were you able to do this without paying for insurance? Or am I basically screwed without insurance?

Good luck with this third phone btw. I hate wiping to flash a rom, much less losing everything to a new phone.
[Droid Incredible General] Berzerker7:
Insurance is not a warranty. Insurance protects you past the warranty date and includes things like theft and accidental damage, which the warranty does not. The incredible has a 1-year warranty, in which you can return the phone for a replacement for hardware problems. You can purchase insurance with the new phone when you get it.
[Droid Incredible General] noahjk:
sorry if I'm a pest but I couldn't find anything on their website... where do I go about claiming an issue for warranty?

if I send it in can I keep the battery?
[Droid Incredible General] seanmcd72:
There is a huge thread about rebooting on the Verizon forums. Common issue.
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
Just to make sure: that is stock / original everything, right?
[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
Pretty much the same issue, but I'm serving as one of the test cases that will see if my decision to s-off four days prior to that is going to cost me. FRU will be here early next week and we'll see what they say when they receive my phone.
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
As long as it was bought from a authorized dealer just dial 611 explain whats happening(minus you rooting and what not) and they will send you a new phone you keep the battery since the new phone wont come with a battery and you set minus having a referb
[Droid Incredible General] falkien:
I am getting random reboots also. I am pretty convinced that there is something wrong with the phone itself. I have flashed every rom and kernel combo. It makes no difference. Not looking forward to refurbished hell! But if thats what it takes I guess that is what I will have to do.

Sent from DI
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Well

I did NOT want to send it in and lived with it for a while. Please let the voice of experience explain ... it is your phone. Likely a bad radio (physical radio, not the firmware your flashed). Regardless, it has not happened on my 2 subsequent Incredibles.

That said, please report back if VZW refuses your return (which could take a month in the form of a charge on your bill) because you ran S-OFF.
[Droid Incredible General] noahjk:
can you or anyone else tell me how long the phone will take to get here? i'm leaving for college in a week and don't want to be stuck without a phone because of this.

ps today my phone rebooted around 40 times, eventually pulled the battery. I put the battery back in before work but it rebooted again so I left it in the car; it was at 30% battery but was dead from rebooting when I came back out.

stupid.
[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
It takes 2-3 business days to get the FRU. Mine was shipped Fri or Sat and is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday delivery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihneagabriel:
So I have been rooted with unrevoked 3 for a while and today I got unrevoked forever and upgraded to the 2.15 radio.

I want to install the leaked OTA but i dont know where to start. Help?

Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrailBlazer31:
Little searching goes a long way.

But HERE you go.
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
Hi everyone.

I remember some user made a topic with same problem, but i am not able to find it.

Theres some weird solution, like when you mix oil with water, inside or on top of my LCD. its in middle of the screen and the touch itself doesn't work properly where that weird patch is.

I tried drying it up but to no avail. I placed it in front of an air heater 7 to 8 inches apart. without battery, with screen side in front and then back side in front. first for 15 mins then for quite a bit of time.

First it went away but it appeared again when i turned it on. Did the drying again but it came again after some time (<-- didn't count it) i didn't even put the battery in it this time. Now i cant just keep it off so i am using it.

Any proper solution to kill this water thingy between lcd?

don't tell me to open it and clean it. The sale value would go crapppyyy low.
[Touch2 General] hdr87:
Hi,

I think your device has newton rings (use search in this forum to get more details). If your case matches, then send in to HTC service, this is usually covered under warranty.

If your device is not under warranty, you'll need to change the digitizer.
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
NOO!

This is it! i am done with this crap. Now i need to spend money in this stupidity?!?!? i just spent loads of money getting new PC, now i have to somehow ask my dad to get this repaired ? :/ and he will kill me too. whot its been 5months i got his.

I use the scotch tape to clean LCD's, but never knew one can fix it this away. nop i didn't helped.

Tried lighter trick, nop didn't helped. It moved/disappeared then came back.

i am extremely angry and disappointed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kosmoskid:
I've tried the GPS on several of these ROMS, including the Stock 2.2 Leaks and have been unable to use GPS. The functionality of the 2.2 is great, but if I can't use Navigation and general GPS, it's bogus to me. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've Googled it several times and searched here, only to turn up brief mentions. From what I've gathered, it only affects a handful of folks, and I'm one of them.

I've been using the leaked OTA from 7/21 I believe, and have attempted to use CM and Incredible Does with no success.

Current kernel is 2.6.32.15-g936f65f
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecloudenback:
Check which Baseband you are using (Settings>About>Software). You are probably running 1.00.03.xx.xx

In order for the GPS services to work correctly with 2.2 you need to update to the 2.x radio. Instructions towards the bottom of the OP: forum.xda-developers [dot] com/showthread.php?t=737400

Sorry for the poorly formatted link. I'm still not authorized to post links.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrailBlazer31:
Try the 8-1 leak. That will upgrade your radio.

Here is the link

Also try this One of Hydra's Kernels
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kosmoskid:
Thanks. I will try these. I thought maybe I had done this before but doesn't hurt to try again.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
http://www.engadget.com/

If they are running the same gps hardware and theirs works, means its software .....

http://www.engadget.com/
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
So...the GPS hardware in the Vibrant and Captivate is identical to that in the Epic 4G, right?
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I sure hope so. If so it is 100% software
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Yeah, that's my concern. If the hardware is identical this is good news...if not it doesn't really help us much. :D

I wish they would give more info about GPS performance on the Epic...number of satellites locked, cold lock time with no aGPS, etc.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Yea true, but why would it be any different?

Not like in the month since they really got complaints would they have changed hardware...

I agree though. We need to know for sure if its the same hardware...
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Yeah, it's probably the same. I'm just slightly concerned that they might have done things a little differently 1.) because it's a CDMA phone and it might be a tad different anyway and 2.) because Samsung has likely known about the GPS issue since before the Galaxy S was released. I don't know if they would have had time to tweak anything in the Epic's hardware, but here's hoping they didn't. :)
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I just don't see what could be defective in our hardware causing a issue, could, but I just don't see it. Here's to hoping they kept things the same and just got it properly working.
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
I agree. When it works, it works well and it works fast. I've found that if I turn off wi-fi then turn it back on again it sometimes gets things to move. Or if I open TeleNav then exit again (before even seeing a map), the GPS seems to work for a bit. The fact that it is so intermittent makes me think it is software related. Hardware problems usually don't show up as working perfectly, then not at all, then sucking, then perfectly again.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
That's some good points, I mean how could that gps chip gets released not working? And why wouldn't it work? I believe they will fix this, especially if we find out the gps chip in the 4g is the same as the GSM ones.....

Roll it out with froyo early Sept and shock us all is my dream.lol
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
Trust but verify, as the man said said. So I want to see some rigorous testing by peers here before making a decision.

Nonetheless, the fact that Samsung would go on the record about the Epic is good news for Sprint. The fact that the statement is still weaseling about the September update to "optimize GPS performance" on the Vibrant and Captivate -- a different status than that bestowed on the Epic in the statement-- is a little troubling.

An optimistic reading of the statement might be that the reason Sprint delayed the rollout of the Epic -- and it apparently was delayed, according to the scuttlebutt on Sprint forums -- was to make time to incorporate the new firmware. That's what I would have tried to do, if I were Sprint management. Also, Sprint may have started sooner or accelerated the effort to ensure that the branded variant of the firmware was "tested and validated." Hopefully, T-Mobile and AT&T will also attain that status.

In my personal opinion, I find the general design and features of the Epic interesting compared to the Vibrant. Since my marriage vows to T-Mobile are not yet renewed, I might consider jumping to Sprint. But I wouldn't commit to either until I am convinced there is not a hard-stop GPS issue. One thing in Sprint's favor is that they offer a 30-day grace period for testing and trial, as opposed to T-Mobile's 14 days.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Why does every take the word "optimized" as bad? That's basically all of needs. I just don't see that as a negative statement ...

I for one hate keyboards.. the more moving parts the more hardware issues.. coming from a tp1 and tp2, I just don't like how buttons feel after a while . Tp1 keyboard died and the tp2 keyboard keys stopped working unless pressed hard.

U

I like the flash and the texturized back.. its cool... gonna be a rocking phone.

I definitely wouldn't change providers for the same phone, but that's me..

I just hope sprints is fixed and we got the same hardware.

I bet we got to wait now because samsung put all the Time in getting the sprints version out and working.. now hopefully its our turn..

Our waiting will pay off soon I'm sure of it.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
I agree. Perhaps they don't understand what it means. Just sayin. :)
[Vibrant General] cybertang:
I used the fix on the development section for stock roms and did exactly as it told changed servers cleared gps data and ran a test until i got atleast 10 gps sat locks now it rocks its literally all up in my cool aid now.

I always feel like somebody's watching me!
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Inconceivable!!!
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
well, apparently, the gps fix is now coming in the next few weeks according to engadget mobile via an anonymous t mobile rep.

It seems like Sprint rushed the new firmware to get the Epic out ASAP, while T Mobile and AT&T are taking their time to test the new firmware. Others have reported speed increases as well.

It would appear that t mobile is now testing the firmware. If this is the case, I would expect it sooner rather than later. Early to mid september now sounds very likely.
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
Actually, if you read the T-Mobile memo -- the part meant for internal consumption, not the quoted line to be given to customers -- it indicates that the final rollout to all end users might slip beyond September (my emphasis):
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bowsa2511:
Naked swype works BEAUTIFULLY!

Especially on these SAMOLEDS :D

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
:cool: No problem
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kagoshema:
nice themes

ill take a stab at some custom themes if anyone wants one and hoey is busy
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Just installed the Black Glass Swype, it looks and works great! Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jel7:
Thanks so much, the naked swype does look great!!!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bowsa2511:
Naked swype is the best one, since not only does it use the least battery, but it looks awesome with this screen!

Looks part of the phone lol
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
nakedswype is the version i use :D

also my own personal favorite

Also, like I noted in the OP, I was going to be posting in all galaxy s forums, which means that I will have individual threads for different phones. I will fulfill theme requests best I can for all of these, but if I have posted a requested keyboard on a thread for another phone, don't be shy, go on over to other forums and check the theme and app section, for galaxy s ;)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
Would you be able to link those threads here to save on search time? It would make cross referencing easier
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kraynes71:
Sorry, just a little confused here, how do I install the themes?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ghostfaceg35:
I used MetaMorph to apply one of the themes (black glass) and it says applied successfully but nothing has changed. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I'm on the JH2 ROM could that be why?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kagoshema:
got root?

try rebooting?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ghostfaceg35:
I'm rooted yes. By reboot do you mean just powering off and back on or doing something to soft reset like I would have to on WinMo (I just got my Captivate and went Android on Monday)? Metamorph didn't prompt to reset. I have turned the phone off and back on. To soft reset do I pull the battery out while powered on or??? Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kagoshema:
i mean just power off and power back on
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dangerdan:
I'm having the same problem. Applied the theme and nothing has changed, even after reboot.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dontshakepandas:
Same here.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ghostfaceg35:
Tried again using naked swype theme no luck. Metamorph asks for super user permissions and runs a check on start then I open the zip and apply it says applied successfully and exits and nothing changes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
Which superuser do you have installed. I found that if I were on the newer 2.3.2.1 it would not work. The only time I was able to have metamorph zip's work was if I was on the older superuser, the one with the ninja. Dont remember which version 1.8 or something like that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bowsa2511:
did you try restarting phone?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kakwvu:
Worked flawlessly for me on JH2. Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ghostfaceg35:
Yes I restarted the phone after applying.

What version of Superuser are you running? Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] kakwvu:
I'm not sure.. and I haven't found it looking by myself. How do I find the version number (I haven't figured it out yet)?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Aftashok:
is there a way to theme SwiftKey? cuz i also use it at times instead of Swype.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
i'm not familiar with swiftkey. the only reason these themes are so simple to make and use is because of Swype's unique approach to display, input, etc. I'm not sure if swiftkey operates the same way. I'll take a look at it if I get adventurous :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] r34p3rex:
Yea, no dice for me on JH2 + SU 2.3.2.1
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bowsa2511:
I think the problem persist with the new SU versions, personally I'm rocking the old V1.17.1
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
Not sure what SuperUser I'm using (whatever came with unleash the beast) and it's working great!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bowsa2511:
It's v1.17.1
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
I will be placing the links to all alternative threads in each thread, so like you said, it will be easier to navigate.

And I will update in the OP that the new version of SU doesn't seem to allow this theme to work. I will try and put up the compatible one ASAP.

EDIT: OP Updated with working SU.apk and cross links
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dangerdan:
How would I go about changing my superuser version? I can't find how to delete it off my phone and install the new one
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bowsa2511:
http://www.4shared.com/file/5S41PHav/Superuser.html

If you're rooted, just install that apk through computer sideloading, or by placing it on your phone, and using Astro, or any file manager to install it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ronandi:
Astro won't let me do this (only lets me launch current version or option to uninstall- which i can't do) and neither will Sideload Wonder Machine
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dangerdan:
Ha Im having the same problem here.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] richierich1212:
naked works great thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mmolo99:
These are all really great, but I would like to see one that looks like the stock Android keyboard. Is this possible?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dc41:
Tried the black glass on a JH3, rooted, with the downgraded SU. It didn't work.

But I'm also using a lag fix ext4. I wonder if that's what's causing the problem.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
The limitations of Metamorph right now are such that you can only theme system applications. Meaning, if your applications are located in an ext partition on an sd card, or loaded with the rest of your market apps, it won't work.

The Swype apk has to be in /system/app/

I wish I knew what the problem was with you guys on custom Roms, could be the location, the version... idk. I can't replicate the problem, no matter how I apply the theme. Most tweaks I make to replicate the issue give me the "invalid theme control file" or simply won't apply due to USB Debugging and Mock Locations disabled.

I am not trying to insult anyone's intelligence, but everyone that is having issues applying these themes should look at any of the many MetaMorph FAQs all over XDA, before blaming the issue on SU or the theme itself. Typically there is a very small thing stopping these kinds of things from working :P
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ronandi:
So basically if we are using a lagfix this won't work. Or is there any lagfix which will still allow this to work? I'm removing my lagfix right now so any replacement that doesn't break metamorph would be good.

Still doesn't work after removing EXT4 lagfix (w/ newest version of su - can't figure out how to downgrade). USB debugging is on. I didn't know you needed mock locations on (isn't that just for gps?), but turning that on didn't fix it either
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dc41:
If I understand you correctly, it is not just a matter of finding where our particular lagfix is moving the files and then modifying the script. Metamorph itself will only modify files in particular locations. Do I have that right?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
From what I understand about the lagfix, it uses the ext4 partition solely for data, so that it runs faster. The internal SD card on the Galaxy S is painfully slow compared to higher class cards. As long as the .apk file is located in /system/app/ it won't matter where data for the app is stored. So, the lagfixes shouldn't affect the ability for these to apply or not. Many of the people I have seen complain about the Morphs not working are on custom ROMs. I am on Eugene's Vibrant6, and thought I have some experience with android, I am not a programmer and have no clue how to determine the differences between firmwares and versions that are causing some Galaxy phones to be able to apply and some not to.

The thing is, I have heard success in the Vibrant, Captivate, and I9000 forums, obviously none in the Epic and Fascinate forums b/c they haven't been released :p I honestly feel that failure of application is a user end issue. None of the files I have provided have failed on my Vibrant, or any of my friends' Captivates or Vibrants.

There is an .xml file located in the .zip file provided that you download. That .xml file is a theme control file that tells metamorph where to apply what changes. That is what controls what you are talking about. Now, it says in the description for Metamorph in the market, that market apps cannot be modified. More specifically, this means that only apps located in /system/ can be modified. This includes framework-res which as a whole makes up the complete look of your phone as you see it (notification bar, popups, etc). If the apk itself is moved from system/app, then it cannot be themed.

I suggest making a copy and placing it in /system/app, then applying the theme, and seeing what happens. I had a similar problem in the G1 forums, but I just don't feel like going through that all over again unless it is completely necessary.

and in the future folks, please don't just say "doesn't work"

That's useless. Wasting post space helps no one get anywhere.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
I can say for fact that the new superuser causes all issues with the morph's not working. I have asked many times and brought this up as the issue. I say this because I have tried SU 2.3.2.1/2.3.2/2.3.3 with no luck getting them to work. That is also trying from a fresh root with not lag fix or anything, on JF6/JH2/JH3.

The morphs do work, but you need to have the older SU version. Now I am not sure why when trying to load the older SU over the top of the newer SU it will not work. I am having the same issue and might try to do a one click unroot and see if that will freeze my phone or not.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
Darn, not sure these work on JH3. I got naked swype on JF6, and it worked beutifully. On JH3, even on an older SU, I can't get them to work at all. Is there any suggestions of what I may be doing wrong (I'm opening the xml and applying) or maybe anything I can give you to help you port? I am not running a lag fix at all. Just rooted, un-lag-fixed-old-SU-using JH3.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with any of the Captivate ROMS, and don't know the differences between the two builds you are referencing. As long as you have SU, the Swype.apk located in /system/app/ , and the correct version of Metamorph and a theme from this thread, everything should work correctly. It could simply be that the Swype.apk is located in a different place.

For those of you who can't get the themes to apply, use this command to determine if your Swype.apk is in the right place:

Terminal Emu:

su
ls /system/app

ADB:

adb shell ls /system/app

or

adb shell
su
ls /system/app
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nickbarbs:
I can confirm also that

1.) this no longer works in JH3 where it worked in the stock first captivate rom FH6 or whatever

2.) Swype.apk is located in /system/app

3.) metamorph confirms applicatoin of theme but it doesnt work when I load up the swype keyboard (no change.)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
Well it seems that this is a case of which particular feature you want more, at least until this issue is fixed in your builds.

Are my themes the only metamorphs not working on these builds?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fox945:
I'm using JH3 and it works just fine but wouldn't when I was using JH3 with SRE 1.1a. Had to flash back to stock JH3 and apply a standalone root which i'm attaching and installing busy box from the market. Once I got both of those I installed Metamorph and it worked just fine.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
If anyone can confirm with some certainty this fix works, let me know and I'll update the op with instructions and the files
[Captivate Themes and Apps] digitalnrg:
I'm a total nob to Android. My Captivate is rooted and would like to install these swype themes but can't figure out how. Can someone please help what should I do with the zip file? Thanks so much!

I figured out how to install it ;)
