Sony customer service?

I agree with you; but they make a rod for their backs by the secretive and unhelpful responses when given. The as others have said, a simple timetable would settle most people.

[[[[/B]B][/B]QUOTE=dante2086;26213738]In reply to dexter 9898, I have a galaxy tab 10.1. There's no update. Don't know about the transformer.

Sony is one of the first to update to ICS and yet, they still get trashed. You do realise, they could have easily withheld the ICS update for the wifi regions, till the 3G regions were ready. And launched all in June. But still, they get trashed. No company is updating as many devices to ICS as Sony. And still, they get trashed. Tough world.

Sony UK says on official Sony UK facebook page:

On May 31st a popup box will appear on your Tablet allowing you to update to ICS. Thanks for your patience.
[Sony Tablet S] sapphire88:
May 31st of which year?
[Sony Tablet S] descb600f:
They have given us a date, don't give them s### for that. At least wait and see if they meet there own deadline.

You'll still be one of the first tablets to be on ICS.
[Sony Tablet S] sapphire88:
yes, sorry, you are right, i told that because italian customer service and sony italia on facebook says everytime the same thing:

customer service: we are not aware of an update to ICS

sony italia facebook: very very soon you will have news! (and this is from april)
[Sony Tablet S] jb2001:
:) funny..... what I don't get is what is sony cooking into the UK Rom that differs from the US bread ???? cant understand why it would take this long to roll out a UK version when the US version is 99.9% identical ?????

is it just me ??????

anyway at least we now have a date..... 31st may..... only another TEN days wait :(

You can go to "Accounts & sync" under settings and disable the sync for background data.

[Sony Tablet S] papacarla:
My singaporean 3g tablet is updated already.
[Sony Tablet S] Sloc:
Updated my Singapore Wifi 16GB Tablet S last night.

Did a factory reset before the update, updated, and then reinstalled all my previous apps-(there weren't many, so was able to do it quickly, copied my video/audio files back to the tablet and was up and running. The whole process was straightforward and painless.

The Tablet S is now super-smooth and fast, fast fast! :D

An excellent update indeed.

My Wifi connection seems to be much more stable now (not that I had any major problems earlier..just minor disconnection issues).

It's nice to be able kill apps with just a swipe.

All the browser operations are smooth and fluid now.

It's nice to be able to access video files from the SD directly from MX player.

The Youtube start page 'video wall' is very smooth now.

So far no screen flickering.

Still have some exploration of ICS to do but I already love the UI and fonts..clean and efficient compared to the slightly tacky and busy HC variant that we had on the Tablet S previously.

Anyway, thanks to Sony for delivering on this nice update .:)

PS: Should the 'force hardware rendering' (or something to that effect) in the Developer section of the UI be enabled? Does it provide any real benefit?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
So, my screen broke yesterday.... yay....

Story behind it: I picked it up from its stand like Ive done a million times before, and the screen just shattered in the upper-left corner.

My educated guess is that the frame wasnt correctly assembled, and its been pressing the glass in such a way the glass eventually couldnt take it anymore.

And of course the place I bought it from says physical damages isnt covered by the warranty -.-

I should point out that, despite my mods on the charger/usb adapter/etc, my tablet has never been opened.

So now I have a tablet with cracked screen, which Ive always been extremely careful with, with people telling me they wont fix it under warranty...

It wouldve been fine had it not been for the 3 cracks covering the screen on the left side.

Thankfully the cracks on the touch-area are not all the way through, so at least I can use the tablet just fine.

Anyway, the question I wanted to ask...

Has anyone else had their screen crack/shatter for no reason?

Im kinda pissed off at the moment, both at ASUS for making such a fragile unit, and at the company refusing to fix it. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK007:
Have you contacted Asus about this? If you can, get really good pictures of the corner, showing the cracked glass and the outer housing. You might get a better response by showing that the glass broke but theres no damage to the housing, more or less providing pictures that it wasnt dropped. Just because im sure every phone/tablet company has heard every possible lie when people drop their phone or tablet and say "it just happened while sitting on a table". Not saying you did, just giving an example for why customer service sucks for physical damage.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
That is a bit scary because I do notice that on mine there are sections where I can push in the glass slightly with a little pressure, so a tiny gap area, showing that it isn't fully housed properly. It's nothing noticeable or annoying.. but if my screen shatters D:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batjuh:
Almost always they claim it isn't covered i should make photo's of it like said before and sent them to asus yourself.

If they say its your own fault then i should check i you can repair it yourself

The screen for it is over here

http://www.screencountry.com/index.php?section=products&model=EEE%20Pad%20Transformer%20TF101&brand=ASUS

They also tell you through youtube how too fix your transformer

For all i know of reading on forums you also need a screen digitizer

You can check out this website

http://www.asusparts.eu/index.php?cPath=66920_222155_222301

They have a whole lott of parts for transformers

Good luck with finding a solution too your problem

Sent from my Transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goatshocker:
They refuse to fix it... Ive just bought a car as well so I cant afford to send it in for repair, or buy a new screen and fix it myself.

I guess I'll just have to live with it for now.

Its not that annoying, it looks like theres a hair on the screen (yes, Ive blown on it several times forgetting its a crack lol).

Its no biggie if it doesnt get worse, except its not really as mobile as it used to be

Im just afraid it will break even more if I so much as look at it lol.

Thats how mine was, except I couldnt push the glass. There was no flex at all, which only sortof confirms that theres been a pressure on the glass. Ive always had a bit of flex on the right hand side though.

I should point out that now when the pressure is gone, theres a slight flex on the screen on the left side as well now.

My Desire S Cant read my Sd card and have never could since i got it for free there is no guarantee to cover this. i dont know if it's a hardware problem or if its a software problem... is there a way to check that? i have tryed everything i could find online with no luck :/ it is not the SD card that is the problem and it is not the size since i have tryed a: 512 mb, a 2 gb, a 4 gb,a 8 gb and a 16 gb card wich all was readable on my pc :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Sounds like a hardware issue. Probably the reason why the previous owned sold it off... Take it to a local service centre where they service HTC phones. Maybe they can fix the issue if its only a slot malfunction and repair it for a small fee. If however, it's a mainboard problem, you may have to shell out considerably more cash for the same.

Best of luck anyway...

for installing, first rename the file to bootanimation.zip

then just place or replace bootanimation.zip in /system/media folder with proper permission

DO NOT FLAsH THE ZIP IN RECOVERY

[Acer Iconia A500] nasimdejai:
I sent Acer UK an email yesterday about the ICS update issue and something the Rep mentioned in his reply baffled me. He said he could see I was out of warranty. Could that be a factor in getting an update? Cos if that's the case,then, I'll forget about buying devices off Acer. He also mentioned that I should get the latest Acer update Enhancement software and do an update check after. That process had been done over and over and still no luck. I'm fed up right now. Not even checking anymore

The reply to my email:

Discussion Thread ---------------------------------------------------------------Response Via Email(Krishna Kishore Kollabathula) - 04/05/2012 02.13 PM Dear Nas Dejai,

Thank you for contacting Acer UK.

We understand your concern.

We request you to follow the below weblink, which have the detailed information for the ICS update.

http://acer--uk.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/16694/

According to our records, the product is out of warranty.
