It's not that easy as a walk in the park. Their online signing system is far from flawless and their testing is rather brainless.

Ok, so here is my experience with this hype so far.

1. Made the app, submitted for review.

2. Denied because the app had a blank screen once you set it up and it waited for you to swipe or tap. I was a nice popup at the beginning saying that. Swipe or tap to use.

3. Removed the user interaction altogether and made it automatically work. The on-line scanning wouldn't work any more and it gave me all sorts of errors.

4. When the errors were gone, the apk couldn't get signed as the system says I signed before. Even though it wasn't a valid sign. When I checked the folder although I've gotten an error, the .bar file was there so i bit the bullet and submitted it.

5. Denied because of faulty signing. Product denied, they told me via email to create another application and submit.

6. Created a new product that couldn't accept signed bar files because of a package ID error. this was after I wasted two more versions because of the same "error on signing but you have to increase the version number anyway" bug

7. Tried adding releases to that new product. Package ID errors.

8. Tried adding the signed bar to the original product and it finally worked.

So, this is how I've reached version 1.3.1 :)
[Member-Found Deals] joeshmoe08:
Ya I had the same problem with signng and I had to increase the version number. The part that sucks is that we have to wait like 14 more days, and the traffic might have even gotten worse so more than 14 days maybe to get approved. :(

I thought that RIM is Canadian and I live in Canada would get me a playbook shipped faster... not the case, been 9 days since the shipping notification about 72 hours, still nothing here :(
[Member-Found Deals] Epic_VS:
From one account from Toronto, it was shipped from Mason, OH, which is 480 miles apart. He sent info on thurs the 16 and received it on the tues the 21. I am 250 miles from Mason, OH. You are 2,000 miles from Mason, OH in Edmonton. And they only offer ground shipping. That might be the reason.
[Member-Found Deals] morrislee:
Thanks for the shipping source!! So it is not shipping from Canada.... not very patriotic LOL

I realized why it was from mason. Touchstone organized the free playbook offer. Look at their twitter.

But I think they have regional bases in Europe, but not in NW canada. :(
[Member-Found Deals] nibras_reeza:
They have two bases in Canada.

DAMN. I gave an Australian address. It might take way longer now. >_<

But, the shipping options showed only ground. Their was no freight or air.

On a side note,

http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/25/is-your-android-app-on-blackberry-app-world-without-you-knowing/

Please do not submit other people's app without their permission even if it's open source. It's illegal to submit if it was closed source and/or commercial. It's legal to submit open source apps without author's permission but the author might want a Playbook too and he deserves some appreciation for his work. So, please ask permission.
[Member-Found Deals] morrislee:
Haha, I was just reading that article! I have already thought of this problem, I just did not think of the magnitude was this large!

I actually thought Handster had something to do with dolphin devs LOL

My Playbook is on its way. I submitted my solitaire Spider Solitaire HD - I have better solitaires, but they use NDK, so I could only convert this one. I get a lot of downloads, might consider supporting the platfom in the future.
[Member-Found Deals] Epic_VS:
But that doesn't change the situation for morrislee. They are all(Mason, OH; Ottawa; Waterloo) about the same distance from Edmonton.

And anyway, they might not ship from every office.
[Member-Found Deals] morrislee:
Poor me :'(
[Member-Found Deals] nibras_reeza:
But, isn't shipping within borders kind of faster than shipping outside borders?
[Member-Found Deals] morrislee:
You are right, going through the borders usually takes another few days at least. But I have been waiting since like the 15th!
[Member-Found Deals] nibras_reeza:
Give it at least two weeks man. =P

Normally, Int'l posting takes between 1-3 weeks and sometimes even 4 weeks. You should be worried only if it goes past 4 weeks.

Also, make sure it's not stuck in Canadian customs.
[Member-Found Deals] morrislee:
Something I bought on the day before on ebay from US got here today, so I am assuming maybe I will get it tomorrow? =D

How do i check if it is not stuck in Canadian Customs? no tracking ID >.<

Hey guys,

Here are the timeline of events as they occurred for me, if you're interested:

1.) Applied for Vendor account Feb. 5th

2.) Vendor account approved Feb. 7th

3.) App submitted Feb. 10th

4.) On the 14th I realized there was something wrong with my app, so it would likely not get approved. I tried uploading another release but I got the dreaded Package ID error. So I went and submitted an entirely new "product", with the added fix. I renamed the original app that I submitted on the 10th to "DISREGARD"

5.) On the morning of Feb. 27th, the app that I submitted on the 14th was approved.

6.) Later in the evening on Feb. 27th, I got the shipping info email!

Now here's hoping I won't have to wait too much longer to get the PlayBook in my hands, as I live in Toronto.
[Member-Found Deals] vinvam:
App submitted on the 13th (early morning) and still nothing regarding the app getting approved or anything regarding getting a Playbook. :(

Hopefully I'll hear something soon!
[Member-Found Deals] morrislee:
They are pretty backed up right now, have some patience my friend, I would still consider making another few app submissions before March 2nd, ones you think that will meet the requirement of course(refer to the first post for the terms and conditions)
[Member-Found Deals] shadowgolf:
The app I submitted on the 12th has just been approved so with luck you could hear in the next day or so.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Been browsing around a bit and noticed that some people want to completely revert back to stock, but they don't want to use ODIN, due to the fact it'll trigger the flash counter for warranty exchanges. It's a backup I made literally IMMEDIATELY after I flashed Clockwork recovery, so it's completely unrooted and untouched. Just wanting to ask around to see if it seems like something useful to others before I upload it. ;) Let me know! Could just flash the stock recovery and be at a completely out-of-the-box state.

Or possibly use it to make a stock flashable .zip?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
It wont get rid of root and cwm and super user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Actually I would certainly have a usefor this. I made some boneheaded decision and unistalled.a.couple.bloatware apps before I made my first nandroid.backup

This would be pretty useful when the ics ota comes around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
In order to get back to "out of box" condition for warranty/return purposes you need to reinstall 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 stock ROM, KERNEL, and 3e Recovery. The only time (based on what I've read on SR Forum), the custom binary flash counter gets tripped is when you use Odin to flash a Kernel (boot.img). So I think what you are proposing is to flash stock ROM/KERNEL using CWM, then use Odin to flash the stock 3e Recovery partition. Odin should not trip the flash counter if you only Odin flash "recovery.img" and not the "boot.img" (kernel). Correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
I was running SkyIce before, fully rooted, and after restoring this, I no longer have root priveledges and Superuser.apk isn't anywhere to be found.

And yes, restoring this to get a stock kernel and everything back, then just flash stock 3e with Odin to get the recovery partition back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daramue:
As many, many other users of the galaxy nexus have reported, I am having some miserable signal problems. Obviously, CDMA nexus here.

I wish the issue was only that the signal on my phone is bad, but unfortunately it extends beyond that: my entire signal is lost at times. Usually it's intermittent and will happen 4 or 5 times a day for only 30 seconds at most at a time, but sometime (Usually late at night), it will lose its signal for even an hour or two, and I'll watch the battery plummet from as high as 54% to 0 as it searches for a signal the whole time.

I realize this is nothing new for some, but I almost feel like the problem went away for the whole world except for me, due to the low volume of threads related to the issue at all on the boards here. At least, recent ones.

What are my options? I don't really like the idea of trading in my nexus for a refurbished phone. Is 4.03 supposed to solve this problem? I had also read that rooting and flashing radios doesn't make much of a difference. To those of you with the CDMA nexus, what have you done to alleviate this problem? Or are you waiting patiently for an update?

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaotix555:
If bought new then return as faulty. Easiest solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strongergravity:
The problem didn't go away. Most people had to make the decision to either live with it or trade it in on a RAZR or Rezound.

You could:

1. Trade it in for another GNex, on the "hopes" that yours is defective.

2. Trade it in for something else.

3. Live with it & wait it out on the hopes that someday Verizon will ship updated radios that will help. Current rumors say that could still be a couple of months away...

I am on the option 3 plan.

The leaked 4.0.3 radios have had limited & mixed results. For those who they do help, they don't seem to do a whole lot. There are a couple of people who had really good luck. Pretty much the same story for those of us who got Hardware version 10 phones - Haven't noticed any appreciable difference between it and the 9 I got on opening day.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daramue:
strongergravity, thank you, that was extremely helpful; I was curious to how my fellow Nexus bretheren were dealing with the issue.

If a potential update can fix the radio, then I too will stick with number 3 as you have. Call me a masochist, but this thing is just too nice to part with.

Thank you very much for the detailed response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk23169:
I just saw your thread right after I created the exact same one today! I was just wondering what you ended up doing. No one has answered definitively as to whether or not this is happening on all phones. If an exchange will fix it, I would gladly go tomorrow. I know most phones are having trouble with the 3g/4g handoff but that is not the same issue we are having. What do you think!?

Mike
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bowtieduece:
Same problems I've experienced. I'm on my second gnex, same issues.

Also I pulled speed tests next to other Verizon 4g phones (razor,rezound,TB) they all had significantly higher speeds than mine . I did multiple tests around our site, they had at least twice the speed as mine.

The razr pulled three times my speed most the time. 30+mb/s vs 10

The thunderbolt was around twice as fast downloads but uploads were even.

And the rezound was double on both uploads and downloads

I used the speed test app and speakeasy online.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bowtieduece:
Another comparison I did was turning on airplane mode on and off on all phones simultaneously. And switching 3g only on/off. To see which phones would latch on to 4g first.

Again the gnex was the slowest.

I really wish we received an update to fix this I love this phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] that1techguy:
I posted this earlier on another thread hoping it will get more views here.

So, I'm having the same exact problems but i did a log cat to see what might be culprit.

I have narrowed it down to this:

02-08 11:21:51.912 E/IMSFW (415): IIL: Disconnected from '7467' socket

still have no idea what can cause it yet.

also if you switch to 3g it seems it doesn't happen so maybe its a sim problem on verizons lte network end?

11:22:40.029 E/IMSFW (415): ImsSMSInterface: Registration failed, go for retrying if isim nounce present

that's what i found so if anyone can clarify and maybe see if it is really on Verizons end as this is the 4th phone that has had this problem

I will be going to verizon tomorrow to "try" and get a new 4g sim card and see if that helps somewhat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk23169:
I just went to the store and swapped out my 4g sim card... I dropped two calls on the way home from the store so I'm not sure it helped at all. Hopefully it didn't make it worse though!

I also checked my speeds and service against some other phones in the store and the Droid Razr destroyed my nexus and some other stock nexus that were there usually 12mpbs vs my 8 and 1mbps upload vs their 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bowtieduece:
Well I got my issues fixed today I was on tech support for an hour and he suggested to go to a store and get the sim card replaced. And that solved all my issues:)

Another problem I had was when using the headset for calling the person on the other line would here themselves. This has also gone away, I am so relieved I love this phone and did not want to abandone it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daramue:
Well, I did a bit of a test.

I kept my phone on 3g the whole day: Signal did not drop even for a single MOMENT in the entire day. Sure, there are times where it was bad, but my connection never entirely dropped. This leads me to believe that the problem lies with transitioning between 3g and 4g, or perhaps is just entirely related to 4g.

With the LTE network, I will have anywhere between 3% - 50% time with "no signal." It's extremely annoying and I'll always watch as my battery tanks extremely fast.

Maybe it's worth replacing the SIM card or at least, pulling it and putting it back in. Posting this here for others that are troubleshooting this same problem. I'll report back.

hi, im a new user to tab 8.9, and i noticed two strange things:

1. there is no lock screen ( the swipe to unlock thing), it only appears once after restart and then diseapears, is this thing happening to all of you?

2. there is no shut down question, you just push the button for 2 sec and in shuts down, is this thing happening to all of you?

im on P7310XEUKJ4.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandmanza:
Hello

In South Africa we are up to 2.3.4 as being our latest firmware update available via Kies. In the official roms I see other countries go up to 2.3.6.

Now from what I have seen I am going to go and assume that the different regions differences are for optimal workings for the modem, gps information, CSC and the like.

The firmware I am currently using was taken from the post by Infratech

PDA:XWKI4

PHONE: XXKI1

Date: 14/09/2011

Android 2.3.4

OJC (XFA, XFC, XFE, XFM, XFV) (South Africa) *I am using XFM

Now how do I tell what firmware that doesnt match say phone and/or PDA would work best, I've seen mention of "choosing the closest number" but thats vague to me. I would prefer my phone to be using firmware of a place that actually gets regular updates but not at the expense of phone performance/compatability.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Please note I'm not asking for blind "use this" answers but trying to actually get an understanding so that I know how it works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
The only way you can tell is by using or having recommends from other local users for the modem/baseband .

CSC is country specific but is only a list of local network settings and they can be entered manually .

Thats it Kernels are interchangeable as is firmware .

Only check is that a firmware supports the language you require .

If you want only official updates via Kies then you stick with Kies and flash no other firmware .

Samsung release firmware its sent to the network /phone providers they decide if and when or not to update .

Generally the stock European firmware is more than likely to be available for later versions .

Flash say UK stock firmware 2.3.6 with a change of modem if you find one better in SA and likewise a change of CSC to your country .

Alright, after trying lots of roms i've decided to stick with stock rom. Yeah it's best for me. And Yesterday I've tryed to run PC companion, and pressed repair phone. Okay so far, and after i've ticked the box about backup and restore data, it says: pc companion unable to start phone software update components So, today I've reinstalled the PCC , drivers installed = Okay... Here we go again, once i've ticked the box, same ****, it wont let me repair the phone. I tryed everything: reboot the phone, reboot the PC. And result is same as above. So any suggestions? And also, Does SEUS unroots the phone? If yes, somebody could you provide me a link?

-Peace.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
If you are trying to flash back to Stock from a working or partially working custom ROM PCC will tell you at a 99.9% chance that there's no update available hence refuse the "Repair" - or throw some other highly confusing error message.

To flash back to Stock you need to go through FlashTool.

- Flash back to the Stock Kernel in case you're also running a custom Kernel!

- Flash back to Stock ROM.

You can also root the ROM through Flashtool or use SuperOneClick - your call.

Here's a Guide I once wrote up on how to flash back to Stock / Unbrick (a soft brick) - make sure you stop at the xRecovery step (unless you want xRecovery installed for whatever backup matters).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sentrax123:
Thanks, but have you got an answer to my other question? Does SEUS unroots the phone when flashes the stock rom?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
I think the Guide answers the question as there's a part dealing with "Root the Droid"

To especially point it out ... YES, flashing back to Stock will UNROOT the phone (hence why you have to root anew).
