Yes, if you do not send back the broken phone the will charge you the "Full" price of the phone... thats what one of the rep told me when i had to send my Touch Pro 2 back
[myTouch 4G General] nextbond:
Will Ghost Armor protect against this?
[myTouch 4G General] MvP77:
Same, I dropped mine down some concrete steps at my apartment. Couple of scratches on the chrome but that's it.
[myTouch 4G General] jdkoren:
And it still turned on. Interesting.

some guys on YouTube dropped an iPhone 4 a couple times to see how it responded. 2 drops and the screen wouldn't turn back on, and that was before it cracked.
[myTouch 4G General] sunsean:
I feel your pain, totally. That's what led to me getting my MT4G, my MT3G dropped from my lap as I was getting up from the couch (forgot it was there!), and the screen looked just like the OP's, totally shattered. This was probably the TWENTIETH time I had dropped it, but it finally just fell and hit the "right" way. Was pissed at first, but hey - it led to me getting this kick-ass phone, so I guess it all worked out :P
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
I already dropped my mt4g twice. Once it fell off a table i had it on. When some one called the vibration dropped it and the second time also coming out my car while i had it on my lap. First time it didnt even get a scratch, second time just some barely visible scratches. Seems like you dropped it from a way higher palce than just 2 feet.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Probably didn't fall on a flat surface. My phone has fallen twice off a 3 foot table and I can't see ANY signs of damage. Damn dog caught the cord. :mad:
[myTouch 4G General] Crime843:
I would cry 4 real
[myTouch 4G General] EmceeGeek:
i try my best to hold onto mine, i've even fumbled with it in my hand like it was a football trying to keep it from dropping. ah the agony.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Haha, boy do I know the feeling. I watched my mom do this with my phone last night and I nearly shat a brick. Thank God she caught it or I would have been pissed. This one hasn't been dropped, knock on wood....
[myTouch 4G General] banks1359:
Mine was shattered!!!

My phone was sitting in my lap and I got out of the car... Crack hit the curb. I WAS PISSED!!!! Went on eBay ordered a replacement screen and took the MT4G apart and installed the scree anow all is well... Here is the result... =)
[myTouch 4G General] cal3thousand:
Damn ... that sucks OP

I've dropped it 3 times now, always from my lap getting out of my car and forgetting I put it there.

BUT... my case (2 piece from TMO) + screen protector (Realook) have come in HUGE. I don't have a single mark on the phone, but the plastic case has 2 big cracks in it.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LooieENG:
I just got my Desire Z (and I'm loving it)

The hinges are lose, like what seems to be almost everyone elses. It doesn't bother me too much at the moment as I don't hold my phone in stupid positions (although a bit worried about what will happen over time), but anyway...

I've noticed my phone only has 1 set of hinges (one on each side) and a little ribbon connector type thing, but on Youtube videos people seem to have 2 sets of hinges (2 on each side)

Is this a Desire Z/G2 type of thing, or is one a newer version or something?

Also, can I send it back to who I got it from (Dial-a-phone) and get a brand new replacement, or will I (or DAP) need to send it off to HTC to repair?

Anyone sent theirs back, and how long did it take to get it back?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
The top hinge on the ear piece side should have a single one-arm hinge and the bottom side near track pad side should have a single two-arm hinge with a display ribbon closer to the top arm in the middle. Thats how all the phones come.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LooieENG:
Oh right, lmao I didn't see that, I kept looking from the same end (didn't think it would be 2+1

My bad.

Any input on returning it though?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
I bought mine from Radio Shack and returned it thru Tmobile for a warranty replacement, so if its for warranty try who you bought if from. If they wont do a warranty replacement im sure Tmobile will do any warranty replacement for you. But if your returning it because you dont want it anymore you probably need to go thru who you bought it from.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Hey guys...I don't know about all of you but I'm eager to start porting MattedBlues to and themeing my Nexus S!

I tried putting together a flashable theme zip but failed. Apparently I didn't have the update scripts setup correctly, but I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. I'm not good with the script stuff so I'm wondering if someone has or can make a flashable theme zip for me? Or if someone could point me in the right direction for properly doing the update scripts then I'm happy to figure it out. Once I have the base with METAINF (and proper udpate scripts), then I can get going on themeing this incredible device.

Thanks guys.

EDIT: SOLVED :) (I had to delete the 3 cert files in METAINF). Here's a sample zip (Zune Font Pack) that you guys can use a base: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11901383/ZuneFontPack1223.zip

To use this as a base for your theme, you'll want to add a "framework" folder and an "app" folder to the "system" folder and then place the themed/modified apks in their respective locations. Happy themeing!

Ok here is my issue, i found 3g hotspot app apk file and when i try to install i get application not installed, i seem to get that on all the apps i d/l.. i did try a few apps (3g hotspots) but would really like to have not to hook up usb to use the feature, im sure its been discussed, sorry for the repeat if so..

[Droid 2 Global General] Master Turkey:
What's wrong with the wireless tether (for root users)? Does it only support 1 device? I tested wireless tether with my MBPro and it worked fine.
[Droid 2 Global General] cyman777:
Great, where did you find it? Wireless tether is only working for one device and it would be great to have a true hotspot when using the Cyanogen Mod ROM (or other custom roms as a matter of fact) with the defy.
[Focus General] seanlindo06:
I've found I cannot connect to Facebook sometimes, upload pictures to skydrive, or use xbox live, and find my phone only kinda works sometimes. Am I missing something? I set up my LIVE account and Facebook account during initial setup.
[Focus General] OGCF:
You are connected to Wi-Fi or 3G when you try these things right?

If you're using 3G while doing these things, it's possible that you are having some weak signal strength in your area which is probably not enough to connect to those services.
[Focus General] seanlindo06:
I've been doing these things over a strong 3G signal. The data connection drops in and out. Sometimes turning on airplane mode then turning it back off will restore data. However, it shows 3G the entire time. I have no visual cue that the data isn't working unless I try connecting to a service and it errors out.
[Focus General] wspaw:
Do you have the same issues with a wifi connection?
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
How long do you think it will take to come in the mail?
[Nexus S General] jdm_cars:
I had 2 on release day, friggin got the short end of the stick after waiting in line for an hour on release day, went home to find dust inside the glass on BOTH units! returned them and ordered new ones online since they were out.

ordered the new ones on Sat. got the 1st one yesterday, 2nd one is here today.
[Nexus S General] The K-Zoo Kid:
Its funny, they sent me a tracking numver and i clicked on it and the estimated arrival date is today?
[Nexus S General] allen099:
This was my experience with the MT4G. One of them shipped with 8+ specs of dust (they were bright white and easy to see) and the others crept in around the bezel and between the hardware buttons. The N|S appears to have a pretty solid build in that regard...not too many open crevices for dust to sneak in after you've opened it.

OP congrats on your purchase. I hope you enjoy the phone!
[Android Apps and Games] WatermelonSlim:
So I am using an HTC Evo running Android 2.2 with HTC Sense.

I am trying to set up some playlists in the stock music player.

Creating the playlists in the music player is pretty straight forward. The problem is some of the song titles are too long to read on the screen. It doesn't have a landscape mode either, so that doesn't help.

I have friends who are musicians, and I have a lot of their music on my phone. They will give me, for example, a 4 disk set with 20 songs per disk and each song will be named SquishFunkJamsWinter2010Song5Disk2.

If I put the whole folder for each disk in a playlist, it defaults to putting song 10 before song 1, and the order is all weird. And when I try to change the order of the playlist, I can't read the end of the name because it's too long.

Does anyone know of a good app that will let me create or edit playlists and will work in landscape, or at least let me scroll over to read the end of the longer file names?

Also, does anyone know where the stock HTC music player stores the playlists that it creates?

I am looking for a way to do this on the phone, not a computer...

At that price its probably a POS...
[EVO 4G Accessories] jkdkaliman:
Thats was my original thought too...but at that price can you really go wrong?

I mean, even if its only as good as stock..you now have two extra batteries plus a doc charger and two backs.

I mean even if it isn't the best..its only $18 bux...

Was hoping someone already had that can review.

Worst case scenario= it IS a POS.....but there is a 30 day money back on it if thats the case.

[HD7 General] puri1:
I'm thinking of buying HTC hd7 but I herd it doesn't have smart dialing? So is it true ? No updates to make it work ? I hope to see some answers soon thanks.
[HD7 General] hukkguai:
Doesn't have smart dialing but you can always just put people that you call the most as a speed dial on your tiles.

Plus the Voice Dialing feature on this phone is very accurate.
[HD7 General] Jim Coleman:
It'd be nice if using a bluetooth headset didn't disable voice commands though eh!
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
It doesn't, I constantly dial using my Blueant Q2 Headset...
[HD7 General] puri1:
Thanks guys for all your replies. I think i will wait on the HD7 for now until it gets mature. Because i do use the smart dialing alot.
[HD7 General] FiyaFleye:
Honestly, I did too, and it was a little weird not using it, but you can type out a person's name in your call history and it searches for them in your contacts, so it's pretty much the same idea...
[HD7 General] puri1:
Thanks for the suggestion but I have tried it its not as convenient as the phone keys smart dial. But do you guys think there will be an update soon ? I was really hoping HTC would come up with state of art interface for the hd7 or you call it hd3. But its a big turn off for me and I'm sure for rest of you guys too. Windows 6.5 mobile is still a champ to me with hd 2.
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
I want to root my phone but now I got the notification about the new update. If I update I can still root right?
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:

[Wildfire General] Undeadllama:
First of all, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Im pretty new to all this and don't really know how things work here.

I think im pretty buggered, and im pretty far out of my depth now. Im just posting to see if anything can be done or if it's already too late. Sorry if im missing something obvious that can fix this, however after 3 days of messing with this stuff my brain is starting to blur lol. Ok so here it is:

Tried updating to froyo via the OTA update pushed out recently. That failed and ive tried various ways of getting froyo to install over the last few days using Clockworkmod recovery. I ended up pushing a load of system files onto my phone via adb just to let the updater-script get past assert's. The point is, this was obviously a bad idea as I now have some kind of messed up copy of froyo installed which will not boot up past the HTC splash screen. Problem: the half-cocked update replaced the Clockworkmod recovery with the stock recovery so I now cannot use nandroid to push a backup back onto the phone :(

To make things worse when I boot into the stock recovery I also can't get into adb/shell, it detects the device but just says offline. Tried a lot of things to get round this but nothing has worked. So as ive got stock recovery and can't seem to get into adb anymore it would appear ive pretty much run out of options unless something can be done with fastboot... I don't know what im doing with that though so any help would be appreciated.

HTC Wildfire T-Mobile UK

S-ON

HBoot - 1.01.0001

Radio - 3.35.20.10

Recovery - Stock

Im at the end of the road here. If anyone has any ideas to try I would be very very grateful, otherwise il have to go see how much T-Mobile wants to repair it :(

Thanks in advance !
[Wildfire General] HCDR.Jacob:
You'll need a goldcard and an RUU. Look up how to make a goldcard and let me know when you have one
[Wildfire General] Undeadllama:
Wow, thanks for the quick reply :)

I did try creating a goldcard yesterday (using android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/). So assume I DO have one for the time being...

however if it doesn't work and I need to create a new goldcard:

Since I can't get into adb or boot up android and therefore can't access my sd card through my phone I presume il have to go out and buy a cheap card reader tomorrow.

Also, I have to run this command again:

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid

But if I can't get into adb how would I go about doing this, can I get the CID of the sd card from a card reader?

As for the RUU, there's many to choose from on shipped-roms.com, does this sound about right?

RUU_Buzz_TMO_UK_1.14.110.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_130442_signed.exe

Thank you so much for your help.
[Wildfire General] Kalavere:
This this a decent guide from Paul over at MoDaCo.
[Wildfire General] Undeadllama:
Ok disregard my last post about a card reader... I managed to borrow a friends android phone since it appears goldcard's are specific to the sd card, not the phone. So after following the instructions I now definitely have a goldcard.

Also have the RUU mentioned in the previous post.

RUU_Buzz_TMO_UK_1.14.110.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35. 15.19_release_130442_signed.exe

Is this right, and what do I do with these now to get them on my phone? Ive tried running the RUU whilst in Hboot and in recovery but it wont recognise my phone, presumably because adb isn't working.

Thanks again for the help. :)
[Wildfire General] HCDR.Jacob:
There is another way to do it when it can only get into hboot. I'll look today for the method and let you know.
[Wildfire General] Undeadllama:
Ah I did manage to get round it in the end. Using the PC49IMG.zip hboot method. Tried pulling the rom.zip from the temporary files that are made when running the 1.14.110.1 RUU. But obviously as I had a newer hboot or bootloader or whatever it was and it wouldn't let me downgrade back to this version. So I went for the newest one, 2.22.405.1 I think it was. With that in the root of the sdcard everything was up and running again after it had finished installing over the top of the messed up system.

Only worked because T-Mobile's OTA was a slightly older version 2.21.110.2, thank god there was a newer version available on the interwebs. :)

Probably not the best way of doing it but im just glad ive got a working phone again. :P

Thanks for replying though.

Just on a side note... its bloody ridiculous that its so hard to downgrade android!!! It causes people like me, who don't really know what they're doing, large quantities of banging-head-against-wall sessions :(
[Wildfire General] HCDR.Jacob:
Yeah that's the method I was going to suggest, glad you sorted it out.

It's the fact that they lock out fastboot and stuff. If we had S-OFF from the factory, fixing these things would be so much easier
[Wildfire General] clairboy:
Hi,

how were you able to do this?

hello everyone. i have just bought the nook colors and i have some question.

like i can see the nook have a problem for read vidéos, why? what is the answer to this problem? the problem can be solved?

thanks
[Nook Color General] rckymtnrfc:
What app are you using to watch videos and what format are the videos in? I found using Handbrake to convert videos to mp4 or mv4, iPod Touch format, works wonderfully with the stock reader.
[Nook Color General] yemin88:
I Try to Watch vidéo in mpeg4 ( divx ) format or mkv, Why it doesnt work?
[Nook Color General] drksilenc:
what program are you trying to view it with, The only programs that can watch mkv are rock player and 1 other i cant remember what its called. To watch an mkv you need to make sure it is 480p otherwise it will studder out on the device

If you are trying to use the default software it will not work because it doesnt know how to read the mkv package
[Nook Color General] yemin88:
which program i need to use for watch avi vidéo ?
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
RockPlayer will also play avi files, but some people have reported some problems with the quality, like audio-video out of sync or stuttering.

It may be worthwhile to simply convert to video to mp4 using handbrake (the latest beta build works) and playing it with the built in player (simply called Video, I believe)

I have the latest blur update os.... its rooted with Z4root.... when I use setcpu to overclock it was maxed out to 1.0 ghz.. what are some great kernals so I can overclock to 1.2 which I hear makes a world of a difference on the droid x
[Droid X General] drewlamo1:
dont think DX has any kernels as of yet because of the locked bootloader.

i think there is an app you can buy on the market though that will overclock the dx

believe they modify the kernel after startup, not really sure cause i dont use it

1ghz is fine for me..

thikn its made by jrummy, try typing it in on the market see if it comes up
[Droid X General] kdkinc:
Also all chips are not created equal. They maybe in spec's but not all can achieve higher OC. I'm can't go over 1150 GHZ while some can go way higher. Speed does come with a price mileage may vary.

As suggested the JRummy app works great for me plain & simple.

:cool::cool:

check out some deblured Rom's if you want speed also there are some blended Blur Rom's coming soon to a phone near you.
