Thinking of getting a warranty on my phone, They told me it would cost me 20 dollars, and that I wouldnt be getting a "New" one it would be "Refurbished", I'm alittle outraged by that.. considering I signed on for another 2 years and bought the phone for $265.00.. My power button is sticking and I can't stand it.. is their anything I can do to fix this? The phone works just fine.. Minus the power button..

If its the power button, call HTC and get a new back cover. Tell them about the power button problem and they will send you a back cover free. You can get a 1 time replacement part on every part of our phone from them.

It's worth a try. And if it doesn't solve the problem, you will have a spare (if they don't request your cc number/send your old cover back)

I just opened up my phone to make sure and the power button is part of the back cover. I think it would fix your problem.

Alright cool, cause from what i see it's attached to the backpanel, maybe some junk got in there, I've tried locking the phone without the panel and it works fine, so it must be the backpanel

Try calling again you might get a different person. Tell them you can't be without your phone, you use it for buisness. If they still insist on you sending your cover first just keep arguing but don't be a **** lol.

That was before someone reported it to HTC as fraud. A bunch of users got one for no reason and someone decided to just tell HTC about it.

How about your parents, or get a pre paid credit card and use that.
yep, after everyone found out you could get a free replacement people were calling HTC to get one even though they didn't need it. Now HTC requires you to put a CC on hold & send in your old one.
All,
I got a full refund from Samsung for my phone, hence this post.
Just wanted to bid goodbye to this forum and all the lovely people here.
Got to learn and explore a lot of things in this forum with this device.
Thinking to move to HTC 1 as of now... but then wanna see how S3 turns out to be. oh btw hows the new xperia if anyone knows
enjoy your new choice of phone ybyb
just curious how you got a full refund from samsung and how long did you have that device in your hands before getting the full refund.

But one thing about which I am still confused is that u said that u have used ur phone for 1.2 year means definitely ur phone warranty is over after 1 year. So without warranty how did u get refund??? Because my phone is also 1.2 year old
CRAP! you refunded the phone even it is way over the warranty date! wow. i want to do that as well. mine keeps rebooting and before that it said it usb storage has been removed. since then i have never seen the homepage etc. im only stuck on the samsung logo. probably my phone is defective on its internal sd and its motherboard. i hae sent it to a service center but they said i should bring it to their main service center to fix. i'd might ask for a refund as well do i can buy a fresh i9003 in mint condition. i have been using the phone for 10 months but had been sent to the service center twice. surely its defective.

I have recently cracked the screen on my HTC One XL. I ordered a new screen and lcd already assembled for replacement and was going to attempt to fix it myself. I tried and had a very hard time getting the housing off. I then realized that I had an international screen instead of the at&t one. What I am wondering is if anyone would be willing to do the replacement for me. I could order the screen replacement and send it with my phone or just send my phone and pay you for the screen. If anyone would be willing to do this that would be amazing. I just really don't want to pay $250 for "professionals" to do it when I could have someone who knows a lot more about my particular phone do it. Thank you.

I would say ask "18th.abn" I've seen he's very good with these phones and he has taken them apart..or ask "subarudroid"
I didn't know we were at a bus stop? Lol I threw u in front of a bus the other day omario. Sorry man I guess its my turn you've done some screen action to bro!

Guys sorry for the offtopic ,but i couldn't find users who opened the HOX before.I have a totally different problem.My phone keeps on rebooting and goes in a strange mode where i can't get it to boot with the power button.To make it boot i either have to squeeze the plastic shell on the phone or copletely remove it.I am sure that some part of the hardware is getting squized.When i connect it to pc via usb it shows "qualcom download mode" or something.Any idea would be greatly appreciated.I am going to send it to HTC for repair if i don't figure it out!

I would have to agree, 18th.abn is a master with these phones....
I'm getting my M8 delivered today and before I run off and S-off, recovery, root what should I do first?
should I let the system do an OTA update, let it run in stock mode for a day?
any tips, recommendations?
I held off on the ota when I picked mine up as I wasn't sure it would work for root and s-off. Be sure of all the steps read through a few times and get to it.

You're safe to take the OTA first. It'll save you some extra steps later on.
But really, the first thing I'd do is look for physical defects. I just recently noticed my back camera is tilted inward on the left side of the hole and doesn't sit level. No idea if its been making my photos worse or anything but it now kinda bugs me. This comes after exchanging 2x due to other minor physical defects (a chip in the corner and bent metal bump on bottom) so I guess you could say I'm a little upset with HTC's quality control and/or am just unlucky.
I'd use stock for a little bit before flashing anything, but do get S-Off. I find that I really like the stock experience. It's lightyears ahead of Touchwiz.

Well I did it backwards LoL =]
But what I should have done was first thing after looking device over for visible defects is get your 50gb of data from google drive that you get for "free" ha yeah right.. then if you want to get your Isis money. You cant be rooted to get at those two freebies do them first. then weaksauce then follow direction on the weaksauce page to get S-Off. then falsh a recovery and then flash root from chainfire ie flashable cwm twrp Supersu files. then the rest is up to you =] google luck

After a quick phone call with a TMO rep, my replacement V20 is on the way. I explained to them exactly what the situation was and the nice lady had no problem sending me a new one. it'll arrive in just 3 days.
Anyone not ready to wait ****in forever for a new exploit might want to try giving them a call explaining the incompetence and miscommunication behind two companies like LG and TMO creating a device with an unlockable bootloader and no flashing.
Just be nice and respectful and they will give you a new one. Don't update this time lol.

I fixed the longstanding touchscreen bug and bluetooth. uploaded a patch to lineageOS, should have nightlies again very soon
My replacement V20 came with 10J I think. I got it like a month ago as my charging port caught fire thanks to a garbage Belkin cord.

Anyone know how to get rid of the android system update in the notification bar.....I'm scared my kid or wife might hit update on accident. I know you can just block it and silence it but it shows it as Google play services so I don't want to block those notifications.
