I lost my root access once I did the official update from sprint. I tried to go through the process and root my phone again, however, it woudln't permit me too. Does anyone know how we can gain root access again with the new update?
There is now way to root once you RUU your phone with Sprint 2.1 update. This has been stated time & time again, please search in the future.
Buy and EVO seems that's what everybody else is doing!
Yeah, listen to markus. He loves the evo.

Let me guess....you didn't do any research before blindly flashing a ROM you know nothing about??? I bet next time you'll search before flashing...in the mean time, your SOL until one of the devs figure out how to root it....

If i could afford it id love it even more.
How does this happen? You go on a forum, you search for how to root, you figure all that out just fine.... and then you just blindly update without even thinking to search the forum?
Why?

Correct me if im wrong but i think they did it because the leak you had a week prior was rooted, they must of thought this one was too.

Fortunately for me, my job is paying for it. If not, I'd probably sell my Hero then pay the difference. That's what I did with my TP2.
But it says all over the forum-- like everywhere-- to not update from Sprint.
Isn't that what the OP did? I'm just surprised you can go through the whole process of rooting and not catch the part about not updating from Sprint.

Bummer...I got 2 for $99 at Best Buy in Feb......Hell...I wasn't looking for a phone, my wife was....she wanted tv and internet on her phone. It was my birthday and we went to Best Buy just to look around and she was looking at phones and decided to get the hero, so the salesman asked me if I wanted a phone and I told him no, I was happy with the one I had. He said, how about if it was free?? Well, next thing you know, we both had Heros.....2 weeks later I rooted my phone and the rest is history. The wife wouldn't let me root hers but I just updated hers to the official 2.1 and she loves it...still won't let me root it....

Sprint already called me a few weeks ago trying to sell me a 3rd line of service and said i could get the EVO. I didn't need 3 lines so i passed. Im due for an upgrade in november anyways so ill see if there is a decent price drop or if a better droid phone comes along.

Was just at the store aaking about exchanging my SGS, and the rep told me they were not allowed to exchange phones for lack of recovery anymore, since all curent models do it.
But, she also said that Samsung knows about the problem, that it is well documented, and that a rom update will be out soon to fix it. She said it may ship with the froyo update.
She semed to know what she was talking about and said this came from the Samsung rep, so I think it is legit

With the rate that Samsung's dragging its feet for fixing other issues with the galaxy s line, I'm glad I just got a straight refund for mine last week. Waited quite a long time for the SGS to be available in Canada, but now I'm kind of wondering if I should wait longer for HTC's next super phone.
Think they really need to crank up their bug fix team. Many people got burnt by them not updating older phones, but with the number of sales they have with the S, it really could hurt their mobile sales for years to come if they let things slide.
Raise the BS flag!
i'll only move back to HTC if they include SAMOLED
Samsung is not dragging their feet have you looked at the x10 or the htc magic? Samsung has already put out a update for the bell model i9000m just 1 week after the phone came out.. thats fast.

Yes, the phone's been out for 1 week here in Canada, but in other parts of the world, it's been out for 2 months. And still no solid fix for the GPS. Go check out the GPS thread @ the phandoid forums to see how many times a phantom update was supposed to fix that issue.
I really did love my S, but I can live without a smart phone under all the issues are worked out. I'm a pessimist by nature, but I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised with all kinds of fixes and an on schedule froyo release.
PS, might want to look at the behold II, you know the phone that they said it would be upgraded to 2.x in their promotional video, then said 1.6 is as far as they were going to go just as the S was announced? heheh
Hmm that's weird.
I just exchanged mine this afternoon at Yonge and Dundas in Toronto and I wasn't even asked any questions. The manager said they were aware of the problem and that the new batch was working so it was exchanged on the spot. No mention of waiting for updates...
My new one works perfectly.

The GPS is fixed with the new ROM.... check the threads. I can attest to it it locks much faster and is much more accurate now.

To me, this just further confirms that a fix is coming. If it is fixed in new batches, then an updated SPL will be out shortly, or shipped with Froyo. It would not make sense to not ship it because it would just end up to more warranty returns due to bricked upgrades.
cool, hope they fix this soon!
just for the record, it's not just the Bell model
i9000 from other countries have having the same problem, and it's also not all the units, just some units
seems like they have some one sleeping in Samsung's QA department.
otherwise there is no explanation why some units of the same batch are fine, yet some units are missing the 3 buttons modes
And someone from futureshop was even arguing with me that bell did that to avoid rooting it

Seriously...I just can't believe my luck.....been using the replacement Note since Friday after receiving it on Thursday from handtec....
GUESS WHAT???....I have found another TWO black DEAD PIXELS!!!!
I found it when I was browsing through XDA....although they are not very visible....but I can still see them when I look closer to the screen, and they really BUG me....!!
Man...it's either that handtec sells inferior quality Notes or Samsung has done a really bad job with screen quality control...At the end of the day...I am really sick and tired of receiving, returning and receiving and now have to returning it again!!!!
Anyone got any advice what I should do now??? Should I return it again or just bear with it or just give up the Note totally?? I mean, it's quite expensive to send it back again and will probably take another 2 weeks for me to get the replacement.
Take a look at the photos..
cheers!
This phone really does have bad quality... I'm on my third galaxy note now and it too has screen problems like the others had (dead pixels, burn-in effect, banding etc), not only does it have a defective screen but the gyroscope isn't working! I've never had such a bad experience with any other phone in the past, I've come to the conclusion that this phone.. just.. sucks. Oh yeah, I bought an Galaxy S2 for my gf and it too had these problems with the screen. Maybe it's not only Galaxy Note that sucks, but the company Samsung. I've never EVER had problems like these with Sony Ericsson or Apple.

so.....your third one has screen problems too? Is it bad? You have giving up returning it?
Hopefully I will be third time lucky too...
I have never had a problem with Samsung before...but I can't really believe that I can get 2 problem phones in the row....I really believe that maybe Samsung has roll this phone out too quickly and not paying enough attentions on quality...
If you don't mind me asking...who did you buy your phones from and what version are they?
My first one is a Polish and this second one is a German...Both EU versions
Yes, it's really bad. I mean, I could live with the screen issues as the third one wasn't that bad as the first two (not yet hopefully) but the fact that the gyroscope isn't working makes this phone useless, won't be able to use games like labyrinth and won't be able to auto-rotate the screen...
If I remember correctly all of my phones were made in Korea, all of them imported from Germany.
I don't know what caused this but if you just google around for amoled screen issues you will see that this is pretty widespread, with the galaxy S2 too.
Try to get them unstuck before you return it. There are apps for that, you may get lucky and save yourself the pain in the arse.

With my first one...There were 3 green pixels with a line running through them.
With this one...there are 2 small BLACK ones....(i'm pretty sure they are DEAD instead of STUCK)
anyways...what apps do you recommend and how well do they work? I mean, i have tried "JScreenFix" and it didn't work for my first and this one....

so how many dead pixels do you have on this third one? are they big or small?
even though mine are not obvious...but i'm just not happy the fact that I have paid over 700 bucks for something that is defected...that makes me real mad
you know.. when they asked you if they can open it to check if everything is alright, what they really meant was can they send you one that someone else returned which happens to be open already

Because when i got the replacement, only the ticker on one side of the box has been opened, the sticker on the other side hasn't been touched.
Don't have the dead/stuck pixels problems, but I think I regretted getting the GNote...well for some other reasons.

Trust me...I really really want to be one of yous (a happy GNote owner)....but it is really out of my control.....especially when I can't check the phone myself since handtec is in UK....that's why i got them to check it for me before they sent the phone....Plus...I would really not care to return it again....IF I don't have to pay another $70 bucks to send it back and WAIT another 2 weeks to get the replacement back.....
All in all....I have only used the phone total of 2 days...and waited about 3 weeks for the 2 phones to arrive to me.....
hope you guys can really see where I am coming from....
An YES....I will try and ask handtec to see if they can pay for the postage this time + send the replacement to me first so I can check to see myself if there's anything wrong with it before I sent the bad one back...because I am SICK of not be able to use my new phone properly.....(thanks for the advice )
Hi guys,
thanks for lending me ur precious time towards my thread. I am out in the market to get a phone, lets say a smartphone..
And the only one that could impress me was the NEXUS 4 !!!
But the problem is , I live i India, and the phone hasnt released here...but yet a few websites. like ebay are selling 'em..
Is the device awesome? Compared to HTC One x+??
And is it capable of handling all future apps??
And last one, should i get a phone now or shud i wait...??
THANK YOU...Regards
bought the device 2 days ago .........
first impression :- design and feel = great
turned it on was dissapointed as the display was washed out as i came from amoled note screen ...... but fixed it with kernelsa and the brightness was too good in sunlight
started liking it alot
but suddenly started using 3G and phone got crazy hot in low signal and even normal signal
so hot that i couldnt take calls
the performance is the best but its a phone first so im returning mine
these problems can be fixed using kernels but i still wont be keeping it :/

I would wait until google io next wednesday to see if they announce an updated nexus 4, and then make your decision. Prices may go down on the original nexus 4 if they do.
Is the device awesome? I would say its the real google android experience, always first to get updates. So many roms/kernels to flash or you could just stay stock. Its really your decision, but more importantly I'd make sure you get good coverage with a nexus 4 in your area.

I'm supposed to pick up mine on 15th. Can't keep an eye on the keynote due to time-zone difference.
I don't give a rat's a$$ about LTE support and 32gb storage so my question is: should I postpone the pickup date to 16th of May? Are there any features other than LTE & 32gb storage Google might have up it's sleeve?
A price drop seems kinda irrelevant too because it'll probably take weeks after the announcement for the prices to decrease in retail stores.
Appreciating any advice.
weeks? retail stores?

Let's hope it's only a minor update :fingers-crossed:
Let's just say if 4.3 gets announced at I/O your phone the N4 will get it before any other non Nexus device. If the latest and greatest software is one of your needs the N4 will be a very good bet.
I'm interested in this too as I just received my N4. I haven't even opening the shipping box yet because I don't know if I should start using the phone or wait until I/O....if I open the phone box I get charged a restocking fee if I return it. I move to the UK in 2 weeks so I'm not even sure if LTE matters as it's quite expensive there. But, I am really more interested in a price drop in the 16GB.
Recommend waiting or just going for it?

I am by no means an expert nor do I have any inside knowledge but I doubt the 16GB will get a price drop even if they release an refreshed Nexus 4..
I just ordered one a few days ago and as soon as it arrives I am cracking that box open..
Plus, since you just bought it, I am sure if Google did announce a price drop you could call and get some sort of credit for the price difference..

He came from a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket so he does not even notice the lag..
After the nexus and using it for two days i love it for its pure experience and performance but it heats up a lot according to my liking so going to return it if i can
After other phones go
S4 - dont like touch wiz and late updates
But i certainly love samoled and the octa core laggy
Htc one - bad button placements allround from power to home buttons and lack of detail in camera
I dont know which way to go even if i return the n4
Unlock the boot loader, root it and install a custom kernel and say goodbye to extreme heat.

Hey,
Okay, so I've been using the Galaxy S2 for god knows how long and I really need to move on.. and also the fact that its battery is dying for the third time... that helped me to take the decision to go with the 6P.
There's just a major problem, I'm neither from US nor Europe... and I don't wanna pay 200$ or 300$ extra just to get it.. because the only reason i'm buying it is it has a great value in its current price..
I have seen a few nice forwarding sites, like fishisfast and usgobuy and they do look promising... I can buy from the Google Store and ship to my country and that would only cost me about 50 bucks more.. which is great...
My only concern is defective units... I've seen so many complaints on the forums here about defective units starting from the slight pink screen to speakers and the list goes on... and I'm afraid that If I receive a defective unit i won't be able to get a replacement...
is there's any safe way of getting the 6P without compromising warranty or paying like 200 extra bucks

Ugh, I'm sick of this, I've always wanted to buy a Nexus.. Starting from the Nexus 4, to the 5 and then 6P... and I never did.. Why google makes them that damn hard to get anywhere else on the world !!
I think I'm gonna wait till Amazon start selling them officially.. That's probably gonna be the best in returns standpoint..

Okay, No Nexus for me then... I am buying the HTC M8.. It does have a pretty active dev community.... Definitely not as good as the 6P.. But it's currently for half its price...
