[Desire HD Accessories] justbenice:
i am using : Sandisk "Mobile Ultra" 16GB Class 6 card and i get : Read/write = 12MBs/17MBs . Its faster than any kingston or other class 10 microsd card branch.

I would alway use Sandisk even it class 6.

Before i use this card, it slow like hell with the default card when i copy,move,install, load game .v.v But eveything are just ... damn fast now with this new card :D

I'm using a class 4 16GB and I can record the camera's video without lag. When using the stock class 2 8GB, video recording lags quite badly.
[Nexus One Accessories] Jemjemejeremy:
I know this is a weird request, but does anyone know where I might get a Nexus One battery cover that doesn't have the camera opening?

Cameras are not allowed where I work, and I can't imagine going a whole day using a dumbphone.
[Nexus One Accessories] GldRush98:
Will that actually work though?

They could claim you could just pop the cover off and then your camera would work again. You'd essentially be smuggling a camera in... which I'm guessing if you work some place that doesn't allow camera phones in the first place, this would be an even bigger no no.
[Nexus One Accessories] lambasurm:
a thing like that would be just so senseless, it simply can not exist ;)

three words: do it yourself (or: get a new job :D)
[Nexus One Accessories] bennettm89:
Facilities with classified data/information/materials will not allow cameras. Getting a battery cover without the opening for the camera will not be conducive to the possibility of keeping your job. Co-workers will ask about what phone you have. They will Google. They will find out that it does have a camera. I would definitely just stick to a blackberry in your situation, it's not worth losing your job.

That being said, the camera is raised. A flat battery cover will not fit. A battery cover that is not flat will appear suspicious and awkward.
[Nexus One Accessories] diversificationied:
Call HTC and ask for a camera - less Nexus One.
[Nexus One Accessories] Meltus:
If you don't mind voiding your warranty, open it up and remove the camera temporarily. It shouldn't be too hard to do.

But yeah, it's not worth losing your job over. Just get a rubbish little work phone. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] PoisonWolf:
Finally decided to move over from HD2 once and for all last night. Set down and looked at my 10 tabs (did the reading a few days ago). Decided to scrap them all, I just followed the ADB Guide for newbies, and the wiki, and I was rooted, s-offed, and all that shbang within 30 minutes (including the hboot thingie which I have no idea what it does but I believe I'll need it for radio flashing).

That was extremely easy, and I want to thank the members who wrote all the guides for those steps!

The only hiccup I found with the Wiki is the GFree Verify step. If you can't get SU in the ADB Shell, don't forget to turn on the phone, because a Superuser Allow/Deny window actually pops up, and I didn't know this for the longest time and assumed I didn't root the phone!

Yay, and I woke up this morning with my phone on the floor (thankfully it's carpetted and inside a sleeve), so cheers to the first drop. :D

So people, just read read read!

Congrats and solid advice! Thanks to the people that carved the way and shared!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daswolven:
Have occasionally been impatient or careless and borked by trying to flash something from Rom Manager while running Voodoo kernels. The aftermath is sufficient to place me in a position of either a) Uninstalling Rom Manager, or B) Running non-voodoo kernels. Has there been any thoughts or effort put into defaulting Rom Manager to use the voodoo recovery? If this is something that has been looked at already, I haven't found the post.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keuka79:
I actually had a problem with the same situation, except i was running stock kernels at the time. I tried to run a nandroid backup from the voodoo recovery rather than the one that rom manager makes you download and i totally bricked my phone. Had to do a total restore to factory settings and start from scratch.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] G.D.Carter:
What warranty/Insurance did you guys get on your shift if any? If you got something besides what is on this list where did you get it, what does it cover, how much did it cost?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] the5ifty:
Do u mean insurance?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] yokken:
i got the best buy protection plan since it's only $3 more/month and there's no copay/surcharge if you do need to exchange your phone, whereas sprint's insurance is what, a $100 surcharge for a new phone?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] plmiller0905:
I got the Sprint TEP. Even though its $100 deductible it still covers more things than the bb insurance.

This was sent shifting on my EVO Shift 4G using Tapatalk
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] G.D.Carter:
They told me the deductible was 125$, anyone know what it is?
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] the5ifty:
Ditto, my wife droped 2 palm Pres in the toilet. The second one was a free damaged out replacement, and when that one took a swim ( 2 weeks ago) it also was unpreparable so they gave her a transform..a week later she took advantage of the 30 day exchange and got a evo shift the day it came out for $30 (the difference in upgrade cost of the 2).

If we had sprint ins. After the first palm swim we would be screwed... sprint doesn't cover water damage.

BBY FTW!
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] GumboChief:
You may want to google best buy phone insurance.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] the5ifty:
What problems have people had? We has 2 water damage replacements and a drop damage repair within a year no hassle... i did a Google search but most complaints seem to be dated around 2 years and back...
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] G.D.Carter:
Does sprint really not cover water damage? They say liquid, I assume that includes water ;)
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] BuddahWolf01:
yea I have the $7 sprint insurance and it still doesn't cover water damage.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] yokken:
i'm worried about accidentally getting it wet or dropping it and ****in up the plastic or something. i'm pretty sure best buy's insurance covers those so i'm good
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] oboroninja:
#1. Your wife needs to never ever carry her phone with her anywhere near a bathroom ever again...

#2. Sprints TEP covers Physical Damage, Liquid Damage including Water(sinks,toilets,lakes,baptisms ect.), it also covers loss of phone ex: theft, loss due to drunken nights, spiteful ex's ect... Any replacement due to loss, theft, or liquid damage, are covered up to a maximum of three times within a twelve month period.

You might want to do research first.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] mikejh337:
Sprint Warranty/Insurance

Looked into it. Sprint TEP now covers, since Oct. 24, 2010, manufacturer + loose charge ports, cracked screens, basic physical damage, within reason. The $100 deductible is only charged for lost, stolen, wet, or damaged beyond repair to the extent that the circuit board is showing/bent (i.e. run over by a truck.)

Evo Shift 4G + Sprint Total Equipment Protection!
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] the5ifty:
Thank you for the clarification,last time I looked into it at all was last Feb, I was unaware of the update. Sorry for the faulty info.

And by the way I have a 2year old son who likes mommy's phone...the water damage wasn't her fault lol
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] oboroninja:
Hahaha okay having a two year old explains it all. For a while there I was wondering how someone could drop there phone in the toilet twice, without learning their lesson :-P
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] wardfan220:
I dropped my Hero in the toilet once (glad it was clean water, lol). Shut it off immediately, removed the battery and let it dray all day. Still works like a champ. Well, it did until I exchanged it for a refirb the same day I upgraded to the Shift. The stupid trackball was acting weird, always had really.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] unityjasont:
another "water treatment" is to put your phone in a bath of DRY rice (totally surrounded, and I would pull back off, battery out and submerge each piece individually and leave it like that for a day. The rice is supposed to absorb the water out of the phone. I luckily have never had to do this, but I know people that have and it worked for them.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] silex:
^ Did you say "bath of dry rice"? Interesting.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] ttown:
That's only if you drop it in a bowl of Kung Pao Chicken!
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] EricSS619:
If you were ever worried about sprint not taking a water damaged phone than jsut say you lost it or it got stolen.

I mean sure you are lying, but who cares =P

I had insurance on my HTC Touch Pro and it got lost and then someone stole it. I tracked it to a house but I never called the police. (Yes I should have)

I decided to use my insurance, but when I found out I had to pay $100 deductible I said forget it. THe ended up being a waste of what.... Had the phone 13 months at $7 a month ... $91. Seems like the insurance is pretty much a rip off.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] grandebob:
I went with the BB black tie protection. I prepaid and got two years for the price of one. I figure when something better comes out in 18 months I'll shoot my phone out of a potato gun or something.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] Kirby Baker:
I got the BB $10 insurance plan. Tempted to use it too.

I have to say, this phone is built pretty solid! I was going up my stairs the other day (the kind without vertical treads so you can see through) and somehow the phone shot out of my hand at the top step, falling a good 8 feet down onto my brick floor. Back case came off, battery flew, and thought I was without a phone. Got it all snapped back together and the only issue is it scuffed up part of the metal on the top and bottom right corners of the screen section.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] mcbride731:
i have the Sprint TEP also. definitely came in handy when i just lost my phone. forgot i was even paying insurance and thought i'd have to pay another 400-500 for a phone lol. $100 deductible was quite nice.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] bilgerryan:
Anybody know if Sprint has Open Enrollment or anything like that or any company sell aftermarket insurance or something? We (my wife and I) got our phones through my wife's work (a hospital) for free with a 23% discount for our Sprint bill too. The phones were from Wirefly and we got the insurance with it for $5 a month, but a couple weeks after we got our phones my wife went to a Stevie Nix concert with her mother and lost her debit card which resulted in my card also getting canceled for security. This was the card that the insurance was being automatically debited from. I realized this and could not find any way to access the insurance info from Wirefly and by the time I gave up it was past the 30 days so Sprint would not let me get insurance through them. My touch screen is going out I think and I am currently laid off so I can't afford a new phone unless it's insured. Also isn't the Shift EOL (End of Life) with Sprint? Would I have to get a new phone (which I am thinking about even tho I love my little guy), kinda want a bigger screen and a bigger development community.
[EVO Shift 4G Accessories] alanthemanofchicago:
Not really. EOL doesn't matter, as long as they have some in stock. EOL means they will not sell new ones, but they have reserve storage for insurance claims, repairs, etc.
[Defy General] pjcons:
I'm not super happy with the DEFY camera. Other than that this phone rocks.

BUT I had a Moto Milestone XT701 for 6 months before getting a DEFY and the 5mp camera on that phone took the best pictures in any light, under any conditions. The DEFY struggles with too much light and the autofocus nowhere near as good as the XT701.

I know there was a software fix to get the XT701 up to 8mp, anything like that for the DEFY, or any other tips/comments on the camera?
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
Snow photos on defy looks AMAZING and ****ing clear!!

i am actually in the same boat.

went through almost all the pages here looking for some answers, but all i found was this.

my theory was the same, i thought it was the card had something to do with it, but then i realized that should affect the sim card.

this is the 2nd phone i go through with the same problem. nothing sounds broken, so what is it?
[HD7 General] Kalystograph:
Actually, now that i did a little more research (after most of it just came from the "UPGRADE YOUR MEMORY" bandwagon ) i found that the way the antenna is set up i guess if it hits the ground hard it causes it to detach, thus rendering the phone pretty much useless. HTC claims its irreparable, but i don't think its true.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Try using speedmod's kernels on the link below. They have some kind of charge protection into them that says charge full when battery is like 98% or so full. This avoids getting full charge helping fix charge death.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880

Edit: Don't worry abt losing that 2%. These kernels are pretty battery efficient and make up for that 2% charge.

I'm getting my replacement phone back soon as well, (with JL2). I haven't found a concise answer on here. Has JL2 fixed the problems, or do the new phones still have defective hardware?

Do you own one of the Bell versions of the Galaxy S (i9000M)? Then you're 100% at risk. The only question appears to be when it'll fail. Who knows, maybe it'll never fail over the life of your contract.

Use SuperOneClick. It works for me every time z4root doesn't (and I know for certainly that it works on JL2).

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
I'm not 100% this is true or not, what I can say is that since JL2 there have been "ALOT" less reports of Internal SD's failing since the release of JL2. I believe the fix is in the SBL (secondary Boot Loader) that is included with JL2. When installing custom rom's this does not get replaced. This is why I I suggest going to JL2 first then to a custom rom of your choice. Only way to replace the .sbl is to flash a full rom using Odin that includes a .sbl.

My 12.10 phone has been running very good I have flashed it 20+ times easily now. My first phone I flashed maybe 3 times before it died.......
