[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwrpm:
I never tried a phone-to-phone bluetooth transfer with my MyTouch 4G. I stopped that a while ago when most of my friends got iPhones and could no longer do bluetooth transfers. I don't see why it shouldn't be able to do it though. If I had another phone to connect with I would test it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
I've transferred from myTouch 4g to blackberry curve. Thats without an app. If I'm not mistaken the myTouch 3g doesn't support phone to phone. Was introduced in the myTouch slide. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
No, you don't need an app. You can transfer and receive pics, music, videos and probably more as long as the other phone supports it. If not supported then yeah app would be useful.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlean:
Yea, same here, but my last phone is a mytouch 3g too like my brothers
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjlean:
How do you do it then?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
On the myTouch 4g long press on the item you want to transfer or hit the share button then hit via Bluetooth. That's how I did it. Now if you're trying to transfer to the myTouch 3g, remember it does not support file transfer through Bluetooth. That's when you could probably use an app. Try "Bluetooth file transfer" app in the market if transferring to mt3g. That's the only one I've checked out before.

Try transferring to different phone as well without app.

So I flashed RLS 5 and flashed the radio/wimax combo first, during it i didn't know what the green down arrow was so i stupdily battery pulled. Dumb -- I know, but I didn't see that description of a normal radio flash anywhere. I know I had my 4g keys when I was running rls 4, how do i got about restoring my wimax.img? Any ideas? I of course did a nandroid before going to rls 5.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt4200:
You just have to do a nandroid restore from one that still had the 4g keys in amons recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
you have no idea how lucky you are... lol

You should be able to just restore it like matt said or you could flash the image itself while in the recovery. It would probably be much easier just to restore though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
So if I nandroid to the backup i did in RLS4 right before I did RLS5 that will include the old radio and should boot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
it will include the wimax radio, you will probably want to finish updating your radios properly though.

edit: it may not be a bad idea to run the RUU just to make sure everything is how it should be, as long as you have used unrevoked forever at some point you won't have to worry about rooting again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil-dice:
...10 minutes later, restored to my previous nand, reflashed this time rls 5 THEN radios. Now I have the correct 4g mac address and

:) AWWWWWWW YAAAA.

Knot falls out of stomach. Can you believe i friggin battery pulled THREE times during radio update last night? Probably lucky I don't have a fancy brick.... Thanks everyone, love this forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
wow...........

green arrow down + pulled battery + 9 times out of 10 = brick

praise the wimax gods!!!!

heh

You are very lucky. The other guy that did that in Myns thread ended up with a brick.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phajen:
I forget how I did it, but I too my wimax.img and used adb to push it to the correct partition while in recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
if u have ur wimax.img you can restore your keys easy
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottria:
Please show me how!!! I somehow lost my 4G but have a wimax.img in one of my backups. I have tried a lot of different things and still the Wimax RSA key checker says Sorry, your WiMAX key is missing!

I tried this, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10380361&postcount=1517 with no luck.

I tried adding the wimax.img to another Nandroid and edited the md5, not sure if I even did that correctly.

This might have already been solved, but I'm so excited that I'll post this.

Thanks to Roto's firmware update, Roto-JME-Upgrade-v3.zip, upgrading my Euro GSM tab bought from Germany, to JME firmware, my Exchange sync problem has been solved.

I can now connect to an Exchange 2010 SP1 server with the built in client without problems. My firmware are:

PDA: P1000XXJME

PHONE: P1000XXJHA

CSC: P1000XAJME
[Galaxy Tab General] xenomage:
hi,

i'm also having exchange sync issues on my Tab.

My firmware version is P1000DXJJ2. How can i update to the ROTO-JME firmware?

Thanks.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
I know this condoned but is it possible for someone to buy an app/game from the Android Market, copy it to memory, get a refund, then reinstall the copy? It seems like developers should have protection to prevent this, but is this why they reduced the refund time from 24 hours to 15 minutes? Seems like 15 minutes is more than enough time to do the steps above.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
You wouldn't be able to get any updates that the app would get if said app were to get updates
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
That makes sense. And I guess they dont allow you to buy the app again and get a 2nd refund. If thats the case, I dont see why developers have an issue with the old refund time period.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I thought it was always a nice thing to say in comparison to Apple and their image.... "yeah, Android also lets you try out paid apps a full 24 hours, as opposed to a click and pray the app doesn't suck approach like apple"

I can't do that anymore.. Not really.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ad505:
Does anyone know of a case that is like all the snap-on cases on the market yet holds the two halves of the phone together? I envision a little clip with a button by the microphone or something that, when depressed, releases the top half of the phone to expose the keyboard.

Anything like this out there???

Thanks!

This thread is for a belt clip holster. I am looking for a case that covers the phone and holds the two halves together (via a locking closure), nothing like the innocase holster that this thread is talking about. I'm seriously thinking about doing some DIY action on a case. I'm baffled that a company has yet to make a case that addresses the "loose hinge" design of the phone...

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] FrenicX:
Well they are just covering their butts by helping HTC deny that their is even a problem. If they develope product that claims to solve it then it may hurt future business relations if not bring forth some kind of lawsuit from HTC.

Sure when there's thousands of forum threads in many languages across the web aswell as a bankrupting amount of returns due to this issue.. it's still an "unofficial issue" until an important party makes it so.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ad505:
Ya it's really frustrating. I accept that it's the "design" of the phone. I just want an option outside of a DIY method to help keep it closed. Shucks..

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mstyle88:
Yeah mine is loose too, annoying even when the phone is closed. Scotch tape is your only answer!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ad505:
But I love the keyboard...

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] htcg2:
I think the best answer for a case would be a small magnet in the case to hold the two parts together until you want to separate them. I think you might be able to DIY with an existing case, a strong magnet, and some strong glue (i don't thing super glue will work because I don't think magnet is a non-porous substance). I would try it with some tape and see how it works before breaking out the glue. Tape/glue it to the case, not the phone, so that if it goes wrong you wont be stuck with it on your phone. I'm not sure about the long term effects of a magnet right next to the phone is though, and i definitely wouldn't use anything too strong, because the innards of you phone are made from metal, and it could rip something loose or play around with you flash memory. Let us know how it goes for you, or if someone finally makes a case which addresses this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] btate0121:
+1 to the magnet idea. i've given this idea some thought too but my level of lifehackery is too noob too attemp. i do see 2 pads on the keyboard side of the phone that could possibly be a good place to put magnets if the opposing side on the screen is hollow or if the magnet is thin enough. another thought...

double sided tape?

I jest...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ianmcquinn:
Using magnetic tape on the sides of the keyboard has been talked about a lot and attempted by some people with success (do a search for it, there are pics of the mod).

There was also a case posted in this forum a while back that actually did have a clip that snapped the two halves together. Can't remember what it was called though.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
Just wondering if anyone else went in on this plan. For $10 a month the phone is covered and insured with no dedudtible for any reason (as long as you bring ima piece of the phone in. Also is covered for scratches or anything else. Anyone have this or have negative reasons on it? JW as I'm fairly skeptical even though I put in for it. (Cancel at any time)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayrod1980:
I'm glad there are other people that brought this up. I have this too and fully intend to utilize it, as the damn platinum case has scratched my phone and I'm anal about that. They will surely lose money off me from this. I'm wondering how hard a replacement will be to get with the black tie protection. Also, once you make a claim, can you make another down the road or is it one and done?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyacrash:
I bought it. for $10 a month with no deductible I totally think it's worth it. and it's so much easier just bringing it in the store as opposed to having to send it to tmobile.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenarcher707:
I'm glad you guys have utilized the plan. As a mobile manager for best buy i can assure you that your phone will be covered for repairs and accidental damage. Water damage is covered also. I recommend filing a claim for battery replacement right away since it is part of the coverage, so now you'll have an extra battery (which you only paid $10 for). Let me know if you guys got any questions.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theinternot:
I did too. I got the impression that the it would always be required to be sent out to see if it can be fixed or needs replacement. Not like the iPhone where they give a refurbished at the register. But, better than tmobiles warranty. Probably keep it no longer than 6 months.. diminishing returns and all that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenarcher707:
We usually give you a comparable loaner phone depending on which model you have. Obviously it won't be a high end android but it's better than nothing. Here's the loaner phone lineup in my store.

Sprint - Samsung Intercept, HTC Hero or LG Optimus

T Mobile - MyTouch Slide, LG Optimus T

At&T - HTC Aria

VZW - Moto Devour, Moto Droid
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
How do you do that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayrod1980:
When you make a claim they have to order a phone? As in it's done through the mail?

The warranty is nice but since I've already gone through 3 exchanges for defects, I'd be worried about getting another with banding, creased glass, or unresponsive back button if I can't actually see the phone in person.

Anymore info on the black tie plan? I've got my new accessories on order and I need to know if there's any stipulations with the warranty
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenarcher707:
Call the 800 number on your black tie protection brochure and request for a battery replacement. They will mail you the battery, no other steps needed. Verify your mailing address to be on the safe side.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenarcher707:
You will have to visit a Best Buy store so you can get a loaner phone while your device is out for repair. We have a strict no lemon policy so if it's considered defective 3 times / or deemed unrepairable you are eligible for a replacement for the same phone or get credit towards a device of your choice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpearce:
looking for a horror story? right this way sir....

i had a problem with white spots on my screen and the usb port on the phone not charging. i took it into best buy so the could send it off for repair. what these guys are failing to tell you about the loaner phones is that a $150 deposit is required. anyhow, 2 weeks later i get a call that my phone is in. well, the screen issues weren't even addressed and while the usb port now charges, i can't transfer data using my pc. so i had it right back, while still in the store. they said it would have to be sent out again, but will be marked for escalation, which i'm told means it will be sent overnight, bumped up in que for immediate repair and sent back overnight. flash forward one week and i find out that my phone was sent through general mail, meaning it took the phone one week to arrive at the tech center. i asked why it wasn't overnighted. yesterday i got an email from a geek squad representative saying that while they apologize for the inconvienence, the store's request that my phone be escalated was denied. no reason given when asked why. so i am going to be without my phone for at least a month, which i am finding out is the norm when dealing with BB and black tie protection. my advice would be to avoid BB altogether.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
if we dont opt in for the store insurance, do we call google or samsung if the phone breaks down from anything besides user wear?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Thats a little hard to do if you live in America and want a Nexus S. People often forget that stores are chains and that while service might be horrible at one location, it will be different at another. I used to work for BB (I quit because I hated the corporate morality towards their employees) but our store had amazing customer service which is still does (I bought my Nexus S there). However, the BB in the next city of sucks donkey balls. We very often had people coming from that BB into ours and telling us how incompetent we were until they realized we were different than the other store.

I've known a lot of people who have had great luck with black tie. And a few who had bad luck. Its people, not the company. If you have an issue with a location, complain to corporate or don't buy from that one and go to another.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpearce:
Go to BB own website. Visit their community forums, especially the Best Buy & Geek Squad Policies. You will find that black tie protection and BB customer service is going down the drain at a record pace. Not every complaint is legitimate for sure, but notice that on not 1 single complaint does BB take responsibility for anything. It is always just a mistake, a error on someone else's part or it is beyond their control. Never a "whoops, sorry about that. Here, let us make that up to you."
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Have you ever heard a corporation say that publicly? I saw and made sure every customer walked out happy when I worked there (again, I left because of corporates attitude towards us, the employee). I happily got the protection because I know the store to which I would be going and I know they will have my ass.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayrod1980:
Wow. I wonder why your experience was so different from mine. I was one day removed from being able to exchange mine and my phone had a semi dead touchscreen. I showed the bbm Guy and he suggested using the warranty. Since my problem was intermittent, he subtly suggested that I drop my phone a few times and really break it if I was concerned they wouldn't be able to replicate the problem I had with the phone. I couldn't stomach breaking the phone I'd been raking such good care of. So we walked over to the geek squad counter and he explained my problem and that he was able to see it and that it was intermittent. The geek Guy looked up the phone in his system to start the process and let me know that the phone qualified for rapid exchange, meaning they just shipped a new phone right away. They had me keep the box and back plate and battery and just took the bare phone. This was Sunday night. It was supposed to take 3 to 5 business days and it was ready Wed afternoon just before my area got hit by a snow storm. Took me 8 and a half hours to get home that night so I didn't pick it up till the following day, but when I got to the counter they handed me a brand new shrink wrapped nexus s box. The phone inside was brand new, with a perfect screen and no found issues yet! I also now have 2 back plates, 2 batteries, data cables, etc!

Why did they rapid exchange for me and gave you the shaft? I'm wondering if it was the store you went through? Mine wasn't a tmo activator store btw. They only had the normal 4 at a time and couldn't activate tmo.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetagrawal:
120 bucks for a year of protection on the phone that might be worth around 300 at that time? Yeah that's quite a bit of cash. At least do the squaretrade which is 100 for 2 years and it's transfettable
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
Its worth it to me because once the next nexus comes out I can smash the nexus s in the parking lot and walk right in for an exchange of the new one :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetagrawal:
Well, I guess I have a different set of ethics than you do.

But that aside, are you sure they will replace it with the next model? Have you done this before, is it explicitly written like that in the agreement, or are you just assuming this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
i was being sarcastic, but i did read on other boards that people (with blackberrys) were doing that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hostile89:
One should always read the terms and conditions when purchasing a ESP or insurance because salesman are sometime misinformed.

I think it should be noted that nowhere in the Black Tie Protection Terms does it state that covered phones will be replaced with new. It states (as most plans do) that your phone will be repaired or replaced as they see fit and parts or replacement may be refurbished. I have read that some have gotten theirs replaced with new but that doesn't guarantee this will always be the case.

I would assume that as parts become available they will start to repair and/or refurb these phones instead of giving out new ones.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
There is one specific condition in which a new phone will be awarded regardless, and that is the No Lemon policy. After three repairs, on your fourth, you get a new product of equal value to the original purchase. Now, its been awhile since I worked at Best Buy and I'm having trouble remembering the specifics of the plan: My memory tells me that there is a catch in there. I can't remember the specifics but its something about the value of the product not translating directly, IE: you don't get a brand new $500 phone. I could be wrong but that is how my foggy memory is leaning right now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hostile89:
Bolding is by me. The Terms for any ESP will always benefit the company selling it. The Black Tie Protection may still be a good deal for most people but you should know what you are paying for. I can not stand when a salesperson misinforms (intentional or unintentional) consumers about the policies of these protection plans and what is guaranteed in writing.
