I haven't seen this but feel free to blast me if I missed it here somewhere but I have a small issue with the phone. In my call logs I set it to view by "all calls", and but as soon as I leave and come back it has reverted back to "all logs". Nothing I do will keep it save as such. I appreciate any help and sorry if I missed anything in another thread.

Hey, it depends where you are located...

ffor example, I have 2. I don't like Chunky cases so I when for an 0.3mm thick one that is barely there and is just 2.99 free delivery in the UK, I found on ebay, as well from the same seller I got one that is like an Ipad smartcover, pretty nice!

Here is the link if you want to check:

Reading through the forum will be a good idea, and you need to give a bit more info on what you really want from the case and protector.

I am running nottachtrix4g 1.3.1, and ubuntop. I am currently using webtop+ and I can't install anything on synaptic. It's because I can't click the apply button, What do I do?

NOTE: I AM TRYING TO INSTALL OPEN OFFICE, IF THIS IS THE WRONG WAY CAN YOU TELL ME?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
You have to "mark" packages for install in Synaptic first. Also, the Ubuntop OP has instructions for installing openoffice if you read through it. I would suggest you read up on Synaptic so you know how it works.
[HTC One X] pwnerman:
Hello one x users,

Sorry to bother you guys but I just bought a international one x off a guy in the marketplace and I have some questions. First off my main question.

I know I obviously bought a international one x. The one I have is a t-mobile international version. Pretty sure it's a German model. Now my brother also has a international one x that he bought from Espansys. It has no carrier stuff like mine so it must be directly from HTC.

Do these phones have any differences? Is the model I have sim locked to t-mobile in Europe? Thanks for your help
[HTC One X] Mantenner:
Ok, yours is exactly the same asbhis because it is the global version and they both have the quad core as far as I know. The only one x that is different is the at&t version and that is a quicker device packing a dual core. The only difference between the at&t and global is the processor (number of cores) if you want to.be sure, download an app called quadrant benchmark and check your phones statistics and then your brothers and that's how you can tell if they are the same. As for the locked network, it appears that you may be locked. If you go to change networks just ask the person about whether the sim will work or not in the phone (preferably at the official retailing store of the carrier) and they should be able to tell you :)
[HTC One X] pwnerman:
i dont think its worth jumping on a plane and going to a European t mobile store and ask lol. Does anyone else here know anything about how european sell phone companies work? Do they lock their phones.
[HTC One X] Mantenner:
No lol that's not worth it, what I'm saying is ask the person at the store where you're buying the new micro sim
[HTC One X] pwnerman:
i doubt if any sales person here in the USA will have the answer. even at a t mobile store lol
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You'll have to try it. Some carriers Simlock the phones.

Somebody on here said they unlocked for about 5 bucks.

The other difference is that carriers tend to release firmware updates later than HTC (or not at all)
[HTC One X] walaway:
Check cid and software number.

You can scour the forums for more information about this

[HTC One X] pwnerman:
what does this tell me? sorry i dont know lol
[HTC One X] FlashcRR:
Hi, just a stupid question perhaps, but how do you check which One X do you have? I heard there are a couple of them. Some with the Tegra 3 chip and others don't have the Tegra chip. How can I check and how many different ones are there. The reason I'm asking is becuase I want to ROM but on the threads it says it's not avail for the Tegra 3 international one yet, also there are apps on the TegraZone that says it doesn't support my device. Not sure how to check this. Thought all of them had the Tegra chip. Any help/info would be much appreciated :)
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
why don't you just get another sim card and try it....

it probably will be sim locked though. most networks lock em.
[HTC One X] seanicca:
I got mine from Orange UK and it came network locked, I bought a unlock code off eBay for £3
[HTC One X] HessNL:
This is easy just install a other software and you're phone lock wil disappear I had it to with my t-mobile Samsung galaxy 3

And now I can use everything but I have the HTC one x now :p

---------------------------------------
[HTC One X] mibikin:
I have a question also and this seems like a good place to ask. If I look at what my CID and brand are, it says HTC_044 for CID, and the brand it says htc_asia_wwe. I just want to know if I will get updates when the Europe one gets it. Also, to the OP, download CID getter from the Play Store. From there, tell us what the CID is, its located on the top in the app.

[Nexus 7 General] kwonyewest:
Like most of you here, I preordered a 8GB Nexus 7 from the Google Play Store soon after the announcement. However, when J&R had their 4th of July sale, I bought the 16GB for the same price (free shipping + no tax) and canceled my Google Play order.

Yesterday, I got a shipping notification from the Google Play Store so I called today to see if I could refuse shipping, and the customer service representative told me interesting news regarding the warranty:

He said if I ordered from a retailer other than Google, all warranty claims would be handled directly by ASUS. That could mean shipping to/from and a wait for your device to get repaired.

However, if you order from Google, all warranty claims will be handled by Google, and they will ship an advanced-replacement no questions asked with free shipping of your old tablet.

Thought I'd share with the community this information. This news is enough for me to just accept my Google Play order and cancel my J&R order considering this is a first-generation device which could have some manufacturing bugs in it.

EDIT:

There are varying reports of whether or not this is true. What IS true is that without this written on paper, this statement by the CS rep is worthless. Worth giving a call and finding out for yourself. Hopefully it's true.

This reminds me: I bought the Nexus One from Google way back and the repair process was done completely through Google, not HTC. They sent me a new one and I put the old one in the box and shipped it back for free, just like this CS rep said for the Nexus 7. Just another hint that this may be true based on past experiences.
[Nexus 7 General] smirkis:
I was told the same, which is why I didn't go to gametop and cancel my GPS preorder. Google rep assured me its worth the wait
[Nexus 7 General] jrmatics:
Wow interesting, now I'm really not minding the wait
[Nexus 7 General] SirWill:
Wow, if this is true that is indeed great news for those of us STILL waiting. Interesting however they mention free shipping, no questions asked.... when we can't get our questions answered about when we will get it, and we paid $14 2 day shipping.... LOL
[Nexus 7 General] kwonyewest:
It's good to know you got that information too. I'm a little skeptical about information told my customer service reps, especially with the whole shipping confirmation fiasco this past week. I'm sure they're well-intentioned, but some might just be misinformed.
[Nexus 7 General] hawleyncsu:
Hmmm this is very interesting information. I have a order from Google that should arrive shortly, however I jumped at the opportunity to buy one from Sam's club. The Sam's club one was 20 cheaper, but it might be worth that to just deal with Google if there is a problem. Decisions decisions.
[Nexus 7 General] Tomatoes8:
Why not just get bestbuy to price match J&R or Sam's club if you can wait? Best buy is great for price matching and no hassle returns. In Canada at least. Not as crazy a return policy as Costco where you can literally take a crap on the product and if you ***** enough they will issue a full refund but pretty close.
[Nexus 7 General] Character Zero:
From the Google Play website :

Nexus 7 limited warranty

The Nexus 7 is manufactured by ASUSTeK Computer Inc. ASUS provides a limited 12 month warranty for the Nexus 7. Please refer to the warranty card in the Nexus 7 packaging or ASUS for details on the ASUS limited warranty.

It seems that ASUS is handling all warranty claims. Also Google Play only has a 15 day return policy. Unless they are doing something different from what is on the website. I would think the GP and retail packaging is the same, so the warranty information contained in the box would also be the same.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
Great for those in the US, wonder how well it works for other country's, google certainly don't see the easiest people to get hold of if you live in the UK.

I'd rather buy from a store where I can actually take it back if there's a problem without having to deal with shipping it to another country.
[Nexus 7 General] wildklymr:
Don't ask, don't tell.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>However, if you order from Google, all warranty claims will be handled by Google, and they will ship an advanced-replacement no questions asked with free shipping of your old tablet.

No offense, but unless it's in writing, it's worthless. Whatever a CS rep say over the phone is suspect when he's trying to dissuade you from cancelling an order.

Google has no service center, so it can't handle warranty claims. It's common sense that Asus would handle it, which is what it says on the N7 warranty card. In writing.

Ditto for the "advance cross-ship" claim. Call whatever Google's tech-supp number, say you've got a bum unit, and ask for cross-ship. Find out firsthand. IMO, I doubt it.
[Nexus 7 General] hawleyncsu:
so I just called into google and the rep did alot of researching for me. Basically there is no difference. With Google, you have a 15 day period. I bought through Sams, so I have a 30 day return period. After that it is all covered equally through ASUS.

He actually said that the exact process for handling claims under the 1 year warrenty hasnt been fully worked out by Google and Asus. He said that you would return to your manufacturer and they would instruct you on the return process. With them it would be mailing it in "at little or no cost to you". He said eventually it would all come back to them. He said that the google play store was just one of their distribution routes, and isnt treated differently than the other.

When I bought the device from Sams club I added on a 2 year warranty (3 total) through them, so I should be good to go.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>With Google, you have a 15 day period. I bought through Sams, so I have a 30 day return period.

Yep, always buy through a retailer, preferably a B&M one. Retailers exist for a reason: they're best equipped to deal with end users. Manufacturers aren't. You get better warranty terms, and more buyer protection from a retailer.

Plus, if push comes to shove, you can go into the store and make a scene. You can't do that over the phone or through e-mail when dealing with the manufacturer. They can tell you "tough luck," and you have little recourse. You can sue in small claims, but that's a hassle most people won't try.
[Nexus 7 General] meno73:
I was told the same thing by Google yesterday after waiting on hold for close to an hour to chew someone out lol but after I heard that I semi calmed me down and now I'm kinda alright with the wait.
[Nexus 7 General] kwonyewest:
I could totally see them starting this specifically because of the dissatisfaction of their customers right now. I can't even imagine how many calls they must've gotten to cancel an order.
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
I just got off the phone with Google and I grilled the guy about the warranty for a good 10 minutes. He confirmed that there will in fact be advance replacements shipped out for all warranty claims. He also made mention of reduced costs for repairs should we damage our N7s. This right here is good enough for me, when mine arrives from Google Play, I will be returning the one I bought at ABT Electronics.
[Nexus 7 General] denimjunkie82:
So to summarize your actions:

- you buy from GP

- you buy another from ABT, and intend to refuse your GP version because you don't want to wait a few more days, thus costing Google money to process your return

- you "grill" Google's customer service for 10 minutes (mind you, just to obtain warranty information. Not like they are trying to screw you out of your money like cable or wireless companies).

- you now decide to keep the GP version when it arrives, and return your ABT version, thus costing ABT money to process your return

That's pretty selfish behavior IMO. It's all within your rights, but I certainly don't want to be on the other end dealing with customers like you. This type of behavior is also the reason why return policies get restricter over time, causing everyone to suffer for the actions of a few.
[Nexus 7 General] smirkis:
you'd be lucky if they take it back. GameStop assured me when I open it, its mine for life.

waiting isn't that bad, development is slow right now anyway
[Nexus 7 General] Rich_RH:
Trust me, they'll say whatever to get you off the line.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>GameStop assured me when I open it, its mine for life.

Retailers have different return policies for electronics. Best to check them before buying. Gamestop's policy is 30-day exchange, no refunds. Abt is 15-day exchange or refund (less 15% restocking).

>He confirmed that there will in fact be advance replacements shipped out for all warranty claims.

I've only seen advance cross-ship (what I call VIP service) on high-margin items, typically for business users, where service/support is a key selling point. N7 is a low-margin consumer device. Experience says that you won't get VIP treatment for a Walmart-type item.

Rather than asking the CS rep, you have an N7 in hand, so just call Google's 800 number and claim warranty service. Claim it's broken, and you want cross-ship. Do a dry run. See if they actually do it, and if they differentiate between those sold from Google Play and retailers.
[Nexus 7 General] hawleyncsu:
I have a 30 day return policy with Sam's club. Tomorrow my nexus 7 from the play store should arrive. No clue which I'm going to keep.
[Nexus 7 General] hunter3160:
i Might just get my warranty from squaretrade it should around $49 which covers all damage to the product if they cant fix it they will send you check for the amount of the product. im going to ask the rep ahead of time through email if i root the device will that void my warranty with them or not will let you guys know if anyone else is wondering the same thing
[Nexus 7 General] Clienterror:
I got one from Sam's club also and one coming in the mail....looks like my GF scored a new nexus 7 tomorrow which is good cause she won't get off mine lol.

Kinda funny cause she told a girl at work that I already had one and she was getting hers Monday or Tuesday and she was like "How the hell did he get one before they're out?". Sam's club isn't just for buying 15lb jars of peanut butter and 100 rolls of toilet paper.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
I would be interested in whatever you find out!
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
Cool.
[Nexus 7 General] Phoenix84118:
That was NOT my experience. When my N1 had problems, I had to deal with HTC, and they sent me a refurb (don't remember if shipping was free or not), which itself broke later. I remember this pretty well, as I was arguing with them on the phone about that. They said, "Our refurbs are just like new, you won't notice a scratch".

I got my through Google, since at the time that was the ONLY place to get it.
[Nexus 7 General] FiveOhFour:
What do yall think the chances are that whatever units are out there in dist. channels are part of a "defective" batch and that whatever google play is sending out is a newer and updated batch that isnt defective as some seem to be claiming. It sounds a little off to me but this would play a role in my decision which to keep, or if i should even accept the google play order tomorrow, although now seeing that gamestop doesnt take returns at all is a bummer, although having been a manager in retail electronics chains im confident i know the proper buttons to push, worst case i will just call the DM and kiss ass for an exception.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
If there was a faulty batch google would be recalling them.

FWIW somebody on reddit posted this
[Nexus 7 General] qpqpqp:
then again if its a defect you can always walk to the store and return it and get a new one right away. most store now have a 90 days policy for returns in my areas. that's life 1/3 of the year. chances are if it's a defect it will show up within those 90 days.
[Nexus 7 General] filefly:
90 days is 1/3 of a year? :p
[Nexus 7 General] slick_rick:
I just bought the year warranty when I got it from Staples. I'll just "accidentally" drop it when that time is near and get a brand new one that is hopefully free of any manufacturing defects.
[Nexus 7 General] CharliesTheMan:
I didn't see this mentioned in the thread, but so far on some warranty claims google has done a cross ship with a pre authorized charge of $249.99 on the credit card for the tablet in two cases with people I knew.

They hold the balance on the card and release it when they receive the tablet back or charge it when they haven't received it by a certain time period.

Don't know if this is permanent policy but it's how it's being handled now so I thought I would mention that, it was just like the CSR said it would be with the exception of it wasn't mentioned that you had to put up the money on hold until hey received the tablet and confirmed the warranty was valid and wasn't damage that was customer induced.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>I didn't see this mentioned in the thread, but so far on some warranty claims google has done a cross ship with a pre authorized charge of $249.99 on the credit card for the tablet in two cases with people I knew.

Yep, OP was right, but it's not usual. It's very rare to see a sub-$500 consumer item getting cross-ship RMA, let alone a $200 one with zero margins.

Some may attribute this to Google's generosity, but it's more likely that they're still staffing up their retail support, and are still using their policy from the (phone) Nexus models. At $500-600 a pop, the volumes are much lower and such VIP treatment was still doable. It's not doable for a high-volume item like the N7 where the target market is the Walmart crowd. It's a major money loser. I don't expect the perk to survive beyond this first wave.

The CC hold is SOP for advance RMA. You think they would ship stuff for free and hope you will ship the other one back whenever you feel up to it?
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
So how many of the people that have ordered from the Play Store & received a defective device have had these hold charges placed on their credit card?

I'd feel like, in most situations if you have a credit card attached to your Google Play account, wouldn't it make more sense to just charge the card after the device hadn't been returned on time? Rather than holding the money for the entire 2 week process?
[Nexus 7 General] Huey85:
Just ordered my replacement from the Play Store and I've got a temp holding charge of $299AU for the replacement unit until I have my original faulty unit returned to Google via their RMA process. Called on Saturday morning, received email straight after saying a Specialist would email me, Specialist emailed me last night and I ordered the replacement straight after receiving the email - got confirmation of shipping about 3 hours ago.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Kinda messed up they're putting holds on people's money for their faulty units.
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
I don't blame them for holding money. Especially with them shipping a new one before receiving the defective one.
[Nexus 7 General] nooomoto:
I saw another user on the forum saying he was sent a new unit and a box to return his defective unit to Google. This is good news. I just went through a 2 month battle attempting to get my HTC ONE X (international) repaired by HTC America, they ended up giving me the AT&T variant. I was sore about it until I realized I have LTE in my area.

That being said, from now on I won't be buying anything other than Nexus devices straight from Google when possible. I was almost ready to give up on Android handsets as even with the highest-end flagship devices the manufacturers seem to be severely lacking in the QC department. The Nexus 7 has renewed my faith.
[Nexus 7 General] Scythe024:
I didn't read into the warranty by Asus, but I know normally Asus devices include a 1 year accidental warranty. I would hope since Asus is handling the claims they continue with this even though the devices doesnt display the company name. I may have to look into this.

Edit: looks like it does NOT include accidental damage like some other devices made by the company
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Meh, as far as I'm concerned I'd rather them send the pre-paid postage and have me ship my defective unit back first before receiving the new one, rather than having them hold $250.
[Nexus 7 General] Harry GT-S5830:
Excellent news :D
[Nexus 7 General] jacewt:
Just for reference, Amazon does kindle fire warranty replacements by shipping a new one out right away. They do not charge you or place a hold on your credit card. They give you thirty days to send back the faulty one and then they will charge you if they do not receive it by then.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
So has the difference between Gamestop & other third party resellers and Google Play after the 30 day "grace period" been established? Do reseller orders go through Google or ASUS?
