[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsafety:
My new Tab 10.1 came to me without the ability to download updates. I contacted Samsung via an online chat and was sent a UPS label so I could return the unit for repair. They fixed it and sent it back to me in about ten days.

The device worked great for about a week until it developed a new problem. After being on for about five seconds, the Tab would go to sleep. It worked fine but the only way I could keep the screen lit was to tap it every couple seconds.

I contacted Samsung again via chat. This time my advisor was sub-par. He eventually determined that the unit needed to be sent in again and told me that I would receive another UPS label by email within 24 hours. That never happened.

The next day, I contacted Samsung again via chat and was told that they would request the UPS label again and I should have it within 24 hours. Again, I never received the return label.

Frustrated, I called Samsung and this time got an agent who actually wanted to help. Within minutes, I had my return label. My concern, however was that with Christmas a little more than a week away, my chances of getting my unit repaired and returned in time for a scheduled trip were very slim. On a whim, I asked this agent if there was any possibility of getting an advance exchange. To my great surprise he said that it might be possible.

I was transferred to another department and spoke to a charming young lady who told me that if I would allow her to put a credit card hold in the amount of the cost of the device, they would send a replacement out today. The hold would be taken off my card as long as I returned the defective unit within 30 days.

Wow! I did not expect that. In addition to getting great service, I was told that my replacement unit would be new, not a refurb. I am a very happy camper.

If anyone from Samsung ends up reading this post, please pass on my thanks to Deseree W in the Executive Customer Relations department. She made my day in a very good way.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] raqball:
I've always had good dealings with Samsung... It is kind of a pain to send the device in as opposed to the Apple way of just going to a store but it works and its good to know they will send out a new unit if needed by placing a hold on a credit card...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Has anyone found any Wifi Tethering app for Ice Cream Sandwich that works with the Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
On the Verizon version? Um i'd assume check the normal apps: Wireless Tether, Barnacle Tether, PDAnet, etc. to see if they're updated to ICS. Root and install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Verizon or GSM version.

Has anyone confirmed any that are working?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phazerorg:
Wifi hotspot has been built into Android since Froyo, and still there on ICS. I haven't specifically tried it with my Galaxy Nexus, but it always worked in the past...

Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Well yes but I was referring to any 3rd party apps specifically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The GSM version has built-in tethering and hotspot support, with no extra fees or apps. It works perfectly.

Barnacle Tether should be working for ICS from what I'm hearing.

The Verizon version will have it blocked and require you to pay. Just like on other VZW phones, you'll either have to flash a custom ROM or root and remove the tracking software then run your own 3rd party app to tether.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Wifi Tether used to work on my Thunderbolt without requiring a tethering plan. Not on the Droid Bionic though because I read that Droid devices need special profiles. I wonder if anyone got it working on ICS though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The Thunderbolt's tethering was unlocked because it was a promotion for new Thunderbolt owners that tethering would be unlocked for a specific amount of time (surely a marketing ploy to get people used to LTE and tethering speeds to upsell them later).

Give it time, and people will find the workarounds. There are surely specific VZW apps that monitor tethering and have you pay for it. You'll have to find those and disable/remove them before trying to tether with a 3rd party app. Verizon will not let you tether easily. They'll get you for the $$ if they can detect it.

As far as apps go though, they do work. Like I said before the trouble is getting your phone set up so that its no longer reporting to VZW about the activity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
I've been tethering on my Thunderbolt (after the free tethering period ended) and the Droid Bionic (after that little db mod someone discovered) with no fees or extra charges for months now so I'm not too worried in that sense. My main concern is just finding an app that actually confirmed works in ICS. But thank you for the information.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Barnacle Tether does work on ICS. And like I said, tread lightly with the Galaxy Nexus till people know precisely what apps VZW has installed to track tethering... ICS is new territory. VZW's apps on 2.2/2.3 have been solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
I see, thanks for advise. Duly noted. :)

Guess I'll just have to play around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinNjoose:
It does?

[/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Tried different versions of Wifi Tether and Barnacle Wifi Tether. Neither are working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BKinney:
Same, neither work, tried another tethering app, log says that the WEP encryption was causing it. When I disable WEP it appears to work on the app, but does my computer doesn't see the hotspot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Must be a VZW Galaxy Nexus issue (or just GN issue?). Barnacle tether works 100% on my G2 running ICS. All indications are that its working for devices running ICS so that's why I recommended it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortzz:
I'm assuming once CM9 is available the native tethering will be fully usable just like the other Nexii were?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maxiv:
What would the advantage of a 3rd party tethering app vs the stock app be!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well for Verizon users, the stock tethering app is blocked because they want you to pay for the $20 feature on your plan. So either a custom ROM or root + 3rd party app is the only option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimejhn:
Yep, same here. Hoping someone gets an app working, or I'll just have to wait for a custom rom. Was planning to stick with the stock rom for a while, but not if I lose tethering
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maxiv:
Whaaat? Holy crap, that's just not right!

So I guess that doesn't matter for me at all since I live in Germany and will be in London for the next three months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You got it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Renegade360:
Just got the pdanet for tablet to work. So blue tooth tether is possible with Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
So it's a locked down carrier-phone with carrier-software added, not a true Nexus phone. This is getting ridiculous.

IMO if it's this bad and this different, it should be separated out to a forum of it's own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidchicken03:
can you explain this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvel7:
tl:dr - I need to flash my phone back to stock for warranty. Phone keeps rebooting so that's why I'm sending it in. I don't know much about this topic. Someone else flashed my phone. Assume I'm an idiot if you want to help me :)

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

Wall:

A co-worker flashed my phone with CM7 a few months ago so that I could record phone calls. My phone has been shutting down and getting stuck on reboot for a long time but lately it has gotten to the point where the phone is impossible to use.

So I need to send it in for repair.

The problem is that I don't know how to get back to stock. It says S-ON when I go into the recovery thing. Not sure if that is relevant. I tried to install the 2.3 rom from the HTC Dev site but that just stays on the HTC logo with the black background. After a while the installer times out and only then does it jump to the boot thing.

I tried reading many of the other threads on this topic but I honestly couldn't understand much of it. I would ask the guy that installed CM7 on my phone in the first place but he doesn't work at the company anymore and has moved away.

I am a bit scared of trying to flash it in the first place since the phone reboots randomly...

Based on the other threads I've been reading most people on here have a lot of knowledge about this topic but I don't :/ So just assume I'm an idiot if you decide to try and help me out :)

Sorry for my english, not my native language.

Somebody should probably mention he needs to flash the downgrader from alpharev.nl
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
Yeah I have a Desire running Cm7 with CM7r2 AlphaRev HBOOT and I would like to restore it back to stock before sending it to Envirofone / Mazuma etc.

I have tried running a couple of RUU's but they just seem to hang?

What does the bravo_downgrade.img file do?

Cheers

Stew
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andQlimax:
ur cm7r2 hboot have a downgrade protection, so the ruu CAN'T overwrite it, and the rom doesn't fit in ur desire

the downgrader hboot is an hboot that CAN be overwrite by an ruu, so your phone will be s-on again, and the ruu will fit ur desire

so...flash downgrader from alpharev, then run ur ruu..thats it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
Cool, thanks for that.

Is there anyway I can make sure that the RUU I have has a stock hboot in it?

Any specific ones that would be better to download rather than others?

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

I keep getting "ERROR [120]: LOW MAIN BATTERY POWER", even though I have 92% battery.

I have flashed the Downgrader RUU.

I have tried flashing in Android, Fastboot & HBOOT - same error.

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Do you flash RUU via PC or via PB99IMG.zip method? RUU always includes stock Hboot.
[Motorola Droid X2] vr4marine:
Is there any benefit to completely replacing the stock browser (I use Miren) with one from the market? I have Root Explorer so I know that's how I'll do it...but should I? Same question for the launcher (I use GoLauncher Ex)
[Motorola Droid X2] awsamb:
Im not familiar with Miren, but i like the stock browser. Its simple. Also if Miren runs in the backround you would only need ONE browser.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
the benefit to.making things a system app(and getting rid of stock) is that as a system app it wont be wiped off phone when u do a data wipe.

.also, if it uses less ram than the "stock" u will have less ram.being used.

but free ram isn't important due to how Android os operates ....
[Motorola Droid X2] pacman377:
The benefit to me is the different options that they have. Adw ex, dolphin, player pro, and root browser have all been converted to system apps and Ive deleated the stock apps. Launcher 2, browser, music, and file manager.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:

Could some kind soul walk me through the process, real quick like?

Rest assured I would greatly appreciate it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rynek:
While we're on this topic...

While we're on this topic of the GoLauncher - how do you get the GoLauncher to launch, from the nook home, by pressing the hardware 'N' button twice?

I've seen that on a few videos, and wasn't sure how to do that.

edit.... nevermind found it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theninjacowboy:
I think most of the “new goLauncher theme” stuff is really just bonus options for wallpaper, etc. I found most of these things to be options in settings.

Rynek, you have to have the Homecatcher app, I was pointed to it by others XDA'rs. It is found on droid market. Works well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
Pull up the menu at the Go Launcher home screen and select the "Themes" option. It will pull up a window that has thumbnails of all your installed themes and a button to get more from the market. Just select what you want and go.

Install HomeCatcher ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356206 ).

Worked like a charm.

[Networking] eraldo:
I have 3g or 3.5g permanently enabled because three is a 3g network and when you click use only 2g network you lose signal and.connection completely, i know they use the 2g signal off vodaphone is there anyway to disable 3g to save battery because 3g is a huge battery drain without losing all connection? Android phone.
[Networking] rowanparker:
I'm really quite late on this one I know so apologises for that!

Three only have a 3G network. They currently share Orange's 2G signal as a backup. Recently, they started turning off that 2G backup in areas they thought their own 3G was good enough, so, if you disable 3G and you're in one of those areas then you will get no signal at all. Maybe Three weren't the best network to choose if you only wanted to use 2G!
[Networking] eraldo:
I didn't say i only wanted to use 3g i said i wanted a way to save some battery by turning it off when i don't need it. 3G uses battery like leaving wifi permanently enabled.

oh, well.. as there is no official WebOS-app for DropBox out by now there seems to be no choice but to consider changing to either another service, or OS.. guess right-clicking is not supported.. at least that's what I've read in a 2009er thread here https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=448

so, I wanted dropbox because it doesn't limit filesize for free accounts.

anyone know of something else that ll work?

Hey guys,

I looked everywhere on this site and the internet for the answer, haven't found anything related.

I created a live wall paper from one of my renderings, using a imgae sequence, I am using pngs, not sure if that is an issue, I haven't seen anywhere saying not to.

I have roughly 205 images, and the apk builds with no errors and installs on the emulator, but when going to put it on the screen it is just black.

I am not sure if it is because I used pngs or if I am missing something dumb??

Any ideas??

Is there a rubberized battery cover? I just tried to install a full coverage Zagg but it wont stick to the textured back. I need to add some grip to this thing as i almost launch it every time i want to open the keyboard. This phone is slick! Especially coming from HTC phones.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] switchfruit:
Yeah I iknow where you're coming from, I'd appreciate a new cover too. It'd make the phone easier to open too.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sp00nix:
I got the zagg to adhere to the back. It takes some time and patience to get it on there.

-Use minimal spray.

-Use extra bits of the zagg material as tape to hold the corners down.

-Let it sit over night on top of a radiator or some where warm.

-CAREFULLY remove the bits of zagg.

-Use your thumb to gently, but firmly rub the zagg into the texture.

-Avoid sitting the phone down on glass and other smooth surfaces it can stick to.

I can now open it with out sliding out of my hands :)

For most of the time there was a fog that developed in the air gaps under the zagg, they eventually went away.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] clockwork58:
I know the feeling, especially here in the cdn winter, where my hands are cold and dry. This phone becomes slippery.

I'm almost thinking we could do a back cover, MacGyver style.

Maybe order a spare back cover if possible or take the current one and coat the back of it with rubberized spray. There's the infomercial for Flex Spray [seems dodgy] or hit your local auto parts store for bed liner such as this one.

http://www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-BAA2010-Bed-Armor-Aerosol/dp/B004SJ16QG

I would guess to take off the back, tape around the small flat edge that goes around the back cover and spray!

That's how I would tackle it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sp00nix:
I have thought of that, but at the time i could not find a new battery cover, and did not want to try this on the only one i had.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mikebola:
The stuff on the TV is the same stuff as natural spray rubber, only twice the price for a half-size bottle. With some practice, you can get it to spread thinly and evenly, but something like undercoating or bed liner will apply thick and lumpy usually...
