[HD2 General] Charlie360:
Could a third party ROM really damage the mother board of an HD2 - the reason I ask is that I've just had HTC UK send me a quote for a new mother board saying that it's been damaged by an illegal ROM, and therefore isn't covered by warranty. I sent the phone back with the ghost screen problem, having had HSPL on it I wiped it at set it back to SPL 2.08, then put a stock ROM back on it - I have been quoted just under 200 GBP for a new motherboard! It seems a little odd to me that fisrtly they can tell it's had a different ROM on it and secondly that although I've been running an energy ROM for something like 10 months, I have almost exclusively been running MDJ android from the SD card for the last 4 months, the apparent damage to the motherboard has only happened in the last week or so!:mad:
[HD2 General] jalyn02:
I never have a prob...with T-Mobile. I don't even flash the HD2 back to it's original rom. This will be my 8'th HD2 with T-Mobile exchange easily no prob...but that's T-Mobile not EU. I would think that we should wipe the phone by all means, and I don't think you sent it back factory that's the prob...you must have missed something. What ever they can do to stop us from modding I'll phones

They will do it, even if it means the famous voided warranty cheap shot.
[HD2 General] Spendy:
I had the ghost screen every so offten, but more just white dots they said today I needed a new board £198 but it didn't mention anything about a different rom. I paid £20 for the phone to be sent back to me how annoying!
[HD2 General] Charlie360:
They wanted £182 for the new MB in mine - I think I'll pay for the phone to be returned too, as it seems to me that they are just hiding behind the warranty and on principle I don't think I'll buy another HTC - had been thinking about a desire HD.

What excuse did they give you for not covering the screen under warranty?
[HD2 General] Spendy:
They just said it was not a warranty repair?
[HD2 General] xaccers:
Request a detailed explaination as to how the use of a 3rd party ROM actually caused the damage. State that if they do not give you a satisfactory answer you will take the matter to your local trading standards office.
[HD2 General] Charlie360:
Whilst I will ask for the explanation, I think the problem is that they can hide behind the warranty all day long (they have clearly stated that the use of non-official ROMs will cause the warranty to be void) so I don't think I've got much of an argument really. It's a shame because for me, the HD2 was out of contract (and therefore it's not a massive issue) and I was genuinely just about to buy a Desire HD, but this whole experience with HTC, has made me think that there's more than enough competition out there supplying handsets with Android on them - I'll go elsewhere and not be back - it's a matter of principle.

Spendy - perhaps you should request a more detailed explanation as to why it wasn't covered by warranty - perhaps they just rely upon us not questioning their decision?

HI Anyone who has problem with HTC warranty ::

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844980
[HD2 General] Charlie360:
Unfortunately it seems nearly impossible to get a straight answer out of HTC on this - the official line seems to be that they are unwilling to consider the issue any further until I pay their fees to replace the main board - they keep sticking to the following statement:

"I spoke with you earlier on the phone regards to your HD2 I have attached a picture showing that the device itself has been rooted before the information from the sd was inserted with the software information.

Unfortunately this confirms the device being out of warranty and if you would like the device to be repaired the full quote would have to be paid, or return of the device unprepared a payment of £22.43p would have to be made, or we can discard the device for you.

I understand that you wanted to try Android on your device however de to this there is nothing more we can do without payment of quote."

I've run out of time and patients with the matter and will therefore just replace the phone - any recommendations, I'm quite partial to Android, but not keen to put any more money HTC's way.

I'm using the Feb 12, 28244 GTX rom.

It's a beautiful rom but it has too many apps that I dont use.

and it has so many stuff that the memory is way too low.

I have used the SEARCH botton with no success.

I want to clean up all unwanted apps to make it more multitask friendly.

Does anyone know how to do this? any help is greatly appreciated
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] -Jonny-:
Unwanted/unused apps will not take up space in your available program memory, only in your storage memory. So unused apps don't slow it down. Only running programs take up program memory and use the processing speed - and I think you will find the main culprits are actually Sense 2.5 with CHT 2.0 along with all the pictures and backgrounds that get loaded into memory and even the Start Menu. This may help you begin your search as you decide what exactly your program memory is to be used up by. Personally I use TF3D2.1, but this may be too harsh a step (old technology!) for some. However it means I have over 100MB free with a very fast interface.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
Thanks Jonny, as a new custom ROM user that was very informative for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] doublen1:
One thing you can do is delete the programs you don't intend on using from the start menu. It's easy, just go to the File Explorer/My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Start Menu - From there you can move things around as you see fit, you can delete the shortcuts, move them to different files etc... this isn't uninstalling them but it cleans up your start menu folders a lot. I find there's at least a dozen apps I just don't use in the Energy roms so I do this a lot. Install all your programs then do this. Keep in mind, these programs are still in the device memory, so if you delete something, like Word for example. When you click on a word document it will still open in word because it is still installed. You've just removed the icon (I wouldn't recommend deleting anything you may use though, but if you do and want it back, it's nothing a hard reset won't fix)

[Omnia II General] VAMOSQUENOSVAMOS:
Hey guys.

I'm looking for a Rom lite, pure Windows only (with nothing from Samsung, or Sense), which is the version 6.5.3. Nor 'Megalite'. Let's say the version 'normal or official' of WM 6.5.3.

I know that there is nothing in Spanish, but English is ok.

I looked and saw that there are many, but not which to test. I want a stable and fast, no experiments, no hybrid, no layers, no sense, nor given. Something simple and it goes well.

I do not like to be tested every so often, I want something to last me a long time.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemmie:
Been having problems since flashing a Rogers stock Froyo Kernel yesterday. I made it back to stock but found I couldn't upgrade to any 2.2 ROMs, it seems that the ext4 lagfix was still activated on the Internal SD card and this prevented me from remounting anything on it or formatting. I am now stuck in recovery mode, although it is possible to get into download mode as well. I have access to CWM, and I've been farting around with wiping caches, formatting partitions, etc.

I have attempted everything I can think of to try to flash back to stock, including the Captivate tookbox 2.6 for Rogers, and the Odin 1-Click with the Master Clear option. Nothing seems to work. I get the classic message:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10

(Invalid argument)

E: copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA

The real problem seems to be that there is no update.zip on the internal sd card for me to use as a backup to flash back to stock. I am having no luck with the two software packages above, but it seems that if I could push my own backed-up update.zip I made a few days ago to the internal sd, I could get past this.

I need help. Please give me some advice.

[Captivate General] Tennis11:
Well I contacted the retentions department at AT&T and the lady I spoke to was extremely nice. Basically, the deal is:

- I get $20 for the next three months

- I get to keep my Captivate

- I get to choose any AT&T phone except the iPhone come May 9

- The Atrix will be available to me for $150 in May

Questions:

1. What should I do with my Captivate? I have to use it till May, but should I sell it then? How much would I be able to get? I don't really want to give it to my mom because it has so many problems.

2. How does the Atrix compare to the Captivate? I really want an exact, extensive breakdown.

3. When May comes, will there be a better phone to get than the Atrix?

[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
1. Don't know how much you can get for it. A quick way to check would to be to simply go on ebay and do a search. You can also hang on to it and use it as a backup or a developer phone, if you're into that sort of thing.

2. Are you asking for a breakdown of hardware differences or overall user experience? Hardware differences are that the Atrix has a dual code tegra2 cpu (each core at 1ghz) though I'm pretty sure it isn't being utilized properly with the current firmware, qHD 540x960 LCD panel as the display, 1930mAh battery, 1024mb ddr2 ram, hdmi port, ships with android 2.2.. probably some other stuff I'm leaving out.

Reports regarding user experience vary. Some people like it and say it is very responsive, others say the screen, while very sharp, is dull and doesn't have nearly the color depth of amoled screens, and hate the fact that it ships filled with unremoveable bloatware, sideloading disabled, and general ATT douchebaggery. Just browse around and read some reviews. Engadget had a pretty decent one.

The thing that kills the Atrix for me is that Motorola insists on busting everyone's balls by shipping it with a signed/encrypted bootloader, and signed system files. Quite honestly, I'd prefer my Captivate to the Atrix for this reason alone.

3. The HTC Inspire 4g, Samsung Infuse 4g and Atrix 4g will all be out around May (or at least that's what I've read), if you insist on staying with ATT. Not sure about what will be released on other carriers, but I also hear that the Sony XPeria ARC is a good one to look out for.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
If you are always waiting for the next best phone you will always be waiting. Jump ship when you are bored
[Captivate General] zelendel:
At the top of your screen you will see a link for the device DB. Use it to compare the the Atrix to well what ever you want. They are right though if you are always waiting for the next big thing then you will always be waiting. It seems with the speed at which things are progressing there will always be something newer in or around the 3 to 6 month point.
[Captivate General] ricethief:
I picked up a Atrix today. I also have a Captivate. The first thing you will notice is the difference in screens. Some people will say one is better than the other, but it is all user perception. Some people like saturated colors(AMOLED) some people don't. It's best to take a look at one in the store. I do not mind the Atrix screen, after a week of use probably won't notice the colors not being saturated anymore.

I think I am impressed the most with the battery. The battery on my Captivate killed me, I was always trickle charging. Even after the first charge on the Atrix the battery runs circles around my Captivate.

For people complaining about the Atrix being sluggish, I haven't noticed it. Stock it pulled a little over 2500 in Quadrant, my Captivate with yesterdays leaked Froyo pulled barley over 1000 at stock. Hopefully this will only improve once 2.4 is released with dual core support. Text is alot clearer for me. The high resolution makes everything smaller so that takes a little getting used to, but its a good thing. Fingerprint scanner is actually nice and works great. HDMI out is pretty sweet to have finally. I thought it was supposed to have a FM radio, but doesn't. GPS works great, it is nice to have a working GPS again. Overall the phone is a beast. The only disappointment I have and it is a big.... the signed bootloader is bogus.

The Samsung Infuse might be out by then, but like alot of others here...."never again"

I'm curious as to how you got ATT to agree to this? Did you have a history of problems? How long are you into your captivate contract?

Hi Everybody,

I was wondering if its possible to downgrade free x10 beta 4 to any 2.1 rom,or the latest rogers update.

If i made a nandroid back up(im on .54)with free x10,then installed the latest update from rogers. Would I be able to enter x recovery again and restore the free x10 rom,and be able to switch back when I need to ?

Or do I need to re root after the SE update,and use something like mybackup to restore some of my data settings(adw,contacts,txts etc).

I just want to be able to switch from 2.1-2.2 at anytime,is this possible ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:

I seem to have the all too common problem with my X10 where it reboots when under lots of load.

The phone is a Vodafone UK model (SI 1232-4285)

I've altered the settings inside build.prop to reflect the above number, rebooted the handset, then tried to reflash the firmware, however the PC Companion updater tells me "There is no software available for your phone yet, please try again later.", then ends, without actually performing the repair.

Cept now it wont turn on. The phone vibrates momentarily upon pressing the power button, but does nothing else :confused:

Is it possible that some "system settings" from my backup have conflicted with the new firmware?
