[Nokia Lumia 900] FiyaFleye:
I went through six devices. But it was because of the vibrate rattle. None of them had any other issue with the exception of the purple hue on my latest one. Being that it's software related I rather stick it out with this phone and have an issue Nokia can fix, than be stuck with the rattle. I'm telling you, my girlfriend and I got the same phones on the same day, hers was quiet, and my first five devices clicked like the world was coming to an end on vibrate. I would ask reps, and other customers in the stores and NONE of them had the problem. I guess since I kept taking the ones with the rattle before they were able to -_-
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
What do you mean by "clicked?" Mine buzzes like a small electric shaver. It only "clicks" when you change from photo to video in the camera. But it's just one audible click. I've heard the rattle varies from phone to phone. It's allegedly not an all or nothing deal.
[Nokia Lumia 900] charlyee:
Let's see, this is my 3rd one. My first one went into a boot loop when I ran the update from my Mac, I am guessing I may have done something wrong being it was my first experience with Windows Connector. My second one had the the purple hue and this one is perfect (keeping my fingers crossed).

None of the three had any other issues. Tomorrow is the end of my 30 days and there is no other device out there that I want over my Lumia. :)

I haven't had to replace mine, but my dad has had to have his replaced four times now. Once for echo and feedback issue when on calls, twice for purple screen and once for the rogue voice control popping up at random times even when the phone is not in use.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kev.schu:
After playing with the phone some more it turns out it is some sort of short circuit issue. Whenever I put any sort of pressure on the back of the phone the sound would stop. This also meant that even setting it on the table on its back, would make the sound stop working at times. I took the phone back showed them the problem and replaced it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] andresamador:
I exchanged my black one from launch dare for a white one yesterday. The original had issues with the capacitive buttons and vibration noise but I actually like the vibration because I could always tell it apart from other cell phones at table. The white one is working perfectly
[Nokia Lumia 900] idelgado782:
I bought mines on the 21st and haven't had any issues. Knock on wood. However my gf got the phone last Wednesday and hers had the purple screen issue as well as the horrible vibrating issue. We took in to get swapped and they all had the purple screen issue. However one of them did not have the vibrating issue so we wen with that one because I know Nokia is going to release a fix for the purple screen.

[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
Actually had to replace mine the same day i bought it.

Couple hours after i bought the phone i locked it and put it in my pocket. Couple hours later i took it out and it was completely dead. Held down the power button, tried different button combinations but couldn't get it to do anything. Only activity i could get is when i plugged it in to charge it would vibrate.

Haven't had any issue with the replacement though
[Nokia Lumia 900] dale_cooper:
I'm very tempted to get a lumia 900 instead of an htc one x but man it sounds like there are some serious quality control issues...

Are you guys still happy with the phone or is it annoying at this point?

I am very happy with mine. Not going back to Android anytime soon. :)

[Nokia Lumia 900] chrisz5z:
since your considering the one x then it becomes a matter of preference. Sense 4 is one the the best Android experiences so far. Having said that, I've used a ported Sense 4 rom for some time on my last phone and I still think WP7 is a better experience. Replacing your phone is pretty painless, I didn't have any troubles.
[Nokia Lumia 900] dale_cooper:
I'd buy it through amazon though (half the price at $50), so shipping back and forth woudl be a massive pain...
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
Returning my first one tomorrow.

Capacitive buttons just stopped working. Reflashed FW and everything, but they won't return. Kinda makes it hard to get around the phone.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
I exchanged by black Lumia 900 for a white one because of the purple screen issue. It doesn't have the quietest vibrate mode but I can live with that. I got my Lumia 900 for free during the rebate period. I could not imagine paying $200 more for an HTC One X. With the mandatory data fees these companies charge I don't ever see myself paying $200 for a contract phone.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
I assume you don't have any form of backup for it? The tool I wrote last fall has served me well to backup and fully restore my lumia 900 after I "play" with it and mess things up. I don't update the thread anymore because I don't have the time to handle all the problems international folks were having and now someone else wrote a tool that does the same thing.

Ok that was a tangent... anyway, I wonder if restoring to a prior version would help? I know you said you tried a different "firmware" but this would get you the original config on the phone. Seems odd those buttons just stop working. It will SUCK that all app settings will be lost when you get a new phone.

I wish I had more time to dev. I would love to get an app that could be sideloaded with highest privileges to take all application isolated storage data and skydrive it.
[Nokia Lumia 900] NickS_:
My Dad had this happen to him too. Had the phone for four hours and it completely crapped the bed. Nokia's QC must be seriously lacking.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
I have been watching tutorials on developing android apps and have seen "open source" mentioned multiple times in some of the videos. I am aware that this is essentially taking code available to the public and interpreting code into your programs. My question is if i were to use some classes from an open source developer (such as a terminal/shell class) tweak it a bit, and use it in my program, could i then put that app on the market and sell it for money? Also if i make the app free will i be able to put ads in the app? Thanks, in the end it will probably be free with no ads for experimental purpose but this is just for future purposes and knowledge.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I think you can. I helped write an app, and I used a well known terminal shell command class in the app. I asked the creator for permission. My app was free though but it shouldn't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
Thanks, i guess the safest way to go is to ask the dev before taking action.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
i would ask the developer for permission to use his code. if he says its fine, you're doing yourself a favor by not being destroyed by the public who hate code thieves.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bauerc51:
So, I went and rebooted my phone this morning after I noticed that when I changed from one custom accent color to another, the change did not affect the entire system (the volume was still showing the old one, but the tiles were the new one). When it started to boot up, I was presented with the "update" screen that shows not to disconnect from your pc (was not connected at the time). Then the phone hung on the SAMSUNG screen for about a minute or two until finally the ATT screen showed up. Then I was greeted with the inital setup of the phone which is when I knew the phone hard reset.

I have a backup (or atleast I should) from my update to 8107. My question is, is that going to restore my developer unlock, keep all my custom colors, registry tweaks, etc? Or am I better off just reinstalling all my apps throughout the day. I would really like to keep my developer unlock as I do like my custom colors and messing around with homebrew apps.

Thoughts if my backup will restore my dev unlock and all my custom settings?

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Backups, more properly called restore points, contain all user data (except Zune files, on recent versions) and all system files (including the registry, where your unlocks are).

Do you perhaps have a SD card in the phone? Using unsupported SD cards is one known cause of unexpected resets.
[EVO 4G General] Warrior 3000:
So before this point I have NEVER had a problem with sprint.

Like a normal EVO fanboy I was dying just to pre order my EVO LTE. May 7th came around and i quickly went to sprint.com to pre order. *click, click, *click*

My HTC EVO 4G LTE was pre ordered! Wait, the total is $245.74:mad:

A few hours passed and I kept seeing how this site "wirefly" was selling the EVO LTE for 150 bucks with no sales tax and free shipping! I was kinda eh about it because i never heard of the site.

A few more hours passed and saw that the price on wirefly dropped to 119.99!! what a deal! if i would to cancel my order with sprint id saved over 100 bucks!

I quickly call sprint and have been calling sprint. EVERY agent i talk to they tell me i CAN NOT cancel my pre order, the only way i can cancel it is when its about to ship and i have to "refuse" the shipment.

I have called them over 10 times now with each time having a different agent every time, still no luck with this.

Has anyone had any luck with canceling the pre order from sprint??? If so, what was your trick?? I even pulled the "I have been a loyal customer for sprint for over 7 years now"
[EVO 4G General] blaz1nr:
Sprint customer service reps don't even work for sprint. I have had just about lost my mind until a tech at a corporate store told me they are in a call center some where and have no idea about the phones,and can't do anything that their contract won't allow. Your best bet is live chat on the web site. Once the pre order is made they pay the manufacture ahead of time so you really can't cancel your order. If you refuse your order it will take a looooooonnnnnggggggg time to get your money back.

[EVO 4G General] bigbear6708:
I had the same problem with a phone I ordered, then decided I didnt want from an actual Sprint store...I had to wait for it to come in and refuse it, it was a headache, but only because I had to wait a few days for everything to play out.

Not sure about wirefly, but usually when you order from sprint online, the activation fee is waived...(could save you some bux!)
[EVO 4G General] kevinsalterego:
$119.99? I pre-ordered yesterday for $149.99 from Wirefly. I think they have a pre-order price match guarantee though so I might have to call them.

Also, Sprint has to charge sales tax because they have brick and mortar stores in your state. They also add in the ridiculously high sprint activation fee that you will still have to pay for separately if you order from Wirefly. Still, you save $50 and some sales tax if you pick it up from Wirefly.

If I were you, I would order from Wirefly now if you're that antsy about it. Refusing the package is perfectly acceptable. Worst case, you miss the shipment, but you bring the un-opened box to UPS, USPS, FEDEX or whichever company shipped it, and they shouldn't have a problem letting you refuse it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
So i'm at a loss here...

I copied alot of music to my prime (internal storage, into sdcard/music/) when i first got it. Worked perfectly. I was using the stock Music player for a while then it got on my nerves and i installed PlayerPro which i also use on my mobile phone. Works great.

Now a few months later i got some new music and i copied it to my prime. The only thing:

The music is not showing up in any player. Not the google player not playerpro. I can play the files from my file manager but in the actual music app it wont show up.

I rebooted, reinstalled music apps, used a sd card rescan app, cleared cache on all involved apps, deleted the music and copied again, used iSyncr and manual copy... And it cant be the music itself because on my phone the same files work fine.

Dont know what more i could do now :( any ideas?

[e] Gets even stranger, if i copy it with MyPhoneExplorer over wifi, it works the music gets recognized by all players. Strange, but at least a workaround.

Btw is there a way to enable Harddrive mode? This medialayer mode kinda sucks^^

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knslyr:
I'm currently limping along on my LG G2X (worst... phone... ever,) that has been rooted and loaded with various custom ROMS (both GB and ICS.) However, the bugginess, inconsistency and missing functionality are quickly making it unusable as my daily driver.

My question is, any other TMobile G2X users made the switch to the GNex? How has it been for you? Stability? 4G Speeds? Functionality?

I'm seriously considering taking the plunge, but would like to be REALLY SURE before I "convince" my wife that it is "only" option :)

Thanks in advance, I know these types of questions are a dime a dozen (though strangely I didn't see any pop up for G2X to GNex in my search... though that could be because the G2X SUCKS SO FREAKING BAD THAT PEOPLE REFUSED TO BUY IT OR SIMPLY CONVERTED THEIR OLD ONES TO BROAD-BASED GOLF TEES OR POORLY DESIGNED THROWING STARS... sigh.)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zak's z:
I have both an LG Optimus 2x P999 (G2X) and the Galaxy Nexus. I actually like the LG, theres custom roms for it and a whole section on it here (if you look). The LG has the Tegra 2, a good screen, and everything seems to work fine on mine. Its one of the better phones that works on Wind (canada). For a budget android, its great.

That being said it's no Galaxy Nexus. The galaxy nexus is a whole generation ahead of the 2X. I don't need to sell the specs and features on you. You have to justify your own purchase. You can sell the G2 for a decent buck and put it towards the new Gnex I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thanasisc4:
This is the exact move I made.

Only I did it alot sooner, meaning I paid 700 for the Gnex in November... eased the pain a bit by seling the G2x for 300 to some poor sap :)

Now that the Gnex is 400 off contract direct from google, I would jump on it.

I enjoyed my G2x despite all its nonsense, but the Gnex is 100x a better experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] painter_:
I switched from the G2x to the Galaxy Nexus. It was one of the best moves I have done. The 4g speeds are about the same as I was getting on the G2x in my area. I have not traveled since I switched so I do not know about other areas. I am getting 5-6 on downloads and about 1-2 on uploads. The voice quality is great and both the voice and data connections are stable unlike the G2x.

I am running CM9 on my Nexus. It is extremely stable compared to G2x. Everything just works unlike the G2x. I have no problem getting a full day with moderately heavy use.

Well worth the investment. It is also contract free, depending on your plan and needs you can reduce how much you pay t-mobile monthly. I am on the value plan so I do not get the discounts on phones from T-Mobile. $400 is cheep for a unlocked phone contract free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
I switched from G2x and never had any problems with that phone (dual-core, fast, great battery, IPS panel). I like Nexus, but "newspaper" white is just killing it. G2x had very good colors.

I switched from G2x to One S and then Nexus because it was free for me. actually i gained like 20-30 bucks in process....

Unless you hate Sense or wanna flash CM9 or AOKP right away, I would get One S instead. Its better then Nexus in every way but development.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
I switched from the G2x back in november!! Paid ~$700 for the european Nexus and had to sell the G2x for a pathetic $200. There is no market for the G2x here in Chicago, even Samsung Vibrants were selling for ~$300 at the time! Lol the G2x just never caught on and was left on the back burner, most unpopular android phone EVAR! :rolleyes:

Anyways, to answer your question, GET IT!!!! It's the best phone I have ever had. Period. And I've gone through my share of android phones starting with the Nexus One, then the Vibrant, G2, G2x, and finally the GNex. The GNex has everything I could have ever wanted from a phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingkee:
I gave my G2x to my bro-in-law after "Sensation scam" happened on him.

GNex is better than G2x in every aspect EXCEPT:

1. memory card support

2. mass storage (MTP is painfully slow and wifi explorer can't transfer folders)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
Here's the problem, there's the lgp999DW, DWP, and 2 others that I dont remember off the top of my head. Only 3 of the 4 got the OTA. They're supposed to make the file available, for those who didnt recieve it like they were supposed to, around May 14. At that time I'm sure there should be a way to force load the update for our model.

I did the whole stock format and search for update, did the stock format and connected to my computer, all said the same thing, "Your device is up-to-date. 2.3.3 V21e." There is no current sure-fire way to get the update until they release it.
