[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Before you go and dish out the money for a jig or j-tag service, try following these steps...

Actually, real quick I'd like to throw in this Pit file and this Tar file that you'll want to use. They are the files that will take you back to actual out of the box stock, which is 2.1 (eclair). Now to the steps... For real this time ;)...

Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!

1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.

2.) Remove your battery.

Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!

3.) Hold the volume buttons.

4.) Put the battery in.

5.) Put the USB in.

***You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.***​

Tried what was recommended and nothing worked. ODIN did not even recognize my phone point blank. I don't have a paypal either to order the JIT/JTAG so trying to find another alternative at the moment. Both of my spare phones are in use as well so I am basically SOL. =/

[Member-Found Deals] silvscorp:
Staples is sold out but you might still get the coupon for future use

Been looking around and not sure if this is the BEST deal but this is the best I could find.

First get this Staples coupon: (you pay $7.5 for $15 gift card)

$7.50 For A $15 Staples® Gift Card

Then Staples hasthe pre-order for the 16GB version with free shipping:

Google Nexus 7 16GB Tablet (Pre-sale Only)

Once you add the order into the cart, you'll see it says expected delivery is 7/12-17. You can apply the gift card at the checkout for a net of $7.5 saving.

Note: Just found out that this is not an instant discount. After you purchase, they'll send you the gift card by mail and then you can use it to redeem at staples.com.

Additional note: I found the coupon through bigcrumbs.com For those who doesn't know about this site, it's the 100% legit cash back site supports tons of vendor online. Below are the available cash back it offers for the vendors that sells Nexus 7:

Office Depot - up to 4.2% you can use following free item coupon (not sure if you can combine them all)

336010166 - Large Beach Tote Bag or Burt's Bees Head/Toe Kit

823541225 - Dane Butter Cookies

156437297 - Free Mystery Gift

595897257 - $15 Gas card

Adorama - up to 2.8%

GameStop - up to 3.5%

Walmart - up to 2.8% cashback (crrently pre-order only)

MacMall - up to 2.8% cashback

If Best Buy ever decide to sell the Nexus 7, the bigcrumbs offers 4.2% cash back.

Again, if you want to get cash back, you must sign up with bigcrumbs.com and find vendor in the site and go through its own links.
[Member-Found Deals] cchant:
Just remember that if you have a Staples in your state you have to pay taxes.

This deal would still cost me about 270$
[Member-Found Deals] silvscorp:
yea tax is the big killer.. but at least free shipping. too bad I missed out on the J&R deal someone else posted.

Staples' expected delivery date is interesting. Not sure if this implies delivery for all pre-orders or this is for Staples only.

Anyone pre-ordered Nexus 7 from Staples.com ?

I am seeing this in my order status.

We're sorry, but problems with your order may prevent us from delivering it on time.
[Member-Found Deals] Censura_Umbra:
That is probably because Google told everyone to wait until they said so
[Member-Found Deals] silvscorp:
this last minute hold is messing up those vendor's check out process. The word is most places will start taking new per-order and shipping again next week.

Updated some free item coupon on 1st page you can use on your office depot order.

walmart is starting the pre-order as well with less than $1 shipping. see 1st post for details.

For months now the screen is going crazy, pulsating ghosts, let it rest for months and started the other day and does the same, impossible to manipulate the screen.

They open their own programs, sometimes the screen does not respond.

Anyway that is just not to do with it, and that cost me 315€. :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Brad387:
As you can see in the picture above, the new Google Nexus 7 features some pretty cool looking widgets which show your media on the Play Store plus recommended apps and other downloads. It looks rather slick and I think would be great for our rather media-orientated Galaxy Notes, which are only a little bit smaller than the Nexus 7 devices after all. I was wondering whether it is possible to obtain these widgets for our Galaxy Notes. Anyone know of a way?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] mattitude:
if you search this very same forum (themes and apps) for jelly bean market you can download and install the .apk file... same one used on the nexus tablet... when you install this .apk it also includes the new widgets you desire... only problem is they're sized for a tablet so they come in 7x4 or something like that... however if you use apex or nova as your launcher you can resize your home screen to a 7x7 layout... get the widget set up and then resize it to fit a 5x5 or 4x5 whatever your desire maybe... hope this helps

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] derrickmd18:
Im looking at the s2 and the s3 i live in Baltimore md. I know there is 4g winmx here because I had the galaxy s a long time ago on sprint. But im going back to sprint from boost because of the unlimited data. Well i was reading and the s3 says is just on 3g until LTE comes out. Well i wanted to know which is the better deal? Or when will lte come out? I had clear and was getting ****ty service in my area so i don't know if that was winmx or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qubanaso:
honestly I wouldnt take the S3 if I had a choice because there isn't too much of an upgrade over the S2, others might not think so but oh well, if u can get the s2 without a ck tract do so I'm waiting till next year to upgrade and grab the next best thing :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
I also agree I would much rather have wimax then the slightly upgraded hardware. A lot of phone's are starting to make there way to quad core that is what I am really holding out for.

You should be able to get one cheap

If you don't want a contract, but want 4G WiMax and are on Boost, why not just go for the Evo Design 4G on Boost, http://www.boostmobilestore.com/bpdirect/boost/PhoneList.do?action=view&id=evodesign ?

I'm Baltimore, Md but Yea both are cool but
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edufur:
Hold off until LTE availability. If everyone does this, it will make them work faster and harder to bring it to us. Plus, by that time, the price of your phone will likely be $99 vs. $199.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kchitown1977:
I went to a sprint store today. Tried to pay full price for s3. And customer service rep. Said that they can't sell phone without contact. Also went to best buy and radio Shack. And price w/o contract is 100 bucks more than retail

Because after 2gb it's throttled to 3g.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanrcks95:
I am starting this to basically find out how durable a Ace is. Now i want people to tell me when they got their Ace, how have they handled it, what hardware/external damages are there and what software damages are there. Now i will start with my Ace.

I bought it on the 1st of April (haha), and that means i have had it for nearly 1year and 3months. At first i took great care of it, i treated it as though it was made out of feathers, but that was just in the first 3months. in the last year i treated it how i wanted threw it around didnt take much care for it.

The physical issues that have come up is the sides of the Ace have lost their "chrome" effect and have a lot of scratches on them, the screen has a chip and crack and the screen itself is getting a bit faded.

Software wise, i have updated it a lot and flashed a lot of ROMs onto it but it seems to be working just as well when i bought it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admiralspeedy:
Quality

I've had mine for pretty close to a year now, and it's durable.

I don't throw mine around or anything, and I really don't know why anyone does, but I have dropped it on multiple different surfaces by accident.

The screen is basically in perfect shape, because of the Guerrilla Glass, I have even tried scratching it intentionally with a knife, keys and rough surfaces after I realized how tough it was, and it still doesn't have a mark.

Now, it does have a crack running from the bottom left corner across the settings touch button to the bottom of the screen, but not on the screen. This crack can be seen in most light, but you have to look closely to see it really, and it only happened because I was carrying a metal bottle full of water and I accidentally swung it back into the outside of my pocket and it hit the phone with the bottom edge which was quite sharp, and cracked it. It took a lot of force though.

The chrome band around the phone has some nicks and scratches and paint chips on it, but nothing too bad, and that is because I think it's just plastic coated in shiny paint.

All in all, I'd give the phone a 9/10 for durability, since I hate screen protectors and have never needed one for this phone.

Try to look after it but obviously i have dropped it quite a few times.

But i think in durability i give it a 9/10 !
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 121C4:
I've had mine for a year now. I have the same cover as OP too. I hardly use the cover because the phone feels better without it but accidental drops have scuffed and chipped the outer edge. I have a tiny crack in the screen and since then I use screen protectors. They are tricky to put on but worth it IMHO. The battery isn't great on the ace as we all know and mine is getting worse so I keep a spare in case I go somewhere where I can't charge it. Inside it runs better and better the more I read xda! :D

Now if any of you have had your ace badly damaged and you have pics and the story behind please post them it will help us see the weaknesses in the ace.

Thanks, search for heimdal for Linux returned a link on galaxys3root.com (sorry, XDA is refusing to let me post the full link) and I downloaded the image from downloadandroidrom.com. This includes heimdall_1.3.2_i386.deb. So now I'm working on this. So far, every time I reboot into recovery I get the stock <3e> recorvery console that refuses to load the unsigned ClockworkMod image, but will keep working on it.

No joy unfortunately. I use heimdall to upload the recovery image:

and it says "RECOVERY upload successful" but then when I reboot to the recovery menu, it's the stock Android one not ClockworkMod. Any ideas?

Solved! The cure is to run:

then reboot by taking the battery out and putting it back in again. I then held down volume-up, power, and home as it booted, though I don't know if this last part is necessary.
