I always amaze the sprint peeps when im up there.. kinda like going to best buy friday.. My wife needed a cheap laptop for nursing school.. they kept pushing those crappy netbooks..then the warranties.. then add virus this and that, etc.. Im like go so mad.. I told that lady.. hey we will take this crappy laptop thats on sale..she doesnt want a netbook.. and everything else u can keep... she got mad.. I was like she only needs the laptop.. dont need a stupid warranty nor your stupid geek squat!!!thats a waste of money... She was like well what will u do when i breaks.. I will ah u know fix it.lol

Same thing goes for sprint people in the store.. that dont know crap... the evo will do this and that. Im like true but why when my hero does everything i want it to!!! oh. your still on the old ass hero.lol etc.. some people I tell ya..

point is.. dont buy from stupid people,lol hahah ok sorry rant over.. meds have kicked in..
[Hero CDMA General] quantumtransfer:
My understanding of the new law that was passed is..

Carriers can't withhold unlock codes for your devices. Hacking or disrrupting the software otherwise beyond the code will void the warranty. Which is why if you call up and ask for the MSL (i think, not sure what the name was for it) they will just give it to you.

Edit: After reading some posts, seems like it will void your warranty with HTC. otherwise sprint doesn't care.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
sprint doesn't give two ****s. 90% of the techs i know have rooted phones anyways.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
to my understanding it didn't anymore. if your right hopefully that will change.
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
While Sprint doesn't care, it does still void warranty with Sprint. Root your phone we don't cover you. Just like a car, modify it and warranty is voided. It would be silly for a company to try and warranty each and every single home manufacture modification.... they would lose millions replacing phones
[Hero CDMA General] mrakattack:
Dude, same thing happened when i went to my local sprint store. But i went in to complain about lack of official froyo. Pulled out my hero and did the same thing. Fanboys......@ sprint store, lawlz
[Hero CDMA General] DirtyShroomz:
You went into a Sprint store to complain about lack of Froyo for the Hero? I woulda hated you're ass.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
it all depends on what tech you get and what store you go to. ive had techs show me their custom roms before. most are tech geeks like us, they don't give a ****. now if i were to send my phone back to sprint i would run the RUU. and believe it or not sprint knows very well about xda and the good work that goes on here. **** htc should hire some of ours guys.
[Hero CDMA General] Phireman:
From what I've read about the recent library of congress ruling all that changed was it is no longer illegal to jailbreak our devices. It was previously a crime under the DMCA to jailbreak our phones, and your phone manufacturer/service provider could sue you for jail breaking or rooting. (A bunch of BS if you ask me!)

While it is now legal to root/jailbreak you might still be violating the warranty or your carriers terms of service. I've read that Sprint was cracking down on people that rooted and installed the wireless tethering app. (also more BS if i'm paying for wireless data, then let me F*ing use it!)

[Hero CDMA General] michavez07:
im a sprint employee, luckily for me i do know this however what they teach you at these things solely based on what the guy above you that trained you knows...in most of these cases they dont know much away from what they read in the manuals...once in a while you get a savvy employee such as myself that knows more than what they teach you...if it wasnt for the fact that the guy running my center has been with sprint for 11 years and doesnt want a corporate job i think i would run that center but thats a different story involving politcs....long story short...it depends which store and who you speak to..
[Hero CDMA General] mrakattack:
I didn't complain. I went in wanting to but the tech/sales guy I talked to wanted all the info about getting froyo on his hero. I hooked him up and pointed him to xda. He was scared he was going to brick his phone. I told him just follow the instructions and you'll be fine. Should go back up they and see how he did.

[Hero CDMA General] brownmetal:
I concur w/ micavez07. I work at a sprint kiosk and some of the people I work with would look at you cross-eyed if you brought a hero in running live wallpaper. I personally use a hero running cm6 as my daily phone.
[Hero CDMA General] Krojian:
I almost started a new thread, but then decided my story wasn't quite funny enough to get it's own thread, so here it is:

Phone broke about a month ago. The screen's colors suddenly went all wacky. When I touched the screen it was even worse. Tried a few different resets, nothing worked. Finally took it in this morning to the local Sprint store. I pay for the TEP. They take my phone into the back room and a bit later a guy comes out and says that there is no water damage, so they can replace it for free. They say it'll take about a week before they get my new phone and that they'll call when it comes in. They then give me my phone back. I turn back on my phone and get in my car to go to work. Phone starts making that beeping sound that says it's coming in and out of service. Then it finally decides that I have no service and I get the circle with the bar slash through it. So i turn it on and off, take out the battery, even do a factory reset. Finally I call the Sprint store and ask them what they did to my phone. It ends up they disconnected my attena when they were checking to see about water damage. Now I get to go back to the store on my lunch. Pretty funny, right?

Actually, I'm not laughing.....should i try to get a credit or something for the inconvience?
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
You have all the right to ask for a credit since THEY did it. Complain nicely buy also don't back down. They'll want to make you happy before you leave and lose business.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ribben:
Hello guys. I am the owner of a x10 mini...Yes yes i know pro is better but if i have gone for pro i would have to wait 5 days until the shop bring it. So my question is that x10 mini pro can turn the home screen into landscape mode why x10 mini can't??? Any of you any idea how to fix this???

Thanks in advance

My regards,

Ribben
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LeeRiley:
It can, simply goto settings, sound and display and tick the box branded 'Orientation'!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knd:
I think he is asking about the home screen. If it's the home screen (widgets/clock) I think there is no landscape.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ribben:
Sorry guys my mistake.... Indeed i mean the home screen!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LeeRiley:
I knew what he was asking about and my statement still applies
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
I've tried it on my X10 mini, and whilst that option happily lets everything else display in landscape mode, the Default S.E. homescreen steadfastly refuses.

Other homescreens (such as ADW Launcher) go into landscape correctly, so I guess it's either a limitation of the default homescreen, or there's some other option hidden away.

The mini pro's default homescreen does do landscape quite happily, however, presumably because it'd be weird when using the hardware keyboard otherwise!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LeeRiley:
Ahhh I see, I'm using adwlauncher that's why, sorry for my misunderstanding. Haven't got a clue, however I hope you get this sorted

I'm assuming you can't do it, but maybe a fix for it Xmas be developed?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ribben:
thanks all of you guys for your support!!! Yes i know adw launcher and it's only drawback is beacause i also use beautiful widgets when i enter in landscape mode the home weather widget is getting messy...

My regards,

Ribben
[General Questions and Answers] regdude:
Hi!

I have been looking for a working chinese chekers game for my Samsung B7610, but only I have found is www[dot]getjar[dot]com/mobile/14056/hexstarboard-legacy-for-samsung-gt-b7610-omniapro

It's actually a good version, but there is a problem - it's a demo version.

That also wouldn't be a problem if I could simply buy this game, but I can't find anything about this game.

Could someone give me a link to get full version of this game?

Or maybe another version that will work on touch screen?
[Vibrant Accessories] dee32181:
The other day I was playing with my father in laws evo 4g and I realized something. How hard can it be to petition these case companies to make a battery cover with a built in kickstand like the evo 4g has. I dont care about the added bulk as long as it makes it easier for me to watch movies. The body glove cases dont count because they are either too obtrusive as far as screen access or dont offer enough protection. I repeat, I am talking about a battery cover, not a case. So lets hear what your ideas are, if we get enough responses maybe we can organize a campaign to have it made with Quirky or some other manufacturer.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
While this would be nice we need to jump the first hurdle and that would be getting an extra battery cover made. I think this could be a real business opportunity with all these phones and gorilla glass cases will be less and less appealing and users will go more and more for customized battery covers. In our case the battery cover is the entire back so we can change the entire phone with one item.
[Vibrant Accessories] dee32181:
So what we need is someone who is able to build a prototype that can be a starting point for modifications. So do we have any takers. I am good with electronics but I dont have any practical knowledge as far as machining goes. How awesome would it be to have a soft touch plastic or aluminum battery cover with a kickstand.
[Vibrant Accessories] talltexan:
same here i have tried to build a few prototypes before and ended up breaking them in half. The only thing is this battery case would have to add some thickness due to the fact that the battery case is so thin.

Are you thinking more like the Evos kick stand or body gloves? If i recall correctly the kickstand is build into the phone for the evo and the case only goes around that rather than as a part of the battery cover itself.
[Vibrant Accessories] dee32181:
More like evo's but it could be a part of the cover instead of some sort of snap on accessory, the added thickness wouldnt bother me, it would also address one of the vibrants main problems, its weight. I would love to have a cover that made the phone feel more substantial.
[Vibrant Accessories] kboater:
im in dental school and have access to materials that we use to make custom bleaching trays and custom impression trays. If i had the free time, i would try to make a custom battery cover with built in kick stand. Im sure with some time (and a little money) I could make something.

Problem is, being in dental school, I have 0 free time. anyway, if someone wants to try to make one, my suggestion would be to look up some dental materials used to make custom trays and play around with them yourself. If anyone is interested going this route, ill get the name of the material im talking about

[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
I would love a kickstand replacement cover. Hell Id love just a replacement cover. I start to drool when I think of one with a nice tacky rubber back. Like a gecko pad or ribbed rubber fins that would make the thing far less likely to slip out of you hand. This thing is so slick that I was typing a text and my wife sneezed across the room and the SOB flew right out of my hands.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeph36:
I decided to get in on the Android experience and bought a used G1 off ebay. When I got it (supposedly unlocked, but it wasn't :mad:) it was running Cupcake 1.5 with the CRC1 build. One oddity that was stated in the auction listing is that the phone would not do a Factory Reset. When I tried it, it would go to the rainbow boot screen, but I could restart it (both a battery pull or a Menu/Home/Power press) to get back to life. I read several pages, both here and at cyanogen's page to make sure I would do the root process correctly with the eventual goal of getting this thing to cyanogen's Froyo 2.2 version. Needless to say, it has failed ... at step 1 no less. I reformatted the SD card (a 2 GB SanDisk) to FAT32 with WinXP, loaded the DREAIMG.nbh file, and rebooted the phone. The gray screen with blue text came up for the reflashing process, so I hit Power to continue. The "Update in Progress..." text shows and the bar moves until completion. After pausing momentarily at the end of the progress bar, it shows:

00018003

DREAIMG.nbh - FAIL

BOOTLOADER - OK

RECOVERY - Fail

BOOT -

SPLASH1 -

SYSTEM -

USERDATA -

RADIO_V2 -

Update Terminate

UPDATE FAIL

The rainbow boot screen says:

DREA100 PVT 32B RUUNBH

HBOOT-0.95.0000

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Sep 2 2008

Serial0

The phone will now not boot past the rainbow screen. Note that if I have an SD Card with the flash image in the phone that it will go to the flash screen even if I do not hold the camera button (maybe that is normal). I searched Google for "00018003 "Recovery - FAIL"" and even it can not find any one who apparently is having the same problem.

I have repeated the update attempt several times with identical results. I downloaded the file multiple times from different locations, but the md5 has always matched regardless of where I get it from. I reformatted the card from Linux (Ubuntu) and I tried another SD Card (8 GB AData). Does anyone have any ideas on what to try? I am adept with Linux, but am a newbie to Android.

Thanks.

How much is your phone charged...charge it full and then try again....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeph36:
I obviously can no longer see the meter in Android. I charged it with the phone off to a green LED and still get the same result.

Possible other relevant information:

When charging from my computer with the phone off, the LED is red, not orange. I did not notice this at first as I have not had the phone long enough to know what is "normal".

If I power up with the USB connected to my computer, the rainbow screen looks almost identical except it does not have the text "Serial0". If I unplug USB then that text appears after a couple seconds. Does that mean I can get do some serial communication that would help with the problem?

Are you sure you have the right dreamimg.nbh file? There is 2 of them. Did you put .zip after it?

sent from my superfroyo dream
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeph36:
I used cyanogenmod's wiki (and other pages with identical or similar instructions) which indicates to name the file exactly DREAIMG.nbh, so that is what I did. Is there a different reason I should use .zip? I also chose to do RC29 as I am assuming this phone is a US phone (I purchased from a US seller). Is there an easy way to tell which phone I have (US or Europe)? Should I try RC7, or will that completely brick the phone if it is the wrong version?

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx12thANG3LxX:
No you won't brick the phone. I don't know what version you'd want. I'm in usa. Never had to deal with the other. The only way you'll brick your phone is by messing with danger spl 1.33.2005 just remember if you downgrade. It changes your spl and radio. The whole package. Then you want to flash radio back to 2.22.23.02. Or 26I in your case. Before flashing danger spl. But your not even there yet. Yeah make sure you have a .zip after dream nbh file on root of your sd card. Before flashing.

sent from my superfroyo dream
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeph36:
Well that answers that question. I tried the RC7 for Europe and after the "Loading..." and "Checking..." stages it shows:

0028002

Not allow

and drops back to the rainbow. So I definitely have a US phone as expected.

What is the .zip file that I should have on my SD card? I do not see that in the instructions to get to the state where my phone is rooted.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx12thANG3LxX:
Just make sure before you flash the dream nbh you have a .zip after it before you flash it

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeph36:
I am still not sure what you mean by the .zip. I tried renaming DREAIMG.nbh to DREAIMG.nbh.zip, but that could not find a file for updating. Then I tried putting a .zip file on the sdcard at the same time as the DREAIMG.nbh file and that did not help. So if you could shed some light on that, maybe I can make some headway.

I am not sure what you mean. I have only tried to downgrade to the RC29 image as the first step toward rooting the phone.

I never got a solution. As that phone was mostly just a temporary Android experiment for me, I gave up and got myself a new Samsung Vibrant. I still have the G1, though, if anyone has a solution ... Otherwise it will probably go on eBay as a non-working/bricked/for-parts phone.
