[Nokia Lumia 900] danmoz98:
I would have thought any distribution agreement would be between the manufacturer and the retailer. Ie, I'm sure Carphone Warehouse et al have agreements with Nokia to sell their handsets, which it would appear they do as they're advertising them.

Likewise they obviously have agreements with the networks to sell their services.

What network those retailers choose to sell those handsets on should entirely be up to the retailer should it not? At least, you would expect that to be the case.

If they want to sell one product together with another product I don't see how anyone else has a say in it.

ETA:

Well, it seems the poster who received the email about a dispute between O2 and Nokia has had another response from Phones4U;

"I fear my being a pain is the only way to get a response - a senior account manager has phoned to apologise for the email I got (copied above), apparently its complete rubbish and shouldn't have been sent.

He's going to call me tomorrow, with an update from P4Us discussions with o2 & Nokia - even if its a "we've heard nothing". He's also going to try and clarify the position on the freebies...

Ain't going to stop me asking awkward question, especially of o2... or indeed copying tech twitter feeds into my disgruntlement.

I'm normally an easy customer - I pay my bills, I deal with most problems myself... I really don't like poor customer service though!"
[Nokia Lumia 900] redwhiteandblue:
Danmoz,

I've been following the threads on the O2 and P4U forums and I'm as frustrated as you are. I've been happy with O2 for 15 years but if I can't get the 900 I have to decide whether to settle for an 800 or switch network.

I don't understand why O2 would refuse to stock Nokia's flagship phone if they already sell the 710 and 800? That doesn't really seem to make sense unless it really is just a stock issue.

I was told in a P4U store that the reason they couldn't sell me a phone on O2 was because O2 were having some sort of trouble with their software and couldn't get the 900 to work with it or something. Sounded phoney just like all their other excuses. I suspect they never were able to sell them on O2 and have only had them exclusively until the 27th on other networks, perhaps on the 28th both retailers will then have them for O2 but P4U don't want to admit that.
[Nokia Lumia 900] AndyFZ1S:
I had one on order from phones4u O2 on&on since 12th April, But after them letting me down with excuse after excuse & not getting any valid reasons I have now cancelled, There is no point promising a delivery date when O2 know nothing about it all, Having to suffer a Lumia 800 for now until I can buy a 900 sim free for the right price lol. :rolleyes:
[Nokia Lumia 900] danmoz98:
The poster on the P4U forum says Phones 4 U are now going back to the 'it's in testing at O2' excuse and say they 'should be complete by 26th - 27th'.

I suspect that P4U had exclusivity for a week and fulfilled their orders for other networks first and are now awaiting new stock. It's also possible that other retailers will be able to sell it from the 28th onwards but none of them will dmit this. P4U don't want to admit it in case people cancel and go elsewhere, CPW don't want to admit it in case people cancel and try to get it earlier from P4U.

CPW have claimed they are just waiting on stock and I'm more inclined to believe them after all the BS excuses P4U have come out with so far.

Also, that excuse about 'trouble with software' from P4U, how so exactly? It's a glorified Lumia 800, if the 800 works fine on O2 why wouldn't the 900?
[Nokia Lumia 900] redwhiteandblue:
The interesting thing to note is the post from someone from O2 who said that O2 themselves will not have the 900 but "you can get this through the CPW if you wish". Why not "you can get this through P4U or CPW if you wish"? Is the whole thing just P4U telling customers anything they can think of to stop them cancelling and going to their competitor?
[Nokia Lumia 900] danmoz98:
Maybe the dispute is with O2 and P4U and P4U arehoping people will choose another network. CPW could have no such issue and be well on track to ship for 28th

Meanwhile, O2 Germany will be stocking it next week;

[Nokia Lumia 900] Peew971:
I think you all missed a crucial piece of information that was given 2 weeks ago, which is that the Lumia 900 (not just the white one) is exclusive to Phones4u until May 27th.

On that basis there is nothing wrong happening here with other shops and networks not stocking the phone. On a side note, many people don't know that if you go instore rather than online, you can get it sim free from P4u (£459) or even on PAYG. As for the issue with O2, I know they were in some sort of dispute with Nokia so I wouldn't know if/when this will be sorted. Maybe time for a change of provider :)

[Nokia Lumia 900] danmoz98:
Just received email confirmation from CPW that my order has been dispatched;

Thank you for ordering from The Carphone Warehouse.

We've processed your order and we'll be dispatching it from our warehouse very soon. You can track the progress of the delivery using the link below:

If P4U had exclusivity until the 27th why did they not just tell their customers that and why did they not fulfill any orders on O2? Why all the lies about O2 testing it, O2 and Nokia dispute, CPW 'talking rubbish' about having it out for delivery this Monday?
[Nokia Lumia 900] Peew971:
This Monday is the 28th ;)
[Nokia Lumia 900] danmoz98:
That doesn't answer my question?

If Phones 4 U had exclusivity then;

1) Why did Phones 4 U not fulfill any O2 orders?

2) Why are Phones 4 U claiming that O2 are testing the handset and it won't be released on O2 until this is complete

3) Why did Phones 4 U claim there is a dispute between Nokia and O2 meaning the handset couldn't be sold on the O2 network

4) Why are Phones 4 U saying that Carphone Warehouse are 'talking rubbish' that they (CPW) will be sending out orders for delivery on the 28th?

Does that make more sense? These seem rather underhand tactics for a large retailer such as Phones 4 U and I would be surprised if they weren't libellous.
[Nokia Lumia 900] AndyFZ1S:
@ danmoz98, did you receive your Lumia 900 from CPW yet? I managed to order one and got similar email saying its been despatched today Mon 28th, Just interested to see if I get mine tomorrow, Was saying in stock for O2 orders on the website so fingers crossed.
[Nokia Lumia 900] redwhiteandblue:
Went into a CPW store today and they say they can do it on O2 according to their system, they don't have them in store yet but can order them. I want to hear that somebody on O2 has one in their possession first!
[Nokia Lumia 900] danmoz98:
Yes, mine arrived this afternoon. Quite happy with it, the screen looks so much nicer than my HD7.

One thing MS really needs to sort out on WP7 is some form of app manager. When migrating from my HD7 to the Lumia it was a right pain in the ass trying to find the correct apps I had paid for. I have some vague recollection there's a 3rd party app that does this but damned if I can remember what it's called.

Also, my Lumia 900 is only 16Gb so I guess we have to wait till the german release to see if that rumour is true.
[Nokia Lumia 900] redwhiteandblue:
My girlfriend tells me that there were in fact queues outside one of the CPW stores in London today for this phone and people were able to walk out with them (after paying for them, obviously).
[Nokia Lumia 900] AndyFZ1S:
@ danmoz98 The app I use to get my apps back is reinstaller which is free and works quite well, Glad you are happy with it, Still waiting for mine but just got a text from CPW saying its on its way.

Just been delivered and ordered it Sunday night so not bad going, Hats off to CPW for actually providing it, Phones 4u can fester in their own nothingness, Phone is nicer than I thought and not too heavy, Couple of extra settings for calls and sms and of course Tango installed, Time will tell if it's as good as the Titan and Lumia 800.

All the add on features from power button just stick when I power off and choose restart it sticks choose recovery it sticks all the add on menu options for powering just stick on screen have to pull battery to trun off or manual rec mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cjsspape:
Wipe cache manuallyin CWM and it'll fix it. As for pulling the battery just press and hold the power button and it'll force restart.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NightHawkUndead:
If that doesn't fix it, flash another rom that has it working. Some so called "developers" refuse to say their rom has "bugs", but in fact has this bug and more. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cjsspape:
That's true for some roms. I'm using the Team Perfection Rom and some people think its a bug on that one. It happened to me even, but if ya wipe all cache manually it will fix it 100%
[HTC Wildfire S] lynuxlover:
For some time now i've been testing other peoples roms such as the mindhaxor rom and everything works (pretty much) but now i'm on the CM7.2-RC1 Rom and can't seem to integrate this back into the rom,

any help is much appreciated.
[HTC Wildfire S] lynuxlover:
Before any one says anything I'm sure that this is in the right area as it does equate to development of the android rom. :o or I could be wrong :(

Already available the first version of Theme Sense 4. For any suggestions you have, this is the official post-->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1548618, said the errors and I will help. The theme chooser still doesn't work 100% (not my fault, Cyanogen and team AOKP fix it) so that no negative vote possible failures in the theme.

You must be root, and have a rom based on CyanogenMod 9 or AOKP

I am working very hard and quickly update it. I hope you enjoy!!

Added free version (TRIAL VERSION): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wiY29tLkJsYWNrRHViLnRoZW1lLlNlbnNlNHRyaWFsIl0.

For the white version, you have to wait a bit, the theme chooser (created by the Cyanogen team) does not support changing text colors (primary), as is the possibility, the theme will be available in white.

If you get the following error "Sorry, this theme is missing assets for your device's screen size" hit apply anyways

If you get the following error "This theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied" Apply the System Theme, Restart your device and try applying again

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
Hi everyone,

Pretty much ready to cry here.

Here's my story:

I have unlocked and rooted my phone, and it was working fine since March. I decided to try a new ROM (AOPK instead of APEX) today , and put it onto my SD card. In Clockwork recovery mode, I wiped my "data factory reset", as well as "wipe cache and partition". After that I installed AOPK. It was very buggy (crashing all the time), so I decided to get rid of it and go back to APEX.

I then found that there's a newer version of APEX than the one I had, so I decided I'd copy that from my computer and give it a shot.

HOWEVER, now when I plug my phone into the computer, the USB device is not recognized by windows!!!

I've tried everything to get the drivers installed properly. I've read every thread I can find on the internet. I've tried to use the WugFresh GalaxyNexusToolKit to install the drivers like I did when I first unlocked and rooted the phone. I've tried installing drivers from all sorts of sites and forums.

Nothing is working. I can't access the phone through USB at all. It won't show up in My Computer.

I'd really appreciate if someone can help walk me through this.

Thanks so much for your help.

Turn off "fast charge".

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShredEight02:
+1

It took me the longest time to finally realize that a month or so ago. Gave me the biggest headache because I thought it was on my computer's end, trying to reinstall the USB drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
Thanks for the responses guys.

However, I'm back to using APEX rom, and there is no fast charge option that I can see.

Also, I went back to AOKP rom to make sure that it was deselcted, and it is. After that, I reinstalled the APEX rom.

thanks guys, any other suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Also check the storage option in the settings and make sure that MTP connection is selected (click on the three dots in the top right or bottom right I dont remember). I was worried once that my device wasnt syncing either and found out that it was because of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
What kernel are you running?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rollerdyke44:
^ This

i also wasted a couple of hours trying to fix up my pc :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
MTP was always selected.

Kernel version "3.0.18-imoseyon-1.8.0-04373-gc91166d imoseyon@ubuntu #361"

Thanks for the suggestions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
When you plug it in does it make the noise? Can you see it under device manager with a yellow exclamation point?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
imoseyon also has a "fast charge" option, maybe someone else more knowledgeable than myself can explain how (if any) it differs then the version baked in ROMs. I just know that the franco/imoseyon control app has the option and so does certain ROMs, I dont know if they are independent of each other.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
To turn off fast charge, open a terminal and type:

su

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
Once plugged in, I do here a typical windows "dun-dun" sound. It is listed in device manager as "Unknown Device" with a yellow exclamation mark.

Silly question: How exactly do I open up a terminal. I googled it, but I'm getting a lot of complicated instructions that have to do with the Android SDK. Is this what I should be doing?

Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Download terminal emulator from play store. This will do the job nicely

*other similar apps are available*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
At this point, I'd be happy to even format my computer and completely wipe my phone so that's the SD card is clear and its back to the day I bought it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As killyouridols said, Terminal Emulator works just fine.

1) Download, install and open the app.

2) Type in the following commands once the app is open:

su

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge

3) Now trying plugging your device into your computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Also be sure you are trying to use a usb data cable. I know I have a few "power only" cables laying around that sometimes find their way into my backpack.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
Thanks for the suggestions again.

I tried the Terminal Emulator, typing in:

su [ENTER]

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge [ENTER]

Then I get a message: "No such file or directory".

Here's the exact text of everything I tried....

app_76@android:/ $ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

app_76@android:/ $ su

nel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge <

sh: cannot create /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge: No such file or directory

1|app_76@android:/ # su

nel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge <

sh: cannot create /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge: No such file or directory

1|app_76@android:/ #

Also, I've been using the original cable that came with the phone.

Anything else guys?

PS: on a related note, I also have a Motorolla car charger. It now only charges randomly, whereas it would charge every single time previously, and worked fine. I don't know how, but it seems things really got shook up by installing the AOPK rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Sorry, I didn't see this comment before.

If it shows up in device manager, then just update the driver: right-click on the yellow exclamation and select update driver, then search for the driver, by navigating to the directory you have it downloaded.

P.S., you do have USB Debugging enabled, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
The device shows up in Device Manager as Unknown Device.

I tried to select the driver called in my folder called "SAMSUNG Android ADB interface". The files in this folder include Wdfcoinstaller01007.dll, WinUSBCoInstaller, and oem63.inf.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't install from this folder or its contents.

Also, the phone (as Unknown Device) keeps going away and reappearing in the Device Manager listing.

Any other tips? Thanks so much for your patience :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azlemad:
have you tried a different USB port, different cord? and if possible, a different computer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
Have tried:

The original cord only, which has always worked

Three different computers

Three different operating systems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankushkatari:
Just of out of curiosity, try jiggling the USB cable around when it is plugged in to your phone; maybe a loose connection (coming from your motorola 'car' charger) and use the original 120V USB power adapter that came with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
Tried jiggling the cord, unplug, replug. Didn't make a difference. Have always been using the original cord that came with the nexus :)

Oh by the way, I'm in Ottawa too :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
If you tried 3 diff computers with 3 different OS's, the problem is definitly with the phone or cable. Do you have another device you can try with micro USB?

Can the GNex connect to the computers via wifi and bluetooth?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
I really think its the phone and not my cables. I've had two cables I use consistently. The stock one that came with my GNex and an old Blackberry cable that charges the phone quicker. And my car charger as well.

Previously, none of these cables ever gave me any hiccups.

It just seems that the phone really became poor at recognizing inputs, and not installing drivers or something.

Anyone come up with anything the past couple of days? Thanks guys. Couldn't find anything else online :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WabbaJ:
Do you guys think I'd be able to put the factory stock ICS 4.0.4 on my phone , and then run that to wipe my phone entirely (SD, contacts, photos, etc)? I'd be trying that through clockwork orange mod.

Would this approach relock it? Would it fix my USB connection issue? I would then format my computer to make sure it's clean and free from muddled up drivers, if all the above would happen smoothly. What do you guys think? Any mishaps you can warm me about please? Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Incredible_Infern0:
I had the same issue when I tried to root my phone. I could not get the drivers to install with the original wire it came with. I used my old cable from my Incredible and it started to work. It took like 4 hours to figure out that I just need to switch the cable.
