^^ Exactly what this guy said. CONTACT EBAY RIGHT AWAY!

CALL THEM ON THE PHONE. Say, "Item not as described". Tell them you want to escalate it to a claim. They will tell you to ship the item back and give them a tracking number, also get delivery confirmation. You will get your money back as soon as eBay gets delivery confirmation from the postal service.

Experience: Returned a touch screen acer laptop with dead zone in the touch screen when it was claimed to be 100% working

AND WHEN YOU GET YOUR MONEY BACK... I have 2 Motorola backflips... I bought one unlocked, used it on T-Mobile for 2 days, and then saw AT&T was offering free backflips with new service. So now I'm on AT&T with a free Backflip, but I do have an unlocked Backflip sitting here as well. I'll sell it to you for $280 + shipping, via eBay. I bought it for $290 about 3 weeks ago. You should also use "Bing Cashback" to get 8% cash back on the "Buy it Now". PM me if you're interested.

The Backflip is the hottest phone ever.. Lol. Good choice.

lol i dont know about the backflip being "the hottest phone ever" but i guess to each their own right

The fastest way

I am not going to add anything useful to the conversation. BUT....

While the Paypal dispute resolution center is a great thing. I think the fastest and easiest way to go about this is to get a freaking code. He has the phone there, there's no need to reship wait and buy another and so on. That is if he can get a code... That was the question.

Open a dispute, or spend $2.15, its not that expensive

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mattrb:
All you guys fail with your comments

I say he should ask him for the $3 to get a unlock code. He will probably say yes to avoid shipping costs of sending it back and the hassle of dealing with a return.

ebay

Hi,

I bought several times in Ebay from Argentina, I opened a dispute once and got my money back, but maybe, in this case, it's better to just unlock the phone in your hands.

Anyway, I'm willing to buy a phone, mainly for internet and email while traveling in Argentina. I want to buy an AT&T blackberry or similar. I know this unlocked phones do work for sms and calling, but I don't know if they work for Email and Internet or 3G: did you unlock your phone? does it work for Internet and Email?

Thanks

Hey guys question here. I bought a new Sandisk 8gb microsd class 6 cause my old sd was giving me 1mb sec....this one is giving me the same??? Any ideas??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rskx:
Does anyone know if the Galaxy S is supposed to transfer drivers when attached to a machine via usb? I've tried installing samsung usb drivers/multiple kies versions on both xp and windows 7 x86 machines however I've not once got the device installed. The first machine I tried it on did register the device Samsung_android had been attached however after factory resting it now appears as 'unkown. If it does install drivers, would it be possible to retrieve them from the galaxy s source? Would flashing the phone with a custom rom include the device drivers?

I would really appreciate any suggestions, I love the device but I've been trying to resolve this issue since I bought the phone :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tachikoma_kun:
By default it uses Kies when you connect it via USB, go into options - About Phone - USB Settings and choose "ask me what to do" then you can choose MTP to mount it as a USB drive, choose it as a modem, etc. You need to go into the slide-down notifications menu and click on MTP mode then. For Mac's you need to enable USB debugging as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rskx:
Thanks for your reply however I've tried connecting using each of the connection options. I am given the option to mount the internal SD card and lists 'MTP conneced' but the machine it's connected to still lists 'unkown device' within dev manager. I've also tried enabling USB debugging but even adb doesn't list the galaxy s.

Regardless of the device setting windows still displays 'device not recognized'. I've looked at the drivers within samsung\usb_driver but the folders are listed by development alias so its hard to determine which driver is for the i9000 :rolleyes: I read on a forum that someone had this problem and Samsung replaced the drivers on the galaxy, I'm not sure if that's true or it was some other fix but if the galaxy does provide the machine with drivers maybe I can extract them and install directly to the machine :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tachikoma_kun:
I don't have access to the NAND as I have not rooted it, but if you want I can do a directory listing of the internal SD and you can see what you are missing. I can then copy the files for you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rskx:
I like this community already, thanks mate but you don't have to go to the trouble. I returned the device to vodafone for a replacement. The replacement connected first time and I can now access the device without any problems :D

No doubt others will have this issues so...

Galaxy S "unknown Device" - If you have tried

Installing Samsung USB drivers for your operating system (There are both x86(32bit) and x64(64bit) versions of these drivers for windows.

Setting the Galaxy S to MTP on usb connect (Settings>About Phone>USB settings

Resetting your Galaxy S to factory settings (Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset)

Enabling usb debugging (Settings>Application>Development)

Formatting your internal SD card (Settings>SD Card..) Unmount before and re mount after formatting

Installing various versions of keis bloatware

and your Galaxy S is still listed as "unknown device" within windows device manager. Try taking it back to the store and asking for a replacement, this was the only step which worked for me and it worked first time :p Remember to explain all the steps you've taken and if you have to, ask for a demonstration of the device successfully connecting before you accept that there isn't an issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tachikoma_kun:
No worries, glad you are sorted now.

[XPERIA X2 General] mariusburcus:
Anyone encountered this bug in IGO8?

It looks like this:

Most of the time IGO8 works flawlessly, but recently I took a longer trip which required some driving breaks. The moment I cut the engine thus disconnecting the power, phone being connected to the car charger, IGO crashed. Started again without problems, however annoying enough to try to find a certain solution.

Hello, Mr nooby here.

Looking at the threads for upgrading everyone seems really nice and helpful, my brain is saying to me "you can do that".

But I have a couple of questions before I do, as I haven't found any answers to these.

Phone is o2xda 11 (htc himalaya)

Running it says on the about screen microsoft pocket pc version 4.20.0(build 13252)

proc is intel pxa263

The questions:

Do I need to get it unlocked from o2 before upgrading to wm5/6?

I have the cradle but no power supply to the cradle. Do I need one? (the xda charges from cradle when plugged into the usb)

Thanks in advance for your help.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] advanced15:
no you dont need to get it unlocked

but if u want to search for "xdadev_all_unlock-v1.6_138.exe" and run it on the phone.

not sure about the cradle but it should be evident if it wont work

YOu know how you can buy those little car chargers that broadcast an fm signal of what your phone/ipod is playing? well, does that evo have this capability? if so is there an app for this? I think this would be awesome
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barnacles10:
Could be wrong, but I don't think the evo has the necessary hardware to make this possible. I had a phone with a transmitter a while back, the LG musiq, and it had a separate antenna to broadcast.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Vandam500:
I wish the Evo had this! This is something the N900 has and externally it doesn't appear to have a extra antenna.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] biscodude:

According to this page from the broadcom website it does have a transmitter.

http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4329

The Broadcom BCM4329 integrates a complete IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n system (MAC/baseband/radio) with Bluetooth® 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate), and FM radio receiver and transmitter.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Housoft:
Popping my cherry on an app post.. should have been to thank Toast, hero, Flipz.. etc hah

I would kill for this. Okay, maybe not kill, but I'd definitely pony up some bucks for it. The crap FM transmitters you find at the store are overpriced and poor hardware.

I'm starting to get into creating apps with the end goal of authoring my own ROMs. If anyone can point me in the right direction (or if test subjects are needed), I'm not worried about borking my EVO :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] steb0ne:
This device http://direct.motorola.com/ens/carkits/learn-T505.html from Motorola works that way (I know it works on the Pre and other devices that can stream music over bluetooth)

Are u guys suggesting that something like this device be enabled from within the phone itself? If so, that'd be awesome!!! I'd pay for that too!!! (Cuz, I've been holding off on buying one of these, bt the price is going down, so I might get one soon)

Hi,

Can you please let me know which android phone has the most powerful GPS chip?

I want to develop a custom android navigation system and I want to deploy on a phone with very powerful GPS chip so it work everywhere.

thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Touch-ee:
I don’t know... But I would think if you are developing an app you would want to target the most sold/prolific android phones... regardless if they are the "most powerful" or not.

What if the most "powerful" is a phone that doesn’t sell much?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legolas.w:
The solution is GPS and positioning centric. At first I looked for Navigation devices but none of them is based on Java or Android so I can not develop my application for them.

I decided to use Android based cell phones as they both have GPS chip and I can develop application for them easily.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Touch-ee:
Ok cool... So focus on all the newer Android phones? HTC, Motorola... LG has a low end now...

You really want to just develop for the HD2 or Droid X? Would that even be practice or possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] legolas.w:
The customer will buy any device I ask for his employees, so I will have no problem regarding the application being locked for only one type of devices.

The only thing that I need is a Android based device with good GPS capability.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Touch-ee:
Ok.....

Well I find it hard to belive older devices would have better GPS...

I think all new phones probably have the same GPS capibilities?

Or look at the Garman?? Wouldn't the phone made by a GPS compnay have the best GPS?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Touch-ee:
I actually have a pretty good background in GPS. I can’t imagine what you are getting at. Either it’s just another GPS app that most phones can do or you are talking about an app that would do survey level GPS. That of course would require a base station and no phone would have that because it would be ridicules for any manufacture to make.

So what is it you are you trying to do?
