[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
Considering that At&t has the worst customer service out of every company, I would assume that unless you want to pay off your early contract termination fee than no unfortunately.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
I had a problem that my data connection was dropping all the time. I called att, stressed the fact that I don't have a home phone, so my cell phone is my only phone. My new captivate was overnighted to my home. Ironically the new phone had the same issue, turned out to be a bad SIM card.

With GPS being something of a "known issue" I don't know if they will swap for GPS issues.

Fact of the matter is att has never let me down customer service wise. That isn't to say I've never had issues, but I've never had an issue not be resolved to my satisfaction.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dungeon47:
I, too, have experienced good customer service from AT&T. It isn't the best, but it certainly wasn't bad. The worst part was the long wait times to talk to a human.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikejames07:
What the hell is this???

Ok, I just got off the phone with AT&T "Android" tech support... I restored my phone to stock and the lady had me do a factory reset. Then she had me download the Samsung GPS Restore app. It failed to lock, we tried some other things but indeed my GPS would not lock. She then deactivates my phone from the network and activates it again, but no lock. She talks to her superiors and they say it's not a phone issue?:confused: therefore the phone is not replaceable. I ask to speak to a manager or something and she transfers me to Warranty Resolutions. He takes all the info and says take the phone to a repair center and if they reproduce the issue they'll replace your phone. I'm like ok cool!

I download AT&T navi and try the 30 day trial just for the heck of it and low and behold the friggin' GPS LOCKS!:mad: So i truck on over to Google Maps and it friggin' locks as well! Within' 50 meters mind you but a lock without "use wireless networks" checked. I have NEVER gotten a lock on stock before today. Honestly I just wanted a newer model Captivate because my old v1006 model has issues with non captivate modems and I wanted to try those sweet 2.2.1 roms:(. I may not go to the repair center now b/c i don't want to walk in there and they're like what are you talking about it's locking fine!

Funny thing is the warranty guy said he's never heard of that issue before on a captivate, nor has anyone in that office. Maybe this problem did only affect a very small portion of these devices. Or everyone with the problem bought a new phone with in the 30 day trial:D.

As long as u r legitimate, and courteous, AT&T resolves them to ur satisfaction. Be patient and courteous, that's the key.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
I've spent years on the other end of the customer service line. For an evil credit card company. Ever since, when I call customer service I'm nice, friendly, and calm. Even when att screwed up my bill and charged me $400 in overages. I calmly explained what happened, that my rate plan was applied incorrectly (someone applied a plan with no mobile to mobile or night and weekend minutes), 10 minutes on the phone and it was taken care of. The charges refunded. The people that get the most help are the rational, calm, honest people. When I worked customer service I adjusted more fees for people that said they forgot to pay their bill than people that screamed and yelled that it was our fault it the post office.

[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
For use a non-stock keyboard on TNT/TNT lite, you have to do more than just installing the APK.

Search in the themes area for 'keyboard' or 'alternate keyboard', and you'll find several threads about doing that. You're going to need root for this (since you asked before :)).

I'm not sure about removing apps.

This is actually a post of Jim's in another thread. These are the instructions I followed and it worked great for me. (I need to thank-button him for that.)

I like Swiftkey for my phone, but for the tablet, I'm really liking Thumb Keyboard, so maybe check that out.

Two things...first, a real effort with search would have turned up your answer for you...second, "Two questions" is not a very good title for your thread--not descriptive at all. A lousy title is really going to cut down on the number of people who are going to read a post...that's why you will go a long time before getting a decent response.

I don't know about the extra apps. I wouldn't go ripping stuff out without a firm understanding about how different apps--especially system apps--relate to the running of the OS. I can't guide you on that except to say that there's plenty of room on the gTab. That little extra space isn't worth the risk of borking your tablet, in my opinion.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFluffnStuff:
The SD card slot on my phone seems to be broken. I've tried multiple SD cards and none of them seem to get read, so I've concluded that it must be the phone.

Im trying to unroot it so I can send it to verizon for a replacement. I was kind of depending on this method to do it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=792026

but obviously I need the use of the SD card. So I'm kind of in a pickle.

Is there any other way to do it? Something that doesnt need an SD card?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The "Official" 2.1 RUU Utility (= Leak-V3) requires no SD Card

MultiUpload.com - RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed _with_driver.exe

It runs on your Windows PC.

Charge your phone well (say, > 80%)

Turn it off

Plug it in to your PC (still off)

Start the Eris up in fastboot mode (Send+End)

Run the above (HTC) utility - follow the instructions on the screen.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFluffnStuff:
Thanks, man. Just ran it. Worked perfectly. :D

Just got to install a few apps before I take it in so that it doesn't look too barebones >_>
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFluffnStuff:
This is really strange. I just put in the SD card, to see if it was still broken and it magically worked again @_@

I tried with the same SD cards that I used when I was rooted and they all worked as well.

I guess this means I dont have to turn it in, but this is still very strange.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Bummer or Not Bummer? I'm not sure. Nothing like an intermittent problem to give you plenty of confidence. :(

Well, if you don't take it in, at least you will get more practice at rooting.

If you want to be one of cool kids on the block, you can update the unrooted RUU (= Leak-V3) software to the July 2010 OTA using the honest-to-goodness factory codes. You might want to do this anyway, because it will install the July 2010 HTC radio, if not for the "fun" involved.

Go visit this thread:

Consolidated HTC RUU, Leak, and OTA Downloads

and grab the "4th OTA" which converts 2.36.605.1 -> 2.37.605.4; the file name is

OTA_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.37.605.4_2.36.605.1_release.zip

You rename it to "update.zip", and put it on your SD card in the root folder, then:

- verify the file length and MD5 checksum (of the copy of the file on the SD card)

- charge your phone fully

- power your phone off and boot into recovery mode

(either Vol-Up+End, or HBOOT(Vol-Down+End) -> recovery)

- you will get that screen with the triangle and exclamation point; when that is showing, press Vol-Up+End again, and you will see the stock recovery menu.

- Choose the one that says something about SD:update.zip (or similar)

- Let it run through until it reboots (I can't recall, it may reboot twice).

Then, when you root this, you can take a Nandroid backup - then you will have a Nandroid backup of the July 2010 "Factory" configuration. The "cool kid on the block" part is that almost nobody has ever done this - most Eris rooters were already rooted when July 15-17 rolled around, or if they were stuck not rooted on Leak-V3, they got the OTA automatically. Very few people have actually ever used the factory recovery menu on the Eris. (I have done it just to look at it.)

Cheers

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Did you happen to partition your SD cards for apps2sd on a rooted 2.1 ROM and then try installing a Froyo ROM? If so, that is an explanation - (most) of the Froyo ROMs will not mount an SD card with more than one partition on it.

If this is the case, and you still want a Froyo ROM, you can backup the contents of your SD card, use Amon's Recovery to partition it again (setting the size of the ext2 and swap partitions to 0 bytes), and you should be ok. If the fact that your SD cards were partitioned was the issue...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Good catch doogald - I just assumed that this wasn't the case because the OP mentioned more than one SD card.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFluffnStuff:
No, I was using a Froyo rom.

Also, I forgot to point out that it wasn't the first time it's happened. The Last time, however, I was able to get it to work again after a reboot. When I did get it to work, half the stuff on the card was missing. Luckily I had it all backed up, so it wasn't too much of a hassle.

This time, I couldn't get it to recognize the card at all, even after several reboots and trying several different cards.

But like I said, it works now. Ill probably re-root it again this weekend when I have the time. Hopefully, things work out differently this time.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colekg:
Hello,

I am wondering what the difference is between getting a Nexus S and Mytouch 4g (or other android device) if I plan on rooting. Isn't it the case that if I root a Mytouch 4g with a custom ROM, that I will get a similar experience as if I rooted the Nexus S? What am I missing here? If some of the hardware specs are "better" on a device other than the Nexus S, why not just get that device and root/Rom/unlock it? I have not yet bought an android phone (currently rocking the 1st gen iphone on t-mobile unlocked and jailbroken) and want to get the best phone/android experience possible. Any clarification and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
well essentially before rooting, the MT4G comes with HTC sense....which...god i hate that UI...and the Nexus S comes vanilla, meaning 100% stock android, no custom manufacturer's UI.

Essentially if you're planning on rooting and putting a custom ROM on your phone...there's arguably no difference. my touch has a better camera, nexus s has the hummingbird cpu...very VERY minor difference.

I'd like to assume the Nexus S is easier to root and unlock though. correct me if im wrong.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
Get the Nexus S. It is the true Google experience. Which is the unaltered Android experience, which I consider the best. It has an unlocked bootloader. You will always get your updates first, from Google, before any other phone.

The only thing that is 'better' about the MyTouch 4g is the well, "4g". It supports up to 14.4mbps, but you most likely won't even get that. Do a speedtest on the MyTouch 4g before buying it. If it's under 7.2mbps, don't buy it. The Nexus S maxes out at 7.2mbps and most people don't even get close to that even with 4g. Some people have claimed over 10mbps in certain areas, and I did get 10mbps on a G2 here in Pittsburgh, however 10mbps wasn't much more than the 7.2mbps that my Vibrant got at that time. So I sent the G2 back.

What else makes you think the MyTouch 4g is better?

Nexus S has a faster CPU, superior GPU, much smoother experience. Not to mention the gorgeous Super AMOLED which is also far superior. Oh and the 4 inch screen.
