[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Because of hardware acceleration. It offloads graphical processing from the CPU and places it where it belongs: on the GPU.

Better multitasking via a kernel rewrite to make the system smoother.

Those are the two biggies for me.

And, unless the X2 gets an ICS kernel, you won't see those two things.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legender:
:confused: Worth the effort to update? Or I just need to root and get rid of the bloatware?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarrive:
Well, i discovered a few changes.

1. The lock screen has instructions written at the base of the screen: Swipe screen to unlock.

2. Unlocking the phone goes faster.

3. You have a new keyboard available, to use the phone with only one hand.
[Acer Iconia A500] waj1234:
Hi, just bought a cheap iconia a500 with a dent on one corner so obviously been dropped. It works fine however.

Only issue is one of the sensors seems faulty. I installed a custom rom and still same so not the rom at fault.

I only noticed it after installing words with friends. You can shake to shuffle tiles but mine just shuffles em continuously unless turned upside down. Not sure which sensor which sensor it is as rotate works fine.

I guess the drop caused it but is there a way of turning it off?
[Acer Iconia A500] soul_0830:
Don't know how much help this is; but try "sensor list" app to identify which sensor is not working correct.
[Acer Iconia A500] waj1234:
Thanks for the pointer but it does not really make it clear which one it is lol.

[Thunderbolt General] keving75:
Is there anything about 4.0 ICS that would help improve battery life?

I am running 4.0.3 on my Iconia and I love it!! Looking forward to seeing this on my TB and hopefully soon, my VZY Galaxy Note.

[Thunderbolt General] cub2000:
Would love to have ICS on my Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] afinita:
This is the first I've heard of that! Thanks for dropping that in =P my thunderbolt should tie me over till it comes out, especially if the ics update isn't too late =D
[Thunderbolt General] xxtheantxx:
thunderbolt will run with full potential on ics:D
[Thunderbolt General] willis936:
My moneys on the only ICS thunderbolt will be a rooted one. My money is also on the only successful roms being ports from the rezound.
[Thunderbolt General] l7777:
and we'll see it actually approved by verizon sometime in november. By that time, no one will care.

I'm locked till Feb so I'm hoping to see it for the tbolt before then! (Remember, I'm HOPING ;) )
[Thunderbolt General] Schedonnardus:
Even if it takes Verizon until December, there will undoubtedly be build leaks in the interim that the devs can work their magic on.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
I agree. Any leak will be huge to the development of ICS for the Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] ssojyeti2:
^^^this guy works for htc:D
[Thunderbolt General] googlemyahoo:
Stuck with the TB til Jan when my contract is up with Verizon... Would be nice to get the new OS to keep myself entertained, would also be nice to be able to use 4g outside of the hospital where I work. Hospital is the only place I can get a semi-steady 4g signal without it constantly dropping. 3g everywhere else, have to switch to 3g and reboot everytime I leave work just to have a data connection.

Needless to say, I'm done with Verizon in Jan :)
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Hate to say it but Verizon isn't lying when they say they have the largest 4g coverage. I doubt you will have better results with anyone else. At least your bill will be a lot less. I wish t mobile had better coverage where I live. I might would try them.
[Thunderbolt General] subwoofer81:
great news and keeps my phone alive for longer. Besides lacking HDMI out and being lighter, I can't see a reason to upgrade.
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
I see no reason to believe vzw will ever release ics for tbolt nor that development ever got further than the bamf leak.
[Thunderbolt General] zero26800:
It's starting to feel that way
[Thunderbolt General] Mesograt:
Uh, you do realize there are multiple ROMs now beyond the BAMF leak that utilize ICS right?

Pretty sure he meant officially, as in from HTC. That leak had an April (I believe) date.
[Thunderbolt General] zero26800:
If only they gave US a little update. Just something.
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
With a real ruu our developers could stomp every one of those bugs. I don't think there will even be another attempt to fix the bugs in aosp until an ruu or a leak. It IS a big deal.

You really should stop posting all these "issues" you have. Look at the amount of time your screen is on. Look at how frequent your phone is awake. I'm sure you know what's really wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
The issue is not with your Rom or kernel. The bad reception and high amount of awake time will kill any battery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phoenixdude24:
Got the note today, but my back door won't close due to 2 prongs being molded incorrectly...grr
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brokenartist:
I would call AT&T and tell them. See if they can next day day air you a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
This has got to be the worst one I've heard all day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
That sucks! :mad:

I would head up to the ATT store and get them to trade the back for one off their phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
I would too. I'd give them a call first and then drive to the nearest AT&T store to demand an exchange. I'm sure they've got their supply already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phoenixdude24:
I tried that but the store i went to had 0 notes, and said even if they had one they couldn't do a swap...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phoenixdude24:
So at&t says they can't ship me just a battery door and has to send me a replacement phone, but they won't ship out the replacement until I agree to pay the full price again (692$ after taxes) and then they'll refund me the first total in about 2 weeks after they've received the first phone back. I'm not paying 700$ for a new battery door, this is asinine...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] valleng:
at this point, manage with the broken one and order one for about 13$ online to save yourself the hassle of the payments and refunds. Thats absurd though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tomdg07:
not the best option but you could just get one of them flip cases that best buy is giving out with pre-orderes, i believe i read those are a back with the flip cover attached.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phoenixdude24:
I thought of that, but it seems ridiculous that I spent almost 700 bucks and I can't get a complete phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Just do that. Its normal procedure. Sorry to hear that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phoenixdude24:
I don't exactly have 700$ to play with until at&t decides to give it back...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] valleng:
Oh I hear you. But some times you just gotta deal. I wouldn't give them another 700 because they messed up either. Just convince yourself you want a battery cover thats a different color so that way you'd have to order it !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
I bought an Atrix last year that had a problem with the speaker and I went to the ATT store and they swapped it out right away. They won't just take care of you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] commakazee:
Is it the bottom tabs? They are bigger and are supposed to go in first. If not maybe try an x-acto knife to trim the tabs to the correct spec. Both of mine came in perfect. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phoenixdude24:
I tried that first but the 2 stores I went to didn't have any notes to swap. The first had no notes and the seconds were all preordered. I called Samsung and they were more helpful but can't do anything until its officially released on Sunday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
Call att warranty support, not sales

I think it is 1-801-1101

Or just manage until Sunday and go in person to an att store and swap it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
doesn't sound right. This is what I did when my Samsung Infuse failed.

1) in a pleasant manor...went straight to the at&t store and had them deal with it as a "warranty" issue. They actually called the support line and told them that yes, the phone had issues. I just had to get on the line at the AT&T store and agree to the legal jargon.

2) They sent me a new phone (no battery, etc.) with a return box and if they didn't get my broken one back within a certain amount of time (2 weeks??? can't remember) they THEN would charge me for a full phone.

Point is get the local AT&T store employees to support your cause. That shouldn't be a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mintu123:
Just wait till sunday and then go to store.they wil exchange it or give u new back plate.dont buy it from ebay ur nfc wont work.dont feel bad mine was left at front door and it was raining and the whole box was wet.luckly no water on phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
This phone doesnt have nfc..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mintu123:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Orange_furball:
not sure what hes talking about with the battery, but the nfc is on the back cover. there are two metal contacts on the top right area on the phone and two on the back cover.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] geoldr:
When I got my skyrocket, the next day I noticed it had one dead pixel. I came back next day and they exchanged it for a new one. Just wait two days I guess and if they still won't let you go to another store I guess.

Ah i guess int. and us vrs is more different than just processor.... o wells..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpitch2415:
Yep, the store i go to is very high volume and had plenty, the manager is close to me so he just did what was going to be done anyway
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
I guess you dont understand... its a breach of contractual agreement between at&t and samsung to do anything before the date. Did he give you a receipt?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpitch2415:
How is it a breach if you could have preordered in store and picked it up today?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpitch2415:
Either way, calling att and having them overnight another phone would have had the same result, it just would have caused more customer service issues if they did that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
I had the same problem. The tab on the left side when looking at the back of the phone, near the bottom, wouldn't snap into place so there was a bit of a gap and it creaked. When I went into the store to provision my data plan for LTE I asked if I could swap it out with one of the ones they had in stock. The woman brought one out and it was much better, but then the manager said they can't let any leave the store until Sunday. So I said what if we just swap the battery covers and she said sure. We did it and it's fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpitch2415:
Well whatever he did today got me my note and im thankful for that, kinda freaks me out that he could get in trouble though, he is a good guy just looking out after a loyal customer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Bataga:
Duct tape!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
I wont bother diving deep into sales and distribution protocols. Customer service, online, and stores are different sales channel and they arent the same thing. Preordering is to maximize distribution and since it releases sunday (no shipment possible) its an exception to the rule for preorderers. I am just saying that they cant sell or trade out devices for that purpose alone and have it documented before release date.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sdimezq8:
Mine has the same problem. White Note - one of the bottom 'pins' was bent and/or molded incorrectly. I am going to go into the store tomorrow.

Their phone support said I have to ship it back before they can send me a new one, and they will not just send me a back cover. :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] YellowGTO:
I've bought 2 ATT devices before release date. And this phone has already released online I'm sure its not that big of a deal.Tons of us get devices before official release dates
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
You walked in before release date and said "hey, i want the note" and they gave it to you? Or did it fall under one of the exceptions i wrote out?

Online and instore are two totally separate sales channel.

Big wooptie doo. Youre cool. You dont have to brag about it. Look at my post history. I was perhaps one of the first with the i777. Who cares. Im writing to give answer to those who asked WHY

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] corey_r:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] corey_r:
Can Someone answer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ngocdao:
It clicks in idk if it suppose to keep clicking
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
I just picked mine up yesterday and exactly the same thing here. I almost could have swore that the guy maybe broke the tabs when he first popped the back cover off. It drives me nuts because it's right where my fingers rest when I hold the phone in my left hand, I can feel the gap between the cover and the phone. :(

Upon closer inspection it does look like two of the tabs were just molded incorrectly, mine are the lowest two tabs on the left side (when you're looking from the back). Are those the same tabs as yours?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] YellowGTO:
My phond is 100% silent. No clicky sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hystyk:
That we've reached 4.0.4 and GTalk still has yet to incorporate the ability to copy text from the chat history seems silly to me, and is one of the few holes in the OS. Has there been any progress made among devs for a fix/mod or a work-around and I've just missed it?

srsly, thats funny! now we know how guarantee service works at asus :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vf171:
I noticed this when I was researching the warranty because of a defective digitizer. It's funny but they have effectively claimed that everything voids the warranty. Between the infamous customer induced damage and the string of circumstances, scenarios, and invasions in the clauses listed you have to leave the device in the original manufacturers packaging and store it in a temperature controlled room with no physical motion in order to get any damage covered under the warranty!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
I've read their warranty policy many times. I still don't see how they are being unreasonable. I've handled many (dozens) of TF's, and I can tell you that they are very durable. I've worked with dropped, banged up, frisbeed, etc. units and they've all been intact.

I live in the chicago area. Very harsh weather at times. Went down to like -10 a couple weeks ago. My building's heater must have gone haywire or something, because the temperature control set the place to like 75-80. We were all sweating like pigs inside and freezing to death outside. I took my TF in and out and still no temperature change induced damage.

My brother's young boy used his TF as a frisbee a couple months ago. The power button was misaligned, but that was it aside from a couple of scratches. All I did was opened it up and re-aligned the power button.

Since I've worked with so many TF's, I tend to wonder about reported cases of the screen just cracking on their own.

But anyway, as long as there's no physical damage, warranty should cover it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vf171:
I am beginning to believe you either work for ASUS or own a large amount of their stock. :-)

You keep defending them using the same logic but it's that very logic that doesn't make sense to me. If you've worked with so many of them and never seen a failure like this, even from abused units wouldn't it make sense then that when does fail and there are absolutley no signs of physical damage that would almost HAVE to mean it was a defect in the failed component and should be covered under warranty?

Anyway, it wasn't and now I dislike ASUS with a passion. Nothing can be done about that but it doesn't mean I won't help where I can. Just that ASUS will never have me as a repeat customer and I won't recommend them to anyone I don't hate! LOL.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
What I do has absolutely nothing to do with electronics. And I've no affiliation with Asus. How is it unreasonable to not cover physical damage? All companies don't cover physical damage. I won't stop you from hating Asus, but any company would deny warranty coverage for physical damage. Go ahead and ask others what they think about this warranty policy about things that just crack on their own.

Added by edit.

There are many ways to physically damage an item but leave no trace in the surrounding area. One way is to have it in a case and drop it. The outer casing is protected but the internal electronics and glass/digitizer will sustain damage due to shock. Another way is to have it lean against a pressure point.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vf171:
I never said it cracked on it's own. I'm a bit smarter than that. I know everything happens due to a cause. My guess is I had an improperly assembled screen, or the docking action stressed a weak component.

If the physical damage arises because of a defective component or defective design then yes, it should be covered. Period. End of story.

That is what a World Class company does, I know that for a fact. Some companies will even cover damage if it is questionable what caused it (this instance isn't though) just to avoid possibly losing a customer. ASUS obviously doesn't need to worry about that though.

I was joking about being affiliated with ASUS. Relax. And I never said I hate them...
