Your opinion is good basically, i admit that, but the problem here, i have to loose more than $40 sending him back the phone with a tracking #, if i send back without a tracking #, the seller can say that he never accept the package (no prove).

And the most important thing that the seller can just report "something lie" as he did lie already in the auction.

For example, the seller can just report that the phone "Dead On Arrival" or can be anything ( i can not think right now), just really dissapointed, and feel i have just to loose my money.

You can see in the email, how can i trust again a seller like this.

He said he didn't trust me (a person who never did anything wrong), and from his email, he want me to trust him to send him back the phone.

I just feel , the person can not really be trusted anymore.

And until now, the seller don't respond anymore to my email.

hand over the case to ebay, they will pay for shipping also and give you a label, i had this problem and i escalated it to ebay, they pay for the shipping, and i think it was sent to ebay
[Off-topic] Diamond_dawg:
also say you dont trust the seller to ebay, it should, make calls and pursue them with lots of calls, it helps
[Off-topic] vrooomz:
already opened a case in Ebay, and Ebay decision, will give a full refund without the shipping cost from me to the seller, once the item received by the seller.

But i am just afraid the seller would do "something lie" again (who knows), as he did in the auction.

Just really ridiculious to advertised "NIB PHONE" but send a phone as you see on the picuture. Too far away from NIB.

Now trying to work it out by asking the seller to give me partial refund, but the seller don't anwer my email anymore.

Hmmm very difficult, i tried already to choose the seller from his feedback, but his feedback don't represent well.

He has 100%, i have 100% feedback too.
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
Phone ebay and tell them that you don't trust him to send it back, that should help push it down the course diamond_dawg said.

You shouldnt loose money on this.

if you stop shouting like a child whos sammich was took out of his hands , ebay might side by you
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
I thought that as soon as I botheed to look at the screenshots.

Caps Lock isn't clever. You can loose arguments purley on the use of caps lock. It makes as if you're shouting, and as that is what you are doing, I'm not too surprised the seller is a little bit skeptical. Whilst I do not agree with him selling the item as he has, I think you will have much more luck if you try and use sentence case and actually not shout.

It also takes longer to read as it is not as easy for the eyes and mind to processes...

That being said. Let us know how it goes with sorting this issue out. I'm sure eBay will listen if you act like an adult and do not use caps to them.

And you're going to risk 135$+ for $40 shipping?
[Off-topic] vrooomz:
You are abosultely correct, i was wrong by using that capslock, but at that time, i just really could not control my finger, my fault.

Just felt angry when i bought a New In Box Phone but got a phone like in the picture.

$150, it is much money and it is small money, it is just depends for who, for me, i am doing this all for a living, that's why i just angry unrealizedly.

Btw : thank you all for your input, i am still waiting for these few hours for seller to respond, if he doesn't reply, i will think again, sending him back the phone is not a good choice in my mind, i could even loose $40 shipping + $135 the phone + first shipping cost (anything i don't imagine can happen if i send him back the phone as already happened when i bought that phone)

1 last feedback for this seller at this time from another buyer "Never received item. Possible post problem? Either way, I'm disappointed. :("

Making a phone call to Ebay is really a good suggestion, but the problem is my english is not good enough in speaking, so it will be difficult too for me.

This is just a hard way for me to learn that there are few out there who can sell a phone like that but stated "New In Box", i just really can't imagine if he has "a feeling" (may be this word is not correct to represent what i mean)

Anyway, i really appreciate all of your input all and one most important thing, you are all make me realize "to act wiser", thank you very much for that especially "capatinstu72" and i respect all of you here.

Even though wiser sometimes need our full patience, i mean for example if $150 for a person is not really much money, it could just "forget it" , but if $150 so worthed for someone to make a living, it is just need more effort to be patience.

It will be not so hard if something like this happened to a person who have a lot/enough money, but for someone who don't have that, they have to work hard again to make that $ back.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aln688:
1) How do I remove hard linked files on the X10 Android file system? I also need to identify them with the "ls" command, but it doesn't work the same as linux by listing the count in the ls listing of hard links to a specific file. The reason is, when I try to move a file in /system/app, it tells me it failed due to cross-device link - likely because the OS knows the link will fail if I move the file to my /sdcard directory. I want to remove the hard-link.

2) Is there a listing of all the options available to the commands in the /system/bin directory? It seems the ls command, for example, is a stripped down version of the ls that comes with linux.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] dan-htc-touch:
what method are you using to move the files in system/app? you should be able to move them using root explorer, or copy out using dd if= of= statements then rm, the xperia system does not seem to like cp and mv commands :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aln688:
I'm using:

mv /system/app/Facebook.apk /sdcard/backup/system/app

...it fails. A dd works, because it just does a block copy and doesn't move the file. I'll try moving it with Root Explorer.

I'd prefer an actual command instead of using an app on the phone, as I've connected the phone to my PC with the USB cable and using adb.exe.

FYI, I tried Root Explorer, for some reason it can move the file just fine! My phone is rooted and I'm running the adb shell with super-user access.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] biktor_gj:
use this:

busybox ls -l

busybox cp

busybox mv

Or even better, use "busybox --install /system/bin" and let it install all the symlinks for you :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] aln688:
Thanks for the tip, you've just explained what busybox is. I always wondered why Titanium Backup wanted Busybox for it to run properly. I'll try these commands out.

UPDATE: Nice, I get VI as well! I was wanting that. I got fedup editing a file on the PC and pushing it back to the phone. Thanks.
[Desire General] tommo123:
i thought it was something else at first, but now i've tried 2 roms with no titanoum backup installed. i sign in, go to market, choose the free one and it's already downloading - but stalled. i click cancel and the market force closes.

at this point i've done nothing. the phone is setup, i sign into my gmail account and go straight to TB and this happens.

anyone have an idea what's up?
[Desire General] Dragooon123:
Worked fine for me? I just downloaded 2 apps(Paper Toss and Sudoko Free).

[Desire General] tommo123:

i'm wondering if it's the auto update?
[Off-topic] rowanparker:
Hello,

I know this is a forum for phones but it's the main forum I use so I thought I'd try here first but apologises if I'm wrong.

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D-22E running Ubuntu. It overheats quite regularly. I've set up a script to tell me when the CPU gets too hot (currently it goes off at 95C - auto shutdown is 100C). I know 95C is way too hot but I can't use my computer in a way I like without letting it get that hot (iPlayer being the main thing I want to do).

I've been researching it and it seems to be most likely that the fan is clogged up. Now I've cleaned desktop fan's before but I'm a bit puzzled of how to get into this laptop. I've attached two pictures, one of the back and one of the front. On the back, I unscrewed all the little screws and nothing happened. I was kinda hoping it'd all fall apart but no.

Would someone with a little more knowledge on the subject me able to direct me what to do? The manual is useless and I've searched around but there isn't a specific guide. I'm not totally inept but some clues would be nice :)

Thanks in advance, Rowan.

P.S. Just being on firefox and using amsn and its running at 71C!
[Off-topic] chris10230:
Ok well there are too ways

1.

Disassemble the whole thing then find the CPU fan, take it out clean. Very difficult, and also possibly end in laptop death (I did that to an old vaio, they attached the processor the the heatsink assembly by glue, clever...)

2.

You can get some compressed air in a can, blow that in the fan output port and it should dislodge some dust. But cannot be sure so if you do it while it is on the dust will blow out of the output.

You can also try blowing it into the fan input on the bottom, in your picture i think its the circle on the top right.

That should help the problem, i have seen myself that a 3-5 yr old laptop do have a large dust build up and therefore it ends up becoming more difficult to dislodge. I would go for the air can first and see what happens, if you fix it then great, if not then the only route is the disassemble one i am afraid.

Cheers
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Canned air is good, but if you can get your hands on one, air compressor. Much more pressure. I have this a lot since I work at a computer repair shop. Also you would have to make sure the fan isn't dead completely. Also don't try to take it apart yourself. Trust me, I dod this a lot and it's pretty hard to take it apart without ripping cables and then actually putting it back together. It's a huge PITA. Also you can just send it to me and I'll fix it ;)
[Off-topic] rowanparker:
Thank you for the replies guys. I am finding it difficult to get into. How do I even know what should come apart? I've seen guides where you go under the keyboard but I just don't know. But you've now given me second thoughts. My university will fix computers for free (apparently) so I may ask them to look at it instead. I've done this with desktops before as I said but it's my first laptop so I'm a bit of a novice. Is canned air something that I could find easily? I'd rather try sort it myself and if I took it in I'd have to leave it there which isn't what I'd want to do! It's only a year old so I'm not overly impressed! Thanks, Rowan.
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
Canned air is on ebay. You should be able to pull up the rear cover where you would access the ram and CPU, the fan should be around there. And being a year old will make no different to a clogged fan - it depends a lot on where you have it running, as it does with a PC.

Also, don't let it die at 100c, that is very bad for the CPU and you will be shortening the life drastically.
[Off-topic] rowanparker:
I'll try canned air then before I take it in anywhere. Seems too hard to do it myself by going inside. And I try not to let it die at a 100C but if I'm not concentrating then it can happen. Thanks, Rowan.
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
Even for short term get one of the external fan base things.
[Off-topic] SXUsr:
I open my Vaio every 6 months to give it a clean out and would recommend all laptop owns do as the main culprit for overheating is a clogged air vent.

That is similar to what I first pulled out of mine, the rectangular shaped dirt is like a felt strip that sits across the main vent so canned air will only work if there isn't that much blocking the vent in the first place, but if it's like in the image the laptop will need to be opened to get rid of it.

What model number is your laptop?
[Off-topic] rowanparker:
That looks like a hell of a lot! I think that will be my problem. Its a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300D-22E (unless you wanted anythign more specific?). Looks like I'll have to take it in somewhere then i can just keep it attended to with the compressed air that i've already bought now. If I took it in somewhere, any idea how much they'd charge for something like that?
[Off-topic] SXUsr:
More than likely, that's about as much as I pulled out after the first 2 years of use, which is why I open it up now every 6 months to give it a good clean and keep on top it.

Shouldn't be too much just to clean it out. You could have a look HERE, I've just had a look but there isn't a complete guide for your model, but it's worth having a browse.
[Off-topic] !PANDA:
Well i got extra fans (on a stand off ebay)..£3 and it never overheats! I too have a Toshiba (P300 16T)

Looks like something I should also invest in then!

I'll have a look around, and a think, and I'll get it sorted out soon.

Thanks for the replies!
[Off-topic] rowanparker:
Just an update. I was watching iplayer (QI for anyone concerned) and the temp was pushing 95C. My flatmate blew into fan and it dropped to 60-70 odd. Iplayer stopped and it dropped below 50C. Seems its sorted for now. I'll give it a go with the compressed air too. Cheers.

[Droid X General] SysAdmNj:

Oh yea, forgot about clockwork lol.

What do you mean install roms? This is what I dont get, I thought the bootloader was locked and you cant install custom roms etc?
[Droid X General] MrDanger:
You can install roms WITHOUT the kernel. They did not lock down the SYSTEM files.

Birdman found a very low level exploit to BYPASS the bootloader (hence Rom Manager & Clockwork). So we can get around it to install system files and what not.. but no deeper than that. The bootloader is still locked.
[Fascinate Android Development] andrewblanejr:
I used the odin stock TARs, incorrectly. I think they were supposed to be applied one at a time using the PDA button only, and in conjunction with the PIT file. I unfortunatly also used the PHONE and CSC buttons...which rendered my fascinate unable to connect to the cell network. so... does anybody have a TAR intended for use with the fascinate for the PHONE and CSC buttons? can anyone explain what these two buttons are? I DO HAVE several working stock fascinates with me, so can anyone point me in the direction of capturing correct ODIN tars from these phones for use on my broken phone? THANKS SO MUCH in advance!
[Fascinate Android Development] Njzkrish:
Did you try redoing the Odin directions to get to stock?
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Sorry. You're SOL. This is why "DON'T USE THE PHONE BUTTON" is posted everywhere. :( If it was as simple as extracting modem.bin / bml12 from a good device, we would have done it many weeks ago.

There's nothing to be done at this point, you need to exchange the phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] andrewblanejr:
Yup. I did. No go.
[Fascinate Android Development] andrewblanejr:
Odin: Do not use the phone button in odin

Right. So I do understand this is my fault, but i did not see such a warning in the Fascinate-specific or even ODIN specific articles that I found. There was only one article I found that said not to use the PHONE BUTTON, but i can't even remember where it was and i found it too late.

In some cases of non-fascinate (ie. Galaxy i9000 and older Samsung phones) articles there are specific instructions to actually use the PHONE BUTTON for modem.tar.

SO can the following threads (which are obviously very popular) be updated to reflect this warning and in the case of the more specific ODIN stock restore thread (fallingup/angel12), can we see an update that includes instructions on what to do with all 3 TARs and the 1 PIT?

I don't want to complain (luckily for me this was an extra destined-to-be-returned phone), but I do think that some very small post edits could help prevent other people from ruining their phones.

OH, and what about the CSC button, what does that do? and How do we back .TARs with ODIN? I have seen many people ask these questions, and very very few responses...anybody?

Best,

Andrew
[Desire General] Scott M:
I've searched and read guide after guide and I'm getting absolutely nowhere. I have tried to partition using ADB, I have tried to partition using a new Recovery image but I can't even change it.

Am I the only person who is having this trouble?

Can anyone see where I am going wrong....

Phone was modified using unrevoked3 and has Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 on it.

I have downloaded the SDK for windows package and extracted it to C:\Android I then run CMD in administrator mode, go to the directory and type 'adb shell'... works fine so I then disconnect and then type 'adb shell reboot recovery' and I get 'reboot: no such tool'. I have also tried rebooting the phone into recovery mode myself but when I try to connect to it via 'adb shell' it tells me there is no device (It shows in the device manager just the same as it did before). Screeched to a halt there.

Next I thought I would change the recovery image to "RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5". According to the comments in the thread I can use unrevoked to install this image. I run the program select the image, plug the phone in and away it goes. After 10 mins of it saying "waiting on root, you can safely reboot" or something like that I gave up and took the battery out as nothing was happening.

Where am I going wrong here? I am only trying to get an EXT3 partition onto the phone so that I can put the apps on there and having it run faster.

This is a VERY brief runthrough of what I have done. I have been searching for about 10 hours in total, reading guide after guide and trying to follow them. I don't even get past the first couple of steps and there is an awful lot of wrong and old information out there.

Oh, as a side note. Is there any way to have the OS boot up in 10 seconds like Sense on the desire z?

Thanks for any help, I'm at my wits end.
[Desire General] dexteral:
if you r rooted download Rom manager from market and select partition SD card

secondly u can get fast boot if you flash the hd Rom in Android development section
[Desire General] iL_FeD:
'adb shell reboot recovery' written in only one line leads you to nowhere, you should open the shell with 'adb shell' and then issue the command 'reboot recovery' (never used that last one so I don't know if it works).

Appart from that you should do what is said in the above post, just download ROM Manager and partition your SD from there (you will need to go back to clockworkmod, but I think you don't need to do unrevoked again since you are already root)
