Hi all,

Has anyone used squaretrade insurance to replace or refund a phone purchased through tmobile?

I have a phone purchased through tmobile that i got insured through squaretrade, and I'm wondering if anyone went through the claim process with them for a similar situation.

Specifically, did they require a receipt, since i believe they mention that on their website? The only thing i had close a receipt was the tmobile bill stating i was charged $200 or whatever, but i insured the phone for the full retail price since that is what it would have cost to replace. Do you know if they would honor the amount it was worth or the $200 i was charged?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I love this wallpaper, turned it down to 10fps tho to save some battery life.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dickson123:
If you check the statistics dialling *#*#4636#*#* , live wallpapers typically account for less than 1% of CPU based battery usage for me, so I wouldn't bother reducing the fps in any futile effort to save battery
[General Questions and Answers] thenewguy821:
I have ROM Manager installed on my Evo 4G, and have purchased the Premium upgrade. I have a confimation e-mail from the developer which says the premium will be downloaded to my device. On my phone, when I open RM, it says Premium v1.8.8.9, but most of the options are grayed out, and cannot be selected. This is the same as it was before the premium upgrade. Am I doing something wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] thenewguy821:
Nevermind, I posted as I waited for a reply from the developer of the RM. I had to update to the newest version and flash newest recovery.

If nothing else, if someone else has a similar problem, hopefully this can help them. :D
[EVO 4G General] diomark:
I did a quick test last night and left my phone off the charger overnight - I was at 73% before starting and down to 45% in the morning. I had used a task manager to close everything prior to the test.

What's weird is that the camera app used 80+% of the battery overnight... Why in the world would it use so much battery when it's not even active???
[EVO 4G General] PLESTIUC:
I had a similarly weird thing happen to me last night only it was the Dialer not the Camera. Used 92% out of all apps and my battery was at 75% when I woke up
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
I'm having same issue with camera, installed the new damage control last night might have something to do with it.

So when we root our phones we lose timescape, so whats a good substitute for it then? Cause to be honest that was kinda cool, I guess I took it for granted. :(

Also is there a way to get it back?

Ok the roms are starting to roll in... Has anyone figures out how to theme them or modify and install a custom mode?

I am eager to learn and use myself as the guinea pig.!.

Any help would be nice..
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] bmfc187:
Yeah we know how to do it...Its basically the same as themeing for the g1, if you're new to themeing for android you should read up in the g1 themes and android themes sections to get caught up...that's where all the good info on themeing is...

Can you simply swap out png's from one theme to another, resign, push, and it will work?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] bmfc187:
Theoretically, yes...there are certain images that end with .9.png, these have to be editted and replaced a certain way and they require special tools to properly edit and recompile them so that they look right when you put them back...search the other theme sections (android and g1) for .9.png and/or draw9patch.bat. there are how to's and tuts there that detail the entire process...other than those its basically just as you say...

Thanks for the reply and for not attacking me like a lot of other people may have lol. I essentially just want to take the launcher from the Nest theme and put it in the Hoops theme because I find the blue check marks a bit hard to see. The other problem I'm having is actually finding the Nest theme. I'm guessing its the system default since I don't see an apk for it. Would the png's for the launcher be in com.htc.resources or what?
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] twiztidnutzzzzz:
Ya double thanks for not flaming....

Just read early on that it was different theme-ing process then the g1...

I shall give it a whirl..

thanx
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] bmfc187:
NP. theres no reason i cant point you in the right direction without being a d*ck about it. actually i got called out on sounding like a d*ck around here, and for my own personal reasons im trying harder not to.

now about the nest theme...i dunno what parts you're trying to copy over and replace, but just so you know, this is how the themes work. all the mymodes themes (except Nest) are tmobile themes, in .apk form in /system/app. The nest theme, however, is HTC's default theme for the Espresso UI, and it has no .apk, all the images for the nest theme can be found in /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk, which is HTCs framework.

now, for what its worth, what it sound like you are trying to accomplish may be easier if you just take the images from the theme you want, and drop them into where they go to replace the old ones. you said the checkboxes...they are located in framework-res AND com.htc.resources (both in /system/framework) so you have to replace them in both directories. (or figure out which one overrides the other, im willing to bet if you place them in com.htc.resources theyll override the ones in framework-res.apk)

Hope this helps you out...

if you guys have any questions or need help, ill be glad to help unless there's already a tut on how to do it, in which case ill gladly point you to the tut...lol

happy themeing!

I was a preorder and am sporting HBOOT v.77 ... and had 3 questions:

1) How would I to update to v.79 or higher?

2) If one updates their HBOOT do they have to re-root through the current (not so easy) method or will the custom recovery survive?

3) Any chance that the custom recovery could be patched to also update the HBOOT?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] B-dub25:
the only way i know of right know is to use ruu that has hboot 79

correct me if im wrong
[Droid Incredible General] qwho:
I originally rooted my day-one purchased inc, which had .77 installed, it was nearly impossible though, I used like 10 different cards and only got in with adb once. I screwed something up though and the su.apk got erased every boot, so I RUU'ed it to .79, and it was just as difficult for me to root it, until I bought the pny 2gig card. Now I am 100% rooted, and I was sure my phone was never going to be because nothing I tried worked until the pny card would work.
[Droid Incredible General] binny1007:
yes you can update without loosing root but its tricky to do, here is how to do it allthough there is no benifite.

1 get the rom zip from the ruu

2 rename it to PB31IMG.zip

3 put it on the root of your sd

4 reboot to HBOOT it will search for files on your sd card, take your back cover off

5 when it ask's if you want to up date say yes

6 it will update your hboot and radio than reboot

7 right after the reboot or as soon as the screen goes black than pull your sd card out

8 it will boot in into hboot and you will see that your bootloader was upgraded along with your radio.

9 select reboot than you can put your sd card back in, and when it boots remove PB31IMG.zip from your sd card.

I have done this and can confirm that it works, i did it to see if it would fix my signal issues. Just be warned if you do not pull your sd card out before it loads up the second time you will have to reroot your phone.
[Droid Incredible General] JustinD2473:
so, did it help with any signal related issues ?
[Droid Incredible General] binny1007:
Yes it did seem to help a little bit. I'm not dropping down to 1x all the time any more.
[Droid Incredible General] qwho:
There was no change for me between .77 and .79 as far as I can tell.
[Droid Incredible General] Joe92T:
Does this even do anything on the phone itself??

What im saying is at the moment im running what came with my phone when i first got it, which is 1.22.605.2 Hboot .77... If i ran the RUU file it would update me to 1.22.605.2 Hboot .79... the Hboot is different but the actual software version stays the exact same (1.22.602.2) so nothing in android changes whatsoever it would seem like, and the only difference is Hboot version, does just the hboot update by itself make a difference in the daily operations of the phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefftse:
Hi all,

I have 2 questions.

1..

difference between deodexed and odexed?

2..

If my evo is already root and nand unlocked. Do I need to follow toast part 2 every time when I want to install a new rom? Please advise.

Thanks

Jeff
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
1:

From Berzerker @ droidforums.net found via Google:

2: No, you don't need to reroot or re-nand-unlock. Once it's done it should be done, unless the ROM is a stock/RUU ROM and removed root, or you've updated over-the-air and the update removed root, or someone screwed up their ROM and made it remove root (people will generally find out and post about the latter ASAP and it will be removed.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefftse:
Great,

so what would be the best step? update.zip then apply new rom? or I'm off?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
No need to update.zip. If you've already rooted and have nand access, just copy the ROM file to your SD card in it's .zip format (leave it with it's default name so you know what one it is.)

Then turn off the phone, reboot while holding the volume button to get to the menu, then go to recovery.

I always perform a Nandroid backup, especially if you're at a "default" ROM right after root/nand. So Nandroid, then go to wipe and just move down the list wiping everything. Then go back to the first menu, select Flash Zip file from SD Card, select the ROM you want to flash, let it go, and reboot.

Edit: Oh yeah, make sure you remove that PC36IMG.zip file from the SD card before doing any of this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefftse:
Awesome!

One more questions,

What is OTA update? I think I'm supposed to update to 1.47.651.1?

and radio update for 2.05.00.06.10 WiMax update?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickBaller:
I'm running the EvolutionV8 ROM and I made the fix to get Facebook to sync my contacts and all the contacts got synced except for 1.........myself. I have no contact entry for myself and if I create a new contact and try and merge it with a FB contact I don't see the facebook contact representing myself. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
Wait wait...what?!

You want a contact on your phone for, yourself? If my human brain is confused, imagine how the phone feels!

Dang man..don't need to mess with it like that!

Anyhow, let me try and get it right. You want a Facebook contact for yourself to show up on your phone (I guess some people talk to themselves, but this kinda goes a little far.)

I'll bet if you create a new Facebook account, and add all the contacts to it, including yourself as a contact, it'll work. I think it probably has something to do with Facebook not really putting YOU as an actual contact. I don't know if that makes any sense or not. I'm just confused now.

You are not a contact on Facebook, you are you, you can't contact yourself on facebook. Ie, you can't send yourself a poke! Unless you had 2 accounts of course, sending pokes back and forth (yeah, thats just weird.) SO since you aren't a contact on Facebook, a contact on your phone with your name isn't going to sync with Facebook!

I think that answers the question, let me know if I'm waaay off base here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickBaller:
Let me clarify:

I want my phone to know that my facebook account represents the same person that owns the phone. When I type a MMS message I want to see my FB profile picture representing me in the MMS conversation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
Ahh, gotcha. Hmm. I'm running Toast .03 and it works just fine for me, but I think the ROM you're talking about has Facebook issues (or you wouldn't have had to "get it to work")

Might be an issue best fixed in that ROM's thread? The maker of the ROM probably needs to integrate a full Facebook fix.

About OpenDesire

OpenDesire was made with made purely for the HTC Desire and is compiled from a variety of public repositories, OpenDesire is NOT a port of any HTC ROM, it is compiled from source purely with the exception of the Google Apps for which the source code is not publicised.

Changelog

3.6.1 patch

removed chrome2phone

updated proprietary libs

3.6.0

Updated apps/framework/kernel

Removed Facebook/Twitter (both can be downloaded from the market)

Reverted OC to 1305mhz (most phones can handle this and I would rather concentrate on making the rom more stable than just trying for performance gains)

(NOTE: for those that tried the pre-release that was available, I listened to everyones comments and removed all additions, OD is back to stock and 100% source compiled and will remain this way.)

(NOTE 2: OpenDesire/DeFroST use the CyanogenMod community framework base. OD/DF/CM roms are all individual and are completely different, OD is a minimalist ROM and as close to a stock bare base as possible.)

To save everyone from another lame flame war I'm not listing fixes/updates for 3.6 due to claims of ownership, Android is licensed under the Apache license and is opensource and nobody owns anything in my opinion, below is a quote from the Apache License wikipedia page, interpret it however you wish.

"Like any free software license, the Apache License allows the user of the software the freedom to use the software for any purpose, to distribute it, to modify it, and to distribute modified versions of the software, under the terms of the license."

Apps2sd Working using spare parts and selecting external memory as default

LED Partially working...Led Lights up on charging and turns off when uplugged

No echo : Called my gf with volume down by 1 from max

Sync working partially:twitter and google sync working with contacts

Camera working

Not Working :

The physical key's lights are off (back, search, menu and home)!

Face Book Sync : cannot add a FB account, although the very first time I attempted it gave me the login screen

Led Lights Does not light up for Notifications

Video Camera (known)

I am comparing it with Defrost 1.5f in which i had problems with :

1-Echo

2-Wifi

3-MMS

4-LED

So i guess all of my issues have been solved with this rom!!
