[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] i5aac:
Got a call from BB today also. The manager said I could come pick up my phone, and that it was sittiing there waiting for me. I dropped everything and drove down there. When I got there, it was GS3 heaven...they literally had cases of them sitting out! ....except, it turns out, 32gb Blues. So, they offered me a white 32, since I have been waiting and bugging them incessantly. "You can even bring it back whenever we get the blue ones in and exchange it no questions asked..." Fine. Proceed to set-up. The guy starts to scan the phone/SIM card and their computer said the phone was not a Verizon product. Rep calls Verizon; they don't know....told him to ask his in-store VZW rep. The in-store VZW rep says he has no idea. He calls Verizon. After a while, he/they get it figured out and we can proceed to checkout. He turns the phone on and starts the activation process....which takes forever! Turn the phone off, then back on...hangs on the activation screen. Damn. Call Verizon back. More guessing. Finally, after 2.5 hours (supposed to be 20 minutes on my lunch break...good thing I have a lot of overtime!), they come to the conclusion that the either the BB SKU's aren't in the Verizon system because the BB automated inventory won't kick them over to Verizon until the 12th, or Verizon wasn't scheduled to look for them until then....either way, I'm losing my patience. I tell them I don't want to come back again and they go ahead and sell me the phone, knock $100 off, and throw a new invisiSHIELD HD screen protector on. They tell me it will auto activate tomorrow morning...but we'll see. But I currently am in possession of a Marble White paperweight/32 GB microSD holder...hey, at least it looks pretty, right???
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nosympathy:
You got $100 off the phone and a free 40$? Screen protector. I don't see what the problem is. There is no reason it shouldn't activate tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] i5aac:
yea...i must say, this whole BB endeavor has left a bitter taste in my mouth,,,,but overall, the guys at my local store admitted that the S3 launch was borked from day one, and they did everything in their power to make it right. Will I continue to shop with BB? Doubtful. Will I ever pre-order a device from them? Not as long as I live!! But do I respect Andy, Josh, and Joshua on a personal level? Absolutely...and for their efforts today, I am thankful.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] quantum1:
There's no reason it shouldn't have activated in the store... both of mine did. I hope it works out.

Picking my s3 up now! I was the #1 preorder at my bb location and had an 8:30am appointment. I got gere at 8am and they were already checking out 4 other people!? WTF!?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tlegower:
I picked up mine today...though switched to a 16GB Blue instead of the 32GB Blue I had pre-ordered.

I figure, I have 30 days to go back and switch (as soon as they get the 32GB Blues in), if I decide I'd REALLY like the 32GB version.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] 1Android:
I also switched from the 32 white to the 16 white
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] chakra:
I just called my best buy, and still no GS3's for verizon. I ordered at 9am first dya, and its the friggen 12th.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zmore:
Why downgrade to 16GB?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] cincygeek:
I know my local Best Buy had them in stock on Tuesday. I was there getting my At&t S3 and they tried to sell a Verizon s3 but it would not go in the system correctly.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tlegower:
I went from 32GB to 16GB because I prefer the Blue over the White...and no stores around me had a 32GB Blue.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zmore:
Well that's just messed up right there :)

While I love my White ATT (16GB), and HATE HATE the fake-brushed-metal blue version with purple button and non-hidden back-lit leds... I'd actually switch to Blue just to the double internal storage (even though I already have 64GB external storage.)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Xhris18:
Has anyone gotten their verizon BLUE 32gb phone yet? Seems like the BB's around me have every version except the blue 32. And dont have a clue when they are supposed to get it. I even preordered on 6/12.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eyecon82:
lol..now we know why verizon is taking forever

those bastards wont to lock up the bootloader!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stumanroo:
Got mine and my price match for my discount...I need to double check...but I think they screwed up and didn't put it as a renewal...cause the register said $799 before he overrode it and entered $200. Will be interesting to see what my account says later.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] quantum1:
Wrong thread and late...

They're going to get their money from VZW, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Nopi45:
I got mine and I am loving it! Fyi they did price match the radio shack promotion for the $50 off any upgrade. So get your money people cuz it ends soon.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] IceCreaMan:
Yeap, got my $53.50 back as well from the price match. I ended up only paying $55 for the sprint sg3
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] quantum1:
Just got ~$120 back on our two VZW 16gb's with price match.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] IceCreaMan:
sweet :good:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Elite49:
Well the verizon one for radio shack just came out so I hope that lasts as long as the other two have. If not I'll be pissed.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] hcyplr29:
Yes I added a line and a family member is using it. Yes to me it's worth adding a line and getting it subsidized. And finally radio shack got some in stock in my area so I was able to price match AND I got a $50 gift card because I did make a complaint to the corporate office. The lady I spoke to was very accommodating. So I got it for $100. And I'm pretty sure you used Svoice to come up with $2400, so I'll let that slide. According to my calculations it would be $720 over 2 years. $10 for the line $20 for the data X 24 months. I canceled the insurance on my original 2 phones because one I just sold, skyrocket, and my wife's Atrix is ready to go. So that's another $15/mo I'll be saving for a grand total of a bill $15/mo more than I'm paying now. Makes perfect sense to me. I can handle it. :) Thanks for looking out for me Einstein.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] KryptosXLayer2:
I used basic calculations to come up with that figure - my cell phone bill is $100/month, and over 2 years, that's $2400. I guess it takes an Einstein to you to become a mind reader to assume that I used S Voice to do a simple calculation, but in reality, you would know that when YOU ASSume........
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] el_chupa_cabra:
just went and got my 32GB Pebble Blue from BB today. according to the manager there were only 6 total in KS, the first blue that have made it to BB atleast (all this is what he said, maybe they had some for other carriers and this was the first Verizon set that showed up), and they all went to the store in Wichita. they were doing upgrades for everyone and keeping the Unlimited 4G for those who preordered before the Verizon cutoff for it, somehow i managed to keep Unlimited 4G and Unlimited Hotspot without them doing anything. told me to watch it and let them know if it changes in the next 14 days.

so make sure they fight to keep your Unlimited data when upgrading, they can do it if they put forth the effort.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] rwc3b:
I'm having major issues with my phone and hope to exchange it at Best Buy. I have the insurance and it's been about 30 days since purchase. One issue is that it has corrupted my SD card twice already.

I shouldn't have l any problems exchanging, right?

Also, if I can exchange, do I need to return the box and accessories too?

Anyone?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pathtologos:

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] qhinton:
My best buy told me yesterday that they usually get all the preorders at once. So who ever preordered from a store they will hopefully have enough.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Chevyboxer:
Sorry it took so long had to eat.

I asked they said they only got 5-6 and that was all preorders. I was the first one to get one from the store.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mercado79:
i know i'm getting carried away now, but would someone that received an email let me know if it was from a bestbuy.com address or from simplicity. i set up my junk email address so that it forwards to my primary account, but now i'm finding myself checking both "just in case".

yes... i'm driving myself crazy.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lepapirriky:
Awesome!! I managed to leave work, now I'm driving to pick up the phone :D so excited!!

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] qhinton:
Best buy in milwaukee wisconsin the south ridge location has pre orders in. But of course I didn't order from that store I ordered from a different 1 but decided to call and harass them instead
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] screwhead728:
Pembroke Pines... man that's just a few miles away from Kendall store. They better hurry.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Chevyboxer:
Now I just gotta figure out how to enter setup again so I can get the dropbox. The BBY employee skipped over that part before I could stop him.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] danon.brown:
Did they make u unbox and turn on etc in the store? I kinda wanna do that on my own at home.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] pathtologos:
Lucky bastard! Lol. I'm still waiting.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] am1640:
crazy thing is I literally called them 20 min ago and the guy said they didn't come in and since they don't get delivery on the weekend it will probably be Monday before I get the call. So imagine my surprise when I got the email a couple min ago.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Chevyboxer:
Yeah they make you unbox it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bluesolarflare:
Not sure. Did you get an order number? I don't know if what the guy I spoke to about tracking is also applied to online orders because he said they didn't get tracking numbers for the pre-orders.

You have no idea how bitter I am... I'm assuming you went to Nashua store?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Chevyboxer:

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] djjroc007:
Ok, ordered mine from the Allen Park, MI store. I just called them and they didn't get them in yet. Guy told me they got pushed back and could be another week. So, I call both the Taylor and Dearborn MI stores, both of which are in close proximity to Allen Park, and they both said they have received them. Hopefully the AP store's truck is just late. Taylor said they just got them about twenty minutes ago. Also said they are shipping through fed ex.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bluesolarflare:
I didn't think much about them possibly coming in on Saturday. If anyone gets a call from a BB rep about their phone please let us know. I am interested in knowing if they will follow through and call lol.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] airerik:
Just got the craziest answer ever. I called up and they said they had ONE arrive for the preorders. He said he would see if it's mine and call me. He called me back and said that it cannot be sold right now because the computer system cannot pull up some information or something like that. He said the computers are slow and he's not even sure if it's my phone. He said "my manager told me to tell you that you will be notified by e-mail and phone call if your phone comes in". He said it may be mine or it may be someone else's. But they only have one! I asked him if I can just come in now and show him that I pre-ordered and get this phone. He told me they can't sell it because something about the computer system. He also said it's not likely they will receive any more today. WHAT?!!!

I pretty recently pre-ordered, so it's not looking good.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Mr Ian B:
Austin, Texas Lakeline Mall store got their pre-orders at 11:45am. Got the email and did an exchange from my Evo LTE. Peace of cake, did not set up for me which is fine and did it while waiting for lunch. They only had 10 pre-orders. Kinda low, since when I did the Evo, I was number 32 on the list. This Pebble blue color is incredible. The BB girl could not stop talking about it. Now back to work for 3 hours and then play time.

Hope everyone here gets theirs today or soon.

Case closed,

I also preordered the white s3 from bestbuy, I called about an hour ago and she told me they have SOME of of the preorders in and they will begin processing them in the system and send out emails/phone calls to let people know the pick their phone up.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverbrain:
Hi everyone!

I currently am running Glazed ICS 6-16-2012 Rom and I am attempting to understand the file folder structure within my Kindle Fire.

This comes about after playing around with different roms, and after running the TB restore, a few games I play not having the data, requiring me to start over. In an attempt to try and manually recover the data from a twrp recovery I did, I realized didn't have a good idea of the folder structure within Android. Thus I am hoping to get some clarification with the following questions. Thank you in advance for any advice.

1- what folders, if any are required on my sdcard if say I were to start with a fresh rom, with no apps installed other then what is included in the Rom? Using ES File Manager now, it looks to me like an completely unorganized folder ".estrongs, burstlyImageCache, game_cache" etc.

2- Could I copy my TB backup folder off the Kindle Fire then wipe the whole SD card, copy the TB backup back and restore to clean up excess junk folders?

3- Do apps/games put their save data wherever they chose, or is it kept in the program folder in the internal memory, /mnt/sdcard/...?

Thank you again for reading my ramble, cheers. :)

Silverbrain
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vertcam9:
1.: Usually Application you installed in SD card partition is under /mnt/sdcard/android/data/<application folder> . now this contains all the information and other data of the games, i think you can back-up this portion aside from using titanium back-up.

For application specific folder, they are usually located in /mnt/sdcard/.<appname> but this folder usually contains caches and can be deleted, since the app will just create them once run again.

2. I do not suggest to wipe your SD partition since technically this is not a standard SD card but partition part of the whole system.

Note: I'm not expert on this, but after playing around with a couple of android devices already, the structure is basically the same.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
I think (if it is a unix derivative) the /sdcard is the partition location and /mnt/sdcard is where the system finds what is there. kindle fire does it this way because there is no removable memory card, so it creates an artificial one with a partition. So, for us human types, the locations refer to the same thing. /sdcard is the partition and /mnt/sdcard is where the system mounts it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverbrain:
Thank you for the replies.

Ixthusdan- I get what you mean regarding the unix and the mnt folder, I technically cannot wipe that is it is just a spot on the internal memory.

vertcam9- I started looking around where you mentioned, and I am starting to understand a little better :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
The actual name of the partition is "media" and that's how it's identified to the system.

Where the media partition gets mounted is dependent on what gets booted. For example, TWRP will mount the media partition on /sdcard while CM7 will mount it on /mnt/sdcard and create a /sdcard symbolic link that points back to /mnt/sdcard. Most people generically will refer to the media partition as the /sdcard partition because that's what's visible on the system.

I believe the /sdcard thing is an android convention. Because many apps expect the /sdcard to be the primary "large" storage area easily accessible by the user, apps that expect to find large files... music or video files for example... will look there.

Most apps will store settings and small databases in the /data partition. I don't play many games, but someone decided to install Angry Birds on my KF. That game stores most of its files in /data/data/com.rovio.angrybirds. On the other hand, Titanium Backup will put most of its files on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup because it needs more space for backup files and because the /data partition is much more likely to get deleted when you switch ROMs, etc.

For the most part, even if you completely reformat the /sdcard partition, most of your android and app settings will remain intact because that is stored on /data.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverbrain:
kinfauns - Thank you for the extended explanation! I see what I think I need in the /data/data folder :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] broad_st_bully:
Is there a way to set the browser (stock or any other one(s)) so they go to mobile sites by default instead of the regular "desktop" ones?

or a mod?

or would I have to just bookmark the mobile sites?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
If you open your browser, then go to SETTINGS, there is an option there to "Always Check for Desktop site"....Check it and it will open most sites in normal mode.

If it doesn't open a specific site in Desktop, the Browser drop down box also has the option of "Request desktop site" by putting a check in the box.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Enzymaticracer:
On STOCK, the browsers should automatically be defaulting to opening the mobile versions of websites.

If they aren't, they have intentionally been set to request the desktop version. Simply look for that option in their settings menu then uncheck it so that the mobile sites are loaded by default.

I take a lot of pictures for work. I don't like how they all get mixed up though with my other images.

Is there a way to save work pics to a specific location when I enable my work profile in CM9?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreatBigDog:
No way to do it with CM9 profiles. About the only way I can think that could possibly do what your after is to use tasker. I don't use it myself but I hear you can set it up to do just about anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Yeah. Not sure the exact settings but I'd bet you can do it with Tasker.
