I had this xame thing as well. To fix I disable automatic update of time and then ensure I was on cell data then access any web related app. Once done I turned auto back on amd boon the time updated. The key is to make a connection to att.

Asus has the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I sent back my charger to Asus on Febuary 16. Not only was I told it would be a 14 business day turnaround, but I was also told I had to send in the cord as well. After about 20 calls to Asus, speaking to numerous supervisors, being told they had no idea where my charger was and I had to just wait, I finally recieved a tracking number a few days ago. I was beyond excitement when I heard the knock from FedEx today. I opened the box up and what do I see? A plain charger, no cord, no outlet plug adapter. NOTHING. What am I suppose to do with just the plain charger without anywhere to plug it in. Every time you call asus they tell you they have to contact another department and someone will contact be back. Which no one ever does. They also say that contact takes up to 48 hours. I just stayed on hold for a supervisor 20 minutes which never came on the phone. I'm at my witts end on what else I could do. Needless to say I will probably never buy Asus again. This is completely unacceptable. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
Throw it in the trash and buy an ipad. Then you can swap it out at an apple store if there is a problem or buy any number of third party accessories to charge your device.

i honestly wish i had never sold my A500 for this tablet. i can't unload it without selling it at a significant loss. my gps still doesn't work despite asus having it for 21 days, 6 days after it came to me on dec21 ( yes i was one of the Neanderthals that thought this tablet was worth preordering for). i will NEVER buy another asus product again. I'm stuck with this tablet for at least 6 more months before I can think of getting a new one.:mad:

Found a different number which I assumed is some sort of corporate office. The nicest guy I've spoken to in this whole ordeal. He is overnighting me the parts I'm missing. Hopefully I will receive it tomorrow or the day after. Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Great its resolved. Thats why I insert photos (time/date stamped) of what condition the items are and everything included, I also make sure all the components going in the package are checked off on the RMA request. Then I take a video of me wrapping all the items, packaging, and finally closing the package in case i need to resort to it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
This is good advice in general, and I do it EVERY TIME I'm sending ANY product in for service, refund, exchange, or whatever. I have a horror story like this for almost every technology manufacturer or vendor I've purchased a product from over the years, including HP, Dell, Toshiba, HTC, Samsung, and some now-defunct companies that few people here would recognize.

Pretty much the only company I never have problems with in this regard is Costco, which is why I buy everything I can from them. Although, seriously, I've found ASUS to be pretty good comparatively, which just goes to show how different peoples' experiences can be and how sweeping generalizations shouldn't be made based on a relative handful of complaints.

Oh, and since Apple was mentioned in this thread, it's maybe valuable to add: yes, they provide good customer service, at least as far as getting product replaced in-store. But, one pays for that luxury, either in higher prices (MacBooks), in a locked-down environment, or at least SOMEONE pays for it (in the case of the iPhone, that would be the cost-shifting that occurs when carriers take a loss in subsidizing the iPhone). Maybe the iPad is decently priced, or maybe it's not--but even if the iPad is reasonably priced, it's because the costs are merely shifted to other Apple products. Apple couldn't make their absolutely phenomenal profits if they weren't getting the money from someone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Wait, if you were without a charger all this time... were you not able to charge your Prime and thus not able to use it?

Sucks lol

OH and the iPad bit-- the OOW replacement cost for an iPad 3rd gen is $299 regardless of what model. iPad 2 and original, $249.

What does this mean? Apple's OOW replacement costs for iOS devices are usually posted at a 20% or more profit. That means that Apple makes at 50% profit on each sale of its devices, and an additional 20% on each OOW repair.

Apple makes plenty of money to support each product with each unit purchased. This is not including returns from AppleCare protection sales.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
Shifting money from other Apple products wouldn't increase their profit. Apple makes phenomenal profits cause they do things like, sell 3million tablets in 3 days.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I mean, Apple can afford to sell the iPad for lower margins (if they do, and maybe they don't) because their margins are inordinately high on their other products. Of course, ultimately, that reduces overall profit margin a tiny bit (more so as more iPads are sold as a percentage of their total sales, of course) and total profits as well. But, again, Apple's margins are already so high that they can afford to take a bit of a hit--it becomes something of a rounding error on their quarterly statements. Also, Apple makes a bit of profit from iTunes and the App Store, which also helps.

The point is, anyone buying an Apple product should expect a much higher level of customer service, because they're paying for it. Kind of like buying a BMW vs. an Infiniti--I hope nobody who buys a BMW and gets the included maintenance actually thinks that maintenance is free...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
That's weird cause I paid 650 for the TFP + dock but only 500 for my iPad. You just can't match the support of physical Apple stores to call centers like ASUS. Besides, I've dealt with HP warranty a few times and they were much better than what ASUS is giving me ATM. My Prime has arrived since two weeks ago and it is not even in their system yet.

In the end, as a end user, we don't care the reason why a certain company can provide better service, we only care that one company provides better service period.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jgrimoldy:
Thanks for sharing the happy ending.

It's nice to know that Asus operates an environment where its employees have the latitude to be helpful if that's their nature. Perhaps the first group you talked to was an outsourced support center...

One thing I've learned is to always ask for a supervisor, and then their supervisor if you're unsatisfied. You need to get to a level where you can get their FULL name, not just a badge number. If they won't give you their full name and their direct number, you've not gone high enough. The real key here is to remain FRIENDLY, CALM, FIRM. If you start getting hot, you'll get nowhere.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pudge12:
Unfortunately I believe the key point in your statement is the outsourced call center. I believe this is exactly where my call would get forwarded. Unfortunately no matter how calm, friendly, firm, or insistent that i knew it wasn't the reps fault but i just needed help, none was given. I was even insulted at one point by a general rep saying I wasn't paying attention and wasn't listening because he told me his computer listed the charger as not received by the facility, and that meant they didn't have it. So when I inquired where it was if FedEx marked the package with information given to me by Asus was, he said I wasn't listening. I asked for a supervisor multiple times and more than half the times i was placed on hold for 20 minutes, told I would be called back and I am still waiting for the phone calls back. The few I did speak to said they were the highest up. Fortunately the last number I called, which was a USA number, not 1800 I spoke to someone who not only had an American accent (not trying to come off racist) but was extremely helpful. Promised he would over night me a charger over night and it was waiting for me today at my doorstep. I will call the same number tomorrow and hopefully find the same helpful individual and personally thank him. The general customer service from Asus was horrible beyond belief, but at the very least there is at least 1 person somewhere that was helpful and to him I thank.

Sorry for the long read.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
First of all, big thanks to mastibeta for testing and confirming that it works.

Disclaimer

This is a dangerous method and could potentially brick your phone. The CWM update makes it a bit more foolproof, but if something fails, it is not my responsibility!

AT&T i717, Rogers i717R, Telus i717D & Bell i717M ONLY! (according to jpeg42, it also works with the ics leak)

Description

This resets the flash counter (kernel/recovery/... flashed through Odin) back to stock.

How to use

Download the zip file. Its an update-zip for cwm.

Put it on your sdcard, boot into recovery and flash it.

Fun Fact

- Samsung knows how many kernels/recoveries you've flashed through odin.

- The single counters are up to 255, so theoretically you can "reset" by flashing 256 of each (Samsung will still know you flashed something)

- Samsung knows what was the last thing you've flashed

- Flashing System is not counted.

did you use the virus script to get that rom on the note? i can't find a thread on it. If your phone won't go into download mode with volume down and power, then you might try opening odin, loading the stock tar in the pda slot, and then plugging your phone into the computer while holding volume down, this is another way to get into download mode. some roms, if they are ported from other devices, may change the button combinations used to get into download mode, so id look into that as well. the only other thing i can suggest after all that is looking into buying a jig. i dont know if they make them for this device, but for some others it is a way to get into download mode when no other way will work. im sorry bud.

Stock ROM Flash Counter?

Hi all, sorry for the noob question but;

Does flashing a root, the stock Bell ROM or CWM through ODIN add to the flash counter?

And from the first post here, will Samsung see my rooting (from pre-rooted kernal found here), flashes of stock Bell ROM and CWM at all after using this reset through CWM?

My steps (on the SGH-i717);

-Flash CWM by Odin (found here)

-Flash counter reset by CWM (found in this thread)

-Flash complete stock Bell ROM with Odin (found here, first file)

Thanks in advanced!

EDIT;

I know how to check for Flash Counter count now, how do I get rid of CWM after resetting the Flash Count without having to Flash the stock rom on Odin? (It seems to increase the Flash Counter by two?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
i've seen the stock recovery as an update zip (for cwm) posted somewhere here,

other than that, you can always create your own update zip, or flash the recovery manually through cwm (adb shell)

that won't increase the counter.

sent from my i717 on UCLF6+FJMod.B4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Yes. Flash in recovery from either internal or external SD. Doesn't matter. There is some risk involved so only do it if absolutely necessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] fordtech99:
I mean what are the risks not to be rude trust but either it works or it doesnt and by risk do you mean like flashing a rom risk or something more

In the op it states that there's a risk of bricking. Its unlikely, but always possible.

So basically the same amount of risk as flashing a Rom

Actually not at all. Flashing a ROM and flashing the counter reset is not the same.
