The lack of removable s.d. and having to use a micro sim card are not a deal breaker for me, however not being able to remove or swap the battery is, not a good move by manufacturers at all

What if sgs3 comes without sd slot .. would you buy it :eek: ?

[General Topics] corge:
I am not an expert, but can the absence of memory card be some (intentional) obstacle to unlocking / rooting the device?
[General Topics] sreza:
Not to my knowledge, most custom ROMs that I've flashed to my Atrix and my Transformer are flashed from the root of the internal memory, and rooting/unlocking was done from my pc via the USB connection.
[General Topics] mello9119:
For me my phone to phone transition is much easier with a sd card. My music, photos, videos, and backup are in there. Just remove it and put it to another phone. It will be a pain, perhaps a small one, if I have to copy these files every time and make sure their backed up. So, I I would want a phone with a sd card. Kinda of a deal breaker for me.
[General Topics] GraphicGoose:
Possibly not. This is one of the things I'm waiting to see if the S3 has when it's announced. I really hope it does have an SD card slot, easier to get data off if the phone dies.

sgs3 without sd slot :eek: i think its impossible..
[General Topics] lusily:
i can't undertand the phone without sd card.
[General Topics] justinhforsyth:
The external SD card just confuses the average consumer.

It would be like base desktop computer shipping with 2 hard drives. Power users may want another HDD, but the average consumer that just uses facebook, youtube, email, MS office, and itunes will not. Just having it there can cause serious confusion and damage the experience.

I don't really need an external SD. Biggest thing that takes up space is music, and I have the Google Music cloud for that. What else is taking up so much space for you guys? Pictures maybe? Are you putting videos (like TV shows) on your phone?
[General Topics] sreza:
That is horrible reasoning. A proper analogy would be a basic desktop computer shipping without CD/DVD drives nor USB ports for external storage.

Cloud services are well and good.. so long as you have an internet connection. Good luck listening to your music on a flight, or on a military base, or out of your service area, or the files you need are small enough to be downloaded in seconds, etc...

Most desktop computers do ship with 2 hard drives. C drive for storage and D drive for backups. What will you do on your backup-less device if something goes wrong? Waste time and money taking it in for repairs? Give me 2 min to re-flash my firmware from my external SD backup..... done.

This is XDA. We ARE the Power Users. If you're on this site, and you're not a Power User,

then you're doing it very very Wrong.

Manufacturers need to make phones have 16/32/64gb with a micro SD slot but no SD. That would be awesome, come one gs3 have SD slot and/or tmobile One X.
[General Topics] died4u525:
I needed to replace the 8GB microSD card that came in my EVO 3D before I ever rooted it due to needing more space. I got a 16GB class 4 card. Now with ROMs being 400mb+ and Nandroid backups being 700mb to over 1GB I'm looking at getting a 32GB class 6 microSD card. I probably don't need all of that space but 16GB isn't enough for me. I'm sick of having to delete things (songs, pics, and the Nandroid I did before my last one, etc) to make room to do a new Nandroid backup or whatever else I need room for.

I'm on Sprint so I'm very glad their version of the HTC One X, the EVO 4G LTE, has a microSD card slot in addition to 16GB of internal memory! That will most likely be my next phone. However, if it didn't have a microSD card slot, I wouldn't even consider getting it. I'm not happy about the non-replaceable battery but so far I've never bought a larger battery or even a spare one so I guess that'll just be one thing that doesn't change for me.

Also, I don't care for the idea of phones with internal memory ONLY that comes in 16, 32, and possibly 64GB because you can pretty much be guaranteed that we will end up being forced to pay a significant amount more than the average consumer who only needs, or thinks they need 16GB, or buys it because it's the more common model and they know nothing about microSD cards and storage space, etc. It's definitely easier for me financially, to buy my phone and months later buy a larger microSD card if I need more space. I just can't afford to spend and extra $50-100 or whatever it would be for more storage space.

[General Topics] luftrofl:
I get the feeling that you believe the average user is technically literate enough to use most of the benefits of external storage. For most people (i.e. stereotypical iPhone users), nothing you said is true. The phrase "out of touch" comes to mind.

For XDA members, your analogy makes sense. Most people, however, don't care nearly as much about putting files on their phones. Once they get their music on their phone, they're done - ROMs? Video files?? These things confuse most people.

Most people have access to "the cloud" for most of the day. If they don't, they don't care.

Most desktops ship with 2 HDs? Most people I know don't have desktops - they have laptops. Last I checked, most of those come with only one HD. Yes, when something goes wrong, most people will go waste their time and money to get it "fixed" - hence, the existence and success of Geek Squad, Apple's "geniuses" (lol, would not use that word to describe them), etc.

Don't mean to be offensive - you're just severely overestimating the technical ability of the "average user" ... or expecting manufacturers to actually care about people like XDA users.
[General Topics] kowloon12:
this! one thousand times this! from one who mess around custom roms and other unstable things a way to cold boot the phone is a must...

But I must say that a swappable memory card is sooo useful, for backup purposes, for instance, but also for a great number of tasks like exchanging files between phone and other..

You are trying to contribute and that is great.

Just be aware most people would rather have Gingerbread and there is a much simpler way to do this once you get gingerbread.

@eollie i was going to do a separate GB one if that's ok with you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
That would just clutter up the forums some more. We already have a lot of guides in the wiki, so it'd be better if you gave the link to the wiki to people when they ask how to root GB. If you would like you can also add your GB guide to the wiki since anyone can edit it.

Hello,

*GAMELOFT HAS RELEASED A FIX. LOG IN AND DOWNLOAD NEW APP AND NEW DATA OF 7MB MAX. THIS IS ONLY A FIX. NOT AN UPDATE.

At the moment there has been a huge problem with Gameloft "ACCIDENTLY" uploading a Christmas BETA version of the game. There are many bugs the main being what I said above and also extreme lag. Missing places on the map for some. Graphics have been washed out. (Colours are dreadful) and also items going missing or not showing in your inventory.

My suggestion to most DO NOT by runes or gold as there is also the bug of not receiving what you paid for. There is also a possibility you could damage or even lose your character due to this BETA release that was not supposed to be released as it is only half finished.

UPDATE:

Temporary fix: GAMELOFT HAVE RELEASED A TEMP FIX UNTIL THE OFFICIAL UPDATE

*BREAKING NEWS* FIX HAS BEEN RELEASED. LOG IN TO DOWNLOAD NEW APP AND THEN INSTALL AND DOWNLOAD 7MB MAX OF DATA

Also the Xperia™ Play now has fully working controls with the game.

Any questions feel free to ask me and I will assist in what I can.

Also add me.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aaronv20:
I too sent my Gtab 7.7 back to Negri for issues with Grey discoloration. I called today making sure they received my unit, they confirmed they got it Thursday. I asked about the supposed 10-12 days for evaluation and the rep thought with my issue they should have an answer next week.

On my RMA i requested a Exchange not repair. If they tell me turn around to get my exchange is gonna take 3-4 weeks. I will ask for just a refund, as i would suggest to you. I also suggest you call and see instead of them repairing your unit, maybe ask for an exchange. I hope they don't try and tell me they want to send it off and not exchange...I have a feeling they might try this.

I'll respond back on Monday, see what they tell me.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
That sounds like a very long turn around period, maybe you should get your money back and just wait for local stocks to arrive?

Also since you mentioned that you notice flicker, Im wondering whats causing this on OLEDs, one of the 7.7's I tried yesterday showed a very visible flicker when displaying the green screen test or the screen shot of the green screen test in the gallery.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kflanegan:
Thanks for the responses...

Hey guys,

Thanks for your input. I have replied back to the RMA request with my intention to exchange preferably or refund if that is not possible. I really do not want to wait a month to have the unit repaired when I have so many issues with the screen and then not be sure what kind of condition the tablet would be in when I get the replacement. I wish I could just deal with the issues but there are so many it seems on my screen I can't look past them when I think how much I paid for the 7.7 in the first place. Guess we shall see what happens now. ;)

Kyle
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kflanegan:
Update from Negri today is that they are working with me to get a replacement or refund instead of sending off to Samsung for repairs. They are certainly going out of their way to make sure the issue is solved. Props to the customer support department for excellent communication. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving any doubt in Negri's business practice as they have proved thus far too be very helpful in this unfortunate circumstance. I'm sending the tablet back to them Monday morning and will update with the status after I get the initial evaluation complete.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Alcibiade:
This is the usual problem with purchasing goods that are not officially distributed in your country yet... I tried n the past and I won't again

I love the 7.7 but will wait for it to be distributed in the US (And hopefully ICS will be around the corner at that time)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Negri Electronics:
Thank You

Thank you all for your comments.

The process does take time because we need to work with the manufacturer who manufactured the "defective" product. Their timeline is longer than ours, however we have direct contact with most. So returning to us and having us to the leg-work would be better than the customer going directly to the manufacture. Going directly with the manufacture can take 10-12 weeks as we have experienced in the past. We do our best to provide a quick turn around time for you - however we can only promise you what we are promised by the manufacturer.

Please understand that we do not manufacture these items. Many RMA's come through "demanding" replacements and fast service. We always do our best, but ask that you always treat us with respect (unrelated to the above posts) - and understand that issues such as these are not our fault, but we will do our best to make sure you are satisfied with the results.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] shinji21:
Negri has good customer service. But regarding the dead pixel issue, i have better experience with Expansys where they simply ship out a replacement once the defective one is received and confirmed. Then they will deal with the manufacturing for the faulty unit. Not to say one vendor is better than another in general, but to point out different vendor has different policy and way of handling these kind of things.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aaronv20:
I too have spoken with Negri, they are currently evaluating my Tablet. I appreciate they actually jumped on this thread to respond. I guess there's no way around the 6-12 day evaluation period, as I've called after 5 days (still being evaluated). There customer service is easy to work with, I just want them to understand I aint waiting for a repair, I want a exchange or refund.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kflanegan:
Thanks for the update Aaron! My tablet is in transit and scheduled for delivery on Monday. I'm hoping for a 1-2 week turn around. I'm having withdraws already... ;-) I too am hoping for a new exchange foremost and a refund otherwise so I can decide what to do next. Good luck with your return. Keep us updated...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aaronv20:
I got the results of my evaluation...

Hello,

Thank you for your patience in regards to your RMA. At this time the RMA evaluation has been completed on your unit. Our team has evaluated your unit extensively to see if they can find the display issue. After testing the unit our RMA team was unable to notice any grayish streaking on the display. They advised us that they tested the unit on "0" brightness and with the white background, both landscape and portrait mode and were not able to see any defect. They also advise us they had to create a customer background to ensure there was no defect. Again, no defect was noticed with the display. These are Super Amoled displays and will be noticeable to see any streaking on the display, as you stated on the lowest brightness levels. We did receive notification from our customer service representatives that you would like a refund on this unit, in this case we can proceed with a refund minus a 12% re-stoking fee based on the usage and time out. This will be the minimal re-stocking fee that can be applied towards this refund. We can also have this unit shipped back to you at no additional costs. Please review these details and contact us on how you would like to proceed. Thank you.

Well 12% is around $75.00 and since after shoping around i cant find anything to match this wonderful tablet, Im gonna keep it.

Looks like im gonna have to settle at never turning my brightness completely down.

good luck KFLAN!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kflanegan:
Thanks Aaron for your evaluation results, also sorry to hear that you won't be receiving a replacement unit for your issues. My 7.7 arrived this morning at their warehouse so I hope to hear something later this week. I was seriously debating sending mine back before I started the process because I loved everything else with the tablet other than the dead pixels I saw whenever I used it. Some things you just can't un-see and that was my problem. I hope you do enjoy your tablet and agree with your decision to keep it. $75 is a big hit only a few weeks after purchase on a premium product such as the 7.7. I hope that my dead pixels are as obvious to Negri as they were to me in my tests and usage.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
@aaronv20

IIRC, you did post an image on the screen feedbacks thread right and it was quite visible unless I've mistaken you from someone else. I cant believe they cant see it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aaronv20:
yup, I did post a screen image, on the screen issues thread. There main issue was that since the tab would probably not fall under the Samsung warranty then they would be able to deem it a manufacture issue. Its sucks but at least i dont have any other issues (dead pixels, etc). They did mention that i have a 1 year warranty so if it becomes worst then I could handle the issue then...Im really trying to look on the bright side, and put it out of mind, cause all it will do is frustrate the crap out of me..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
I dont understand why they cant see it, the very small grey streak on my Tablet was even visible to the technician who diagnosed my tab even though I didnt tell him about it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kflanegan:
Follow up on Negri RMA

I received word today that my RMA request for exchange has been approved and my replacement unit has been shipped out from Negri's warehouse this afternoon. My returned tablet arrived on Monday 2/27 and I followed up on Wed to make sure the tablet arrived as I had shipped and to receive an update on the RMA process. I worked with Sergio Mendez throughout the return, he was very helpful and excellent in communicating any updates from their end. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend Negri Electronics to anyone in the future and they have dealt with my problem with a sense of urgency and a very professional manner.

Many thanks to Sergio and the whole team at Customer Service for all their help! I am scheduled to receive my new unit next Thursday the 8th. I'll report back after I have set the new 7.7 up and report my findings on my replacement unit.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Sounds great that you've been given a replacement, we await for your findings and hopefully you can get a great screen. Keep us posted Im interested as well!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aaronv20:
Sooo, I couldnt make it a week. I cant stand staring at this discolored screen. I have re submitted some more photos of my defective screen to Sergio at Negri. I hope he and his superiors can see this is not a "common" problem but a manufacture defect. If there RMA evaluators cant see this issue, there are some serious issues with their eyesight! Negri Customer service has been great , however i cant just except this as a non issue. Negri customer service, feel free to comment...or better yet email me asap. Yall agree? (white out personal info in photos, sorry)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kflanegan:
Aaron,

I agree with you on the discoloration. I can certainly see it in your provided photos. Sergio worked very well with me on my exchange and when we spoke on the phone he seemed very helpful and like a nice guy. I hope your experience will serve a better outcome this go around and understand your frustration! I would also consider going the Samsung route if you run into the same issue going through with the second return. Who knows how their process runs but unfortunately I would guess the waiting period could be much longer seeing as how the 7.7 isn't sold except by Verizon in the US as of now, as far as they would be concerned....

Anyway, I've been anxiously awaiting my exchange by FedEx. It should arrive sometime tomorrow and then I'll be giving my new model the inspection to see if I faired better this time. The tracking info hadn't updated at all since the package left Phoenix, AZ on Friday and I was beginning to get worried it was lost in transit until magically it arrived in Ellenwood, GA just this morning. I guess it arrived there via bike messenger to account for the long delay in updates for so many days...haha. It always seems to drag the longest when you are really looking forward to receiving something though. ;-) Have a good day man, I'll cross my fingers for you.
