[HD2 General] vagelisv:
Hello guys,

I can't believe in my ears and I would like to discuss this with you.

My HD2 has the usual "touch screen not responding" problem.

When I sent it back, htc told me that my touch screen needs to be changed and that this is part of the warranty that they will cover but there is an extra cost (actually bigger than buying the phone) for changing the main board which cannot be covered by htc because "plugging and unplugging the device in power has destroyed it".

Is this even possible or are they trying to just void my warranty?

I should tell you that my usb connector cable was working fine when I sent it to warranty!
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Did you sent it with the battery included?

If so, then if the battery had a charge on it, then that would surely indicated that it had been charged via the USB.

Now if the USB went faulty at the same time as the touchscreen, then it must be a fault with the motherboard. Since they have admitted that they would fix the touchscreen problem as part of the warranty, then the motherboard must be fixed.

They designed the phone to use the microUSB connector to charge the phone and knew that the phone would have to be charged almost every day. So it is their fault, unless they can prove that you were extremely harsh at inserting and removing the cable.
[HD2 General] vagelisv:
no the battery was not sent with the phone.

They didn't tell me that the usb is defective. They just told me that the mainboard needs replacement for the new touch screen to work because the connector of the touch screen on the mainboard is destroyed because of the usb unplugging which is even more outraging!!

I have watched the disassemble of the hd2 and I can't seem to find out how the usb charging could screw the connector of the touch screen on the mainboard. I think they are not even close!

Are they playing me?
[HD2 General] kecido:
I don't know how the display and the micro usb connectors are placed, but, because what you're saying, I would definitively say that they're trying to cheat you, I don't know where you live, but I would try to reach the HTC service center in your country or zone (in case you didn't), their representatives tend to be not very "correct" with the customers, I sent my HD2 to repair in warranty (wifi plus uneven display retro-illumination) and it returned jusk like new, I taked to one of their representatives, but they send it to HTC's main offices here, I contacted HTC first and they told me excatly what to do and how to do it.

The workshop where I took my phone to be sent to HTC is well known to be not very "honest" and most of the people who take a phone, pda or whatever there, finish angry and deluded.

good luck then.
[HD2 General] daemonfly:
From what I've seen and read in recent threads, broken USB connectors don't affect the touch screen in any way.
[HD2 General] vagelisv:
I will talk to the representatives today in my country and inform you. I really think they are playing me. I can't seem to find any reason how the usb connector and the touch screen are linked
[HD2 General] vagelisv:
Ok I just talked to the representatives here in Greece and they seem to be the rudest I have ever met. So I called the global HTC service. The guys there were more than helpful. I decided to send the phone to United Kingdom.

So let's say that the phone comes back from HTC's service in the UK without charge and I have an official answer from HTC's service in Greece that this cost is not covered by warranty what can I do to let HTC know that the service here in Greece works awful?
[HD2 General] kecido:
Write down an email explainig in detail what happened and send it to HTC's main support with the UK support and the Greece support in CC and see what happen.

Cheers

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xThe Enforcer:
I really lucked out.

I originally got the Samsung Focus for 1¢ and was VERY disappointed.

They did an exchange for the Captivate.

Best choice I ever made; I'm addicted to it!

And also, I got the Captivate for 1¢ :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z28james:
I got mine for $49. A bummer because it shortly after dropped to a penny but $49 is still better than $199 I'd say.

My original phone was bricked from a firmware upgrade. I called, explained the situation and they sent me a new one no questions asked.

I will definitely be a returning customer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
I tried, but they couldn't deliver as promised. Supposed free 2 day shipping turned into 7 days, so I called to cancel the order since I was leaving for the holidays. They then promised to overnight me one. When it didn't arrive I called and same problem, it was shipped by ground and would not be here for another 6 days. Told them to cancel it and restore my upgrade eligibility. Ended up getting one on sale from Radio Shack.

Yeah, I use wifi as much as possible but it would be nice to always leave data on and not worry when I go out. I don't think I'll ever use up 2GBs in a month though.

Hi all,

i need a widget with a button that enable/disable background data. I searched on android market and i googled for it, but with bad results.

So does exist a widget that do that?

Why all widget menage auto sync but there's not any widget the enable/disable background data ? I'm talking about menu -> settings-> Account & synchronization -> Backgroud data :)

Sorry for my english (i'm italian) and thanx for the replyes.

[Defy General] doliver55:
Hi

Wonder if you guy's can help. Just got a sim free defy and have noticed it seems very data hungry from the off.

Installed a data app and its saying im using 5 mb + a day.

What is it doing, to use all this data all i seem to have done is put my location in the weather app thats built in, logged on to my face book and thats about it. oh and set up my o2 email account.

Cant seem to find how to limit the size of email download in the accounts.

How can i monitor each individual program and find out which ones causing the problem.

Dave
[Defy General] BiTXBoi:
you could try setting up something on 'data manager'
[Defy General] doliver55:
Whats everybody else's usage average out each day only asking cause its my works phone sim and don;t want to get stung for data usage. :rolleyes:
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
Today it's 2,76MB, though I've used 1,39GB over the last month.
[Defy General] [UT] X-RAY:
I have 3GB included in my contract. couldn't care less about traffic ...

but if you want absolute control install droidwall and see what connects to the internet.
[Defy General] Step666:
An Android phone was a mistake if you're looking to avoid heavy data usage.
[Defy General] Jt612:
my average is about 30 mb on weekends (out of wifi range) and like 2 mb on weekdays as I'm on school holidays and moslty always in wifi range :P
[Defy General] doliver55:
Cheers for the droidwall tip, seems a good way of restricting a lot of things
[Defy General] mrt3k:
I also observe that Android sometimes produces traffic without an order to do so. 3gwatchdog counts the traffic and shows the origin-applications, some are just google or motoblur stuff but without any option to deactivate traffic or updates or whatever they're doing.....
[Defy General] Step666:
Of course, the OS is designed to be used with an always-on data connection.

If you don't have one of those, an Android phone is not a good idea.
[Defy General] mrt3k:
I do have unlimited traffic, but a speed limitation after 200 MB to 64kbit/s which isnt fun anymore.

Thats the problem of the big ans usually good providers in Germany, even the highly priced agreements have that little traffic included.

Thus, I think it should be possible to deactivate useless data traffic even in Android, mh? There should be some options that deny traffic usage in general and also for single apps. (btw. I tried droidwall, but some apps tunneld the firewall and produces traffic anyway!)
[Defy General] Step666:
There are ways to completely disable data usage but I'm, not sure it's possible for individual apps.

But, like I said, if heavy data usage is a concern, Android is not the right OS for you.
[Defy General] Peglezn:
Ignore Step666 his talking crap, android is a good OS even if ur not connected all the time, (I dont even use 3g connection, I mostly use only wi-fi) ..not everyone hangs on facebook all day or needs those weather widgets and stuff like that... really depends on a user.

but if u have a problem with heavy data usage i can help

-first a program that will help u monitor your usage (u can also reset counters monthly) - try traffic counter extended, there are also other apps that help u limit how much data u can transfer over wifi/cell

-second i think droidwall is the app u are looking for

(its a firewall for Android. This is for users that don't have an unlimited data plan. It allows unrestricted WiFi access, however it blocks all access over the cellular network unless you add the application to the whitelist.)
[Defy General] Quza:
Also, try disabling auto sync on the power control widget.
[Defy General] Step666:
No I'm not.

The fact you're having to install third-party apps to prevent the phone from automatically connecting to the internet merely proves my point - it is designed to be used with an always-on internet connection.
[Defy General] raghul:
there was a third party app called DROIDWALL...it allows you to block all the unwanted apps from connecting with internet.. and yes it allows only specific apps to be blocked..
[Defy General] sonhy:
yeah use droidwall, its easy - set it to "white list (allow selected)" then select the google system apps and the apps you like to have internet access, any new apps you install wont get net access unless you add it to the white list, making it easy to manage.

you can also restrict wifi and/or 3G per app.

nice for apps like notepad that somehow need internet access.
[Defy General] mrt3k:
Thanks for your ideas.

I did already use Droidwal for some time, but it did not function properly.

I blocked certain apps and for some time I blocked all apps, includig system apps. And what happened? There was data usage by any program, at least the traffic counter showed traffic usage. Thus, it seems not to block really what I set to block. :-/
[Defy General] pbaumi:
Thx for the tip with Droidwall! Works great

I had to apply the rules manually... Did you try?
[Defy General] mrt3k:
What do you mean by "manually"? You can manually set apps to white- and blacklist, yeah, or what u mean?
[Defy General] pbaumi:
Sorry - i meant the button "Apply Rules" - only ticking the application checkboxes didn't change iptable rules.

[Android Software Development] Scott-Evil:
Hi guys,

I have two Android 2.2 systems (Samsung Galaxy S and Dell Streak Tablet-Device). The Dell default-browser identifies as:

I also have this simplified xhtml1.0strict/valid page with an imagemap.

<div>
<img src="./img/square.gif" width="284" height="284" alt="" usemap="#imagemap" />
<map name="imagemap" id="imagemap">
<area shape="rect" alt="4" id="part4" coords="3,3,139,139" />
<area shape="rect" alt="3" id="part3" coords="144,3,281,138" />
<area shape="rect" alt="1" id="part1" coords="3,144,139,281" />
<area shape="rect" alt="2" id="part2" coords="144,144,281,281" />
</map>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
$('area').click(function(e) {
var imageOffset = $('img').offset();
var x = e.pageX - Math.round(imageOffset.left);
var y = e.pageY - Math.round(imageOffset.top);
var id = $(this).attr('id');
alert('id: '+ id +'\nx: '+ x +'\ny: '+ y);
someFunction(id,x,y);
});
// ]]></script>

The challenge is:

I use jQuery and need to get the id of the clicked map-area AND the exact position of the click as x/y-value on the image itself (relative to the image) because I need to place an X at that position. (As you all know, an X marks the spot.)

All I get in the Android Default Browser (whatever that is...) is the id, the x/y coordinates return 0. In all other tested browsers (Desktop-Versions of Ff3.6, Sf5, Ch8, IE8, IE6, O11 and iOS4.2/4.1Safari on iPhone/iPad) everything works fine.

It even works with Opera Mobile (for Android).

Anyone got an idea?

Thank you for any help! Scott

Hello..

First.. thanks to all in the DFT team for porting WP7. WOW.. you're skills are just incomprehensible!!! :)

Now, the problem I've got is that I've installed an app (Xbox live extras) and its not showing up on the program list.. However, whenever i go into the Marketplace to re-download it, it says its already installed on the phone. Is there a way to delete/reinstall this app?

Thank you :)

[SOLUTION] Stuck apps

To force an app to install so you can then reinstall, such as in my case and i think the ops where xbox live extras never installed properly. marketplace says it is but you cannot see it nor is it listed in downloads.

Unlock your phone with chevron, install xbox live extras from the Windows marketplace for desktop http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-908293.html

Than uninstall from phone by holding down on the icon in the games panel.

You will then be able to go to the item in marketplace and choose to install again.

This fixed my xblive extras and it's now working properly. :)

I am using Reefermattness' latest package and the only things that do not work is blueooth and the camera\camcorder which i never use anyway so its not a problem for me. I am having a problem though, some apps will not install. I basically use XDANDROID for the apps\games so this is a big problem that I cannot get OPERA MINI 5.1 or ANGRY BIRDS to install.

Is there a solution to this problem? I have done alot of searching and have found alot of people have had this same problem but all the post were a couple months old so I'm not sure if this has been fixed. I have also read that ANGRY BIRDS won't install on devices like the EVO either. I have also seen about 30 screenshots on Reefermattness' thread of people running ANGRY BIRDS so I am wonderin why it will not work for me. Could it be my device (TILT 2)? Could it be because I am overclocking XDANDROID? Do I need to update something in the package? I have used several KERNALS so I don't think that is the problem cause I have never been able to install ANGRY BIRDS no matter which KERNAL I use. Do I need to write a code in STARTUP.TXT? I am really unsure why ANGRY BIRDS works for some and not others. Can someone help? PLEASE!

angry birds

i was never able to run it either till now!

I use Froyo X Jan.12.2011 from here.

Froyo X

in post #3 there is a download link for Angry birds.apk

extract the Titanium backup folder to root of sd.

copy over the froyo files and launch. Use titanium backup to restore Angry Birds and data.

should work then =)

I don't run with mine overclocked and it runs well, slight lag here and there depending on running apps. I might try overclocking to see how it is.

if u get a light blue screen only and sound on ur 1st startup for angry birds i just turned off Android and rebooted to fix. Usually always works for most issues

That is why I splitted the release in three different parts (CODE, MODEM, CSC).

Since Odin3 has flashfile checksum support I also added md5 hash tail to the .tar files. This way is more secure because Odin will not allow flashing corrupted images. Flashing takes a bit longer thou because the checksums are checked in the beginning of the update process.
