If the screen is busted, they won't be able to see what you ahve done. Also, it is not like you fried the phone due to something you flashed. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewb19:
I've sent 3 rooted Droids back to Verizon before I switched to the Incredible, you should have nothing to worry about
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] made.psycho:
I wouldn't worry half as much. The only thing I would worry about is the fact that your gonna send it in and can't do anything to change s-off.. What if they change the screen thinking they can just perform a factory data reset and BAM! they are presented with some custom rom with superuser capability.. And then your account get's hit up with full retail ($529.99US). For some people that can be a large sum of money.

I'll pray with you that is not the case.. I hope you simply receive your replacement phone problem free. I know what it's like to have a cracked screen luckily for me it happened before I jumped the fence into the world of unrevoked forever..

In the future I would check out otterbox(.)com/htc-droid-incredible-cases/htc-droid-incredible-cases,default,sc.html
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nat4mac:
sorry 4 hijackin'.....

so is it covered under warranty to get a replacement if I dropped the phone and scuffed it up pretty bad?

(It's still operating, but the scuffs make pretty unpleasant to use)

Oh, and is it 9 months for the warranty?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
No. What's likely happening is that the VZW rep is referring to an Asurion claim as a warranty even though it's insurance. Warranty only covers manufacturer defects, and does not include cosmetic damage that we inflict ourselves.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nat4mac:
gotcha...thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyplayr:
if it's the insurance, does it even matter if it's rooted or not? can't you just pay the deductible and get the new phone. I know they told me i can run mine over with a car and essentially throw it in the river and for $90 i get a new one.

Anyone know of any nice minimal looking power control widgets? I.e. BT, WiFi, GPS, brightness. Either individual widgets for each toggle or a bar style.

I would like something that blends nicely with tajm, and battstatt, bit doesn't necessarily need to be text based, icons are fine.
[Android Apps and Games] theEastonator:
SwitchPro - turn off the background and it's clear.

Widgetsoid - Very nice free alternative. Frequently updated.
[Android Apps and Games] sam_a200:
Thank you for mentioning widgetsoid.... its awesome...

this post was from my Xperia X10i.
[Android Apps and Games] Sniper33:
another free version i like - Quick settings
[Android Apps and Games] wingshot007:
First I've heard of Widgetsoid. Downloaded it and wow is it nice! Can uninstall several other widgets now and just use this one.

Looking to get into some chat rooms via irc for rom devs channels and want a good irc app also, every time I try to connect everything just fails but I'll worry about that later sinces its probably my fault.
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:
just search irc in the market, any one is pretty much the same as another. its up to personal preference.

I use AndroIRC
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
IRC Radio works well. I fumbled a little but got it figured out. I heard that Andchat was another good one that a lot of people use.

Ok so I've read a lot about rooting and flashing I even gave it a try but I couldn't get anything to really work once I got past root. Flashing is what I couldn't get past. I tried a few different methods but none gave me the finished product I want. I have a g1 on tmobile with stock everything again. Back to 1.6 dmd64 build. No more root with 1.0 and rc29 or whatever it was. I'm pretty confident that if I had good directions on what to do I could do it. Can a newbie get some help here!!!

I want the latest, greatest, stable stuff running on my g1. Not too much to ask is it. Thanks in advance. Any other questions just ask
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinimint:
Try: http://goo.gl/uSRk

Update to stock 1.6, I think by going to:

Menu > Settings > About > Software Update

After you root it, go to the market and download Superuser by ChainsDD

Then ROM Manager by ClockworkMod.

Open Rom Manager and grant Root permission.

Flash Clockwork Recovery or alternatively Amon's RA.

Plug your phone into your computer and mount it.

On your computer open up the phone's folder and drag and drop a ROM in it.

You can download them in Development, at cyanogenmod.com and I'm also working on my own that you can download at Infinimod.blogspot.com it's 2.2.1 FroYo and fast as hell.

After that shut the phone off, turn it on while holding the home button.

Wipe the phone.

Flash the .zip that you downloaded.

Wait for it to install.

Reboot.

All done, have fun!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfornito831:
I am stuck at flashing the new rom again. This time I'm getting E: can't open /chache/recovery/command. Any idea how to get past this and finish this ordeal. I really do appreciate any and all help!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jfornito831:
update. BRICKED? no matter what button combo i hit i get nothing. i hit power button it goes right to screen display of what appears to look like a mailbox with an arrow coming out of it pointing down to the little green android dude. cant get past it only way to get it off the screen is to pull battery. im guessing i have a paper weight.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infinimint:
Try going back into your recovery, mount usb, and recopy the ROM. Usually you'll get that error due to the ROM being copied wrongly and it happens very often although it may seem like it copied just fine.
[Droid 2 Accessories] komputerfreek:
I recently had my case for my droid break (it was the oem motorola one that comes with the case and case belt holster via vzw) and am really wondering if it is worth it. Took the case off after it broke and i have scratches all over the chrome from the case. Do you find it necessary to have a case?
[Droid 2 Accessories] theecho:
Yes. A case normally raises higher than the glass of the screen so if it falls you wont scratch it most of the time. Case also will stop the huge nicks if it were to fall.
[Droid 2 Accessories] newk8600:
When I get the money and Zagg gets them in I want to put a Full body. Invisible shield on it. Then I can put my case back on and won't have any scratches.
[Droid 2 Accessories] Redneck Trash:
That might not work. I have Ghost Armor and love it but it does make it next to impossible to but a case on unless you force it.
[Droid 2 Accessories] newk8600:
I didn't know that. Well hopefully I can get that money to try it out with my case.
[Droid 2 Accessories] 1454:
Considering I just dropped on D2 and shattered the screen, I would say yeah. They're only like 3-4 bucks on ebay. The only thing that sucks is it makes typing much harder using the top row on the qwerty.
[Droid 2 Accessories] Pesti13nce:
I had a case and just recently pulled it off for a bit, and found my paint was pitted and little scratches from all the dust and dirt that had gotten in there. I was very disappointed in the fact that i had to probably pull the case off every few weeks. I'll probably get an invisi shield or something along those lines.
[Droid 2 Accessories] StevePritchard:
Ouch, hasn't the D2 got Gorilla Glass? I thought that stuff was meant to be really tough?
[Droid 2 Accessories] 1454:
That is what I thought too. But I guess not. I'll post pics when I get a chance. I came from a Touch Pro 2 and dropped it a couple of times and never had an issue with anything other than deep gouges in the plastic. The D2 didn't fare so well.
[Droid 2 Accessories] komputerfreek:
Same thing happened to me. I might get the invisi shield too. Its like I never even had a case on by all the scratches on the chrome finish.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djtar:
just boot into h boot than flash the sappimg for mt3g
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dedraks:
You'll need to reinstall the htc drivers for your phone.

After, go to fastboot and reinstall the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jmccw:
I have this problem too...

but when I flash the SAPPIMG.img it looks like it will work but then I BOOTLOOP at the mt3g splash screen.

I have formatted the sd card several times, redownloaded the img, etc. etc.

To make matters worse, I am on a perfected SPL - (PVT 32b SHIP S-ON G) so I cannot do much via fastboot.

Any suggestions?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djtar:
well follow the guide in signature it'll get of perfect spl to fastboot a new recovery then in recovery flash a new rom and the perfect spl best of luck
[Droid 2 General] komputerfreek:
What I want to know is if i create a backup via clockwork and store it on my sd card could i install the backup to a new droid 2 when i get the replacement?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
I'm pretty sure that should work. You just need to root and install Koush's bootstrap on the new phone.

But if you just Backup your launcher settings (Launcher Pro and ADW both have these features) and you have the ROM you used if you used a ROM then you can just install it brand new an bypass any issues. Gmail backs up all your apps and contacts if you have it set to so there wouldn't be much else to install if all your vids/pics are saved on your sdcard everything can be held on there for safe keeping Just keep your sdcard or make sure you back it up on your computer or the card will be sent in with the phone.
[Droid 2 General] bladearronwey:
In case you didn't think of it, you might want to sbf back to stock before sending it in, just in case they complain about it being modded (I heard MotoBoy had some problems getting his replaced when his usb port got damaged because the phone had something other than the stock ROM on it, tech wouldn't cooperate)
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Yes very good point ^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Hey,

I have searched the forum, and haven't found threads pertaining to what I really want to know.

I have also read on MSDN code samples pertaining to this topic.

Basically, I am aiming to create a new transport DLL for MMS/Email/SMS/etc. [which will go along with a whole suite of programs]. What I am trying to do is avoid the use of CE MAPI.

From the research I have done, I think I have figured that to send SMS via RIL, I need to encrypt the SMS somehow, but I am not positive of that [however, I think I saw this in a thread somewhere]. I am totally baffled in terms of MMS. I am pretty sure that for E-Mails I can just connect to the internet and such with the phone and do the standard transmission of emails.

I saw people talking about using WAP to send MMS ... which would make sense because the data connection for MMS does have an IP address ... it said it used the MM1 standard/method. I couldn't find anything more though :(

So can anyone lend a hand here?

Thank You VERY much ! :D

[Epic 4G General] darknatas:
im very annoyed with my phone after having it since day 1. here are the problems i see wrong with the phone.

1st. the battery life sucks i drain my battery faster then it takes to recharge.

2nd. when playing youtube videos all day connected to a charger the phone drains the battery faster then it can recharge it at. ex: i had my phone at about 50% was playing a youtube vids for hrs with the brightness turned up to the max all while connected to the charger i say for about 4 hrs guess where my battery was up to about 30% WTF???? this is while it was connected to the charger. *shakes head*

3rd. has any1 found a way to do a quick charge on the phone cause this is retarded on how long it takes to get fully charged.

4th. i feel the default web browser sucks up way to much power on the phone. i just watch the % dropped down way to fast.

not sure what to do i have juice defendor, setcpu, taskkiller, u name it i got it. i wouldnt mind the phone draining fast as long as i could charge it faster then at the rate its going right now.
[Epic 4G General] romanmb:
You're plugged into the outlet or via USB into a computer? You're using the stock charger?
[Epic 4G General] darknatas:
i have tested this on the wall charger, usb from the computer and the from a car charger all the same results. the recharge rate just sucks horrible for this phone. we need quick charge and we need it now.
[Epic 4G General] haas599:
I get about 50% charge per hour if the is not in use on a wall charger. Check your settings or maybe you have a bad battery.
[Epic 4G General] BThomas22x:
You got a bad battery... you'll need a new one... are you rooted with recovery?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
The battery will not charge if its not at a safe temperature to do so. If you are charging, which raises the temperature of the battery to begin with, and trying to play a youtube video over 3g or wifi, your phone is most likely overheating which is why the phone is not effectively charging. If you were to play a video that you have stored on the SD card while the phone charged, it would probably charge without a problem.

Just a guess.
[Epic 4G General] marlbrocat:
It takes me about two and a half hours to fully charge the battery. I just went out and bought another battery with charger and swap them out as needed. It's not the cheapest solution but it works.
[Epic 4G General] blazinazn:
Sorry to say but if you use your phone pretty heavily, it probably won't last as long as you would like. If you are streaming youtube videos all day, how long do you expect the battery to last?

As muyoso stated, the battery won't charge if your phone is not at a safe temp. Wouldn't want your battery to explode. Pretty sure that won't help you much. I stream live radio on my phone for 4 hours in the morning. If I'm not at 100% when I plug my phone up to my PC, it'll hover around the same or won't charge so my suggestion is to make sure you are at 100% and keep it plugged in while you view videos.

Is your brightness all the way up? That would cause the battery to drain a little faster than normal if you are browsing. If you think it's the stock browser, try installing a 3rd party one, Dolphin, Opera, etc...
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Yep, that's my one major dislike of this phone. Samsung needs to talk to HTC about developing a better charging circuit. I miss that with my TP2, it would charge very quickly. Takes forever to charge this thing. Maybe they want to sell spare batteries instead??
[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
i dont see a problem.. im at 13 hours and i have 79% battery life left..
[Epic 4G General] y2bangali:
which kernel and rom are you using? or are u getting that on stock?
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Not sure about him but I'm running Epic Experience with Mixups latest.

Right now my battery is at 13H 54M 10S since unplugged, 66% battery life left.

Now this is with light use none-the-less. So its really not that impressive at all. But its not the worst either.

The usage readout goes as follows:

Display: 48%, on for 1h 48m 19s

Cell Standby: 32%, on for 14h 6m 53s (Don't understand how this is showing on for longer than the phones been unplugged. Unless this doesnt reset when the phone gets unplugged)

Phone Idle: 12%, On for 12h 6m 8s

Android System: 3%.

So like I said, light usage.
[Epic 4G General] y2bangali:
hmm i still couldnt do a full test on my battery yet as im still in the process of calibrating it.. yesterday b4 calibrating, i was running epicexperience with bakedsnack kernel.. i got like 10 hours of LIGHT usage with 35% left.. but im sure its so poor cuz i didnt calibrate it.. but now im running bakedsnack rom and kernel.. if i dont like the battery performance then I'll probably switch to bakedsnackrom with mixup kernel or epicexperience with mixup kernel.. dont know which will be better..
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Yeah, I'm calibrating mine right now too. Dang thing wont die. This use is normal use for me so far though, because 9 hours of that time was me sleeping, I just left it unplugged. The 1 and a half hours display time or whatever it said when I posted is just from XDA app, texting and some angry birds. So its my normal use plus 9 hours of sleeping. Some people say to just run a bunch of crap and let it die in 4 hours while calibrating, but I like calibrating mine with normal use instead. :p
[Epic 4G General] BThomas22x:
They do sell spare batteries... at your local sprint store, its a kit that includes a spare battery, a charging dock (holds the spare to charge without being in the phone) a USB cable and a wall outlet that supports the USB cable. Its about 50 dollars but well worth it... but as for this issue, I get about 24 hours with moderate use (just texting, and web use) and about 36 without much use... running apophis 2.1 beta with mixup kernal
[Epic 4G General] y2bangali:
nah I actually like bragging about my battery to my friends.. 4 of them have evo's and one of them has an epic.. and none of them are satisfied with the battery.. so i wanna just show it off lmao.. but i do have a car charger which is good enough.. i just want one battery which i will charge as less as possible so it can also have a longer life..
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
So far I'm at 17h 13m 49s since unplugged. 37% remaining. Just finished playing an hour of Angry Birds haha. Heres the readout:

[Epic 4G General] shabbypenguin:
1d 14h 59m 27s @ 29%

[Epic 4G General] y2bangali:
hmm i'm not getting performance like you guys.. im still running bakedsnack rom and kernel.. here are my stats (i'm on 05 now and have been like that for the past hour -_-):

Idk if these stats are good, but i'm bugged out compared to the stats u guys have.. mine is bad.. the 2hours 23mins my display was on, i used 4g just for a bit, but most of the time was spent on texting and data instant messaging.. nd ofc voice calls.. what do u guys think? should i switch my kernel to mixup or phoenix?

oops forgot to say, my total screen time currenty is 12h 57m.. almost 13hours and its still flashing 0% battery lol... sigh only if i could get performance like u guys..
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
You can, but you need to do a few things if you haven't already. You need data shut off when your screen is off. Doing this will effectively disable push email, so if you need that its a no go. You need to use primarily wifi wherever you can, as it uses a lot less power than 3g. You need to set a screen profile for setcpu 200-400 for when the screen is off. You need to set the screen to minimum brightness. Have autostarts kill the DRM services every boot and have Tasker toggle airplane mode every boot. Set setcpu 100-1000 using the conservative governor. Use juicedefender or something like it to disable data when the screen is off, put the phone into airplane mode on a schedule at night when you are sleeping, set it to prefer wifi, enable wifi when within certain distances of known wifi locations and allow certain apps to keep data on when the screen is off (pandora or similar).

Basically, when you aren't using the phone and its in your pocket, you want it losing as little energy as possible. I lose under one percent an hour with the phone sitting in my pocket. Juicedefender saves a LOT of battery by making sure those radios are off when I dont need them, and I can still receive text messages and phone calls perfectly.
[Epic 4G General] grimproductions:
Root phone rune juice defender call it a day. I use my phone all day from the time I wake up until the time I get out of work at 11pm and after rooting with juice defender, I get off of work with 50% bat life left. it also helps to delete the stock apps which are constantly running in the background, because sprint thinks you are going to be needing nascar updates at the drop of a hat......
[Epic 4G General] y2bangali:
whoa thx a lot for the detailed help bro.. but just 1 problem... I can't run juicedefender while setCPU is running, can I?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Sure you can. I run both all day everyday.
[Epic 4G General] Pyperkub:
I'm in the boat where I'm considering returning mine because of the abysmally slow charge times. I have 1 hour commute and if I just have bluetooth and 3g on, with no screen or calls it only charges about 10% using the samsung charger.

That's unacceptable.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
When you plug the phone into the samsung car charger, do the options come up for mass storage, charging, etc? If so, it means you are charging at USB speeds and not wall outlet speeds. This is fixed rather easily by getting a small maybe 6 inch usb male to USB female cable, and then splicing a few wires in it to make it charge at the full rate. I did it and it took me maybe 5 minutes total. There are guides all over the place on how to do it, if in fact that is your problem. I use this method because I have a generic 2 port USB charger in my car that cost me a dollar and a half, and it only charges at USB speeds. With my modified small adapter cable, it charges twice as fast without modifying either the charger or a micro usb cable.

Remember also, if the phone is hot, it will just not charge at all. Sometimes if you are charging while taxing the 3g radio as well as streaming audio over bluetoth, the phone may go into a sort of protected state where it maintains the level of battery but does not charge, as a way to protect the battery.
