Best buy is currently offering the nexus s for $0.00 with contract extension for either a new or existing customer.

But there's a catch, if you proceed choosing the $10 data plan you may get an error(buying online).

why? because they want to convince you to choose a more expensive plan, because you will have to call a representative to resolve the "error".(MAYBE they will give in to sell you it with the cheaper data plan)

of course this may not be a problem unless you choose the budget plans(im not a heavy data user so it makes no sense to pay for something i wont use)

I can't speak for Sprint or T-Mobile but I am 100% sure AT&T will not allow $10 media net plan for Nexus. That said, I wouldn't sign a contract for a phone that is a year old, there are better options available.

Got a weird problem overnight, where it appears my tf is bricked.

Went to turn it on and no go. Tried the power + vol down combo to no avail.

Oddly enough, when I plug the charger in, after a little I hear a "bing"

Any ideas before I send back to ASUS? I'd prefer to get stock back on before Rma-ing, or fix the issue entirely.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
Have you tried holding down the power button for about 15 seconds to see of it'll reboot?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwhitehead:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
Damn! Idk then. Sounds like it may be dead
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
That "bing" probably your camera coming on. Could be a dead screen.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevhuff:
do you have a dock? and have you tried communicating between cpu and your TF
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwhitehead:
Yep, dock didn't help except to confirm the charger is working. I'll try the pc tonight when I get back home.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevhuff:
is it a "bing" or a "click" when you try and turn it on. it does sound like a dead screen thats why i asked about the dock maybe its playing the bing sound like the dock is connected keep us updated always willing to help
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwhitehead:
It's definitely a bing, and I get it both with and without the dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludetn93:
Hey I am getting this click too, the screen is not dead, I am stuck in clockwork and it won't read my sdcard, I hope I am not bricked. If anyone has any ideas, let me know please.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwhitehead:
Haven't tried hdmi out yet, but I plug it to the pc and the pc sees the storage, so that tells me it's not bricked. Have an ASUS RMA # and will be sending it in as it is still under warranty.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwhitehead:
And we do the hokey pokey...

So I seem to have resurrected my TF101, here's how I did it:

1. Plug tf into computer

2. shut-down the tf by holding the power button for ~12 seconds

3. power-on the tf (still no screen display)

4. unplug and drain to <50% battery (just lucky guess)

5. Plug back in to computer

6. Try to turn off as it #2, instead get lock screen

7. Do happy happy joy joy dance

8. flash back to stock rooted ICS (US)

9. Take a break from rom flashing

I'm having some boot delay in my Galaxy Ace. It runs 2.3.4 gingerbread and takes 1 minute to boot up ! When i bought it, it was very fast indeed, arround 20~40 seconds to boot.

My boot starts with the Samsung words, then an android animation comes, it ends, then something writed Google in the screen and bellow it has the loading circle, the same when you're waiting a video on YouTube.

I can do something to speed it up ?

Hi All

I am so sad about this

Today one of my Arabian friends was trying to flash my custom rom

He had an error in the middle of Rc1 file

I wasn't online so he was on his own on this

He took out the battery and then his Wave is dead !!!

WTH would Rc1 file flashing kill the phone ?!!!!

does it appear that there is any damaged hardware ??

any ideas how to resolve this ???

Thanks in Advance

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] simonwil:
Did his battery go flat during the flash?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
No

Also when he connects the phone to the charger it gets hot after a while

[Bada Software and Hacking General] tapan15in:
What happened bro ?? :(
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
My first Wave 1...

Untouched, unmodified, never flashed... :D

If I press off...

After again press on. Battery shows empty...

Also I know that removing battery could empty battery...

This happens also to me with different handsets... since 2006 I know this.

For example SXG75, EF81 and few others... other manufacturer...

So be 100 % sure that battery is full...

RC1 alone is harmlos...

Only if maybe writing process are interrupt... and maybe wrong section erased...

Check battery of your friends handset.

Best Regards
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adfree:
Taken from Service Manual...

As I am very paranoid. :D

I NEVER remove battery and put it back if USB cable is attached with PC/Notebook...

Maybe this could also reason for sideeffects...

(SAMSUNG Android USB Modem Software was not installed successfully (16) there is a driver installed for the device, please uninstall it first)

. im running a dell 1737 laptop windows 7 64 bit and any help will be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
- Use Device Manager on your PC to uninstall whatever device is showing with the error (possibly 'Samsung ANDROID')

- Uninstall any Samsung USB drivers you have installed

- Unplug phone from computer

- Install these drivers, or Kies from Samsung

- Enter download mode and re-plug into PC

Let me know how you get on.

Good luck! :)

My three year old nephew loves to play games on my phone which i don't mind. It just he sometimes exits the game by mistake trying to get back in and in the process sometimes launches different apps or send a sms or makes a call.

Is there an app in the Mark.. errr Play Store that i can install and PIN lock certain apps like Dailer/SMS?

I want him to be able to go in and launch whatever game he wants or watch movies that are preloaded for him but just not use apps like the dialer.

Anyone know of an app like this?

There is toddler lock which is nice and works but it only worked when he was like 2.

This is prefect I can install this on my parents phones as well and lock them out of Titanium Backup and SuperUser and Root Explorer.

[General Questions and Answers] NoSudo:
I see this post is about a month old, but Im going to respond anyway in case you are still wondering about this. Im not able to say without looking at the script, but it looks to me like it is trying to run tar -z(filter through gzip) when you get the first error response in your script "tar: invalid option -- z"

My guess is Busybox or the ash shell is doing things a little differently OR the script could have a bad path to one of the shell commands it uses.

I know some times when I write scripts on a desktop linux box I have to be sure to check the paths to that stuff. In android Busybox kinda does more. Also some of the commands use different syntax to the shell commands.

If the script is piping output from command to command like I think it is. If one command is NOT in the expected path the next command wont get the correct output and it breaks it all.

I would suggest running the script like this "exec sh -x scriptname.sh -i" this will cause the shell to give allot of extra info about what it happening when the script runs.

You might also consider modifying the script to add some thing like

if [ -e /system/xbin/busybox(or command to check for ]; then

"the command being run here"

else

echo "can't find the file"

fi

You can also check it's permissions, and such by adding to it.

Feel free to PM me if you need more help getting it to work.;)

I didnt see any other threads showing how, just asking how. But i broke my screen monday and thought since I didnt see any I would make a How To.

I take no responsibility if you destroy your phone

I have no ties to this place it just happened to be somewhere in the US that i could buy a screen from in white. http://www.cellphone-repair-shop.com

The arsenal, basic mini magnetic screw driver set, and a guitar pick

This is how the screen comes and explains why they are $200 its half the phone

1 remove battery cover , battery, sim card, and sd card if you have one.

2 remove the 7 screws that have red arrows pointing at them, you might keep the order but they seemed to be all the same to me

3.use your finger nail and pick to pull housing apart at the volume rocker and slide down pushing in occasionally to help separate

4. remove all connectors and the 2 black screws with red arrows. also completely remove the little blue wire its the radio antenna wire you will have to reinsert later.

5. slowly and carefully remove the board

6. remove this board with the arrow pointing at it from the arrow side you can use your hands or a pry tool

7 remove the small screw from this board shown with the red arrow and remove the board, just becareful there is adhesive where the yellow arrow is pointing

8. remove the earphone/speaker with your fingers pulling from the earphone jack, it has some adhesive on the earphone jack

9 use a small flat head and pry up the metal part and this will remove it exposing the front camera and proximity sensor

10. use a small flat head screwdriver to carefully pry up the the proximity sensor where the red arrow is this has adhesive holding it down, if it doesnt come up with the adhesive you will want to remove you will have to reuse it

and there ya go. now all your have to do is take your new screen and reverse all the steps and everything should work just fine

also if you are really careful you can remove your IMEI sticker with a razor blade and hairdryer and transfer it to your new screen =)

thanks for looking
