[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richmc73:
If you don't get any info soon, try emailing ExecutiveResponse@t-mobile.com Explain what is going on in the email and a number they can reach you at. They respond pretty quick. I had a call back within 4 hours on a sunday. They work for the office of the president of tmoble and have the power to get things taken care of.

They are actually the ones that got me hooked on Android. Had issues with the BB that the wife and I had and I esculated the promblem to them. Ended up getting two Cliqs delived the day they were released and 2 months free on the bill.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Exactly.

Being nice doesnt work. Get tough. Btw my story was real. U need to call them out and curse em too maybe not too much but just the right amount
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
Start slow and be nice at first. be prepared to make multiple calls(thats if you have another phone handy) In the span of an hour.

Dont disrespect the person themselves! They will not help you if you do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richmc73:
+1 Before I switched to Walmarts Family Mobile (uses TMobiles towers) I always gave TMobile 5 chances on the phone to get what ever problem I had fixed. Never got rude or anything. If by then the problem wasn't resoved, I would email the ExecutiveResponse team and it was handled almost always in the first call that they made to me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
Thanks guys, emailed executive response. Waiting for a response.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richmc73:
Any word back from them yet?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
Nope, still waiting. I expect a delay of a day or two.

Who here thinks I can get through a request for a vibrant and free hd2 along with it to reimburse for my inconveniences? :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richmc73:
LOL I don't think that will happen but you may get a new Vibrant out of it. Just remember when they call to be nice and calm.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richmc73:
Any response yet?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
They never called me but I got an email for ME to call them. Wish me luck today!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
Good luck bro, Hope to hear some good news soon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krylon360:
just tweet them @TMOBILE

you'll have a response the same day.

also, just go into the chat, warranty/replacement, when it asks if you are flex, just hit no. Tell them you had a replacemnt order, and have not received it yet and are wondering the status.

They were able to look up my Wifes order, and tell me the tracking number, that it was delivered to the office the day after I placed the order...(They must know me) lol

The day I contacted them was the 6th day after I placed the order, (great front office huh?)

So yeah, just be nice. If anything, they will overnight you one.

Trust me, they arent on backorder.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richmc73:
Agree that they are not on back order. Two guys I work with just had thier MyTough Fenders bricked by the ota they just released for it and TMobile is relpacing with Virbrants.
[EVO 4G Accessories] up2no6ood:
Just a heads up I bought 3 oem batteries off ebay from the seller oem_4_less for $21 shipped. Package was sent form cali and arrived in 3 days. These look to be 100% genuine. I compared them to my oem battery and they are exactly the same. The seller didn't have the correct battery listed but I sent a best offer for three batteries @ $7 each and stated that they have to be Rhod160's not the BTR6300B that they list as being oem for the evo. They accepted and replied with an email that if I wanted to wait an extra day they would have the red 160's in stock. The oem extended batteries and door covers are available too for $35 shipped. Im not affiliated with oem 4 less just figured I would share this great deal with all the members.

http://shop.ebay.com/oem_4_less/m.html
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Guaranteed they are counterfeit for that price. There are a TON of batteries on ebay that claim to be OEM but are really just cheap chinese batteries with a red HTC sticker on them. Look at the extended batteries that they are claiming are OEM, they have the same red sticker on them but the real ones are black with a white sticker.
[EVO 4G Accessories] up2no6ood:
I thought the same thing but figured what the hell. Then received them. If they are fakes I would be amazed. Same exact plastic case, same exact sticker. same moisture indicator sticker. Hell They even have different serial numbers on them. Threw them on my digital scale and they all weighed 30 grams...same as an oem battery. If they are fakes then they must be some high quality fakes. and actually the extended BTE6300B is red and its for the incredible rated at

2150 mah the extended evo's are black and rated 2600 mah. both batteries are interchangeable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OEM4Less:
Meathead,

Our batteries are 100% original, not counterfeit.

Due to our contracts with both Tier 1 carriers and OEM manufacturers, we are able to secure new product, then retail them below what brick and mortar carrier locations would.

The battery in your picture is an AFTERMARKET piece made for Sprint, not an OEM HTC battery, as is being discussed.

Technically, HTC never made an extended battery for the EVO. Hence why there are no OEM HTC EVO extended battery doors, only aftermarket.

The extended batteries and doors, sold in Sprint stores, do NOT have HTC logos on them, because they are not made by HTC.

Now, the extended battery(BTE6300) for the HTC ADR6300 Incredible will work with the EVO 4G, and provide more battery life/talk time.

Glad we cleared that up.

Never trust a guy who compares an aftermarket battery to an OEM one, to justify his ignorance.
[EVO 4G Accessories] cactusone:
Don't do it!! my buddies phone caught on fire on his night stand from a "runaway battery". I would not trust them. Luckily it happened in the morning and he was not asleep.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow90:
Alright I am a little new to this. I rooted my phone and am trying to upgrade to a custom ROM.

I installed clockmod so I can get into my recovery, and can install the ROM zips onto my sd card.

Installation goes through successfully and as soon as I reboot I get the custom splash screen that just repeats and repeats and repeats.

I know I must of missed a step somewhere, but where??

Help me out please!!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTitanX:
What ROM are you installing? Did you make sure to wipe user data and cache from Clockwork Mod? I'd start there and see if your phone boots after data/cache wipe. If it doesn't work, did you make sure to do a Nandroid backup prior to installing the custom ROM?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snow90:
That's exactly what I did. Just started messing around with stuff and then it started working.

Appreciate the tip though. Now I know what to do next time.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
My wife has CM6 on her G1 and it works fine, though it feels sluggish and apps take a little bit to respond. I've tried several Froyo roms and CM6 seems to be the best of the bunch, but I want to find her something more responsive. Is CM7 even worth considering? Common sense suggests it would be even more sluggish since the sys reqs are higher, but I've read some people saying it's faster. And in any event, is it generally true that an Eclair-based rom (like CM 5.0.8?) is going to be faster than any Froyo rom?

Thanks guys!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jianC:
Donut is the fastest, but Eclair is good for both stability and speed. The older builds are generally more optimized, faster, and have less functions (trade off).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
As always ... it depends. For me CM6.1 was faster than any CM5 I had on my phone, probably even faster than the 1.6 stock donut. But there is also the difference that for the newer ROMs you can increase the size of the RAM available, which helps very much. So you have the choice ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vermaekansh:
For me FROYO is having good responce...with official AOSP 2.2 from ezterry.

but if you like eclair go for Superbad 1.7 from htcclay the best one for eclair. :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
Hmmm. I may be on a fool's errand but I'm trying to see if there's a Tom for the G1 that will make it feel like my Nexus One. Should I stop trying?

I have no idea how to boot into Recovery (Clockwork) from a turned off state...

Is it possible to? Or do you need an SD card that has a bootable image on there of CWR?

If there is an image like this, is there any place where I could download it? Thank you :)
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
hold power and "n" button down together. when you see the "Touch the future of reading" screen, count to 5 and release. if you have CWM installed, it will take you into recovery. if you don't have CWM installed, it will take you to a message that will ask you if you want to factory restore your device.
[Nook Color General] al2x:
Thank you for that answer works perfect! Also, whenever i try to nandroid it always says error can't mount sdcard/... im just using a 2gb at the moment... im wqiting for a class 6 8gb card from newegg.com to arrive, is the 2gb too small?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
yes that 20 means i have 20 percent left, for those of you that think galilio sucks make sure you charge it right, first time up run it to it die, then charge all the way back up using the charger that came along with it(thats what i did not sure if it matters), do this a couple of time, also dont forget to wipe battery stat under recovery...

this is with 2 hours of GPS 2 hours of Tunein radio (use alot of bandwidth believe it or not)

and light texting, no calls brightness are from 40% at night to 60% at day time (running bright day apps :D) live wallpaper is running. i am also running sense, htc friends stream update every 2 hours (gonna up it to 1hr to see result) htc stock is 4 hours (up it to 2hr to see result) news stream is manual (up it to 4hr to see result), i am not running advance task killer, cause i dont believe it work.

Nope, 15 bucks.

Nice try though.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] redpoint73:
Yup, conditioning the battery doesn't work and doesn't do anything for Li ion batteries. Its out dated info from the days when phones used NiCad batteries. Draining your battery to empty may also render your battery unable to take a charge (the safety circuit is not always guaranteed to prevent over discharge). Discharging below 20% should be avoided.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/do_and_dont_battery_table

What power cycling does is calibrate the battery meter on the phone. It does nothing to the battery (at least nothing good). The best way to calibrate the battery meter is charge to full, then drain to 20%, repeat a couple times.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] sino8r:
Thank you! I am so sick of people talking about calibrating lithium ion batteries which is an annoying, common misconception. If you're having trouble, remove the battery and make sure the cells aren't swollen and just wipe batterystats.bin

The past few weeks i've been on the CM7 nightlies. They're awesome. I thought Calkukins EViO was the fastest rom ever. It sure is, as far as sense goes. CM7 takes the cake though.

What really really is aggravating me to no end is that after flashing the CM7 and gapps, whether I do it at the same time in recovery or after booting then going back to RA, the market seems to automatically download and install the apps that I was using before. Google reader, angry birds, everything. Stuff I've paid for and haven't. But it is only stuff that I've had installed recently. I know, some might say that is a feature, but it drives me batty. I want to pick and choose without these things automatically taking up space in 5 minutes and i have to go and manually delete and wipe the stuff for each one!

Is this intentional? Is there a way to disable it? I thought I saw a setting once but i can't find it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
It's intentional. To stop it (usually works):

Home>Menu>Settings>Privacy

(If not already checked) check "Back up my data", un-check "Automatic restore", then un-check "Back up my data".

Also, FYI, you don't need to wipe data between each nightly. You can just wipe cache and dalvik, and then flash the new nightly. :)

hey guys. i finally upgraded to windows 7 64bit earlier this month. until now i hadn't messed around with the phone. i went to change my splash screen and realized i hadnt installed anything.

i have the latest sdk and htc sync. both work. i can use adb just fine.

however, fastboot keeps coming up as unrecognized device...i've tried several different suggestions from threads that popped up after a search, but most of them refer to the android sdk/usb_drivers folder....my androidsdk folder does not have any usb_drivers folder...

i've spent over an hour now trying to get this working with no luck...

any help?

Latest and Greatest

v0.1: seeARMS' XWJS3 v0.1 (1/31/11)

http://www.multiupload.com/842IKYJ8FU

Addons

Coming soon

Installation Instructions

Before installing, make sure to disable any lagfixes, create any backups that you need, etc.

Long version:

1. Extract the downloaded file to the root of your SD card.

2. Navigate to the "seearms/kernel" folder, and here you should see 3 files: sok for Super Optimized, voodoo for Advanced Voodoo, and speedmod for the SpeedMod kernel. Delete two of them, leaving only the one that you want to install.

3. Navigate to the "seearms/modem" folder, and here you should see 2 files: jl2 and jpy. For Canadians, or other users who want the use of the 850MHz band, leave the "jl2" file untouched, and delete the jpy file. For everyone else, delete jl2 and leave jpy.

4. Navigate to the "seearms/extra" folder. Here you should see nexus_bootanimation, and a "wipe" file. Leave the bootanimation untouched if you want the Nexus S bootanimation, and leave the wipe file if you want the ROM to format /data.

So, before installing, you should have one file in kernel, one file in modem, and anything in extra, depending on your preferences.

5. Boot into CWM or Recovery 2e, select "Install from zip", navigate to the ROM you copied, and install.

I'd recommend the following files left untouched:

seearms/kernel/speedmod

seearms/modem/jpy

seearms/extra/wipe

This will install the SpeedMod kernel, JPY modem, and will wipe your data to allow for a brand new install.

Short version:

1. Extract the downloaded file to your SD card.

2. Delete any kernel and modem you don't want, leaving only 1 in each folder.

3. Delete seearms/extra/wipe if you don't want it to wipe. Delete anything else in this folder you don't want.

4. Boot to CWM, flash the zip.

After it boots, I'd recommend doing a few things to ensure your phone is as fast as possible:

1. Enable the EXT4 lagfix in recovery

2. Enable all tweaks in recovery

3. Overclock if you wish using SetCPU

Nice job seeARMS! It is running well so far (speedmod + JL2 modem).

I want to use SOK and overclock it but I can't seem to disable the VSF that is included with the kernal.

Your rom also works with the Generation X theme, which includes the extended power menu too! The AOSP lockscreen included could still be unlocked with the menu key but the Gen X theme solved that. Have you seen the 4 lockscreen? It looks very nice but I can't seem to find it.

Keep up the good work!

Hey found a bug every time i install anything from samsung apps it vibrates and then takes me to the bootanimation screen going to flash it again and see

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] splish2010:
Great choice of music :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] seeARMS:
Not sure how to disable it since I don't use SOK, but try setting the file "/sys/devices/platform/s3cfb/VSF_enable" to 2. This should disable VSF.

That's odd, I've installed many apps just fine. Try clearing the market cache by going to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market, then select "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache".

If that doesn't fix it, a factory reset would almost certainly.
