[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I dropped my Epic last week, and got a very small crack in the glass digitizer through the Sprint logo at the top of the screen. Wasn't even touching the SuperAmoled screen, just the glass. The phone worked perfectly, including the touchscreen, and you couldn't even see the screen crack unless looking in direct light.

Took it into my local Sprint store to get the screen replaced for free under the new TEP Policy. A hour later, when i returned, they said they couldn't fix it, because "there was things wrong with the phone that couldn't be fixed".

I stated that the only damage was to the glass digitizer, and thought they could just pop it out, and replace it really quick. Well, my 'knowledgeable' Sprint technician, said he didn't even know what a "digitizer" was, and that "there was hardware inside the phone that wasn't functioning".

So they gave me a BRAND NEW refurbished phone, WITH a 90 DAY SAMSUNG WARRANTY. Lol wtf? He said he had never even seen a refurbished phone that came with a warranty before. But my new Epic, is much better than my old epic. The screen has absolutely no wobble, and the keys don't crackle and crunch when typing!

I didn't even bother to restore my phone to stock. It was running DK28 along with all the other things I flashed onto the phone. I'm thinking they tried to plug the phone into their computer to diagnose for system problems, and since my phone was running a custom leaked build, their computer probably gave a error making them think it had a software issue.

I'm pretty sure about 99% of the sprint technicians in the store had absolutely no idea what rooting even was. After I got my new Epic, the technician asked if I wanted my contacts transfered from my old phone to my new phone. He was surprised when I said that my new phone would automatically get my contacts from my google account. LOL
[Epic 4G General] Seanc13:
I think I'm just gonna take it in the way it is, I took my hero in a while back before I got my epic and it was rooted and customized to hell and back, the tech walks out and goes, custom rom? I said yea he goes ok, flash it back to stock, update this and that, and flash back to this and the problem will be solved, didn't even blink an eye at the thought of it being rooted. I had another rep ask me how I rooted my stuff and I sent him here becuase my phone was so much faster and smoother than his stock
[Epic 4G General] flawlessbmxr:
I would have done it as manufacturing defect. As long as the glass part of the screen wasn't damaged. Basically ordering you a new one. And the $35 is for ppl with no insurance. So if you had no insurance with this situation, sprint policy states I have to charge you 35 for the new phone which I see it covering shipping if anything to and from the warehouse.

And to everyone busting on sprint techs im one of the few that actually know rooting, digitizers, etc. The training the techs go thru is for 5 year olds. Its stupid as hell. I take no offense to what's being said but yea, other techs are sstuuppiiddd

Sent from my MysteriousGingerbread
[Epic 4G General] Squeaky369:
It should have been fixed. We get phones in all the time that have issues like that; and I'm sorry, some techs will look at it like a cosmetic issue, but at the same time, I look at it as, "Would I want it fixed if it were my phone?" And yes, I would. So I would have replaced the screen.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I'm by no means hating on all technicians, I'm just saying that majority of ones I've encountered have little to no experience with anything "technical" about the phones they are selling. I don't expect that every Sprint technician will KNOW each and every phone inside and out, but when a technician is gonna ACT like they know everything..... ;)

Back on topic though, I think its generally a good idea to flash back to stock or AT LEAST back up your phone, and wipe it before going to sprint for a repair. They asked that I unlock and remove the pattern password on my phone before I left it, and since my phone wasn't wiped, all of my accounts and stuff were open still.

i would also like 2 know the difference... also if they are different, how do u use the apps2sd from xda, i flashed the zip thru recovery, but there was nothing different in my apps or the phone itself once i rebooted
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
Darktremor's a2sd (not app2sd) is a modification to the system, requires you to partition your SD card and moves ALL your apps to that partition, plus you can move your cache to SD, freeing TONS of space as the phone now see's that partition as an extension of your filesystem.

APP2SD is a frontend app to Froyo's apps2SD mover which allows you to move SOME apps to the SD card (if the developer allows it)

You can't just use A2SD and install it, it has to be cooked INTO your rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
You can use Titanium backup to force apps to sd card. You can find it under the batch items. Words of caution. Apps that have a widget shouldn't be moved because the phone won't find the widget after a reboot.

I want to completely fully wipe and partition my SD card so I can have it clean for the new SPARKS 1.6.1 mod.. how do I go about keeping my apps... if I do a nanidroid backup, can I put the sd card in my pc and grab the Apps from it and keep them on the pc until after I wipe and format the card and then put them back...

Any help would be great..

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traumatism:
Get titanium backup. Use it to back up your apps and data. Change your rom. Install titanium on new rom and restore all your apps (and data if you wish) from there
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Yes, I believe if they're on your ext it will tar them, if they're in data you'll need to unyaffs the data.img that it spits out.

Or you could just pull them, if they're on ext the apks are located in the /system/sd/app and /system/sd/app-private folders or /data/app and /data/app-private if they're just on the phone.

so do

mkdir /sdcard/apps

cp /location/app/* /sdcard/apps

cp /location/app-private/* /sdcard/apps

then you can push them back in the same way.

You could do that, I rather not install an extra app though.

[Captivate General] gasolara2002:
I recently screwed up my captivate fooling around with terminal. I managed to get it to boot to the AT&T screen so I kinda messed them over. My replacement unit seems to have a better gps chip. I know it has been refurbished because the inside stickers are not OEM. Apparently there is a quick hardware fix that is implemented to get the gps to function. I have a feeling its something to do with grounding and the fact that it uses the back cover for grounding is interesting. I think they might be replacing the copper fitting on the right side of the phone that contacts with the back cover when you open the phone. It seemed too new looking. I saw a post where someone said clean the contact patches on the battery cover and slightly pull out the right copper tab for more contact on the battery plate. I did this and tested my gps during a 100 mile trip. The gps worked pretty efficiently. It stayed locked on and it wasn't bouncing all over the place. I found my lock while moving which was impossible with my old cappy. I say its a grounding issue. I also noticed that my phone wasn't burning hot after an hour and a half of constant gps use but my old cappy would be really hot after 30 minutes. I may not be a phone expert but i learned a bad ground can cause intermittent flow in a circuit which causes that circuit to cut off after a short while. In the galaxy s phones I think it is a grounding issue that has been fixed. I advise people to make sure the contacts in your battery cover is clean(use alcohol to clean them). Pull up the right tab slightly so ensure contact with the metal battery cover(the left is rectactable and cant be pulled). I would make sure you use a rubber or plastic case on your cappy so interference with the gps or antenna will occur(the reason why plastic isn't a bad material to make a cell phone out of). My gps settings are basically AT&T's default. You will only get an accurate lock if you use the data network(cell towers) and of course use gps satelites in the location settings. Thats A-GPS at its finest. I just going to probably keep this captivate as a backup phone (unless someone just gives me the right amount of cash) because i just purchased an unlocked dell streak from dell for 400 bucks since they are having a sale on them. And now i know my gps works on my cappy.
[Captivate General] nybmx:
I just got a replacement phone less than 6 hours ago and noticed a big improvement in GPS signal strength on the stock firmware. The inside stickers on mine are also different.

It quickly found multiple satellites with snrs in the 40's. The highest hit 47. I honestly didn't think it was possible to get that high unless you were floating in outer space. It started to lock on to multiple sats around the 30 second mark.

After loading up Darky's port 6.0.2 I tried again and in lbstestmode it found and locked onto 9 satellites in 8 seconds. It honestly blew my mind. Now this rom uses Da_G's GPS files. I still have a ton of real world testing to do but that initial result gave me a lot of hope.
[Captivate General] mobileseq:
Whats the build number of your replacement phone? Mines 1007 which is old build. You can find it below the serial number on the phone behind the battery.
[Captivate General] gasolara2002:
I am happy with it stock. Let me know how your test comes out on the GPS. I will definately watch this post.

1008 is my build. The newer ones are 1009 and 1010. I had the 1007 build myself at first.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Curious, do you have the 3 button recovery problem that build 1008 is notorious for?

Also, give it a few days on the GPS. Most times a factory reset makes the GPS work good and then it goes to heck in a hand basket. YMMV

[Captivate General] gasolara2002:
I will continue to use it. I have not tweaked anything on the phone just because i don't want to take any chances of may be wrecking my gps through software changes. I have tried it and I get in to recovery mode just fine. Mine is a refurb unit so i think the bugs are worked out.
[Captivate General] 40Love:
Just exchanged my Cappy on Monday. My new build is 1012 and the last 4 digits of my IMEI is 6219. This is a very recent build. So far no random shutdowns (I returned my old one for this) and my gps is much improved over my old unit. So far I have had zero issues locking and no longer are my tracks all over both sides of the road. My previous was useless. Leaving it on stock for another week.
[Captivate General] mobileseq:
Hmmm, what version of the OS is it on the 1012? I guess its jh7 eclair.
[Captivate General] 40Love:
Yes it is still Eclair 2.1 update 1

JH7

2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11#2

1012 rev .4
[Captivate General] nybmx:
Build 1008 (same as my original one). Button combos into recovery and dl mode work fine. My original 1008 phone did not have issues with button combos either.

I've only tested the GPS while driving once but it kept a lock, and rerouted me fine when I decided to take a different way then was suggested.
[Captivate General] a.vandelay:
it looks like i might have to use the random shutdown complaint to get a replacement!!
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
The fix must've come after 1010 because that's what mine is and I need the LBSTestmode mod to make it even remotely usable.
[Captivate General] CatFan:
Similar situation

My situation is the opposite though. When I originally got my Captivate back in August the GPS worked flawlessly. I even remember thinking how quick it got a fix compared to old phones and GPS units. After about a week I had to return the phone due to a sound issue. Now my GPS seems to take forever to get a fix, lags a lot and is not very accurate. Kind of like most users report. It seems like you are playing a slot machine when buying a Captivate. Pull the lever and you might get a great phone but the odds are way against you.
