Mine also says 6PM, except on Monday. That is to be expected, since the final delivery will likely be done not by FedEx but by a local partner, I think the 6PM is simply the furthest an average local company would still do deliveries.

What was your Stockholm tracking notes time?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Then you are correct, they are being delivered on different trucks now while they were on the same one before. This is utterly strange though, I wonder if that is the reason why it will arrive in Estonia on Monday instead of late today or tomorrow. It would have been faster with a boat from Finland (Amazon usually does that with courier services like UPS, but they don't use FedEx).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schriss:
Mine got sent from Clove yesterday, picked up by Fedex at 2PM. Today it's delivered 1 hour ago. Waiting for me at home.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manook:
but only because ive ordered another one from three with all you can eat data.

Cracking phone. Came from GS2 as well and I prefer the GN.

Its a bit of a mixed bag. The camera / GPU isnt as good but the overall feel and speed of the thing more than makes up for it.

Note on the battery that it initially sucked. But after bedding in for a couple of days it was soooo much better. On par if not better than stock GS2.

I signed up for the panther 31 play from orange initially and didnt realise just how much data I would use. I found myself using the phone ALOT more than my gs2 just to browse the net (previously on t-mobile with 3gb data).

Never had the volume bug either but then i tend to leave mine on silent and just use vibrate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Thanks for this. Really needed to hear something positive as I've been trying to decide if to cancel my order or not. It's good to see people still enjoying the phone.

Gonna keep my order intact, keep my fingers crossed and pray for the best. Hope it all works out.

return

Just a heads up phones 4 u dont do refunds they only exchange if the product is faulty the why i took mine back was because the lack of flash on there website in the phone specs it sez it has flash so thats the only way u can return the phone good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
actually Phones4u are

required by law

to give you a refund if your handset is defective, as per the Sale of Goods Act 1979

regardless of what policy they have in store, your statutory rights preclude any store policy.

edit: To make it clear - Phones4u are breaking UK trading law by refusing to give customers a refund if their item is defective
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dman2266:
defective

yh thats if the phones defective they do a like for like swap but hes returning it because he has found a better deal if he states that they wont expect its in the policy they do exchange within 28 days. no 14 day returns look at your contract or phones 4 u policy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jadaress1:
Hi, does that still stand even if the phone is on upgrade, can you cancel the upgrade if phone is faulty or does that only apply If you buy it without contract?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
if the original poster bought the phone online, under the Distance Selling Regulations he is entitled to change his mind within 7 days from the day after he received it. He may be subject to a re-stocking charge, and would have to pay for the postage to send the item back, but he is entitled to get a refund if it was bought online or over the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
You get a 14 day cooling off period usually on contracts. Unless you bought it on Three, they say that as soon as the phone is turned on then you cant cancel etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I am unsure of the rights here...I'm pretty sure that it would not apply if you got the handset via an upgrade on your existing contract.

This is why I ditched contract phones years ago - they really do not benefit the customer at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dman2266:
right

i think you right on the online or over the phone but if you buy in store thats what they state i have a friend who works for them. The reason they took mine back and cancled the contract was because the lack of falsh the ad states it but i dont work so they g=had to take it back because i was mis sold

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

same as phones 4 u if brought in store also mine was an upgrade
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
They are also required by law to accept refunds if the phone was sold on the internet, over the phone, etc. as long as the refund is requested within 7 days (i believe)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dman2266:
taken from there website

Pay Monthly Phones, Broadband Dongles and SIM Only Contracts

Phones4u does not operate a 14 day return period on Pay Monthly Contracts. Contract handsets, however, may be returned within 14 days of the date of sale if the network coverage is considered to be poor at the customers contractual address and no alternative network agreement can be established. Cancellation is subject to network provider approval.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
If you bought a SIM-free handset or a PAYG handset, you are entitled to a full refund under the Sale of Goods Act. If you had the handset in conjunction with a contract, then that's where your statutory rights start to disintegrate. You may be entitled to a replacement handset, or a different handset of the equivalent value. But a faulty handset would not get you out of the contract.

already mentioned that here mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dman2266:
but the why to get out of the contract with a faulty handset is to say about it not having flash thats how i got out of mine!! good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rossimac:
This is all true. O2 are the only company that will offer a refund within the first 14 days (that I've found) even if you just change your mind and have been using the phone. You only pay for the minutes, texts and data you've used in that period.

Pretty awesome if you ask me! I'm keeping my eye on this volume issue as it's happening quite often here, may have to replace the screen on the old HD2 and go back to the ole faithful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hydrasworld:
i'll be citing the sale of goods act to them tomorrow if they don't immediately accept there is a fault and offer me a refund.

http://whatconsumer.co.uk/how-do-you-measure-quality/

:D

I'll let you know how I get on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jadaress1:
Would that only apply if bought over the internet as it only says about the flash on their website, can I still state what's on the website even though I bought in store?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
yes you can - the website is still classed as an advertisement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jadaress1:
Oh ok thanks, phones4u are a nightmare when you need to return something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
just make sure you understand your statutory rights (i would link you to the Which Magazine article that lays it out better, but their site doesn't seem to be working properly right now) and make it clear to them that their advertisement on their website stated that the phone had Flash on it, and it doesn't - as a consequence, you were mis-sold the item under the advertised impression that the phone was Flash capable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dman2266:
let us know

yeh lets us know how you get on i brought mine in store and i took it back with the flash problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbysixkiller:
all i can say is good luck taking anything back to p4u - bunch of nobends, i had a massive problem with a BB years back, but getting my money back was almost impossible!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
I made the bad mistake of buying the sim free nexus from phones4u. I know my consumer rights and the law but they won't take any of it. All they say is no refunds.

I know under consumer law I am not legally required to be a refund for unwanted items (which I'm sure is what their head office is trying to implement) but for a faulty product they legally have to give me a refund. Idiots who work there don't know the difference and just keep saying "oh you can try calling head office but they will tell you the same thing"

they said i can try calling head office, but since i can only get to the shop after their head office has closed i asked them, what if head office say i can have a refund but if i get here after they close (at 5pm) how can you verify with them? their answer was : they won't give you a refund.

all this was after being told by their CS on the phone I can go into any phones4u store to troubleshoot and try return it. So i go into Wimbledon store and they basically said no go back to oxford street store, since it was after 5pm and head office was closed so i couldn't get anyone to confirm that they shouldn't be sending me halfway across london and i wanted my money back i went to the oxford street store. only to be given their usual BS. All they would do was exchange the phone, and surprise surprise it has the same issue!

but in all honestly i think they will need authorisation from head office for a refund anyway, since even for an exchange they had to call some other line and get authorisation.

basically don't even bother trying to go and get a refund unless their head office is open as its very likely you're going to have to speak to someone there at least. If they start ranting on about "no refunds" BS and reject the consumer law that you tell them, get them to call head office and get someone on the phone.

I will be calling their head office today and see what they will do, hopefully they will be more helpful than the idiots in their stores otherwise this is going to court.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
If your local trading standards are in a helpful mood they may give the store a call for you. What they're doing is clearly wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
just had online chat with phones4u, luckily their CS team is more aware of trading standards and said they will give me refund. although they say i have to call the technical team first to get a fault code and then go into a store with that to get a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arun1uk:
If you want to return your phone, I'd do it very quickly, as Adobe have just confirmed Flash for ICS!!!

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43152/flash-for-android-4-end-2011-no-flash-for-android-5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Call trading standards while you are in the shop. They are breaking the law. Simple.

Yes, it will need to be done before the release of Flash for ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Just spoke to technical support.

The "fix" for it is to force WCDMA only mode via phone.

Speechless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwj:
I bought the handset sim free from P4U and took it back today purely on the basis of the volume bug. I told them you cant spend £500 on a phone and not be able to make phone calls on it. They agreed and gave me a full refund straight away.

Also, when the salesman phoned through for authorisation, they seemed to know all about the fault, in some technical detail too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saquib:
Why before the release of Flash, not sure what that has got to do with returning the handset? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
yeah based on the chat i had with the CS rep i think they know all about it now. so lucky you managed to get someone who was helpful! will def be going back to my local store today to get my money back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
my response was pertinent to the people in this thread who want to return the handset based on the false advertising claim by Phones4U that the handset was Flash capable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hydrasworld:
I managed to get, after a long wait, a full refund for my Galaxy Nexus that i bought SIM Free.

I went in, said it's got a fault and would like to return it for a refund.

Anyone else wanting a refund should remember that you have to:

a) smile alot.

b) explain the problem to every member of staff.

c) wait while they try and remember the refund process.

d) insist that you want a refund because it's faulty.

e) be polite.

f) smile more.

Only if smiling and being polite doesn't work then start quoting from the sales of goods act, i didn't need to go that far.

Of note, although I explained the problem to them many times they didn't actually try to recreate the problem in the shop.

Worked for me and now i'm back to my SGS2.

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electric0ant:
spoke to customer service at their head office which was really helpful, authorised my refund, gave me reference number, and when i explained what happened at my local store last night they even called the store gave them all details of the case and told them to expect later today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gifton1:
With regards to those who purchased a GN on contract from Phones4U:

Im my receipt confirmation from Phones 4 U, there is a section at the bottom that states:

"You have the right to cancel this contract and return goods within 7 days of receipt. Please click here for our Help Section on the website for full terms & conditions."

So it looks like you have 7 days to cancel contracts that you get through them no matter what Network you sign up with (unless of course the small print n the emails they send are different for different networks).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manook:
My phone was with orange 24month contract. Rang phones 4 u explained I needed a contract with unlimited data (which they dont offer) as I was unaware just how much data the nexus would use. They authorised a return straight away.

Told me to destroy the old sim and contract (not destroyed the contract just in case there is a problem).

They are sending a pre-paid envelope in the post to return it.

Was very simple.. SO FAR (said whilst touching a wooden desk).

Was cancelled within 3 days of receipt of phone so wasnt a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Why does that effect anŷthing...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manook:
Just to finalise this thread for those concerned about returning anything to Phones 4 U.

Today I got £59 refunded to my bank account after sending the contract phone back 2 days ago. Service was fine and very quick.

Decided to buy a nexus outright and use GiffGaff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
because Phones4U advertised that the phone was capable of handling Flash, when that is incorrect (at least for the moment). This constitutes as false advertising, since there was no small print to clarify the Flash support as being forthcoming in a subsequent update from Adobe. For those that find the lack of Flash support unacceptable, and are unwilling to wait for the update (which still has yet to be given a solid release date), they are entitled to a full refund since the phone was advertised with features that it isn't capable of.

Hi all, I've just flashed CM7 to my Optimus Black and I have a problem. My PC doesn't see my phone. I didn't try to install LG Drivers again cause i'm afraid it'll crash my phone where CM7 is flashed.

Can anyone help me?

I also don't have Android Market app, do you haven't go it too?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
What do you mean by "My PC doesn't see my phone", it doesn't connected with LG PC Suite? That's because CM7 doesn't included PC Suite.

"I also don't have Android Market app, do you haven't go it too?", you must install gapps-universal after flashing CM, you can download here.

-CMIIW-
[LG Optimus Black] voonkz:
I meant that when i plug my ob to the computer and i want to use mass storage (when android pic is orange) my pc doesn't see it so i cant send any music or movies by the cable. And thanks for these gapps, i have Android market now :)
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Well I think it's related with your driver, or perhaps your cable?

You're welcome :)

I think its related with driver because when i was on stock rom everything was working fine, i only have this problem on CM

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] UL7RA:
So, I ordered unlock codes on multiple sites and all of them didnt work, and requested refund. I saw something interesting: 2 of them sent me the same codes, and I think that if 2 of them sent me the same code means that - that is the right code. It anyway dosent work and I think because I have CM7 installed. What should I do? First I will try with another ROM, and if that dosent work, I will do a KDZ flash (I know this from the LG Optimus One forums), returning to basic.

Will KDZ help?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] wisefreakz:
Does not matter which rom you are using... the unlock code will work if its correct. I have my MS unlock using CM7...

The point is those sites that offers unlock codes uses an algorithm based on your phone model + country + network.

If it didnt work for is because they dont have all info to compose 100% the algorithm like your operator and they try some standard validation that sometime will not work.

PS: try to be nice on your topics so ppl may wanna help.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] UL7RA:
So, what should I do then?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Baz Scotland:
Contact your operator and ask for your unlock code, or take your handset to a shop with mobile phone unlocking.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] UL7RA:
I will make a new thread with all the story, theres a new -stupid- problem.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mikeszf:
I was using CM6 when I unlocked the phone, and as wisefreakz said, the code is obtained by country + network, the guy who give me the unlock code told me that it was more expensive than other (cheaper?) phones because of it...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akshaybz:
Just spent a few hours on modifying few files..

I have modified:

framework.jar

android.policy.jar

framework-res.apk

(All for the system/framework folder :D )

So, I wanna create a flashable zip file that can be flashed from CWM recovery...

Following this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732957

Looking at the fact that it's nearly 1AM for me presently and I'm sleepy, it's a bit hard to understand...

If anyone can tell me the contents of updater-script file...it'll be helpful :)

Also, some help there with the update-binary too..

Can I use the files created by UOT kitchen?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GazaIan:
The updater-script is mainly text, since your 3 files are in the system folder, you're going to want to mount system, extract package, and then unmount system.

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25", "/system");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

unmount("/system");

The bolded text can vary. That goes in the updater script. the updater-script should be accompanied by update-binary, and should be placed in [projectname]/META-INF/com/google/android.

now, inside your [projectname] folder, you should have /system/framework/[your three files go here].

Now build that, sign it (CWM will throw an Error 7 for some odd reason if it's not signed and is not a full ROM), and flash it and see how that goes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akshaybz:
Thank you for the answer :)

Another thing, can you please those values which you have given in bold?

Also, what to put in the updater-binary file?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] GazaIan:
I wouldn't know, those values vary from phone to phone. What may work on mine may not work with yours. Also you don't have to modify the updater-binary, just place it there.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbleeto:
Hello,

I've been looking around and am seriously thinking of doing a hardmod on my atrix similar to this one:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/84328-droid-heat-sink-mod.html

I know I have to remove the EMC shielding from the Elpida chip in order to add a heatsink. The guy in the article mentions you can kill your phone, due to the fragility of the SMD passive conductors.

I'm not an electronics expert. I don't understand which of the surface components are so fragile and why so.

What I would like to know, from someone who is an expert on the subject, is what are the risks involved in removing the RF shielding from IC's and what should I watch out for (ie. not to damage them)?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I've seen people get flammed because "OC'ing is not necessary", "it's overkill" etc. I understand and appreciate those opinions, but they are beyond the subject. Please refrain from posting them. This is something I want to do. and if someone out there could help me out, so I can do this as safely as possible for my device, I'd really appreciate it :) Cheers
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobileweasel:
I believe the smd components are ceramic and I know for fact that their pads are very thin. It would take very little effort to wreck one of those or even rip the pad of the motherboard.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newbleeto:
So I should watch out for those little capacitors next to the chip and not be worried about the chip itself? Thanks mate
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobileweasel:
Me personally, I would worry about all of it ! You are correct. I believe that the chip itself would be the most resilient. I used to work in the telecom industry and it was always the surface mount resistors and capacitors that were the most easily damaged. If you pull this off, you will certainly get the biggest brass balls award. Most of us are still under warranty and wouldn't even think of this !

Yesterday I upgraded to CM7.1 from CM7.0.3

Everything was working great, until I tried re-installing the drivers for the Call Recorder app (found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048195 )

Later, the camera wasn't working, and the phone wouldn't mount to my computer!

So I restored the backup I had made that morning after flashing the upgraded CM and I end up with a fresh wipe! I thought the backup would basically be a saved state of the rom. Or did I do something wrong? I was using CWM 3.0.2.4 I believe, not version 5
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dream Reality Syndrome:
So, in case anyone was wondering, I did lightly search the subject, and I don't believe my problem is as severe as the other cases I've found. Some people are simply unable to restore any backups, while I was somewhat still able to.

What I hope to do is to be able to retrieve the app data from this final backup. Possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
You didn't happen to backup this app/data with Titanium did you? That would be the simplest method to restore a particular application and data...
