[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
It was around December last year, it was for my old HTC Touch. I had just quit smoking at the time and had to leave the sprint store before I got arrested, I was seriously about to back hand the girl who told me "it wasnt that bad."

I have been compensated by sprint in other ways so I havent left them yet but I just noticed on my new bill they are charging me fees and taxes for Arizona + the state I actually live in. And I have never lived in or even been anywhere near Arizona. So yeah, they are trying my patients.

I've had the same phone number for almost ten years now, great way to treat your loyal customers huh
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fdot:
part of your contract.

asurion is a major insurance provider, almost every carrier. and you are supplied with refurbished replacements as necessary.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sycur:
Just made a claim for my EVO yesterday. It seems to me that they're too new to be replaced by refurbished models. A couple friends who work at separate Sprint stores seem to think the same thing, but have yet to see any EVO's replaced yet. We will see and I will update when it comes in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journeyjeans:
I made a claim Saturday, and it arrived yesterday (Wednesday). Once it was processed, it was overnighted....and get this.....BRAND NEW!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichTJ99:
I made a claim on Tuesday (7/27), it was approved on 7/28 & the CC information was taken then as well. I have no idea when my replacement will come but I will also update when I get it.

My current shattered evo still works & I am trying to consider the cracks in the screen a live wallpaper, but thats not really working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
despite what the best buy sales reps might tell you, their insurance gives out refurbs as well. personally i really like refurbs, since your less likely to have problems since the item has now been double/triple checked. my experience with refurbs has been excellent, YMMV. best buy salesman told me sprint insurance deduct is 150 (lie) and you can only make 1 claim a year (lie) and best buy gives you a new phone, not refurb (lie again). i actually have both insurances on my account right now, not sure why. if i break it maybe i can get 2 new (refurb) phones :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
how would you even know if it was brand new or a refurb? refurbs look new.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
you're a doctor? :p
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplicity baby:
Why would you want to pay for both insurances?

I learned the hard way about BB insurance - Dork Squad protection only covers manufacturer defects, normal wear & tear, and does NOT cover lost, stolen, physical or water-damaged phones. Nor do they repair your phone on-site in their store (unlike some Sprint stores) - rather, they send it out to a repair center to get it fixed, with a $150 deposit for a p.o.s. loaner phone while it's out for repair, and they will ONLY replace it with a new phone if they deem your phone unrepairable at the repair center. Funnily enough, it took the dork at the Dork Squad counter longer to fill out a repair claim form than it ever did for me to fill out a claim online at Asurion.

Considering BB charges $10/mo for their insurance (which is already covered by Sprint, or whatever phone company, as well as the manufacturer) and a $150 loaner deposit, whereas Asurion charges $7/mo with a $100 deductible for a refurbed phone (although I think Evo's are new, since my replacement was hehe), I wouldn't waste my money on BB's insurance again. I'm still fighting with them to replace a laptop they've fixed 3 times within a year under their dork protection's 'lemon' clause, and they continue to insist my screen was replaced 3 times for different reasons each time...but that's another story lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplicity baby:
oh, and the ETA for my replacement Evo was about 5 days (claimed on a Friday night, got it on a Wednesday).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
The phone is coded as such. ##786# will tell you refurb status and date. If its new it will say " <Not Available> " under both of those.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanMuppet:
Thanks. I thought my replacement was refurb as the store manager was claiming as such. I had to file a Sprint warranty repair since my USB port snapped off the board from normal use.

Loving my replacement. No light leakage + Epson + 003

If it does not show up at all, reboot the phone and try again, but do NOT let it boot back to Android. You can get back in to the bootloader by waiting until the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen shows up and typing 'adb reboot bootloader' with the usb cable attached.

have reformatted sdcard with external card reader to fat32, copied liberated....zip onto the drive and inserted back into phone (while it was powered off)

each time the .... adb devices fails to see it and android loads it makes changes to the sdcard, inserting one or two directories
[HTC Aria General] modest_mandroid:
Does it show up in adb devices after it has booted to android? It sounds like you're missing some drivers. You should really do this from linux or osx to avoid driver issues - try downloading a linux livecd.
[HTC Aria General] Troggie:
I was having a similar issue.. here is what I did to fix it.

First I made sure it could be seen by ADB loop when the phone was not in the bootloader screen. Then I shut it down and reformatted the SDcard in an external card reader.

Open up 2 command prompt windows and start loop in one and have this adb command in another "adb reboot bootloader" but do not hit enter.

Reboot the phone while plugged in to the USB and during the HTC boot screen you should see the phone show up in the loop this is when you hit enter on the adb command it will then reboot the phone to the bootloader screen and follow the instructions from there to flash the rom/root.

First post!

Hi guys, I'm making this thread after fiddling around with the search for a while because I don't know exactly what to search for to get the answers to the questions I need answered. If anyone could link me to a thread containing these answers, I'd be eternally grateful. Please don't be mad, I'm sure the regulars have answered these a thousand times.

I live in Brazil and got my N1 through an american friend.

1- Can I root a N1 running Froyo (FRF91)?

2- If I root my phone, will I have access to paid apps? Do I pay for them with my google account somehow?

3- Will rooting my N1 screw up my ability to call folks?

4- Is there any reason to root a froyo N1? (I've been told Cyanogen's mod of 2.1 was a billion times better than the default one, but I don't think there's a 2.2 build)

Again, Sorry if these were answered somewhere else. In that case, please link me and I'll be quiet :p

Edit - Ugh, there's a Q&A subforum. Way to go, me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
1. Yes, I'm sure you can, but maybe not yet with the method that doesn't unlock the bootloader.

2. Yes, with MarketEnabler. You pay with a Google Checkout account.

3. No.

4. When CyanogenMod 6 comes out, for sure. Right now I have CM5.08 (2.1) and Froyo FRF83 on my N1 and I prefer Froyo to be honest. But CM6 will have 720P recording and other cool stuff.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
1. you can but you may have to downgrade your rom using the PASSIMG.zip method

2. Yes, you can use google checkout

3. No

4. You can theme your phone, flash custom roms, block ads on your phone, use root enabled apps, etc

Thank you so much, guys.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjur:
Can this method above be used without having having to cut the battery with a razerblade?

I want to root but without unlock bootloader to keep warranty intact.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
well imo cutting that small tab on the battery is very easy to do and in no way affects vital battery operation. its just a separate piece of plastic.

however, some members have managed to force their sdcard in without cutting the tab, but that may cause more damage than cutting the battery if something goes wrong.

you can also either get a spare battery that doesnt have the tab or a class 6 transcend 4gb microsd.

there arent to many viable options im afraid, but the piece you cut off the battery is not really even a part of the battery. i think its just there to ensure the sd remains secure during operation
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjur:
Okay thanks for the elaborating answer. I have been considering root for a long time, but the thing that will make me root right away was if FM was working, and perhaps 720p, but with the new Froyo I haven't seen arguments that should make me use costum rom yet, but if there's someone that can tell me otherwise, I would like to know:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lou2s:
I hv been thinking about rooting for long time as well.

Currently I m on FRF91 stock, I hv read the posts in dev section and it seems the only way now is to downgrade first then upgrade afterwards. And there are so many different combination of kernels, tools, etc. which bloated my head. And in different tutorials I read ppl facing different issues. Cutting the plastic part of the battery is another obstacle (for my mind) to overcome. In some tutorials, however, I don't see this particular step as necessary, e.g.:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=710351

So for now, I will keep reading and probably wait for a new tutorial for rooting stock frf91 without touching the bootlocker, and without issues...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flybyme:
Well you can avoid cutting the battery if you can see your phone through ADB while in recovery. That is the most difficult part of the whole process. The rest of it is easy and takes less than 2 minutes.

If your phone shows up in adb while in recovery, your pretty much good to go. As for rooting, you really dont need to mess with any kernels or roms. You can stay stock and rooted. Thats what ive done (though i plan on moving to other roms soon enough)

The workarounds and problems for the root method without unlocking bootloader all stem from seeing your phone in recovery and the SD is what plays the major role. All other problems are because of circumstances of people not following directions or flukes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lou2s:
So according to the sticky: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=710842

The very 1st step is:

- Extract the files within "ROOT_FRF83.zip" into the "tools" directory of the extracted SDK package

While I m already on FRF91, this sounds like I m going to push something older to my phone. Am I correct?

(I stay in this thread for a reason, I m a noob in rooting :) )

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yarda:
well, i updated a stock european rom (EPF30)

unlocked the bootloader and was rooted. Glad :-)

after downgrading to firmware ERD79 still rootacces

then i received by OTA build FRF91

installed without problems.

butt, no rootacces now.

searched for a working superboot for FRF91. No succes at the moment

For me it is not clear how to get full acces. ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
I cut my battery to root my phone, and the amount you have to remove is really negligible. I don't think it even makes a difference to the security of fit of the SD card. I can get the card in, but I can't get it out with the battery in :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
As the requirements for that guide state, you must have an N1 at FRF85B or lower. It doesn't work on FRF91.
[XPERIA X10 General] javsontt:
hi, eveyone,

i got a X10i from Germany(unlocked), UMTS band is band 1,4,8.

I use it with Canada's Rogers wireless network, and my rogers service includes data plan. My X10i is only work on GPRS/EDGE(i know Roger's UMTS Band is 2,5 so my X10i just work on GPRS/EDGE not 3G)

So I set it to roger's APN and browser is worked with GPRS/EDGE network, but all google services(include twitter/facebook/google maps/market) can not work with GPRS/EDGE network.

do i need any other setting for google service or it only through 3G network?

P.S. wifi is working fine

P.S.2. same problem with R1FA014,R1FA016(by SEUS) and R2BA020(UK by flash tool)

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] stevencxr:
Can you post your apn detail pls?
[XPERIA X10 General] hondaguy:
did you use these settings for your apn?

Everything else: <Not Set>

also, did you flash software for x10a on your phone or did you use software for the x10i?

i think you need to use software for the x10i only where the x10a versions can run software for either version as long as the apn settings are correct
[XPERIA X10 General] javsontt:
my APN setting is automatic set to ROGERS from SIM card.

i can use browser access website, but just no google apps...

i will try manually input APN.

now my X10i firmware is R2BA020(UK), and in "about" is X10i not X10a

[XPERIA X10 General] hondaguy:
this setting works great too, but it only allows for data and not mms. the all-in-one apn i listed gives you full data access plus mms.
[XPERIA X10 General] javsontt:
i'll try later~

thank you guys~
[XPERIA X10 General] hondaguy:
the apn that automatically sets up uses the goam.com apn, not internet.com so depending on your data plan or account settings it may block access to certain things. i am not sure, but it is my best guess
[XPERIA X10 General] stevencxr:
I just tested your setting, either 3g or mms is not working on mine x10a rooted with fm 23 ?

my old setting doesn't support mms which is true

after I added something below to Honda's settings, 3g begins to work but still can't send mms

username : wapuser1

password : wap

I will get my roommate's branded x10a when he is back, so I can just copy his official settings to here if it is possible
[XPERIA X10 General] hondaguy:
Did you delete the old apn first? If not try again and make sure there is only one access point. If it doesn't work then set up your old access point and Google search for the mms settings for rogers and add it as a 2nd access point. It is called media.com

I had no problem using your settings or the one I recommended with my x10a when using both the UK generic and north American generic ROMs
[XPERIA X10 General] javsontt:
i follow this APN setting post by hondaguy,

and in APN setting i choose it, it works! everything works ok!

thank you~

finally i can use google maps without wifi!! thank you~

I'm not getting anywhere near this sort of battery life. I've had the phone just over a week, and I'm having to charge it twice a day. I woke up this morning and the battery was on red. Previously I'd thought it was feral apps, but today it had been on for 16 hours and reported

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanuJanu:
Battery life depends also on the network coverage. When it is poor, the phone will consume more energy (must give more power to antenna). ;) 3G consumes less energy when you are near the BTS (transmitter), but more when you are far from BTS. So, when you live in the city - choose 3G, when you live in the countryside - choose 2G. Battery off your phone will live longer ;)

I'm at round 2-3 days here too, depending on the usage.

I suggest you set the default 'energy manager' widget (not sure that's the correct English name, I use a dutch version) and switch off WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and mobile data whenever not in use.

On stock ROM 2.1 it got only 1-2 days with this technique, without it (keeping bluetooth and mobile data always on) it didn't even last a full day in some cases.

Now with CM7 and the over/underclocking options I can get up to 3 days. I've set my speeds to 176/768 and using the performance governor.
