It was sold/shipped from amazon, he told me. The exchange process is simple; press return/exchange items from order in "Your Orders," give them a description and they'll ship you a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkfire2024:
That sounds wonderful. It was unfortunate that Google no longer offers this kind of service with its nexus, and instead has you directed to Samsung.

Have you tried registering the phone with Samsung and will they accept it? That's probably the last thing I want to know before Amazon takes my money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Nexus Project:
Most of the display issues mentioned in this thread can be easily fixed. For example I had the grainy issue but tweaked my Gamma settings Red, Green, Blue etc. And fixed the issue. The easiest way to get to these settings is in the Franco app. I had to edit mine through terminal emulator wich was a pain in the a**. After 7 months the GNex is still amongst the top 3 phones in the world. The dev. Community is extensive as are the ROM & Kernel selection. My only gripe is Samsung's love for plastic but Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor fixed that. My favorite feature is probably the customizable softkeys. I'll probably buy a Nexus 4 but the GNex will run Jellybean "Liquid Smooth" lol. Congrats to all you new GNex owners. :thumbup::cool:

I was going to post this on the thread in the dev forum that I *thought* pointed to the correct kernal, but due to restrictions I have to post here.

I want to install DoomKernal on my Play, as I have freshly rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader.

To be honest I am a little confused as what version is which, but I think that because I am mixing up threads with those of the ICS beta rather than

My build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42 so I think, I need v14 in this thread. Is this what I want? Is there any reason one would choose an earlier version of this?

Its just my humble opinion but i would suggest just give up on gingerbread and move on to ICS. Currently there are some quite stable and smooth custom ROMs available already and i think in short period of time gingerbread will simply leave the scene.

[General Questions and Answers] namxnam:
I have borked my phone! Any help appreciated.

The steps I took to break it

HTC Desire HD (unbranded) running latest Gingerbread firmware

Unlocked bootloader using HTCDev

Installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v5.8.1.5

Installed Su and SuperUser

Then tried to install a Custom Rom (with S-ON, I think this is fundamental to the problem)

The steps I have tried to recover it

Running an RUU (3.12.405.1 - which is what it was running before). Version error. Main Version is Older!

Tried creating a goldcard to get around that. No success

Tried AAHK - no success, lots of libc.so missing errors

Tried a downgrade guide that used Fre3vo, same libc.so missing errors.

I have ADB access from recovery.

Any help at all much appreciated.

Hello,

There is an awesome build of MIUI GB that is rock solid and stable. It is probably the fastest build of MIUI GB I have seen so far. The issue is that it is all in Chinese. I could set the language to English and push the eri.xml file to get English displaying.

I have a few nagging issues:

Dictionary not working correctly with the native GB keyboard.

Handful of apps in Chinese (sidekick.apk, calendar app, monitoring app)

Some apps do not appear in Market (perhaps due to region setting)

I would like to get my feet wet with converting roms, but not sure where to start.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vulcZ:
Had the original EVO and I loved it. From it I upgraded to an Epic 4G Touch. I wont lie, I love this phone. It's fast, has a nice screen, and has had decent developer support. With that being said, everything everyone has always said about Samsung and their software update support has been true (at least for me). Their updates are EXTREMELY rare! Another thing I hate is the capacitive buttons on this phone. On my EVO, I could literally spam the crap out of a button, and it would pickup every command. Cant do that on this phone. If I try to spam one of the buttons, it'll skip a few presses. Probably not a negative in practice, but like I said, it's the little things that bug me. Also, even though I prefer clean Android, some skins offer some pretty good uses, and in my experience the stuff that came included in Sense was a lot more functional than stuff included with TouchWiz (and I'm not speaking of the launcher itself).

I don't know, I guess I am excited over some minor things. One thing I love about my current phone is the speed. It never ever slows down or feels choppy. The UI has been extremely fluid the entire time I've had. Same with gaming performance. Either way, I can't wait to get the EVO 4G LTE! :D

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GuestK00403:
Okay sounds like you need to flash a compatible kernel.

Pull the battery and get back to Hboot select the fastboot usb option and then you can use

the fastboot commands to flash a kernel.

Superuser guide should have the info you need to do that if you have questions.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416836

Flash a custom Kernel/Recovery (Three options, I suggest the FIRST)

*ATTENTION* IF FLASHING A KERNEL FOR A NEW ROM YOU WANT, YOU MUST FLASH THE ROM IMMEDIATELY AFTER FLASHING THE KERNEL WITHOUT BOOTING UP, THE KERNEL COMES FIRST. OTHERWISE, YOU MIGHT BOOT LOOP.

FIRST (AUTO) (joeykrim's FlashImageGUI method)

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1423151

OR

SECOND (AUTO) (xboarder56's method)

- First, turn off wifi on your phone

- If you have SetCPU installed or any other program where you have altered to overclock or underclock, DISABLE the "set on boot" option

- You will have to download Easy Kernel Flasher v03.zip which is attached below

- Next plug in your phone and make sure its getting detected

- After that extract the zip file (kernel flasher)

- Place the boot.img of the kernel you want flashed in the "Kernel-Here" folder.

- Make sure android debugging is enabled on your phone via settings

- Click Flash.bat for windows or Flash.sh for linux and wait for it to close terminal

- Wait for your phone to reboot and wait 5-10 minutes. Then reboot again and wait 5 minutes, then you're good to go!

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1328141

OR

THIRD (Manual) (Pirateghost's method)

- Extract the boot.img out of the kernel file you want and put it in the same directory as your fastboot.exe/fastboot executable

- Boot phone into hboot/bootloader (make sure you are in fastboot mode)

- Enter this code to flash the kernel and reboot the phone

Code:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

Hit thanks if I helped.

Also what's the pit file ? When downloading Odin from sammobile, I have a s1_odin_20100512.pit, is it the right one ?

Thanks in advance !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndresOrue:
this is en example use ur own file. (Proceed at your own risk. We are not liable if anything happens to your device by using this method. )

Step by Step Instructions:

Download the Android Firmware

Extract the downloaded file ‘I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1.rar’ to get these 3 files:

CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5

GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5

MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5

Download Odin software

Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.

Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.

this is required to install the XXKG1 using Odin PC Software.

Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe.

Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !”

under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message,

than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed.

Important! On Odin, Do NOT tick the ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox, but keep the ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F.

Reset Time’ checkboxes ticked. Do not touch any other checkbox or tab or anything, except as required in step 9 below.

Select these files in Odin at respective tabs (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):

Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)

Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5 (from step 2.3)

Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5 (from step 2.2)

Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.

When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot —

and you can unplug the cable then.

Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.

If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shaolin95:
Hello!

So I have been waiting for the GS3 so long that I ignored the NOTE..now that I see it, I am impressed that is a beast...huge phone that fits me great because I use my phone all the time and that screensize is just perfect.

So my only concern is, the International one seems to have a lot more Development going on for it and better CPU if I am correct.

So , how is the situation with this one?

As you can see I love tweaking my phone but I think that if I am able to overclock it and get ICS , I would be happy even if its not the fastest growing dev phone around.

I mostly watch videos and play emulators on it. Mame, etc. Calling is not an issue nor is size.

It looks like ICS means not OCing?

Any comments?

I just would like to avoid getting the International one unless it is necessary.

I've had the captivate, nexus, Skyrocket and many more. BUT the Note is the best phone I've ever had. I highly recommend it to anyone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
well the Note does do the following:

HDMI output with MHL adapter

OTG cable support for various USB devices including Keyboards and USB memory sticks

Support for 64GB micro sdxc cards.

Killer Super Amoled screen at 1280X800 (or something) ridiculously large.

Overclock-able? check!

Stylus input for drawing and accurate poking

Unparalleled internet browsing experience, short of a netbook.

GS3 advantages IMO are only

faster CPU and native ICS. For the new flagship Samsung phone, I expected better. when i say faster cpu, i mean via benchmarks. real life usage, not so noticeable. Actually i don't even know if i consider ICS an advantage. Its not like i hate Gingerbread, however some people treat it like the second coming of Christ.

overlook that and you will be overjoyed with the Note, either version.

Like home PC's, invest in screen real estate, cuz that's what you'll have to deal with more than anything.
