[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I'd think that, given this language, one could easily argue that there's no restocking fee. I mean, the language as written is clear: each of these criteria must be met for there to be a restocking fee. The difference between "and" and "or" isn't insignificant.

Funny enough, I just finished a chat with Sears where the lady said there's a 90-day return policy with no restocking fee. If I get that via email, then I'll set.

Update: Grrr, no email.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rothnic:
You talked to a lady representing the online company.

I'm talking about from experience what people went through with the stores. They all have different managers, with different attitudes. I personally felt I was hassled even to get a replacement for a device with bad hardware.

If you feel like arguing and justifying, go for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Oh sure, I hear you. I was saying that if I have an email stating a policy, then that would apply. Unfortunately, no email, and so we're left with an ambiguously worded policy. I hate that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rothnic:
Tried editing, then you had replied already:

Edit: BTW, their usage of "and" is correct if you consider it. They can charge 15% for each one of those cases. They can charge for no box and they can charge for used and they can charge for missing materials. I interpreted it the same way as you, but then I was proved wrong when multiple people were hassled.

I think they all got it returned, but some people spent more of their time in Sears talking to a manager than others.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Yep, I think you're right: such is interpreted that way on occasion. Being a bit of a purist when it comes to grammar, though, I'd say that being "and" means that all conditions have to apply.

But, other than being pedantic, that's irrelevant. I can easily see a Sears manager making a stink. What they don't know is that I have a secret weapon: my wife ALWAYS gets her way in these circumstances. She will not settle for no, period, and never loses. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
Here's the link to American TV's return policy

http://www.americantv.com/receipt/receipt_ol_terms.html

It's 5 days + 7 days shipping on notebook computers (I'm guessing the tablet would fall into this, maybe the dock as well)

Was thinking about ordering the dock here as they give a discount ~$125 for my area, but not sure when/if I'll get a tablet, return period is too short.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Wow, I'm realizing just how spoiled I am buying everything from Costco. I'm seeing that most places have restocking fees and/or only take returns on unopened items.

Question: Amazon says they have a 30-day return policy for computers, but that computers must be in "New" condition. For some retailers, this means unopened. Does Amazon take returns on opened and used computers, assuming that all original packaging and accessories are included?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dustindw:
I was really hoping to see Costco's name appear on the list of retailers carrying the Transformer... I bought the Xoom there knowing that if the Transformer came out in the 90 day window (and it looked like a better device/value) then I could return the Xoom to Costco. Their return policy is completely unrivaled.

I'm sure they'll start carrying it as soon as I purchase it from another location. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
According to Costco corporate, they'll be carrying other (as yet unnamed) tablets, but not the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
I just returned an opened GTablet to sears, they did not charge me one penny and all I said was that I couldn't deal with the screen viewing angles.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Good to know, thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cyberguest:
just got a new credit card today, it has a merchant return policy: within 60 days, you can get a refund from card company for whatever reason up to $250. not enough to cover the tablet, enough for the dock.

check your credit card benefits
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mustafazr:
So does anybody have any extra info Best Buy's in-store return policy on tablets? Seems they have the clause "could include restocking fee" and on the website but are not specific on what products that applies too.

Was considering picking up the Acer Iconia tomorrow to play with it and check it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Zach Alt:
You should be fine. I plan(ned?) on doing the same thing. But isn't Best Buy closed for Easter tomorrow? Plus, you have to get extremely lucky to get them to sell you an Acer before Monday. I think I'm just going to wait until Tuesday and buy the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
I've bought two tablets from Best Buy. They have a 14 day return policy and no restocking fee. Returned one of my tablets without any issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Visual360:
Is this Sears in the US. LOL.

Sears has the worst return policy, and this is from my personal experienced. I guess they have a policy for computers/electronics that you can only do an exchange no matter what if it's already open. It's like how the hell should I test the device if I don't open it. I didn't realized this, but I was even willing to pay the restocking fee just to return the flip type camcorder I bought. Those bastards wouldn't give me my money. Anyway, long story short, I'll never buy anything from Sears ever again.

Oh well, I'm happy you didn't have any problem with your return.
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
i'm having problems getting most of these to work. if i say "listen to [artist]" then instead of playing, it's off to do a google search for "listen to [artist]"... so is it early days for google voice at the moment? the only one that works for me is "directions to ...", "navigate to..." sometimes works
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
I thinks its play [artist] bit I believe panadora starts up anyway
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
yeah, just done some research, and it seems pandora, rdio have the listento command, as to spotify. of course i can't access the first to, and i don't want a premium account for spotify.

after reading about the intent the voice command triggers, it may (albeit with some degree of error) be possible to use voice commands to play local music with a few lines of code!
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
infact these voice actions DO for me:

Map of (place)

Navigate to (place)

These DO NOT:

go to (website)

note to self (message)

those that do not redirect to google search, not picking up on the keyword trigger :( I have tried my voice and others too.

haven't tested anything else yet as no sim!

EDIT: after checking the "Help" of the voice actions on the phone, the only voice actions listed are: "navigate to", "directions to", "map of", "call" and "web search"

where are the others?
[Nexus S General] MarkusPO:
what a bugger! open voice actions, click menu button, settings, then set the language to english (united states)

those above only work with english (uk)

when english us is chosen, you get more commands available to you. i'd be interested as to know why...
[Nexus S General] lambda30:
Tested right now. All 4 of those listed work on my Nexus S i9020. Android 2.3.2.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] reaterm:
Hello, I want to share with you the rom that I use on my Diamond.

ROM OVERVIEW:

- WM 6.1 Build 21057 (ReaTerM 1.2+)

- HTC Sense 2.1 CARBON CFC-Compressed (ReaTerM 1.4+)

- EzInput 2.0 Compressed

- Tachi Dialer (ReaTerM 1.3+)

- PagePool: 18 Mb (ReaTerM 1.4+)

- Free storage: 65 - 80* Mb (*ReaTerM 1.4 MME Edition+)

- Free RAM: 30/40 Mb (Daily use)

- Many useful programs up to date

- Some registry tweaks

Known bugs:

-_-_-_-

Thanks to:

- All the people who worked on the programs and interfaces cooked in this rom.

Download Links:

ITA (Ver1.4)--> http://www.mediafire.com/?vatf8gn43z4egqf

WWE (Ver1.4) --> http://www.mediafire.com/?mq3elpv0vk5dvpo

WWE MME (More main Memory Edition) --> http://www.mediafire.com/?of3j4rwpja6866g

Tips:

- I recommend to you to do a Task29 Format before flashing, after that you can flash the rom from the bootloader.

- The ReaTerM 1.4 looks better with kimi_sae_ireba background for all tabs and its CARBONed wallpaper (See Attached Files)

- For a better touch experience I recommend to use with these roms Azharsunny iTouch, that really improves the diamond touch responce. Remember that every screen alignment requests a new installation (See Attached Files)

- MME Edition is the normal ReaTerM 1.4 but with a LZX Compression. This compression method gives to the rom more free space slowing "a little" down the system.

- The 1.4+ roms have 3 kind of clocks, discover them tapping the right upper corner of the digital clock.

There are 2 screen shots at the end of the 2 post. Now I'm going to write a little list of programs that the rom has, maybe even the screen shots can increase.

I'm near to release a new version of the rom, it isn't a major upgrade because I haven't still done the things recommended by Rod, but it has some nice features that I think they can improve quite the rom speed and lightness.

-Dialer: COMPRESSED ( about 50% lighter)

-changed ezinput 2.1 with 2.0 and: COMPRESSED (about 40%)

-...working... on Manila CFC, yes, already CFC compressed, but I've recompressed every singular file of manila for a better compression.

Maybe the rom would be online this evening (local time)

Ita UC: Uploading

WWE ROM: Soon!

WWE UC: Soon!

I'm really sorry for this, since there are more WWE users instead of Ita (approximately they are 2 times respect the Ita ones).

I can only say that more time means a more stable and fast rom (with more programs :))
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] smack_exTreme:
good job on the rom. been using it for 3 days now, and it seems it's bug free.

you could possibly consider adding opera mini 5.1 (since ver. 6 will now be coming to winmo/dropped support), and maybe ezinput 1.5 (much faster than 2.0/less ram). nitrogen would be nice too.

Hello.

It's possible to change the colors of the theme? I do not like the clock and the gray background ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] reaterm:
Hello, the clock is the default HTC Sense 2.1 Clock, you can find mods to change it's appearance. To change the default wallpaper go to: settings (the tab of manila/sense) and then click on background. The names may vary because I've translated them from Italian to English, without checking on the WWE rom.

Strange, have you tried to do a Task29 Format? However I think that a new version (the one that I'm using right now) could be ready for an online release within 4 days. If you have some time, can you please flash both WWE and ITA versions? So I can see if there are differences between them (In terms of flashing errors).

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Fabiett83:
Prima di flashare la tua rom (1.1 ITA) avevo dimenticato quanto veloce poteva essere il Diamond

l'accoppiata wm61 + s2.1 + ez2.0 è vincente contro la mia precedente Wm6.5 + s2.5 + ez2.1

L'unica cosa che ho perso è la capacità di chiamare dalla people tab

L'unica soluzione è stata installare un phone canvas, nel mio caso "etoy Black Rhodium Dialer (WWE/ITA)" perchè gli altri avevano il testo dei bottoni mancante

con questo phone canvas però sense và in crash quando premo "tutti" sulla soft-key sinistra nella people tab

Sono sicuro che qualcuno era riuscito a fare funzionare la people tab anche con il dialer di windows (forse diamond lover's?) ma non trovo più il fix

Puoi fare qualcosa a proposito nella prossima versione?

grazie, Fabio

English:

Before flashing your rom (1.1 ITA) I had forgotten how fast could be the Diamond

the combination wm61 + s2.1 + ez2.0 is winning against my previous WM6.5 + S2.5 + ez2.1

The only thing I lost is the ability to call from the people tab

The only solution was to install a phone canvas, in my case "etoy Black Rhodium Dialer (WWE / ITA)" because the others had the text of the buttons missing

But with this phone canvas sense crashes when I press "all" on the left soft-key in the people tab

I'm sure that someone had managed to use the people tab with the windows dialer (maybe diamond lover's?) but I can not more find the fix

You can do something about this in the next version?

thanks, Fabio
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] reaterm:
I'm searching for a solution, however you can temporarily disable the people tab and try this solution: install Diamond Tweak (you can find it in the ITA UC rar file in the first post), go to Start --> Settings --> System --> Diamond Tweak, in Diamond Tweak search "Contacts" and then tap on SIM Contacts, now tap on the option panel of SIM Contacts and select the option "Show (Default)".

I appreciate your efforts in cooking another rom for the diamond, BUT, actually i don't know wheter or not it makes sense cooking a WM6.1-Sense2.1 rom, two years after the excellent GEN.Y series.

Hi!

I install the WWE (Ver1.2), but some files\taskbar, is the same that I have previously. Why? Anyone can explain me, please?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] rod555:
again with 6.1 cooking because wm6.5 more resource for hardware diamond
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] reaterm:
@ Halvarez: Nowadays it's impossible to cook a rom without "copy" someone else, there are wm 6.5 with sense 2.5 roms, wm 6.1 with sense 2.1, wm 6.5 with sense 2.1 or wm 6.5 without an htc interface, etc... The only things that could change are some graphical aspects, programs installed and improvements. The rom is similiar to gen.y rom, but you can choose this one if you like the new taskbar, or if you want a bit more speed (44/46% ram on startup vs 50/55% of gen.y R5.5, I compressed everywhere I could), or simply because it contains all the programs that you need or you love to have an updated system. I think that people should be able to choose among various roms, I cooked a rom that, at least for me, doesn't require changes after the flash, and could be useful one day for example, if someone need a rom that contains the new Opera 11 (I repeat...is an example :D) Instead of opera 9.7, because this is an active project.

Bye :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tyrell07:
This rom is super fast and for all intents and purposes perfect. But for some reason my HTC clock seems to be frozen. The taskbar clock reads the right time, but the sense clock is four hours behind. Is there a fix for this?

Ciao ReaTerM, volevo farti sapere che oggi ho installato la versione 1.2 e dopo aver installato il rhodium dialer di etoy, il people tab funziona perfettamente, anche la softkey "Tutti"!

Probabilmente nella mia versione 1.1 qualcosa è andato storto in una delle varie installazioni di cab!

Non so cosa hai in pentola per la versione 1.3 ma io installo sempre il bg4all tabs

I do not know what you have in store for version 1.3 but I always install the bg4all tabs
