[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxbeast1210:
So far my streak feels like an upgrade to me I had the iphone four since it came out but it just didn't feel right to me. guess it just depends on what fits your needs. My wife now uses the iphone 4th and I don't miss it one bit. I love having widgets and a screen big enough to actually make the gps useful I don't think I could go Back to a Small screen again
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slocko:
I also just came from Iphone world. Been a fan of iOS since the 3g. still a fan.

But couldn't deal with a lack of a bring screen. Been using the streak for like 2 weeks now.

I like it. I think the screen lags compared to Iphone, but maybe some of these performance modificatons will help.

I will stick with froyo 2.2 for now until I learn more. Haven't even rooted yet.

I've not really tried watching videos on my phone until recently, and altogether unsuccessfully. Is there any way of getting new codecs onto the phone to enable me to watch my existing video files or do I have to convert them to something else?
[Epic 4G General] Basementboyz24:
Alright, Ive been browsing these forums ever since I got a Captivate and now I am trying to help a friend that has an Epic. They currently have dk28. Their Epic has always been Flakey on being detected on computers. We have tried three, it only gets detected on Mass storage on one of those and doesnt get detected in dowload mode on any of them. That being said, We cannot get back to stock via Odin, or use the Samsung official Update due to that it will not be detected in download mode. Can anyone tell me is there anything I can do at this point? Ive already tried 3 cables, uninstalling and re-installing drivers, etc... I am hoping maybe there is some way to get back to stock without odin, then from there getting to EB13 without the use of a computer. Thanks in advance and I look forward to posing here.....
[Epic 4G General] Ranger093:
Did you restart the computer at all?
[Epic 4G General] v3rk:
usb debugging enabled?

i have trouble connecting sometimes and it's always solved by restarting the phone.
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
Are you placing the phone in Download mode???

****Ensure USB Debugging is Enabled.

Download mode:

1. power off the phone.

2. Press 1 + Power button together

otherwise, I would highly recommend to:

1. uninstall drivers

2. restart the PC

3. install the Samsung drivers

4. restart

5. try connecting the phone (while powered on) and letting the PC recognize it.

6. Once drivers are installed, unplug the USB cable and Power off the phone

7. Place the phone in download mode and reconnect the USB cable and let the secondary drivers install.

8. unplug and reboot the phone, and restart the PC for last time.

Try Odin now, remember you need the phone in Download mode to use Odin.

Note: Yes I know I send the OP to restart many times his PC but, with windows we can never "restart" to much...
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Couple things:

What OS are you using? If vista or 7, plug it in in debugging and go to the devices window in control panel, see if there is a samsung device there. If there is, right click and look at properties..check to see if there's an adb driver. If you see other drivers but not adb then its matter of getting the drivers to install somehow.

Second, there IS a full di18.zip, and a modem updater.zip to di18 as well, both flashable in CWM..(I believe its in a thread started by noobnl, its kinda old)...you might only have to do the .zip though since you'll eventually be going to the eb13 modem. I don't know for sure.

But be wary: switching android versions with CWM can be dangerous. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but it can actually be riskier than using odin. I would say use this only in last resort.

If you decide to do this, MAKE SURE you have the full download (I say download twice and compare the sizes just to make sure), have a full battery and keep it plugged in, and do your 3x wipes

Good luck

[Epic 4G General] thepervster:
some people have tried changing usb ports and it will work.

anyone else having problems not being able to connect phone to comp. can try this method but not sure if this works on the dk28.

what you could do is to remove the microsd card from phone use the adapter that came with it and put sd card into your laptop or if you have a external hub then your microsd will just be a storage devise then download the mac version of froyo from samsung (sorry i can't post outside links yet)but it is the samsung support downloads then search for this SPH-D700ZKASPR click on the software then download the mac version to comp. then copy and paste what you downloaded to the root of the sdcard (the first one you see when you open the sdcard) then put card back in phone, power off phone wait untill all lights go off press volume down, camera and power at same time. then in recovery chose update.zip from sd by using volume buttons to chose what you want to do then press the home button to start.
[Epic 4G General] rjccviii:
I had issues with mine taking the update (and issues with it beforehand) and getting it recognized on two different computer, multiple times, it seems completely random whether or not it would work sometimes.
[Epic 4G General] Basementboyz24:
Any confirmation on whether or not this is safe and will work???
[Epic 4G General] thepervster:
this is how i put different updates in zip format on my phones sometimes my comp hesitates, so to make sure they go on sd card all the way this is how i do it. its doing the same as mounting phone in storage mode.

but i went back to stock ecliar di18 2.1 a couple days ago and i had no prob.at all.

i just didn't want to wait for the ota and i found the update.zip on the samsung website yesterday at about 6 pm. downloaded it and it worked great. was rooted this morning at 7am and am good to go.
[Epic 4G General] Basementboyz24:
I dont see how this is going to help me since I am not on stock....
[Epic 4G General] thepervster:
sorry, what i was saying for you was to change ports. i guess what should have been asked is are you rooted or do you just have the unofficial dk28 on it from dec. and have you removed any of the bloatware?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Yes change USB ports. The ones in the front normally don't work. You need one directly on the mortherboard
[Epic 4G General] Basementboyz24:
I tried changing ports multiple times. I got a new cord, and now it finally detects the phone in regular mode but it will not in Download mode or when I have USB debugging on. Any more ideas anyone?
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Hate to ask, but did you follow the instructions EXACTLY as the SW Updater tool says? Pull battery (next) - Download mode (next) - plug into PC (next) - Pull battery (again) (next).

One of the steps the tool does has to do with installing drivers... you mentioned Vista, but is it 32 or 64 bit? Have you tried a different PC?
[Epic 4G General] klownin816:
I have the exact issue with my phone. I can only connect to my computer using the back usb ports (off the motherboard). I'm on windows 7. If you haven't, give that a shot. Even try uninstalling the drivers, connecting to the back usb ports and see what it does.
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Saw someone post about Odin only working when they flipped the phone face down - thought it had something to do with the accelerometer. I suspect that in that case it might just be a bad connection and flipping the phone over made the contacts work. Worth trying though it you are desperate.

[HTC Aria General] TKTAB911:
Ohh, yours appears different than mine and I just rooted/flashed my first time today. Im quite sure I saw it in the settings when I was attempting to change something stupid...

No, wait. I totally missed it. Just an idea though; If you can open up the ROM and find the image file of the background for it-you could simply mod that. Unless its a string file which uses a number/letter code system [<-me trying to sound smart]. In a nutshell, if you can edit the ROM, you could probably just change that file specifically. Or perhaps ask if they could implement a feature that allowed you to change the back-layer color.
[HD2 General] Spendy:
I recently noticed my HTC had white spots showing when browising on a white background which was annoying me. I have looked after my phone and it's unmarked but thought well its under warranty so might as well get it sorted. Phoned HTC and advised them of the problem. They said no worres we will pick it up tomorrow from your work and it will take 10 days to sort out. Got an email today saying the repair is not under warranty either pay £198 for a replacement board, pay £20 to ship back or let them scrap it??? WTF! So I had to pay £20 to get my phone back and really wished I hadn't bothered now. Just hoping it is still working as it was fine apart from the small fault at the start. Has anyone else had any bad experiences?? I might write a letter of complaint to them.

I have send my HD2 5time to warranty never had to pay 20£!

But It already cost me a lot of time=money.

They do awful swap old one for refurbrished one.

Refurbrished means not a FACTORY build one but UK hand made JUNK!

It has been 3 time serviced and 2times swap!In 3 months

AND FOR MORE FUN its going again for swap!

3repeirs 3swap good job HTC good JOB.

NEVER ever HTC

but maybe who don't want to have kind of new mob every week:)
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
The whole swapping process has 2 targets:

- Faster service for you

- Reduce cost for HTC

Repairing a device with tiny little formats of virtually all parts can take time and needs quite some test procedures after the work is done. Once finished, fixed devices go into the swapping pool. Or get scrapped, if not repairable at reasonable cost.
[HD2 General] -jen94ek-:
:(

:) You sounds like one from HTC

1ST swapping is NICE if is swap for new factory made product not a refubrished one from HTC made by hand!

2ND My HD2 was 3times repaired and 2times sw.

ques witch of these procedures were longer . . . swapping!

So maybe in different country but not in UK-London

UK-swap means Phone built up by somebody in UK by hand!!!-nothing to do with HTC from TW-boxed brend new
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
No, I am not HTC, but I´ve got many years of experience with other manufacturers.

Imagine you are this manufacturer. Refurbishing is a logical solution. Repair work is done by human beings. You cannot trash all defective devices, that would be too expensive. Fixing broken units, or assembling working ones with parts from broken ones is definitely cheaper. And trust me, according to years of experience, it definitely works in most cases. And finally, please remember that after 2 failed attempts of fixing the same (or at least "your") device, you get the right or should try to claim a new unit instead of a fixed one - it´s European law.

And yes, most manufacturers do not run their own service centers, usually service is done by third party companies. Any reasonable manufacturer will tightly control the quality of a) the freshly made devices and b) the repaired devices. At the end, an angry customer is usually much more expensive than a happy customer. Try to see it from this end.

All this apart, it is obvious that most recently, the number of bricked devices has grown dramatically. Maybe there are too many strange errors due to flashing Android stuff, which come with bad drivers etc, and the service centers are kind of overwhelmed with too much work, who knows.

If I was HTC, I would also watch carefully what is going on - and I think they do. They can easily see also here at xda that recent growth of "bricked device" threads. I cannot blame them for being careful, honestly spoken. It is simply a professional attitude.

HTC Romania

I just (yesterday) got my HD2 back from the repair service.

It had to go there 3 times. 2 times for the digitizer problem, and the 3rd time for the fact that the Sdcard reader was not functioning anymore.

It took them a month or 2 to repair everything, but it's working again. Service sucks? Nope, not really. I did not buy the phone here in Romania, but since it's an HTC one, the HTC warranty applies everywhere in Europe.

I can't say HTC sucks in their warranty cases.
[HD2 General] -jen94ek-:
Good

Yep I did ask for NEW after 3 times feiled in MiltoneK

Yep Problem is NEW is not new BUT Made by HAND - refurbished- from new parts - 2 times 2 times rubbish

Yep I have never ever flash to A or W7 or Ubu

I my mind to the cheapest way in my case was to accept Brend NEW from FACTORY only witch is the way they don't do!

COST me and HTC more than I've paid!!!

6 x UPS from and to my house, work, phone calls.

There is someone wrong and it's not me with my hands

100% unsuccessful in 5 cases! 6 awaiting next week

OMG

[HD2 General] ioannister:
The annoying after sales experience that i had concerning HTC, has to do with a phone that i purchased by a Greek shop about 6 months ago, which, as i found out, is of Portuguese (or Spanish) origin. The phone is now in need of service but HTC claims that they provide service only for phones that have been sold by them within Greece, so they refuse to receive my phone. Instead they tell me to send it to Spain (obviously the transfer costs should be provided by me).

Its really kind of awkward to not provide local service since their Warranty states that 'if you have purchased the Product in a member state of European Union, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland or Turkey and HTC originally intended the Product for sale in one of these countries, this Limited Warranty is valid and enforceable in all of these above listed countries'. Yet, they seem to ignore this paragraph of their Warranty.

Its really kind of awkward for a multinational company like HTC refuses to provide service for their phones irrespectively of the location (at least within the European union boundaries).

I used to be a big fan of HTC, and i have spend a lot of money over the last years buying premium phones (for premium money of course). I expected to have serious after sales support for the money given, and above all as promised within their Warranty for European citizens.

Up till now i have received irrational excuses by them, thus making me officially complaining to any consumer organizations i know. i really look forward to see the outcome.
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
European law is crystal clear: "Warranty" is the responsibility of the seller - not the manufacturer. It lasts 2 years. One of the major reasons this rule was created is the free trade zone of Europe - means, if your seller bought the device from a Spanish trader, it does not touch you.

The "guarantee" from the manufacturer, however, is a whole different story, as it is not mandatory (in comparison to the seller warranty). HTC gives this "limited warranty" based on their own regulations, and usually, it lasts only 12 months.

In the sum, you can claim manufacturer warranty according to what you quoted, but in case they "refuse" for whatever reason (maybe they have a distributor in Greece?), your seller is still responsible, please keep this in mind - at least as long as you bought from a EU country seller.
[HD2 General] lukesan:
HTC will give 24 months warranty in Europe.

copy/past from their website

-----

This Limited Warranty shall last for twenty-four (24) months from the

date of original purchase for mobile devices, and twelve (12) months

for accessories (whether included in the mobile device sales package

or sold separately) other than the media on which any software is

provided, CD-ROM, memory card (“Warranty Period”).

-----

The warranty thing is a bit dodgy in Europe. Some manufacturers only sell online (Dell) and they used to state the 1 year warranty as you said.

Fortunately and good for the customers there have been several cases where the judge said that manufacturers should not put the stress on stores for paying the legal warranty stuff after the first year of purchase.

That is also the reason why some European car manufacturers promote their 2 year warranty in ads now (funny because they just have to provide that).
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Had the same problem with my HD2 (whiter spots on the screen) and it was fixed under warranty(it did take like 2 weeks). However, for such an expensive phone, I'd expect a better treatment.

For example, when my MX Revolution mouse had problems with rubber band on scroll (and the store refused to take it for repair, as they did not think it was a big problem), I contacted the manufacturer. They just asked me to destroy it and send photos. 3 days later I got brand new one shipped by DHL. I wish HTC warranty was like that...
[HD2 General] lukesan:
I agree on that one.

They should at least have swap stock and provide well tested refurbished phones if it is clearly a hardware warranty issue.

That would speed up things dramatically.

For the 2X LG phone they have a VIP service in the Benelux. If it is determined that it is a hardware issue over the phone a new one will be delivered to you within 24 hours in the first year.

I concider my HD2 to be non functional since the periode of March the 20 - 25th.

My experience with HTC and their warranty 'service' Dynafix is ... well no words for this.

The device was produced in March 2010 so this one certainly falls under EU warranty laws which are very strict.

If I do not get a decent answer from them this week they will be faced with EU law for sure.

After spending more than 2000€ on their phones in 3 years time it is time to move on to another manufacturer.
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
Don´t expect much better services... unfortunately, most manufacturers have outsourced their warranty and repair services.

But, all this depends, of course, on where you live. Each country organization seems to be different (I know services in like 12 different countries so far).

Many users make many different experiences, I myself had quite some issues with Samsung (especially poor where I live at the moment), LG (even worse) or SonyEricsson. The only really good service I received was... from Apple (they do have different authorized service companies, one of them is outstandingly well).

With HTC, however, never had any issues at all. I was lucky, the hardware never failed. And for the software, we´re here at xda anyway, no?
[HD2 General] ioannister:
I know that they are both liable (in a different manner). Nevertheless the one who will actually do the service will be an authorized service center of HTC. Thus, as far as i am concerned, i know that i can give the phone to seller where he will send it to spain (because, as mentioned, the Greek distributor will not accept it ), and hopefully i will have it back in a month or two from now.

The question still remains ... why shouldnt i get service as per HTC's warranty in greece? Why should i go through all that hassle so as to get my phone hopefully repaired in about 1 month from now?

I really would expect from the manufacturer who has a big share in the European market, to provide the appropriate service for devices that cost more than 500 euros.

its the same kind of service one would expect when buying electronics, cars, appliances from known brands in Europe (to have local service).

I might ask for much, but i quess when i pay premium money for any kind of appliance, electronics, mobile phones, or even cars i expect premium service (especially when the manufacturer guarantees it)
[HD2 General] lukesan:
@ioannister

The EU proposal about warranty was done in '99 and all the EU countries should have implemented this in a timespan of 3 years.

Here you can find the webpage.

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:31999L0044:EN:NOT

Read it properly and use it in the best way to gain your right as a consumer.

The store needs to take of warranty even if it is imported, that is not your issue.

If the store still exists and refuses to cooperate I would inform the ministry of economic affairs in Greece since it is their task to comply and to make shops (no matter how big or small) follow those rules.

So you tried to email HTC about this and they told you to send it to Spain?

Did you afterwards contact them and tell them that was not the warranty statement that is on their website?

I've learned numerous things over the years I've dealt with warranty cases and that is to always note down everything like name, time and date, even record it if you can.

Good luck and keep us informed!
[HD2 General] ioannister:
@lukesan

thank you for your reply (and the article).

I have all the mails/communication with HTC. I have repeatedly told them that they violate the paragraph at the warranty that states 'if you have purchased the Product in a member state of European Union, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland or Turkey and HTC originally intended the Product for sale in one of these countries, this Limited Warranty is valid and enforceable in all of these above listed couries .

They have constantly given me answers bypassing the aforementioned paragraph.

I know that this has happened to other consumers as well (at least here in Greece).

I have informed three different consumer organisations here in greece and i am waiting for their feeddback.

i will keep you posted on the 'official' outcome ....
