I would just pull the back off the phone and repaint it. You could actually paint it any color you want. I'm actually going to paint my otterbox so the wife and I can tell the difference between our phones(we both have EVO's with the same style otterbox.

A store once told me to go buy a stylus for my Treo at Radio Shack when mine broke.

I called Executive Escalations and explained the situation, had a stylus overnight and as far as I was told the store was reprimanded.

Don't take their BS.
[EVO 4G General] Bargsbeer:
I watched a video on Youtube the rear housing panel is only 5 screws and it comes right out, I'm thinking some touch up paint......

I'm trying to be a nice guy, I don't want to escalate anything if I don't have to, I will if it's necessary. So far it seems the Sprint at the stores are not even prepared for working on the white EVO, They don't even carry the parts....
[EVO 4G General] creyc:
I've had nothing but good experiences with the sprint repair centres. Took my phone in last week cause the speaker sounded bad, they replaced the whole back half of the phone, free, no questions asked in about 10 minutes, they didn't even mention the fact my phone said "freshhh" when it booted up lol.

I brought my microUSB cable in as well because the end bent and it stopped charging the phone. I figured its my fault, they'll sell me a new one but he just grabbed me a new one and off I went, great experience.

This week my GPS stopped working so back I went, they looked at it and ordered me a new phone, again no questions asked, no charge.

So I would say go to a different sprint store. Everyone complains about Sprints customer service but I've had nothing but good experience.
[EVO 4G General] Bargsbeer:
I don't think it so much a customer service issue, As it's just that they are not

prepared to repair the White EVO. I only have a handful of Sprint Stores in my area, So far everyone I have talked to has not been much help. The last thing I want to is drive even farther to get the same answer.
[EVO 4G General] Warrior 3000:
i have the white evo and the paint chips and its orange. its annoying =(
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
Ummmm ummmm yea.....i don't know what to tell you...I'm confused by this thread and its meaning for creation. You probably are upset but I would suggest painting it yourself maybe?
[EVO 4G General] kenfly:
Id like to see some finished results of the battery cover and the piece underneath the front benzel painted some different colors before i go doing my own. I own a black evo so I don't even know if painting would even be an option. Still, I'd like to see.
[EVO 4G General] entropism:
Sprint stores don't have stock for any white parts yet, so there's nothing that can be done. Though, even if there were parts, paint is considered cosmetic damage, and not covered. You also have to remember that stores are JUST getting stock of the white EVOs, for sale in a few days. Many have never even SEEN a white one in person.

That being said, as much as I love the look of the white, I've seen the paint chipping too often to get one. Sad.
[EVO 4G General] TurboX2:
haha.. i traded out my white evo for a black one for this reason

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
Hi everyone -

I'd like to know the difference between each HSUPA i9000 modem that has been tested in the Captivate

I think it would be good to know what the strengths are, when / where it first emerged, and known issues with it.

If you post below I can keep this updated.

I'll start:

JG8 - i9000 Eclair ROM. Works for enabling 850 band for those launching a reorientated kernel. Do not use with Froyo.

JPP - i9000 Froyo ROM.

General principles:

- don't mix an i9000 modem with a cappy kernel or visa versa

Known issues with using an i9000 modem:

-bluetooth voice quality

-wired headsets don't work on mic

thanks all!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
bump, i was just gonna ask the same question
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
The problem with asking questions like this in the Q&A section is that all the developers that can answer it well hang out in the Android development section and never come over here :)

And people wonder why there is so much spam in that thread.

C'mon guys, help me out, and lets prove that we don't have to start technical question threads in Android development in order to get an answer.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
yeah real helpful. is there any difference in frequency support? can bluetooth work corectly along side hsupa yet?

which is the most recent? jg8, jpp, jpm? does one need to be installed before the other? are there any other known problems? battery drain? instability? ect?

someone must know
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
Haha funny! I thought of doing that myself but the problem with n=1 is that all you guys would get spammed with my own quirks. Hence why I didn't add the point about JG8 FC'ing on me under JG8- most people haven't said that - so I just have a weird bug with my location/hardware/who knows what. I'd kinda be spreading disinformation if I put it down as "truth"

Anyways, anything that anyone wants to contribute I'd be more than happy to include. I think it would be helpful. THanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhernand1102:
Well the one problem I find with every HSUPA modem is the Bluetooth quality sucks...Since Bluetooth is more important for me I don't use them anymore...Upload speeds are nice but I don't really need it...

[Droid 2 Accessories] komputerfreek:
Had a few bucks laying around and decided to get a new case and protector for my phone.

Thing is that I have had horrible experiences with screen protectors in the past for all types of phones. They are always so hard to put on and I always seem to mess up. I chose the zagg shield because of the lifetime warranty.
[Droid 2 Accessories] ikilledkenny:
go slow with it. Make sure the room your doing it in, isnt dusty/has alof of moving air or else you will end up with dust/fuzz under the protector.

Also, dont be afraid to go a little heavy on the application solution. it will help you be able to adjust the screen protector while its on the screen, then just use the squeege and secure a corner down, then squeege the rest out(away from the openings on the phone)
[Droid 2 Accessories] anonymous-x:
Good advice but where is that place where no micro dust you can't see? Until I find that place I'll just have to keep buying multi-pack screen protectors.
[Droid 2 Accessories] tonorice:
If I were you find a ghost armor stand/shop I had zagg on my phone and it was nearly perfectly dont but after a while it started peeling. Ghost Armor will apply everything for you and you can get them replaced for 5 bucks.
[Droid 2 Accessories] StevePritchard:
My advice FWIW, and I've covered a few devices now, gives better results than a lot of the videos you see on youTube.

1. I use plenty of liquid on your fingers (to prevent fingerprints), and on the sticky side of the protector.

2. Concentrate on lining up the protector so it's in the right position. Spray the top, and squeegy out the excess, but don't worry about bubbles at this point.

3. Once the protector is in the right position, making sure that your fingers are still wet, peel up the protector from one end so you've lifted just over half of it, and spray the sticky side again, and then using the sqeegy, re-lay the protector down pushing along away from the side that's stuck down. (you might need to re-spray the top too so the squeegy moves nice and easy).

4. If you find you have a bubble, or a piece of grit stuck under the protector, simply lift it again, give it a quick spray, remove the grit, and re-lay it, until you are happy with it. You shouldn't see any bubbles (not even the really tiny ones which do disappear on their own anyway).

5. Now (with your fingers wet again) peel up the protector from the other end, ie. the end that you left stuck down, and peel it so it's past the point you started with the first half, and repeat the process (spraying, and squeegying).

You should end up with a clean install with no bubbles.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Droid 2 Accessories] GeorgeHahn:
Like others have said, use lots of application solution. Don't be afraid to mix it with water if you get low.

If you get the maximum coverage version, be prepared to spend a lot of time applying it.

Also, be prepared to get a replacement in a couple of months. Lots of in<->out of pocket will peel the edges. I've had mine for about four months and it's getting pretty peeled.

[Galaxy Tab General] zetsurin:
Hi all,

I've just ordered a Galaxy Tab, and am worried that the experience isn't going to end up a heck of a lot different to my HTC Desire. For me it's just mostly going to be used as a WIFI tab, with the 3G used when I am travelling OS (that use case will be very useful for me in fact as my Desire is firmly locked here in Japan by Softbank).

What I would like to know, is if there is a list of apps known that take advantage of the tab's extra screen size? Similar to how Samsung's own apps do it. I see on AppBrain that there are a growing number of apps that mention they've had Galaxy Tab support added, but there's generally no indication if this means they provide a more tablet-like experience to the Tab or not. So if anyone knows of any that do, please let me know.

Thanks!

[Epic 4G Android Development] krazydbiker:
hey guys, getting an error when I try to clear my cache's on my epic in clock work, I don't remember the exact error but its when i try to clear the davlik cache, it gives me an error that the file already exists? Is this normal? I'm still pretty new at this so any information is definitely helpful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
I dunno, When I clean my Davlik, it cleans properly, as do all other cache's on my phone. Perhaps it's a defect?
[Epic 4G Android Development] keeepinitgansta:
Yes from what I gathered around the forums, this is normal. The fact that it claims that something cannot be mounted / already exists is because it is looking for a component pertaining to froyo. Since we do not yet have this update, it will continue to display that msg. Clockwork dev claims it still wipes the davik cache successfully. If this information is incorrect, please let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] krazydbiker:
Alright, as long as it's normal, just don't want to screw things up. Makes sense if it's designed for froyo.
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Sounds like not a big deal, if it actually lets you clear the cache your fine. If not, you may just want to not clear it :-) Other than that try flashing back to stock with Odin.

I get "can't mount /dev/blocl/mm3yxxxxxx; file exsists" or something to that effect. I have to clear it manually sans adb or root explorer. Just out of curosity, for a completely clean wipe...what directories should I be clearing? My factory reset works, but what dir should I clear for dalvic and cache? On the norm, I clear /data/dalvik & /data/data/ but still feel I'm missing something.

You only need to clear /data/dalvik-cache. Only rarely do you need to wipe /data :P

Has anyone figured out how to change the boot animation?

It seems it's stored in /system/media/bootanimation.zip

I tried replacing the .PNG images inside the archive and that didn't work, although I might have messed up something. I'm just glad to be rid of that dreadful SE color splash until someone else finds a solution.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] toreador514:
finished playing with this a little while ago... when you replace the files you must use no compression, ie store. i've attached one with the android robot waving (cropped from nexus) simple, but at least the splash is gone
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nobodyAtall:
Thanks for this! Looks so sweet!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
strange... I replaced one frame to see if it changed and saw nothing ( i put a big red X across one image ). I did use no compression ( kept the zip open in winrar and saved )

will try again!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] enormous101:
i finally found it for sure...from the zip above extract them all put your images in an then add in a zip file all of them again but you have to rename it as bootanimation.zip and you have to choose at winrar compression method store...its final and you can put anything you want...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tamasvlad:
Thank you for helping me sort this out.

Here's GLa’DOS "Android Scribble" animation for the x10 mini.

Hi Guys.

I've been trying to change the bootanimation, but as

I'm a little slow to understand, I have no doubt

to decompress it and stuff.

Who can explain me the luxuries of details please?

It would be a great help ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] enormous101:
1 root your phone

2 download rootexplorer(<---and install it) & any bootanimation.zip you want

3 open rootexplorer and go to your sdcard hold down your finger and choose copy

4 then go to system/media

5 at the upper of your root explorer its a button that says mount r/w make it says by pushing it mount r/o

6 push the button paste and then when it says ovewrite push yes

7 reboot and you r ready!!!!

if i make it a single file you will not have the option when the first animation is over the second to be anime it will be a still picture if you want that just leave one image in the second folder..because it have 2 phases of animation..!!!!(if you remember first when the colours where mixing and then the still image with sony ericsson logo and letters)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mitchio:
I've been trying to edit the desc.txt file so I can have a little more flexibility but even if I save it without making any changes it stops working.

After a look around the interwebs someone mentioned saving in the UNIX format, so I used Notepad ++ in UNIX and tried editing/saving in that but there's still problems, sometimes it doesn't work at all and sometimes it only shows the first folder.

Also, are there any limitations as to framerate and how many files can go in the part0/part1 folders (revision of enormous101's bootanimation.zip).

Finally, is it ok to add a part2?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
do not use compression - use Winrar and select "store"
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] enormous101:
as i mentioned part 2 is when the bootanimation of sony ericsson stays frozen you can add anything you want and its safe to play with part two.. no limitation except your internal storage!!!!what exactly are you trying to do with desc?may i help you?if you find my preview posts at the first page you will find to download the bootanimation.zip with two parts so unzip it and when you add your images zip it with winrar at store compression mode...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mitchio:
Already doing that. :p

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JDwan:
Nice thread!

I was wondering about the desc.txt file. I am using the Rogers 2.1 firmware and I want to remove the Rogers screen that shows up just before desktop loads. The PNG file for the Rogers screen is located in Anim5 and I was wondering if I just removed the entry for anim5 in the desc file, would that do the trick? I've already moved the original bootanimation.zip file onto my computer so it is backed up but I was just wondering if this would work. I am using a X10 but it seems like the file system is the same which is why I'm asking here. Any help would be appreciated!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] enormous101:
hope helped

if you dont know how to change desc.txt then dont...unzip the bootanimation.zip change the images inside anim5 folder and then zip it but at compression mode use ''store'' instead of everything else and just put it in your phone...i cant change your desc.txt and make it into two folders because i dont own x10...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] JDwan:
Thanks for your response! From what I've been reading, it seems that if I remove the entry for anim5 in the desc.txt, that it won't load that animation. It just seems easier to do this than to replace the image in that folder. Though the problem would then be making changes to a UNIX based txt file using a Windows OS and then the phone not recognizing the desc.txt file based on it being in the wrong format.

Anyway, I suppose I could just copy over the last image in anim4 and replace the one in anim5 with that and that would be the easier solution (as per your suggestion).

Here is the thread I was reading where it describes the desc.txt file and how to modify your boot animation.

Hiya.

Phone model is Xperia X10i. Well, the problem would be, after update to 2.1, there were no applications on phone. I did back it up, and restore ( I think that has nothing to do with apps) but it didn't help. Even some standard apps, like Google Talk were not there.

However, I managed to get my hands on .apk files needed to install GTalk, I browsed with some file manager to that .apk's, but when I selected one, it said that application is already installed.

When I tried to reinstall it (uninstall & install), it said "Uninstall not successful", but other option, "Launch", worked, it loaded Google Talk, it worked fine.

Now, question would be, how to get that (and other) applications to show up on phone, in menu. Seems they do exist on phone.
