[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konqeror:
My kindle recently has had some issues. I had it uncharged for a few months because I had no real reason to use it.

I attempted to power on without plugging it in assuming it had a little bit of juice left since I didn't just let it die on its own.

Nothing.

So, I do what everyone else would do, plug it in and forget about it for a while and let it charge (12 hours). When I come back to it I find that it still has zero charge.

This time I plug it in and watch it, I get to the yellow triangle screen for about 1 second and then it starts all over. The green charging light turns on for this second, then goes black then it restarts.

My question is: Is there anything I can do short of requesting a new one? Would amazon even ship me a fixed unit because of my rooting of the device? Am I completely SOL? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi.

I bought this phone 3 days ago. It's all stock. Untouched!

I am having reception issues at my house.

I have spent hours with t-mobile reps.

Finally they admitted that my house location is "borrowing signal" from other carriers, as they have no tower here. So i am borrowing from AT&T and (could it be - verizon?? that's what the rep told me in any case).

In any case, is this a legitimate way of leaving the contract i signed? Obviously I can't keep using T-Mobile.

Also, if it is a legitimate cancellation reason, what is going to be done with my phone itself? Do I need to ship it back? Do I get to keep it?

Thank U all !!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cam1john:
Unless u paid retail for the phone, im sure it still belongs to the carrier? I do believe its a legit reason for tmobile to cancel the contract tho.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
You just signed the contract 3 days ago? You have 2 weeks to back out of the contract.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] benyben123:
ironically, i just moved! so i had the contract for 5 weeks now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
I have one bar at my house but I couldn't care less...I use wifi calling. Is that an option for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] benyben123:
No. To be honest, it's partly a matter of principle - u buy a phone, U want it to work. but that's not the only thing. I work from home. I do a lot of talking, and I go outside, walk around with the dog. Blah blah... i need a phone that has signal!

The reason I am asking here, is that you guys are impartial. I know I can just call T-Mobile, but they might sell me something or not share the entire info. I am mainly interested in what is going to happen with the phone itself. I love the phone. I would even unlock it and move to ATT (and yes, limit myself to 2G - that's fine), but are they going to let me keep the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
Negative. Unless you paid full price for the phone, it still belongs to T-Mobile. However, if you cancel, and then head over to ATT, they'll have some nice phones as well, including the Skyrocket (our sister phone), AND the international SII.

I think you get a 14 day trial. You may have to pay a $25 restocking fee though.

Edit. When I posted this from the mobile app I would have been the third post, but ended up way down here. So didn't mean to be redundant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Striker333:
Your best best is to check with T-Mobile and see if they will allow someone to take over your contract and if so start looking for someone to do so. 5 weeks goes beyond any return period I have heard and they will most likely they would say it isn't their fault you moved to an area where they don't have great reception.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rawsx:
Isn't the etf $200? If so you can pay that. Sell the phone on Craigslist, easily and buy another on Craigslist for similar price. Better yet get the note for att.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
From my own personal experience, they will not waive the contract cancel fee for this situation.

I was really excited to see the new version of Go SMS Pro supported group messaging like the iPhone. however every time I sent a group mms the responses got their own thread. I want to see all of the responses in one thread. I tried Handcent also and still no luck! I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with this feature or gotten it to work in either app?

*so fun fact... installing the beta made it work. The play store version won't.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] buffjam9011:
BUMP

I was going to make a thread but found this old one. I too had been using Go SMS Pro to communicate with my iPhone group messaging buddies. It wasn't perfect - sometimes messages would be received in individual threads or seemingly not at all - but overall it was bearable. I have been waiting for a better solution and I found it in the newest version of the Slim Bean rom posted in the skyrocket android development forum. Using the stock messaging app with the new "group messaging" option in settings checked, I have been enjoying more fluent group conversations.

I am writing this for two reasons. The first is simply to make yall aware that this exists and works well from my limited experience (going on two days with this rom - but over 50 group messages). The second is to see if it would be possible to apply this tweak to any of the other great CM10 roms floating around. I have flashed many CM10 roms that are really quite awesome, but lack this functionality. I use it so much that I always go back to slim bean. I have no dev experience but I am curious to learn, and I'm hoping learning something like this would be a nice way into that world. If it's too complicated (or even too easy to learn anything from) that's ok too, but I am very interested in applying this functionality to roms without it baked in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bp787:
handcent SMS works with Group messages, including with people who have an IPhone. It's a bit quirky at times, but generally it works well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] buffjam9011:
I understand, but my point is that in the newest slim bean the default messaging client works and is NOT quirky as third party remedies have been up until now.

Just as a tip to you guys who have bought your Nexus on amazonwireless.com, the price for the phone has just went down to $49.99. That means that if you have bought your phone less than 30 days ago, the representative will be able to knock the price down for you.

In my case, I bought my Nexus three weeks ago for $99.99 and they just price matched it for me.

Easiest way for me is to download the rom to your computer and open it up (I use 7zip to do this) then go in to the system apps and delete which ever one you want. You can also use root explorer from the play store to delete system apps.

Never attempted that one but you can definitely use 7zip idk about root explorer for that one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] *system error*:
Do some research on the installation of fiber optic connectors. It is glass. You have to manually (on the old style epoxy type connectors) sand down the glass with different grit sandpapers. I nabbed some out of a fiber kit from a previous employer and used it on an old school crt monitor. Worked like a champ.

There's a three step sanding process. look it up and see what grit paper you would need. It's def worth a try.

Seems a bit extreme--especially if your scratches are minor, but looks like it works.

I saw someone else post somewhere that they used 3M Perfect-It III-Trizact* machine glaze, which is made of a similar material as Gorilla Glass. But that stuff is expensive and you'd still be doing a lot of sanding/buffing.

New to the 3d but not to rooting. I'm not a developer by any stretch but I can monkey button and follow instructions. I've rooted a Moment and an Evo Shift 4G and with Revolution Root this was really painless. I do have to say that even with their Superwipe (which I use all the time, really nice :) ) Roms had some issues like heat and reboot during Nav. Anyway, tried the latest Mean Rom next, had issues with hot phone and battery drain. Then tried Infected 3.5, really nice, except no Opera mobile support. Anyway, currently running Warm TWOPOINTTHREE Deodex and its running really nice. Phone stays cool, all the apps and functions seem to work, probably stick with this for a while.

I am in now way bashing any of the developers or their product. Everybody's rooting experience is different and I really appreciate everybody's efforts. Can't wait to see a stable Cyanogen release.

[About XDA developers] bickman2k:
I noticed today when copying/pasting a link that the link all of a sudden became huge.

Going from: http://jumbofiles.com/uyaktf1oq6f5

to this: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...b-REL.tar.md5 - xda-developers&txt=D700_Odin3

I have seen Viglink before and it is an affiliate link creator that changes all links to affiliate links so XDA (or whatever forum) can make money from clicks. After a quick search, I did not see anything on the site about selling my information nor was there a notice about the affiliate links being used. This is a requirement per the Viglink website that states:

Will my users notice? Should I disclose it?

Most users do not notice on their own although we highly recommend you disclose it. VigLink does not change the user experience one bit. No links are inserted or removed on the page, there are no double-underlines or pop-ups, and mousing over a link looks "clean."

The US Federal Trade Commission requires that you disclose use of affiliate links. More information and tools are available.

Even if you are not subject to FTC jurisdiction, we strongly recommend you disclose. Our customers have found that readers are completely understanding if they are informed and can be upset if they are surprised. Informing your users will give those who desire it the opportunity to permanently opt-out. Although VigLink is unobtrusive, it is easily detectable by savvy users.

To go along with this, I checked the Rules page to see if it was modified to allow this. Still in the rules is this line:

Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.

Was this just a test to see if it would pay off or were you hoping no one would notice?

If any users want to opt out, please add *.viglink.com to your ad blocker or you can use their opt out page here: http://www.viglink.com/static/support/optout
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Perhaps it's a test to see if people read our Privacy Policy?

Excerpt

But in general, there are considerable costs associated with running a site with 4 million members and 30 to 40000 online at any one time. We meet these costs via donations, advertising and a small percentage via VigLink. It should be realised that Forum sites of our size, might seem to generate huge income, but in truth very very small numbers of Members ever click the adverts (typical of forum sites), so we do need to generate additional support funding via the likes of VigLink. As you see, this is no secret, and the privacy policy is linked to on our main portal page.
[About XDA developers] bickman2k:
Thanks. I wasn't sure where the Privacy Policy was and I can understand the costs for running a site like this. This was just the first time I have noticed the Viglink-created links and there was a huge uproar after some forum admins on another site installed it and did not notify its' users. I wanted to make sure that this wasn't also happening here.
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
That's fair comment and I'm sure we'd all rather not have any advertising at all TBH.

[About XDA developers] James_Oakley:
Yes. The link in the privacy policy to turn off viglink is itself on viglink, so with adaway blocking viglink there's no way to turn off the forum rewriting the links

Ah, I just found something for anyone else reading this. Trying to download Magisk from this forum using my mobile, I was getting problems because of viglinks, but then on my desktop computer the links were direct ones. All you have to do is remove the /amp from the end of a URL on your mobile, and viglink disappears. It's an amp problem.

Rooting ur phone is easy just follow dr ketan thread. And samsung are not the fastest at releasing updates anyway. I had an iphone 4 and jailbreaking was a ball ache and a waiting game.

Dude...no fail AT ALL :D

I know exactly what you mean and I've been there as well.

You can root and run custom firmwares and customize kernels and whatever you want and Samsung or Google will not interfere and will not patch you or force any update on you that would undo your mods :D

Just be careful to read the instructions really carefully and ask as much as you need, people will help you, no matter how little you know of Android. With all this freedom also comes the possibility to do something stupid to your phone and, obviously, you wouldn't want that.

If you're feeling brave and up to it, I also recommend imilka's CyanogenMod 9 port. So far it's the best firmware I've had on my Note and you also have the advantage of running a stock, non-bloated version of the latest Android :D

If you've got any questions, I'll answer them here or on Cyanongen's thread, as best I can ;)

Cheers and happy flashing!! :)
