Had a similar incident with a happy ending

I had the same incident 3 months ago. I dropped the transformer with dock in my office parking lot. It fell flat. When I pushed the power button it would not turn on. As it was an accidental drop I was sure ASUS warranty would not cover it. Still sent it to ASUS and was happy it was repaired under warranty.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Low023:
Thank you so much for this warning, I was just about to try this with mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blickmanic:
Stop flaming the OP ffs, he was just telling us what happens if dropped on concrete and how sturdy it is.. Jog on if you have nothing useful to say.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
I dropped mine once in uni flew 2 meters across the room and was thankfully ok

I hve never dropped it again since or let it leave my sight so to speak
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Squire-au:
Thanks for all the good wishes. I rang the service centre (Dingotech, cool name) and a very sympathetic young lady told me all I need to do to get it RMA'd. I told her what had happened, she didn't think it would be done under warranty. Ahh well. Anyways, I couriered it out to them, and they'll ring me with the quote sometime. NOT looking forward to it. So I'm forced to play with my old Advent Vega, with its cruddy viewing angles and bluetooth dropouts. I knew there was a reason I didn't sell it.

I'll keep you posted.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Yeah, they can hardly be expected to cover it. Your choices are either to buy insurance with accidental damage cover yourself, or just tell yourself that accidents happen, and when they happen it just means it's time for an upgrade.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ^Fs:
I heard ASUS charges US$75 for the labor & bezel.

The same happened to my transformer. I dropped it on the corner and ruined the bezel.

However, I was able to hammer it out with a small ball peen hammer after carefully removing the bezel (which was a more difficult task than banging out the bends & dents).

It's very thin and flexible so I was just as easy to fix as it was to break.

After I put the bezel back on the only noticeable damage left were some scuffs on the metal from the fall. I just sanded them down a bit to smooth them out and it's good as new to me.

The entire process took about 15 minutes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] patriotaus:
I once had my transformer in my bag (docked) with a steel water bottle. It was raining, and i went to jump over something, slipped, and landed on a pointy edge.

The aluminium water bottle was mangled but my transformer was fine (though i later realised that at full brightness, on a black screen there is pressure damage.)

I suppose it saved my back though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] laslow:
Only dropped mine on to carpet (given, it was from four feet up), but no damage.

On the other hand, I just finished a screen/digitizer replacement for a friends iPad 2 - he had it under his kids stroller and it fell, only about two feet, on to asphalt when he went to load the stroller in to his car. The drop mangled the corner where it impacted and totalled the screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blestsol:
I hold onto mine like it's my child. I will never ever drop this... And now I'll be more careful because I probably jinxed myself.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ls3mach:
I dropped my onto concrete from about 6'. It damaged the bezel something fierce, but I have bent it back into shape. It could use some super glue to hold it into place a bit better, but I was pleasantly surprised that it is still 100% functional. My EVO 3D hasn't received nearly this type of abuse and is hardly usable.

I do agree though, don't drop it on pavement.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 2011CorvetteZR1:
I have a bezel from a broken transformer that I will sell for a modest price but I have no paypal or no way to process a credit card. I suppose you might be able to use western union? You pay for shipping too and I'll send it out. I live in Durham, North Carolina and you can figure out the best shipping method and the cost. I am sure the box wont weigh more than a pound. Please make me an offer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ls3mach:
I am interested in it. I can mail you a check. I straightened mine out for the most part, but it is still a bit jank. How much?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
I broke the volume button on my iPad 2 after a drop. Unlike Asus, who even gets you to pay for shipping, Apple replaced my device free.

People baulk at how expensive apple products are, but I feel like a very satisfied user (I got my iPad free, so I'm not a customer, per se), and sending my transformer back to Asus for faulty speakers and paying to get it there, makes me regret buying the Asus brand.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Squire-au:
Got the quote back today. $30 for the bezel, $100 for the labour, and $25 to courier it back to me. And 10% GST on top of all that, sum total $156.50. So I won't be dropping it again. I probably could have replaced the bezel myself, but that would have killed the warranty. I'll consider it a lesson learned. At least the lady I talked to on the phone was friendly, efficient and sweet, so it's not a total loss.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gee one:
Good luck- I hope it comes back better than new. I am also a member of the "dropped my TF on concrete" club although I was pretty lucky and only got off with a few scratches to the bezel. I think it landed squarely so the impact was spread out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SparkyRih:
I've dropped mone once, I've made it eat soupe, and I stood on it with one food :P

When it fell, it just fell fomr my bed onto the ground, while it was docked, but nothing happened with it...

Another time I spilled soupe over it while I used it as a plate XD

Another time I stood on it in a restaurent, it was underneath my chair, I walked away from the table, but whe nI came bac kI forgot that it was there, so I stood on it with one food...

But thee three incidence didn't ddamage the TF at all... the volume button is alittle bit crappy now, but that's just from general use I gues... The rest of the tablet has some very minor scratches to the side, from when I accedently hit it into a table or something... but nothing big...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Squire-au:
It gets worse...

I got the TF101 back from repair, it seemed fine. Played some video, listened to some music, browsed the net..

The next night I picked it up from its spot, and it wouldn't turn on. Nothing but a couple of huge blocks on the screen, and what looked like a broken screen on the centre right. Argh! After investigating, I worked out it didn't happen at home... so I guess something happened in transit, or the repair stressed the screen, or whatever. Nothing I or my family did.

So it's back for repair, with another RMA. Sure enough, the screen is broken. The first quote I got was more than a new one is worth. The quote has been reduced, but $200 is more than I'm willing to pay for what I believe is a warranty repair. Asus and Dingotech are working out what will happen. It's possible I may have to pay something, which aggravates me, but I miss my baby, and if I have to pay to get it back, I suppose I will. As long as it's not TOO much.

Now I use my Dreambook (Advent Vega clone) that the Transformer was supposed to replace. Low viewing angles, choppy bluetooth, haven't been able to get HC running on it, doesn't recognise NTFS - but at least the screen isn't broken.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stryke504:
Sorry for the bad luck. I too have dropped mine in the same way you did. Forgot to zip the bag it was in and it fell right out from about 5 feet in the air. Fell on concrete on the corner. Everything is fine except the bezel kind of popped off in that corner and the back piece has a crack in it. But like I said it works just fine. I have tried to contact Asus multiple times to get a quote and to see if they covered mishandling of the unit but all they did was give me an RMA number. I refused to send it because of the issues you have/had. I can replace myself if I can find a broken Transformer. I'd rather pay for parts then have to pay the $200+ in labor, shipping, and parts from Asus.

If anyone has a broken transformer pm me and maybe we can work something out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Squire-au:
And it gets better!

After numerous conversations and emails to and fro, Asus have decided to give me 'the benefit of the doubt' and cover the repair costs under warranty. The young lady handling it for me at their service agent was really good, I get the feeling that she put in a few extra miles for me on this one. Now I'm waiting for it to arrive back, should be here by Friday. Just in time for me to go camping this weekend and use it for watching videos when the sky isn't clear or I'm confined to the tent due to the weather. Which is pretty much why I bought it in the first place. I've read scathing reviews about Asus customer service, but in my case, they've been great. They've got themselves a return customer... and if anyone asks me, they'll be recommended.

Didn't know where to post this as the other sections are named "gen8" only.

I've tried to search this out but haven't found anything..

So with stock roms (.79 and .80) and preinstalled flash player i have some troubs playing flash videos from videoweed etc.

With player 11 videos start then freeze and then the browser (tried with stock browser, dolphin tab and hd, opera and maxthon) just forcecloses itself.

With custom stock (rooted etc from surdu) same behaviour.

So I downgraded flashplayer to version 10.3,with that i have no more FCs but videoplaying (ie videoweed) is really choppy and laggy (desktop mode).

Anyone with the same probs? Any solutions? Thanks and sorry if I wronged the section.

I have to reinstall flash 11 constantly through ghostexplorer, and many times opera closes itself. For me it's not rooted firmware fault. Flash is a horror on pc with powerful CPUs, maybe with our "simple cpu" is better to uninstall flash completely. ciao :-)

[Omnia 7 General] Shrimper:
Hi everyone

I bought a Samsung Omnia 7 on T-Mobile UK last December and unlocked/debranded using the very helpful instructions here:

(can't post a link but search "wccftech debrand omnia 7")

I now use it on T-Mobile USA and it works great, except that there's no 3G. I've done a lot of reading on these and other forums and it's clear that it does not support the right frequencies to use 3G in the US. However, I have also seen mentions that the actual radio chip inside the phone can support these frequencies, it's just a matter of flashing the right ROM to unlock them. I'm really not an expert though and I've trawled the web looking for answers, then I came across this forum.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction, or at least, tell me it can't be done.

Thanks in advance
[Omnia 7 General] hatuna:
Since you've debranded it warranty isn't the issue, so I would try either flashing new stock Rom or flashing with custom Rom.

You can easily find tutorials in windows phone 7 hacking and developing section:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606

Maybe there's some easier solution, since similar issues affected some developer/interlop unlocked phones upon their unlocking.

You can try Samsung Network Profile app form Samsung marketplace first. Maybe that will be enough.

I suppose you have filled apn sections for your provider in cellular data section? If not you should do so according to your provider.

I hope sth of this will help.

You could try to flash a specific radio FW from Focus AT&T(only the radio). Look inside the Focus sub-forums, I used to flash radios from Omnia7 on my Focus and there were no hiccups.

Boot into CWM and eject your sdcard and reinsert it. (physically). Try then.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Boomstick88:
That worked. Wow, so simple.

Thank you so much! I doubt I'll be rooting this again. I am no good with android.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
Don't give up so easily. Android is fairly simple. While I will always agree, root isn't for everyone, it does make many many simple things that much simpler.

Root, simply stated, is gaining SuperUser access. Do you need this? Depends on what you want to do. Basically it give you the option to change any and every file you want to. Be it for good or bad. Changing the wrong file can result in a paperweight. Now, having said that, root on the NT is almost necessary. B&N has a fabulous device here that they have so drastically underused, it is absurd.

I am currently running a the very early alpha CM7 and I wouldn't change back to stock if they paid me. I run the risks of something possibly going drastically wrong and having a brick, but I agree to that. It is worth it to me.
[LG Optimus 3D] dfrimmel:
At first I must say this is my first and only Android phone. Since I stuck with V21b software which is as I found out impossible to root is there any way for me to restore/downgrade previous V21a software version that was on this phone before (as much as I can find out V21a is "rootable" on O3D). I guess I need something like stock ROM and not any custom.

Glad to hear you worked everything out!

There is a option its called swap method look in development thread but i wont risk it because almost all the apps will crash with this method so dont take the chance... btw you can swap alot of apps by default to sdcard in aplications settings why you want to to install apps on sd card if you got 1gb of internal memory for apps on board? anyway have a look if you want but i will strongly reccomend that u shouldnt make any tweaks on your phone afterall the phone has already have this tweaks on standard factory settings!

Hello,

i haven't rooted pohone, everything is on the stock firmware, but yesterday my SGS2 lost signal. Now is there still no service icon, imei is blank, baseband unknown.

Stock firmware version are:

pda: I9100xxki4

phone: unknown (was I9100xxki4)

csc: I9100XAKI4

I found, it is efs directory problem, but i have not root, so i can't access it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you haven't messed with/flashed anything on your phone & this is happening with stock firmware, take it back to have it repaired/replaced.

If you haven't been mucking around with it, you shouldn't have any dramas with warranty service. If you do go down the path of rooting the phone/trying to fix it yourself, you may well bork it so badly you need to return it anyway & you may end up with a lesser or no chance of getting warranty service.

If it were me, I wouldn't risk it.
