I was slightly confused by your question... then it struck me that you meant warranty XD

Tasssadar is right, it's only when they find out that you will lose it. There are many methods to revert it back to stock, so there isn't much risk in performing custom recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] feron22:
Hello,

I restore my original rom and I have only to remove the custom recovery menu to return my phone in original state. I want to return in original state because I need of waranty service. So can someone help to remove custom recovery menu? I think that my USB port on phone is brick and I have problem with display.

install-superboot-windows.bat

and i never do recovery!!!!!!

so any help

i need to get my nexus like new and i should then gt updates
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tominater12:
You can have superuser and get updates. The update will remove root though. You could always wait for the cm nightly to include 2.3.3
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
You have to mount the /system partition as read/write.

Easiest way is use Root Explorer.

You can also try the following from adb or terminal on the phone:

su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhinai21:
thanks for your reply

i used Root Explorer to mount the /system partition as read/write.

and then

i did write this codes

adb devices

adb shell

su

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

and every thing was ok

but i have an error on those lines

rm /system/bin/su

rm /system/bin/busybox

rm /system/bin/rootshell

and every time i get file not found

hi guys,

this is my first post in the forums, but after reading and watching many videos on how to remove it i have found a solution...my nexus s is now unrooted with no superuser...

make sure u have android sdk installed, and have usb debugging on.

restart phone into recovery

open cmd and type -

cd c:/AndroidSDK/tools/

adb shell mount /system

adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtusharks:
I have Samsung Galaxy s i9000 Froyo 2.2, Rooted with Z4root and lagfixed with OCLF. I have downloaded the Darkys ROM 9.2extreme Edition and also the Darkys ROM configurator from market. I have flashed the clockworkmod recovery by using ROM manager. And backed up the data by titanium backup (free version) . Now if I have to flash the Darkys rom from SD card using the ROM manager will I have a problem with recovery 2e? Or it is better to flash the Darkys ROM by Odin?.....Really confused and want to make decision...don't want a brick and data loss...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] well.heeled.man:
Either is good. Flash the CWM version using 'install ZIP from SD Card' in CWM (use the three button recovery to get there). The other option is to flash with ODIN using the 512 PIT and the ODIN version. The ODIN version requires first flashing with ODIN, the flashing again with the CWM version, but produes a 'cleaner' install.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtusharks:
Yeah resurrection seems to be better for moving from the stock rom to darkys. I have decided to go for the cleaner Odin flashing. Can I flash clockworkmod recovery by using ROM manager? The official Darkys site has mentioned rom manager as an option to installing CMW in their prerequisites section. But in the custom rom installation guide they have given the steps to copy the update.zip file, enter the recovery mode by 3 button combo and then manually flash twice to get CMW. Which one is the better? ROM manager seems simpler for flashing CMW.....

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 FROYO, Z4root, OCLF.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
If you flash Resurrection you have no need for ROM Manager as the ROM includes Clockwork Mod already.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtusharks:
OK if I flash darkys resurrection, then would I have to root with CF root to get recovery 2e?or I can skip that step? I think the resurrection tutorial at xda has not mentioned it.

Anyone with JuiceDefender having issues with it not working since the EB13 update?

Ever since the update, JuiceDefender doesn't disable 3G or WiFi for me when the screen is off. Planning on noting the problem over on the latedroid website, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has been having the same issue. I originally noticed that after the EB13 update that JD wasn't even displaying in the notification drop screen. I wiped the data, uninstalled, and did a fresh install...

Noticed that Samsung Fascinate users are having a similiar issue since EB01. So I'm thinking this is an EBxx update issue for us Samsung owners.

Update

2/23/11 - 3:05pm EST

Added a topic on latedroids support page

http://feedback.latedroid.com/forum...9-3g-wifi-not-toggling-off-when-screen-is-off
[Epic 4G General] cpcormier3:
I haven't had the need for JD after the EB 13 update. I've had my phone on for about 16 hours and 15 minutes. Had screen on with surfing and everything for about 2h 30m and made about 30m of phone calls. Have done at least 50 texts. Still have 23% of battery life. Oh and I have a couple of widgets and mail checking every hour. After 5 pm I have mail pushed. The battery life for me has been great, without JD.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I am using my phone pretty heavily this week so I have been using JD. I had a problem several times where it shut off 3G data and wouldn't turn it back on. I tried disabling JD, going in and out of airplane mode, toggling it through settings, and NOTHING worked short of a full reboot.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
Yesterday WITH JD I got about 10 hours if I was lucky. But I had BT on all day, and I am not sure how much of that killed my battery.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
It's working fine on mine....then again I have an exception set for Pandora...maybe I just haven't noticed. :confused:
[Epic 4G General] Z a p i x:
I have exceptions as well for email and RSSDemon because I have had issues with email and feeds not updating properly when JD syncs. So I have JD set to sync every 2 hours, and email set to run every 15 minutes and RSS to run every 30.

Back on DI18 I could run 3 days without having to put my phone on the charger with minimal use... Usually 48 hours though which was a couple of hours of talk time, texting, checking email, and the ocassional checking up on facebook via browser (app kills the battery! ><)

It just doesn't disable data or wifi now. Also noticed that even with PREFER WIFI set, it would not enable it wifi over 3G. So I disabled 3G from the widget as it was running 3G nonstop.
[Epic 4G General] cpcormier3:
Yeah, I don't use blue tooth. I used JD until the new update. After that it actually made my battery life worst, with how I wanted to use it....
[Epic 4G General] cpcormier3:
I wiped battery data too after I did the exe install of EB 13. Just to make sure....
[Epic 4G General] Z a p i x:
JuicePlotter on DK28 was really a problem with draining my battery. According to AndroidAssistant or whatever it's called, JuicePlotter was using like 10% of my battery. Used maybe 2% at most on DI18. Why there is such a sharp curve in how 2 battery apps use the battery from saving to draining is mind numbing.
[Atrix 4G General] crawlgsx:
Anyone else noticing a lower signal reception with this phone?

I am coming from an iPhone 4. Previously at my house I was at 4-5 bars, now 2-3.

At my work I usually had 2-3 bars, now I get no signal to 1 bar.

I was trying really hard to enjoy the phone but now that I have seen the signal at my work I think it's going to have to go back :mad:

I wonder if the Inspire would get a better signal.

Update: It's not just the bars, I make calls and texts regularly at work with my iPhone and have never had a problem. With the Atrix it is dropping to no service and I can not make a call or text.
[Atrix 4G General] mchimney:
I was just noticing this same thin as well, i'm coming a captivate and where i normally have full service, the atrix gives me 2-3 bars. That said however, i don't notice much of a difference, if any at all, in the speed of things
[Atrix 4G General] tbae2:
Signal bars are different from phone to phone. I wouldn't trust those to much. However I find this behavior odd as I get better reception on this phone vs my old one. A lot better as in 2 - 3 bars better. Were you able to make calls on you iphone when it actually had the 1 - 2 bars at your office?
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Vaires from phone to phone, remember when iPhone 4 showed higher signal then it was supposed to? then apple pushed the update
[Atrix 4G General] crawlgsx:
Yeah I made calls and texted regularly in my office, with the Atrix it drops service enitrely (says no service) and I can't make a call or send a text :(

I wouldnt care about the bar difference if it wasn't for the actual no service vs never having a problem.
[Atrix 4G General] tbae2:
That is interesting , my captivate had 0 to no service in my office, while the atrix has atleast 3 bars of edge.
[Atrix 4G General] harolds:
Comparing using the bars is not going to work across different phones, besides the iPhone 4 was known for reporting more bars then other phones.

In Android go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > Status and note the signal strength.
[Atrix 4G General] kenyu73:
On Verizon you could update what they call "roaming capabilities". It's not really roaming, its more like manually updating or sync'ing tower or geographic locations. It's supposed to help some issues with signal strength.

Does ATT have a method to manually re-sync in this fashion?
[Atrix 4G General] crawlgsx:
HAROLDS Did u even read the bottom of my post?
[Atrix 4G General] Immix:
i think that means your Captivate still tries to look for a 3G signal but the Atrix is so weak that it cannot find any 3G signal and therefore it automatically starts looking for the Edge signal.

I am saying this because I also noticed the same behavior inside my apt building elevator.
[Atrix 4G General] AmesCell:
This is interesting. I guess I'll find out tomorrow, but several of my friends and I have been noticing that deadspots with our N1's and Captivates. Like no signal, no voice, no text, no data. In the same locations iPhone 4's are good to go on everything. I volunteered to be the guy that gets an Atrix to see how it does. This thread has me worried.

I've sen a few people with this setup, and love the look of it, but how well does the decal hold onto the carbon fiber viny back (I have one on order, but would love to get a vinyl sticker too!)

Scott
[G Tablet Accessories] rgp24:
i would be interested in knowing as well. Although the carbon fiber look of the skin is nice enough for me. but it would be cool if i could add a decal or something else on it.
[G Tablet Accessories] JR2_Alaska:
The carbon fiber on the back is just a giant carbon fiber sticker so to speak. You peel it off the paper it comes on and stick it on the back. I like mine.

I belive the guy who makes the carbon fiber wraps makse some with cutouts and other stuff on them. Have a look at his site.

I don't know how well the carbon fiber is stuck on mine, I have not tried to peel it off, but if I remember correctly it came on 3M paper so its probably a good sticker.
[G Tablet Accessories] scottder:
Sorry, what I mean is, some people put a decal (like Andy the Android) on top of their carbon fiber vinyl 'sticker' and I wonder how well the decal holds onto that.

Scott
[G Tablet Accessories] sbarber:
I have the carbon fiber sticker on the back of my g-tab. I have an android andy decal sticking to that (andy pissing on an apple). They both are rock solid. No peeling issues at all.
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
It depends on the quality of the adhesive of the decal thats going over the carbon fiber. A couple of tips, make sure the surface is clean (wipe it with alcohol) and press the sticker in good with a credit card covered in a paper towel. Hit the decal with a blow drier and press the decal down again. That should stop most of them from coming off.
[G Tablet Accessories] skeeterpro:
I picked up the carbon fiber skin (via eBay) and find it quite nice! Good quality very easy install. Add just enough "tacky" feel to add condifence when holding it as to not slip out of fingers. Looks pretty cool too of course!

[Android Software Development] fua1:
My limited programming experience does not reach into the realm of android, as evidenced by the title of this thread. So I figured I'd ask for help.

Here is what I'm trying to do: Tie and activity to the Simi Clock launcher.

Unfortunately, it only lists apps in the launcher options, so I was wondering if there is an easy way to make an app out of an activity.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Android Software Development] roflha:
Do you mean how do you make an app with an activity at all, or how to use it with the clock you mentioned?

A new app can be easily created using the ADT Plugin for Eclipse, a great thing to have. From there all you have to do is make a new class that extends Activity class.

You can use intents to run portions of other apps, but I am not sure if I quite understand what you mean.
[Android Software Development] fua1:
Hehe, and I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but that's because I know diddly-squat about this stuff.

Let me be more descriptive:

- Let's say I have a widget, for example Beautiful clock, which allows me to to launch an app upon clicking on the clock numbers.

- I also have a launcher which allows me to make shortcuts directly to activities, for example wifi toggle. That acts like an app or widget if placed on a home screen.

- Now, I would like to be able to invoke that "wifi toggle" or other activity by clicking on the clock widget numbers. However, my clock widget only lists apps in "launch-able" options. Hence the dilemma.

Did that make any sense?
[Android Software Development] roflha:
Yeah, I think I see what you're saying.

Well one thing worth noting is that the clock widget is most likely not pulling its list of possible applications based off of the ones you have links to or the ones in your drawer. What I am guessing is it using something called an Intent that allows it to filter for all of the apps that have a launch-able intent Your shortcut most likely doesn't have that.

What you could try doing is, since you were asking about Activities, is create a simple app that, when run, redirects you to the WiFi settings. All the code would be for such an Activity is

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

Intent intent = new Intent("android.settings.WIFI_SETTINGS");
startActivity(intent);
}

Like the attached apk... lol. Install it and try to map weather to it.
