable company?
[Hero CDMA General] scriz:
Sigh, is it not called "Total Equipment Protection" THAT I'M PAYING SPRINT FOR?

I'm "paying" Sprint, Sprint WILL replace it, then do whatever they need to do to cover their loss with Asurion or HTC, whichever is applicable.

Regardless, my phone will be replaced, and replaced, and replaced again as long as the dust that a "manufacturers defect" is causing.

Sprint is nearly the "service provider" who is selling the phone. This I do understand. They shouldn't sell a phone that is causing them so many problems.

Is this pissing contest going to go for another 6 pages?

Also, no I wouldn't take my TV to the cable company, because they are not the ones who sold it to me. I'd take it back to Wal-Mart/Target/HH Gregg/BestBuy. If Wal-Mart/Target/HH Gregg/BestBuy was also my service provider, then so-be-it.

From the Sprint page btw,

This is the $4 thats paid inside of the TEP for the Equipment Service and Repair Program along with the $3 for the Equipment Replacement Program from Asurion. Kthx. :D

I'm off to bed, so this pissing contest will have to continue after I take my son to school in the morning. Nighty night!
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
^ Sprint won't replace it, Sprint will transfer you to the insurance department.
[Hero CDMA General] Costa276:
If I'm pulling out of the dealership and the car dies. I'm not calling FORD. I'm walking over to Bob Joe and filling him up with a size 10 and if I'm feeling generous I'll give him the matching set.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
No, I would take it to where I purchased it from. If I purchased the phone at Sprint, I'm going back to Sprint.

If the cable company supplies a Motorola IPTV box that works only with that provider (whether free or paid), do you think I'm calling Motorola because the box malfunctions? Nope. I'm calling the service provider since that device only works on their system. If a provider locks a device to their network, they have a limited obligation to support that device, whether it is a cable box or a phone.

Take note that I said *limited*. If I drop my phone and it suffers cosmetic damage, the provider isn't responsible for that. But if there is cosmetic damage that is excessive beyond normal wear and tear, and the damage wasn't caused by negligence, then the carrier should be responsible for it since they locked that phone to their network.
[Hero CDMA General] rrr571:
There is hope.

I have found it is best to get on the phone and make noise about leaving. If you make the right argument, they will pass you on to the retention people and then there's a good chance you will get some satisfaction.

Works every time for us.

yeah i used to work for tmobile a year ago, people would come in and complain about scratches, dust, battery not holding a charge you name it they said it, after 30 days the only thing we could do was call asurion to help them. after a month its out of our hands, you fools have to call asurion, because thats what we were trained to do.....lol oh good times
