Wow that sucks man. I know a lot of Sprint reps and almost all of them are rooted and running custom roms. I would delete the img file off of the sdcard and take it to a different Sprint store. It really depends on who you are dealing with, so try taking it to a different Sprint store if you can. If not, try to find a day where that guy isn't working lol. I'm sorry about your luck, but some people are just ridiculous. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] CEaton:
Take to a different sprint store with a clean SD card and hope there aren't notes on the account?
[EVO 4G General] cjh6386:
I was told that my phone has been red flagged, and it will show up as having been rooted at other sprint stores.
[EVO 4G General] superm1:
Yeah, but you don't know that to actually be the case or just a scare tactic. I still say go to another store and try.

If they start talking about it being flagged on your account for being rooted, your best bet is to play dumb.
[EVO 4G General] awrnsmn:
I really doubt that, I bet that is more of a scare tactic. Try what the others have said then take it to another store, you'll be fine.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
So because your phone had a PC36IMG on your storage card that automatically means its been rooted? That's BS. I would call Sprint and talk to them. I would tell Sprint that you only had the file on your SD card because the phone wouldn't boot and you were trying to fix it since the store wouldn't help (the first store). When calling sprint its all in who you talk to and I always start off as nice as possible.

[EVO 4G General] awrnsmn:
Agreed, I never had a problem with Sprint CS as long as you are calm, nice and reasonable.....
[EVO 4G General] cjh6386:
Yes. Like I said, I then removed my SD card and gave the phone back and asked him to show me that it has been rooted. He didnt even try, he just told me that "they know now" and that once you root "there are always files left behind" and they can always tell. I knew it was BS but they weren't giving me an inch. I was indeed very polite the whole time, while also pressing the issue.

I am pretty livid and I am almost to the point where I'd rather cancel my account then give them any more money for service.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Well I have told the computer when I first call and its asks why I'm calling I say cancel account. That will get you to someone who can actually do something. No TEP is a real downer in this case. Got another store around?

[EVO 4G General] cjh6386:
@zone

yes, there are several other stores around me with repair centers. They aren't uncommon in orange county.

Another thing I forgot to mention, at the very end of the debate with the repair tech, after he told me "there are always files left behind that we can check" after it has been rooted, I asked him to explain these files to me and if he could show me, he told me no and that "he's not allowed to tell customers that."

LOL. I don't like how the sprint representatives think they can screw with their customers like that.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
To expand a little more and how different stores are. I called the store and asked what their policy was on rooted phones. They said as long as it wasn't software they didn't care. So after they couldn't fix the phone (bad ear piece) they ordered another one and told me they could only give me the replacement if I brought mine back in the original unrooted state. So that's what I did. Some of these stores just seem to have some real asses working.

[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Of course with all that said I can somewhat understand where the stores are coming from. With all these SBC kernels and overclocking they probably think you damaged the processor. I'm not taking their side I'm just saying there are all kinds of people. The problem with rooting is you could absolutely damage the phone. Again I'm not saying this is the case just looking at it from another prospective that may help you negotiate a replacement phone.

[EVO 4G General] ifly4vamerica:
Not sure if this will work but try rerooting then flash caulkins "format all" then reload a rom then flash new kernel and new radios, without 1.90 pri and nv see if that helps the reboot issue. i'd recommend Azreals stock turbo 3.70 rom. Had a friend with the axact same problem, this fixed it. I also reformatted his sd card while i was at it.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
these techs know when a phone has been rooted. and yes they will flag your account for a rooted phone. my advice is to pay the fee they are asking.
[EVO 4G General] weidnerj:
Sorry to hear about your visit to the Sprint store...

1. It isn't illegal to root your phone any more. They passed a law not to long ago:

http://www.knowyourcell.com/news/548133/new_law_makes_jailbreaking_and_unlocking_legal.html

2. There is no way to tell if a phone was rooted. They are assuming that because you left the PC36IMG on your SD card. If the technician paid attention and seen you had it set in the off position, but that doesn't prove anything either.

3. Sounds like you got a guy that gets off being a jerk. Not the customer service type of person that Sprint needs working for them. Common sense says if you have the stock firmware back on the phone and it still is acting up, that the phone is defective. Not to endorse fraud, but if you nuked your phone or ran over it with your car and brought the pieces in, you would have been better off then being honest.

4. Your phone should still be under manufacturers warranty since the phone came out June 4th, so no way that have owned an EVO for a year yet.

5. I have found E-mailing to dan@sprint.com seems to get results. Corporate wants to make things right, and they have the power to get things done.

Wish you the best of luck!
[EVO 4G General] cjh6386:
@zone

I can see where they are coming from as well. For morality's sake though, I can truthfully say I have never experimented with voltage modifying kernels or SBC kernels, etc. Only a few popular roms.

@ifly

If tomorrow I am still unsuccessful I will try more software options, although I am 95% positive it is a hardware issue. This is coming from a network engineer who is very familiar with hardware systems.

@fixxer

I was perfectly happy to pay them the $35 repair fee in order to get my replacement. I never said that I wouldn't. In fact at one point a sprint representative offered to do that, I said good, that is exactly what I came in for. She came back and said nevermind, I can't because it is rooted.

@weidnerj

Thanks for the link, and it sounds like we are on exactly the same page. Thanks for the contact, I will see what I can do with Dan.

I plan on trying another sprint store tomorrow to see if the phone is actually flagged.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
Even if it is flagged I would tell them the phone wasn't rooted and hell I don't even know what that means. I have no idea were the other store even got that idea. Little white lie.

[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
rooting still voids your sprint warranty & contract. that law only applies to unlocking phones to work on various gsm networks. jailbreaking isn't technically legal either on iphones.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
We are adults we know rooting technically void the warranty. It's generally posted at the top of every ROM thread.

[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
this is reeeealy starting to piss me off...

a little background: my first evo was random rebooting. i had to wait so long that it couldnt even turn on successfully without rebooting for a refurb. i get the refurb, and after a week realize the panel is screwed. i dont do much about it, and just deal. of course, with the refurbs, you need to keep the same battery, which is bad for me because mine had spend an entire day out of the phone in my pocket on a very hot (90 f) day.

so i install sbc and stuff, uninstall it when all the warnings and scares start coming. and all of the sudden, my phone starts rebooting again. it usually happnes when i am playing games, but sometimes when the phone is charging, it will reboot if i open an app. not good. again, i cant just rush to the sprint store cuz its not like i can drive myself, so...

anybody have any tips for a temporary (or maybe even permanent) fix for random reboots? my first step will be a battery replace...

thanks

[EVO 4G General] goodboynyc:
Are all the radios up to date?
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
yep. thanks for the reply. radios up, pri, prl, profile, hboot, caulkins newest, etc etc etc.

i'm pretty sure its a hardware problem. now any way to fix or at least make it less bad?
[EVO 4G General] mastet68:
I have exact same issue. I am on my 4th replacement. After 2 other refurb's,( one was out of the box dead), I finally got a new one from the store. I got rid of what I found to be a faulty seidio charger. But, it just happened again...so...gettting rid of any third party chargers....

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
CorePlayer has supposedly been demoed at CES and Core is at the stage now where they're just "Working on the Market LVL" (whatever that is) and fixing some bugs. It'll certainly not be a free app, and probably quiet expensive, (The existing versions are $29.99!) but if you have a look at their site you can see that it supports pretty much everything imaginable (ala VLC really).

Given the high price, the app is going to need to be a lot better than VPlayer etc, and realistically no matter how good it is, I'm not paying that much for a video player app. It's possible that the Apple & Android versions may be more realistically priced seeing as there _is_ good competition on those platforms (i.e VLC, VPlayer/Rockplayer, Galaxy tab's native player even).

They've been saying "soon" for several months, maybe now they've supposedly demoed the product (although no one seems to have actually seen it), it won't be far off.

It's always good to have options.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
I wouldn't worry too much about the pricing:-

1. PC versions are always more expensive than App only.

2. To remain competitive Coreplayer will have to keep their pricing 'realistic'.

My guess is we shall see this title hitting the App store for something around the $9.99 mark.

An issue will be with the H.264 codec, which Google are in the news with at the moment.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
It's not the PC versions that are $29.99, it's the mobile versions!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
WHAT..... You've got to be joking.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
I know, I had to double-check that one, but every one of the mobile versions is $29.99.

Methinks their marketing dept is a bit optimistic.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] AlexTheStampede:
I'm not too excited about this. Every time i did try a CorePlayer, the results sucked!

Might be because it had never been too.... paid, but not being able to play mp3 or h264 in the Mac version? lol.

And file support varies hugely depending on the platform, the big one is just for Windows, everything else is crippled.

But maybe they'll surprise me, who knows!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
It is possible to build a (free) version of VLC for Android now and a proper release of it shouldn't be far off, so Core's app is going to have to be both very good and very cheap, or they're not going to get very far.

That said, they're releasing it for iOS as well which already has VLC, so it'll be interesting to see what their gameplan is. VLC isn't exactly the most attractive application, so maybe they'll have a fantastic UI.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Beards:
Agreed..... Attractive UI or not, Coreplayer as good as it's name has previously made it is up amongst some serious competition.

They are going to have to forget their previous popularity on the territory they once used to hold well and be realistic on pricing if they desire to attain their status.

Having to pay for codec's is one thing but not at the expense of making you financially unpopular.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] drksilenc:
core player has been around since winmo 5.5 days and it was even on palm os and no i dont mean web os. It was the ONLY player for it back then but then they started charging an arm leg and one other part for it on winmo. why would u pay 30$ for it if you can get rock player at 10 which supports the exact same thing
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] stoolzo:
I think coreplayer will have more codec support when it is released, however..... corecodec have consistently misled its customer for years on when something is going to be released and what development will continue once released.

I paid that silly sum for coreplayer winmo6 as it stated on their website that "hardware encoding for MSM chipsets was coming soon". I had a touch HD (HD1) so the thought of being able to play all my ripped dvd on my little phone was very appealing.

They then promised more support with Version "2" and I am sure people bought version 1 thinking 2 was near to release as this was posted a number of times on their website forums. None of this happened.

We are now back to square one with Android, they have been working on this for more than 18 months and have very little to show for it in that if this pans out like their other efforts it will probably never happen and be 12 months behind everything else when they are supposed to be innovating.

Dont hold your breath, stick with Rockplayer.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] RedSkyRoad:
I had Coreplayer on my N96 and it's BY FAR the best audio player out there...

I'm sitting on the edge of my chair for purchase...
[Captivate General] rsnt:
Hey people,

I just got a new Samsung Captivate through rogers, I had 2 galaxy s i9000m and they both died, one is now on its way to samsung for replacement (I hope.)

The captivate has stock firmware (Eclair 2.1-update1, I896UXJI2)

I plan on rooting it and installing a custom ROM asap, but i was listening to music earlier and saw a real nice lockscreen player widget, drops from the top bar if you pull the half cd image.

Any chance i can get that on froyo once i install a ROM? or is it available with froyo as well?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
I've recently flashed through Doc's Kitchen, and want to know how to remove all the "Video Call" options and prompts.

Research has dictated that I need to replace random components related to the Phone.apk, Contacts.apk, and some dialer activity apk. What would work with JPY natively that doesn't have the increasing ring?

EDIT: Did a bit of guess and check, I managed to fix the dialer by lifting Phone.apk and DialerTabActivity.apk. Contacts now makes acore FC.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Check for a JPY ROM that does not have video call option in it, and pick the "DialerActivityTab.apk" from there and copy it to urs.

Location: /system/app

Note: Make sure to backup urs first in case u mess up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephenv1971:
Well.....

No ones actually done it yet for phone.apk and dialeractivitytab.apk afaik. I think that MikeyMike and ChanceM are currently working on something for Serendipity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delgoth:
No offense, but that doesn't really answer the question. Nothing is really learned by just using an apk that has it done.

But Serendipity has most of those references taken out already. The next update should have them all taken care of.

Hi, I have an idea for an app but lack the knowhow to create it.

It is a relatively simple idea, an app that allows you and your friends to connect to a "racing track" (Made on google maps) and for it to show your friends speed, distance in front of you and the remaining distance of the track.

I have not been able to find anything similar to this on the market. If anyone thinks this app would be useful/cool and wants to develop it please let me know.

:D
[Android Software Development] KelvinMead:
I like thw way your thinking but this has sooo many flaws that would just not make it marketable.

Is this for being on foot? If so, not bad, but quite dull I imagine.

If its by car, then youre inciting speed, using a mobile whilst driving, and not paying attention to the road.

Maybe if you had a start position, and then the end position, plus the route was secret til tou reached certain checkpoint?

posted direct from the legend that is the x10i... the fastest processor, the slowest response...
[Android Software Development] KGBxxx:
Lmao. It would be sweet. But I can't help think of death and a complete disregard for traffic laws while using this type of app. Hilarious.
[Android Software Development] yguns76:
If you are talking about running, I believe CardioTrainer has a feature to race people around the world. I have not tried it out.
[Android Software Development] hackbob:
i think (hope) that dr_ownage it's referring to something like trackaroo but reference to your friends / anyone who use the app on the same track.

For example I used to record and post videos when "racing" in Monza Gp Track once a year; it would be good to see pals times in real-time while driving and "race" a little bit.

Sometime you are half a lap distant of your pal and no one wants to stop and wait for the others (yep we are competitive and we have payed fair enough to waste even a single second).

+1 for the idea, I could've helped (I'm a java developer) but I have my hands full with other projects.

Regards
[Android Software Development] Dr_Ownage:
It does not necessarily require the disregard of laws. You see there would be certain areas of road where the speed limit is far beyond what someone would/could reach around an uphill curvy road.

On google maps you can make routes could we use this predetermined route as our race track?

Could we display this map on the bottom half of the screen?

on the top half could we have rectangular boxes filling the screen in width displaying |driver name|current speed|distance in front|

eg.

|John|60km/h|50m |

|Matt|62km/h|25m |

|Me |58km/h|-----| (display this one larger)

|Mike|65km/h|-20m|

then if mike we to over take me, his name would swap position with mine.

I was thinking there should be an emergency button so if someone has a problem you can hit the button and their name on everyones screen would start flashing so people know to stop and wait.

Could the times and tracks be stored and recorded, for ghost racing (beat your own times or friends time without them been there)?

I dont think this app would mean you have to break the law it would just be a good way to go driving together in general. There are lots of roads where the speed limit is FAR above what you can reach around when your going uphill and around a corner.
