So I went to try out slacker on my phone which is two weeks old now ever droppd, never been wet and I found out the headphone jack does not work??? Anyone else having this problem if so I will assume its a software problem before going to sprint..... let's hope the epics are not faulty and pulled in three months like the moments which they are finally admiting to people where ****

My headphone jack has also worked perfectly from day one.
If the audio isn't going through the headphone jack when you plug in the headphones (as in still coming out of the speaker) then you have a faulty epic.
Sprint will replace it if you are under the 1month warranty.

Have not had time to take it in but yea thi one has some major problems the proxcimity sensors are ****ed too I have to tap on them repetedly to make my screen turn back on while in a call sucks cause I rooted this thing and got rid of all the fat no I have to do it again

no proximity sensor issues or headphone jack issues here.

When I got my evo on launch day I couldn't get the head phones to work. I found out for done reason there was a pace of plastic blocking the hack grok going all the easy down. I forced the jack and it worked. So weigh I gory my epic I just forced to jack all the way in cause of the evo. I haven't had any head phone issues

Got my new phone today seems to be working better I had a bad one for sure couple things on the new one work that where not working on the old one. The proximity sensor works normal and so does the head phone jack, also I notice that the soft keys stay on when I'm doing stuff not like the old where they would flash all the time on and off. So I just need to root it and ill be happy again. While I was at bestbuy I had them put a zaggs screen protector on the new one for me which btw was free since the one dude there kept ignoring me and taking care of other customers that where behind me when I got there. Anyone have a rom that they would reccomend? I never got one on the old epic cause **** was all messed up.

So i got the new one rooted with clockworksmod but when trying to install a custom rom it fails like my last one...? I am using the rom manager from the market and it shows that I have clockworks mod installed but it fails saying it can not find the whole update signature, my old one was doing that crap too. What is wrong here am i doing something wrong? It also does this every time i boot to the recovery console.

The ROM Manager install method doesn't work very well. Download the One Click Clockwork flasher, and run the run-try-first.bat. This should install Clockwork directly to where it needs to be, and let you boot straight to it with Vol Down + Camera + Power when the phone's off.

Sprint warrants the phone for one year, not one month. any problem in the first month gets you a new in box at any Sprint store because they don't want you to cancel, but that is not their warranty, which is one year from firs activation. Warranty without insurance service is given free for purchases before Oct 25, and is $35 for purchases after Oct 25.
Also some makes/models of phones have less robust physical parts. They would have run the 3.5 mm jack through at least 1000 cycles and established some failure rate. But who knows. certain Palm models had widespread failures of 3.5 jacks. It is too early to tell if the jacks on the galaxies hava problem. One would need to see who they are doing among people who use headphones 5 times a day after six months to a year.

Its stupid though my hero has two blow speakers and a dead trackball they say to warrenty it I need to go through htc now? Its stupid they already have ****ty customer service why are they making it worse? Sorry didnthave time to update the thread name this is my first non htc adroid phone and I know with all the data lock problems the moment has that samsung has some major hardware issues

[Q] Any new ways to root??

I Had a beautiful Rooted G2 that fell off my desk and screen quit working... Now I was sent a new G2 (Insurance pays) and I tried rooting... Well Visionary is a No Go, Rage.. No go, and no matter what I tried its not working... Any suggestions?? When using Visionary it hangs and thats it.. Rage just hangs.. And rebooting DOES NOT MATTER they just hang... I put in a different Hboot nothing, tried a PC10 .zip Wrong reboot.... Any suggestions?? I cant have all this freakin eat your battery Bloatware. It pisses me off and would love my custom rom back on. Again any suggestions PLEASE???
PS... psneuter does not work either.

I'm guessing you were sent a replacement device with gingerbread?
if so, you're s.o.l. at this point. sorry.

Why is that?? What did they do to the system this time??

Patched the exploit that allowed us to root.. along with change the build.prop to read "2.3"

Nope theres no way to root gingerbread. It looks like your stuck because it seems like no one is working on it. I'm on my fifth replacement with gingerbread, I keep asking for one with froyo and they say it's coming but I get gingerbread every time, this really sucks I need CM7

I guess there's no downgrade hack for the G2 like these is for the Bell Mobility DZ? If not, then perhaps you can sell your LNIB G2, buy a secondhand DZ, root it, and have money left over. I paid $200 for an unlocked DZ in excellent condition from a local eBay seller, which is a heck of a lot better than the $500 the carriers want off-contract.

Its all on where the initial impact is. I've read somewhere that the G2s come with Gorilla Glass, but even that with just the right pressure in the right place with beak the LCD. Just like the right amount of pressure of just 7lbs on your foot the right way will break a bone.
You just happened to be unlucky.

Don't let anyone take your money dude. At the moment there is no way possible to even root gingerbread on this device. You are just going to have to hold on and wait. Have you called T-mo? Last I heard, they were letting people trade in their gingerbread G2's for froyo ones, because gingerbread was never even supposed to go out on those devices.

I'm glad I ran into this forum, I was about to order a new G2 because my keyboard is sticky. Well people were asking for Gingerbread, now we got it alrite :-/... Doesn't matter to me though, I'm on Sense 3D :-D

Lol oh no no. nobody would get my money 'til i had a rooted phone. That trade bit sounds interesting though. Even if I bought my phone off craigslist and am on a non-data family plan? They might be biased against me lol

If you bought your phone off Craiglist it will show up in Tmo's "Device Model Warranty Tool" as "Warranty not verified." (Unless the phone had never been used before, then it should appear as a new device.) Unfortunately, that status will make it impossible for you to exchange your phone through Tmo, you may still be able to get support from HTC depending on the age of your device.
If you have the PHP insurance/warranty it's another matter, then you should be able to exchange the phone regardless of its age or origin.
(I'm a former Tmo rep btw)

The php insurance is nice. I've replaced a few phones, I just hate how Asurion verifies their authorized account users. They never see me as an auth. user!!
A few years back, it was no problem, but now they seem to be much more strick or something...
Sry bout my rant lol... maybe you can get an independent insurance plan and go from there
Goodluck.

Leaving EVO, hello ns4g

So after all this time using an EVO since ship date, Sprint and HTC blew it with this gb update. Getting a comparable device without losing my upgrade, was a huge plus for me to move on to this.
It wasn't the of root. It was the lack of testing, and caring about the users of this phone, the 30 second update that went on while I slept, the 2 replacements that randomly revolted every 3+hrs just everything I hope the ns4g is better.
Must say, its been a great run.

My wife has had 2 replacement evos in the past month due to broken usb port. I wish at this point they'd just offer a nexus

My camera is being retarded and after 2 or 3 pics my phone reboots. I'm hoping sprint will offer me a ns4g.

Are you using a stock Evo? If so, call and ask if they'll upgrade you. I don't think they're reading this and cross-referencing your username to your account.

When you call for a replacement, state that you are not physically able to make it to a sprint repair center: wheelchair bound, etc, whatever your excuse may be, as wrong as that seems, it's the only way to get them to MAIL the replacement to you, express that you've had the device replaced 1+ times, and that you spoke to a manager who told you, you were eligible for a like or comparable replacement, they will offer you the evo shift, ns4g, and all the other low-end devices.
This is up to you form here on.
This bypass's the reps at the store.
Foot note: make sure you do this with TECH SUPPORT!

They are so lame to make us go into the stores anyway. It's very annoying. however on my side... I've been lucky. never once have had an issue. my last phone I even changed out my own touch screen. :-D then when I got my evo. I got a hammer and killed my last phone. hahahha

haha, I wish. I've had nothing but issues out of my evo

I got some pretty bad light leaks under the home,back, and search buttons to where it looks like the metal around the bottom of the phone is white. I have heard you can get a replacement for light leakage but does or would this qualify?
who cares what this says anyways

sounds like some here have the new phone itch.. after the new phones come out all kinds of defects are found on our current phones..
ha ha.. I suffer from it..

Just tell them your phone randomly reboots lol.

Good luck with the Nexus. I have had two and sold them both. (traaded in my OG Evo.) The Nexus phones have all kinds of issues, including miserable battery life, bad radios causing dropped calls, taking 6 hours to charge the battery, flimsy plastic construction, etc.
I ended up with an Evo 3D, and so far, so good. It's nice to have a fast phone with a large screen, but somewhat more narrow than the original Evo.
Go to the Sprint site and see the Nexus user reviews vs. either of the Evos. It's no contest.
Good luck.

Thanks, and I always have 2 more evo's lol.

I don't have any of these problems. I have a rooted EVO 4G in the drawer and a Sprint upgrade ready to be claimed. Other Android phones I have are the N1 and Atrix 4G, bought the 3D as a gift for my dad as well. Right now the NS4G is the only Android phone that I'd use.

I told them that and they told me I need a task killer app because there apps staying open causing my phone to reboot. It has done it but not lately. I do want a different phone since I can't root this one and I just got it like 3-4 weeks ago. So not so much a new phone just one that isn't locked. If the EVO gets root I would keep it but with all the rumors going around that it won't or it maybe October or never I don't want to wait 2 years to get a phone I can root.

Need help deciding. MT4G or slide.

My replacement MT4G arrived two days ago and has the bad screen. Today the lower buttons stored working. They offered me a MT4G slide but I don't know if its better. Should I call them back and get it or take a chance with another replacement? They haven't adopted it yet. Don't know what to do. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the DARKSIDE

Yes its way better , dual core more ram better camera its similar to an htc sensation but with out the qhd display, with better camera and keyboard.
The only con about it for me is that it doesn't have as many roms as the glacier but I'm sure that will pick up soon now that the source code was released

It actually has the same amount of RAM, and a smaller display.

Get the Slide.
1. Higher re-sale value... Actually it's much higher.
2. Dual core
3. CM7 is now available for it

They tried to get me to switch to a Slide too when my most recent MT4G broke.
But I hate slidey keyboards. I mean I HATE them. Plus the slide is a thicker handset, which isn't as pocket friendly.
I told them I'd gladly switch to a sensation, but they weren't going for that. I don't get it. Both are HTC products. They sell them both for $200 with a new contract. What's the different to T Mobile?
I'm 100% certain that my next replacement MT4G will be borked somehow too because it's pretty obvious to me that the product line has dismal quality control. I think the only solution is to let them give me the 4G slide and give it to my wife who loves slidey keyboard phones and upgrade her line to the Sensation and take that one for myself.
(Why didn't I just buy the damned Sensation from the beginning?)

I'm okay with the thicker phone. I have some paralysis in my hand so I need the thicker phone. I do like the new camera and the high def camera.

For the longest time, I was annoyed with the trend of phones moving toward touchscreen interfaces because they lack tactile feedback—not only from the click of a key, but the feeling of the gaps between keys or indentations on keys to know which key you're pressing. I can't dial or scroll through my contacts without looking anymore and the vibration feedback won't tell me where my finger is on the screen. However, at least I have more precise voice command features, and Swype has quickly become my favorite input method for word composition.
I find slide keyboards to go to the other extreme in having to deal with the bulk and the complication of a moving part and trying to type on QWERTY keyboard with only your thumbs. It's not the same as having a full-sized computer keyboard, and I'm much faster with Swype than typing with my thumbs.
If billwinkle can choose between the MT4G and MT4GS for the same price, I say get the MT4GS and if he doesn't like it, sell it on eBay, play panel lottery on eBay for a good MT4G, and pocket the difference. That said, I think the decision has already been made.

The developing sections is deserted right now... maybe in a month we'll have a great assortment of roms...until then I don't think you should say that.

There may not be a plethora of ROMs for the MT4GS, but once you strip out all the bloatware, it is unstoppable! I have tried and tried again to take my phone to it's limit (ie: maxing out open browser windows, opening messages and emails, random apps, etc.) and have yet to experience my phone buckling under the stress I put it through. I actually run out of apps to open before my RAM is depleted. And once I'm finished, the *stock* Task Manager is excellent for clearing out the RAM being used. The dual core is definitely a step up. Everything responds much smoother. My gf has the Glacier and I have the Slide. I see the differences every day. She's about to return hers for warranty replacement and hopefully she gets offered the Slide. My $.02.

Tell her to ask for the slide, not just hope they offer it.
You may have to have 2 warranty replacements before they offer the slide. I have no idea. But it's pretty straight forward. They slide is considered a direct replacement for the Glacier.

Your right, sometimes the CSRs just don't do there job you might have to ask.

I did end up getting the slide after the second replacement had the bad screen. So far except for the bloat its a very nice phone after all.thank you everyone for helping me make the decision to go with MT4GS. Now I have to learn to root it and get rid of that bloat.

Desire Z/G2 Build Quality and Problems Thread

Hello. After a lot of troubles with my desire z I want to open this thread in which everyone can post the problems he has had with his desire z.
For example mine in order had:
-Some keys working random (fixed by htc)
-Volume up key not working (fixed by htc by replacing th mobo)
-Screen not working, ribbon cable I think (sending to htc now)
so this is not that htc amazing build quality...

I had a few issues, but they got fixed under warranty.
Issues fixed
-Dust Under Screen (fixed 1year ago HTC)
-Loose hinge (replaced the spring, 1yr ago phone still feels good, glad i did it)

I see that both of you had your issues fixed by HTC, exactly how long did it take to get your phone back to you? And how did you go about getting a replacement from htc???
I'm having a problem with my hardware keyboard, When I press the spacebar key 90% of the time it will double space rather then single spacing.

When I sent my phone for dust issues it took them about 2 weeks to repair. Htc did not offer a replacement phone they just repaired it and sent me my phone back. I ended up using my Motorola rokr e8 for two weeks.

You had to unroot/go back to your stock rom before sending your g2 to them correct?

I don't know if it's the same in the US, but in Italy we have "collection centers" where you bring your broken phone, they send phones to HTC and then give it back to you. This may take two weeks. The nearest collection center isn't that near, so HTC send me a courier/carrier (don't know which one is the right word in english) and after a week I have my phone back
The second and third time I've asked them to change my phone (I know that tmobile before having the broken phone, has already sent you a new sensation or mt4g). Now I want to see if this time they will change it... I hope so, can't leave the phone for a week so often (less than one year: three problems...)
edit: yes unroot and everything with Nipqer's guide

Yes unroot, when i sent in my phone i was still on stock, rooted afterwards. Here is the guide by Nipqer that virtualflyer mentioned.

to use that unroot guide your phone must have true s-off, to check if you have true s-off see this thread.

Only problem I ever had was a burnt flash, but I really used the torch app A LOT, and usually with the Death-Ray setting on, lol. I bought 4 replacements on ebay for less than 5 dollars, change it myself and it's all good.

What did you repair? How much did it cost?

My volume rocker is a bit mushy due to me abusing it too much, but otherwise my G2 is working great after 19 months of ownership.

Owning a DZ sins february 2010 and noticed the glass was a bit higher then other DZ's. A few months later I noticed dust under screen, wich has gotten worse since...
Also on top of the phone, near the power button. The housing is cracked.
Other then that I am verry pleased with my DZ up till now
