[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spakka:
Ok so, the asus guy said I couldn't get a replacement etc. and gave me the number for consumer direct so I could confirm this.

So I called, and it turns out they are legally obliged to offer a full refund or replacement because they had the opportunity to repair, didn't, and also because they took over 31 days from giving RMA number to item arriving back to me.

I was also advised to give them a short deadline to comply with this or I should contact the county courts to start legal proceedings.

Nice. Well done asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poulsen8r:
OH MY GOD. I think this may be the first time government legislation has done anything good for anyone. Know any lawyers? You should make sure you get one to draft an official letter quoting the specific law that states they must give you a replacement (I'm guessing you'll be taking that refund and buying something else though) otherwise they will probably just keep dicking you around. The problems generally aren't the fault of the company or the companies policy, but the fault lower level lazy staff who are just ignorant retards. Oh well, Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spakka:
Well it's sad because the transformer is awesome and I'd love to have a working one... but with this customer service... They have already lost a few customers because of it..

Also it's silly they tried to deceive me about the law... It's the sale of goods act and ALL retailers and consumer companies will know about it - it's the main consumer law not some obscure bylaw.

Actually I do know lawyers and they thought it was complete rubbish and that any judge would find in my favour almost immediately. However it shouldn't come to that.

The retailer knows the law, thinks Asus is being ridiculous and terribad (from the info I've given them) and will be confirming what I told them was true, and replacing for me. In the end it is ultimately the retailer's responsibility... Luckily they know their stuff, will actually talk to me on the phone (the Asus escalation support guy won't call me only send useless copy paste emails).

Either way Asus are awful and I'd definitely get refund+something else... If only there was something with the functionality of the transformer around at the moment.

Oh fantastic it has come back with a repaired screen! So nice and responsive and no significant lightbleed!

Shame the bezel (although replaced) is not attached properly (I can see through the mini-hdmi and headphone ports from the back) and has a very obvious, annoyingly placed dent in it (although small-ish).

Well done Asus, 2 RMAs and still not properly completed.

Really sick of Asus' shoddy RMA service... Reported broken on 15th July - now 25th August and it still has problems.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Paul:
RMA again :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardy81:
Strange. My RMA experience was flawless. Reported audio jack broken on Thursday, Monday DHL picked it up, Thursday they returned it with a replaced jack. Took a week, perfect service.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flight777:
I've already got three RMAs and up for my fourth :mad: The Dutch support is excellent however the Czech repair facility is the worst.

17 May they picked up my Transformer for the first time because of light bleed, dead pixel, not flush screen and not balanced speakers. After one week I got it back, nothing was fixed and it returned with a scratch on the bezel. Furthermore, before it was a TW sku afterward I got it back with WW sku (still same device, same serial etc.). This probably messed up my FOTA which I cannot find/receive until this day. I have to install all updates manually.

Around 1st of June they picked it up for a second RMA. After three weeks (waiting for spare parts) I got it back. Bezel was replaced and screen also. However, speakers still not fixed and the new screen got the same level or even a bit more light bleed. FOTA problem still there too. I did not RMAed it immediately because I wanted to take it on a holiday of three weeks.

1st of August, third RMA. After again waiting two weeks for spare parts it was returned 2,5 weeks later. Screen is perfect however a bit more sunken into the frame. Speakers and FOTA still not fixed. Furthermore, the tablet has now more creaking than ever, probably because bad reassembly.

So now I'm up for my fourth RMA to get those issues fixed. I already asked for a replacement unit which they say they cant give (they advised me to return it to the store in Taiwan where a bought it, if I want a new one which will cost me loads of shipping and custom taxes :mad:). I already asked if they can send it to another repair facility. Negative they can't because the Czech facility is the only one (according to them) in Europe for the Transformer. The only thing they want to do, is to give me a fourth RMA. The rep also forwarded the messed up SKU problem to Taiwan HQ because he didn't know what to do about it.

So I'm doubting if I should send it again for RMA to probably be again not entirely fixed and lose it for another 3 weeks. Really Asus, before I thought Asus was good for its customers. But it really makes me think twice next time if I'll buy Asus or not because of this ****ty repair service.

What should I do? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spakka:
Well, if you had bought it in the EU the retailer HAS to give you a refund after 3 repairs.

Because you bought it in TW you probably aren't covered by EU/local laws so I have no idea.

You could try taking them to court but you're meant to do that to the retailer not manufacturer as the contract of sale was with them not those who supplied the goods.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spakka:
Ok so update:

The device has finally been written off! Still haven't got a new one though... But apparently it's being arranged (by retailer of course).

I've been through pre-exams --> uni summer holidays --> starting new semester on Monday with no transformer!

Nearly 2 months for them to just accept they ruined it with failed repairs.

...And I was just preparing documents to take the retailer to county court :(

Either way... Asus: Never again.

Hi folks,

There's been a new cool app in Android Market - PackSMS. It allows to send and receive compressed SMS messages.

It hasn't been tested in the CDMA networks so far, so I'd like to kindly ask you for help verifying if it does or does not work there.

Could anyone install free PackSMS Trial from Android Market and test if it works?

Hi,

It's hard for me to even find a title that makes sense for this thread since I'm not a native English speaker. I struggled also on where to post this one, so i hope I did it right.

I've been searching for a better quality headset replacement for my Trophy since the HTC ones not only fall from one of my ears but the sound quality and isolation leaves a lot to be desired. That said, they at least have the functionality of controlling the volume and answer-end a call.

So actually I have 2 questions:

1) The HTC headset allows to answer/end a call plus volume control. Some Samsung focus users reported that they can skip tracks by double or triple pressing the answer button. Now I wonder if these functionalities are Hardware or OS dependant. Is there any documentation on what WP7 is capable of handling?

2) Does anyone know of a higher quality alternative to HTC's headset (wired), with at least the same functionality, but

proved

to work on HTC WP7 devices? (I've seen recommendations on Android HTCs but I rather not assume they work in WP7 devices, too much money to be wrong ;))

Thanks in advice
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewkeith5:
The best thing for you to do, would be to get a set of Bluetooth (A2DP) headphones. These will also include the microphone so you can listen to music, control the music player (skip track, play/pause, etc) and take calls.

With anything else except the HTC headset, I don't think you can do anything but listen to music.

EDIT: Another advantage of Bluetooth headset is universal compatibility- they'll work with just about any phone/computer with bluetooth
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imotz:

For reference the headset I use is the Samsung SBH-650, it lets you use your own headphones too which is excellent for me as I wear glasses so the annoying neck-or-headband style that BT headphones normally are doesn't work for me
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octaedro7:
Thank you all for your replies.

I'm particularly interested in SE MW600 first and the Samsung SBH-650 as an alternative, because they allow you to use whatever headphones you like best. The first seems to have killer features, especially the display. The second seems to be cheaper, which is always good :).

EDIT: Actually I've found the SE to be cheaper than the Samsung...

There are not two separate radios to install. If you downloaded MR3, it will work if you're on a GB Rom. If you're on a froyo Rom then you need a froyo radio.

Also check to make sure your battery door is completely attached. Your antennas are in the door and it must be attached.

[Wildfire General] calyxim:
Zillion of them! :D

I think I tried every single wildfire rom. Now it's time for a review.

2 types of roms right? AOSP and Sense based.

AOSP first: (2.3)

They all have small bugs. Like bluetooth transfer, wifi dropping after 30 minutes, battery drain, sync stuck etc etc... Biggest common problem with aosp roms is web performance. Browsers are so slooooww... I just don't surf at all. It takes at least 5 seconds to open google home page. You get the idea I suppose.

Yeah opera mini is fast but web pages look like they are from 1998 with opera.

Sense now; (2.2)

They all are the same. Stock and Joker roms are the most stable ones. Wildpuzzle, dk, rempuzzle etc.. They do have small bugs here and there.

Sense means a little bit slower phone with some perks. Speed wise they all are the same. If you overclock stock rom you'll get the best sense rom. You'll never have a pleasent angrybirds experience with a sense based rom. Maybe first 5 levels...

Which rom do "I" use;

I use ruymanca hellfire aosp gingerbread rom.

Why?

1- Because my phone acts like a phone with ruymanca's rom. When someone calls me my phone starts ringing straightaway. Other roms have 3-ish seconds delay which makes me miss shed loads of calls.

At times I catch the call before otherside gets bored, conversation goes like this.

- I'm sorry, are you available?

- Why are you sorry? Why wouldn't I be available?

- It took you so long to answer.

- (ops he thinks I was ****ting) No no it's fine. (damn phone!)

2- I mainly use my phone for checking gmail and chatting on gtalk with mates. ruymanca does this flawlessly.

I also use gps navigation a lot. Which is no problem with ruymanca's rom.

I said "They all have small bugs". What bugs does ruymanca have?

-no bluetooth .apk transfer.

-reboot the phone. facebook contacts sync is gone.

-Wifi sometimes drop when I leave the phone idle for a long time.

Which ROM?

If you surf the internet a lot. Definitely a sense rom. Joker or Stock I would suggest.

If you are a facebook/twitter person. Go for stock rom.

If you use your phone for business, ruymanca all the way.

If you don't care about browser performance but want a fast rom. it is anonimo's rom.

If you want best of both worlds it is CM7. I think 98 nightly was the most stable one. I might be wrong here. Just check the thread and read reviews.
[Wildfire General] Nhs666:
Ive used sense roms and Cm7 with Opera Mobile and its no

slowdown on Cm7, never noticed that surfing was faster on sense roms at all.

Wired....

Same for the telephone lag when a call comes in. Im using the ram optimization script made by Juwe11, Cpumin 528Mhz, Compcache off and when i call my wildfire from my home-phone, its ringing and screen is on one second after i hear the first ringing of the calling phone.Thats faster than you can get your phone out of your pocket..........
[Wildfire General] george1234567890:
This should help a lot of people! Thanks! :)
[Wildfire General] calyxim:
Sorry i didnt mention ring lag on cm7. Yes it is less with cm7. Like you said around 1 second when overclocked to 528 minimum.

Ruymanca is a different story. 245min and zero second lag. Hence longer battery life. Ruymanca is my choice. It isnt the best rom for sure.

The problem is there is no best rom. It is all about compromises.

Hi there!

I'm about to root mi i9100 but I've my doubts.

I'm a little anarchic in my writing, so I'm going to underline my questions to make it easier to answer me.

I have read that if I root my system It won't update by itself.

That includes only the android version, or also the touchwiz UI and the apps from the market?

Even If a get into settings, info and I do click on "search for new updates" ?

I've also read that if I root my system I'm going to lost my contacts, messages...

Is it true?

Do I lost something more?

Can I do some kind of back up?

----------------------------

On the other hand,

what can I do rooting my system? (that I can't before)

I've read there are some roms, or mods, I don't know it very well that improve your battery, speed and/or efficiency.

How do I know wich it's better?

Do you recommend me some?

Is there a new version of android or touchwiz UI?

Is there even a page where I can see if they have released a new version?

Finally, If I'm not convinced at all with my rooting can I restore the original one?

Will these restore my capacity of self updating?

Thanks in advance

Rooting is a simple process.

►As long as you are on Stock ROM you will be able to get updates officially via Kies, root/non root doesn't matter.

►You will NOT lose anything in rooting process.

►There is a modified version of Touch Wiz 4.5, it is somewhere on XDA, search for it.

►You can put back Stock Kernel at any time, if you need to claim warranty for some reason.

► I recommend Chainfire rooting process, as it is simple. Read his thread carefully,
