This is some really good advice. I remember being disappointed by both my Xoom and Transformer Prime because I built them up so much in my mind and hunted them down so relentlessly. You come to find out that you enjoyed the hunt and the purpose it gave you more than you enjoy the product after you built up all of those expectations.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Definitely agree. I usually check once a day. Of course, I'm trying not to freak out so much since I cancelled my 8gb and ordered a 16gb just today. Hehe...
[Nexus 7 General] sabre31:
I am still upset didn't help should I smash my Nexus against the wall when it comes in to show Google I am pissed at their shenanigans?

This is good advice for anything in life. It really is just silly the reactions we have been seeing lately.

>It really is just silly the reactions we have been seeing lately.

It's always like this for every new device launch. People revert to little kids. That's not such a bad thing. There is enough stress in life that it's good have an excuse to be a little kid once in a while. It's good to be excited and enthusiastic and rambunctious.

The toy may not be up to all the hype, but it's not that important. Good or bad, there'll be another sought-after toy to come along in a few months, and we can have another little girlie tea party. Wash, rinse, repeat. Such is the color of life, eh?

[Nexus 7 General] JustinBP:
I enjoy the waiting a little. I find it exciting to know that I have something that I want coming soon in the mail. It is like Christmas but I know that I'm going to like what I'm getting.
[Nexus 7 General] Sarsippius:
This wait is nothing, I pre-ordered some $200 canal phones mid March which were expected in within about a month, by April they were delayed to June. I decided to wait and when June came around they still weren't in and now there was no eta. I figured I'd waited this long so sat tight, a few weeks ago I was told mid to late July so fingers crossed it'll be very soon. Another retailer is shipping them Monday so maybe mine will be just in time for my new Nexus hehe :D

Brainwavz B2's for anyone who's interested, I've made sure not to let the wait effect my expectations at all, the worst that could happen now is that I don't like them :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] HiddenSanctum:
Its been my experience that when you try to get a hot selling item as fast as you can, you end up having to pay way more than you planned to in the beginning. I'll be happy if mine comes before August.

I will be happy with Wednesday anything else is unacceptable.

Has anyone returned their t-mobile galaxy s3? Was there a restocking fee and how much? Cause I talked to t-mobile about the buy one get one free deal and asked if I could still get it even though I already bought the phone a week ago and they said no. I don't get why they said no when I could just return it and buy the galaxy s3 and get the deal..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Xcor3:
I thought it doesn't apply to the s3?

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ThC23:
Usually it's a $50 restocking fee.

You'll have to purchase both phones and then you'll get a rebate for the other one, so just a heads up if you do it like this.

Also, I think it takes a min for your upgrade to appear again. Not sure when the sale ends, but this might give you problems.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ayeitschris:
Oh. I was gonna get the galaxy s2 for free as a upgrade on another line, but t-mobile said I couldn't get the deal cause I got the phone before the deal started. Wow..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AxAtAx:
Figures, I bought my GS3 last saturday, after the 11th, they better come across with the free phone:)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] spazoid:
I won't get it til tomorrow, and I'm refusing the delivery so they will return it. Way to many major issues known
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IRIE4IPIER:
I don't get why you're mad about this? Why should they send you a free GS2 when you already completed your order? Makes no sense. You buy a phone before you even know about the bogo deal, then you find out about the deal and call them and tell them to send you a free GS2? How stupid is that? Common sense buddy. Sorry for flaming you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheGame7:
My GNex is boot looping, and all I did last was install the tasker app. I can't figure it out, it was working fine all night, then when I switched batteries, bootloop. I even tried to switch back with no luck just for kicks lol.

I can get into Clockwork recovery, but it will not let me access my internal data, I never could and its the one thing about Gnex that bugs me... Actually it pisses me off, because even when the phone is on and I tried to backup my phone, sometimes the transfer fails or stops!

I really don't want to format my phone I want my data back at least before I do a wipe. I did a backup in CWM but again mounting data, even usb mount won't work. Clockwork Recovery 5.5.0.4.

Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:
Do you still have the rom? If you do reflash it, you won't lose anything if you didn't factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheGame7:
I don't know maybe somewhere, it was the first Jellybean rom. Even so how can I reflash, I cant get access to my data in recovery? =[

I found the rom, just need to know how to get into data/usb from CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
The simple act of flashing the ROM won't delete your data. Its why we have people delete it when switching roms
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scean:
I have a locked Galaxy S II and for some reason it will not accept my google username and password so I cannot get in to do a factory reset. I am also unable to use the volume/power button combination to get into the boot menu to reset the device that way. Is there anything else I can do to reset the device?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] inningsdefeat500:
Bought this like 5 days ago at a bell store, paid $40 and its out. Store says not returns and I threw my recipet anyways

Will Samsung exchange it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jubmasterflex:
I might suggest reaching out to Samsung via Customer Service, Facebook and/or Twitter. I've had marginal success using these methods in the past to make some wrongs, right.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fatboypup:
My corner is wearing
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jlczl:
The store can reproduce the receipt off of your account history. What's there excuse for not allowing the return? It's defective after all. The thing is that the store managers are getting rated on returns and are making their employees aggressively refuse them. I'd go back to the store and demand an exchange for a clearly defective product.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
The flip covers looked like it would wear easily. Good thing I didn't buy one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SilverSpade:
I actually bought that very case and returned it although my reasoning was different. I simply didn't like it. Looks great but makes operating it one handed impossible, never dropped a phone so many times in my life trying to one handed flip the case open and then hit the side power button. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sgvnut:
I bought the same case for my note and after a week the corner started coming apart. I took it back to at&t store and returned it without any problems. I learned and didn't get it for my s3. That flip case is not durable at all!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Classick206:
Man I fell in love with those flip cases when I first saw them. Then I read through multiple reviews from people with the same issues (defects and awkwardness during use).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pblocal:
I have one too, no problems at all yet and had phone just about 3 weeks now. we shall see.

plan to pick up a bumper case also as using the phone one handed with this flip case is definitely an issue.

It does a great job of protecting the phone on the other hand!

Not every phone can do it. It really doesn't benefit either.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I just want to push it for all it has to just see what this phone can do is all.I don't plan on keeping it at this for along period of time.
[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
like sshede said, not all phones are made the same. some phones can handle higher OC speeds like 1800-1900mhz, but some can only handle maybe 1500mhz. it all depends....BTW, you should be happy with 1782mhz because if not for a custom kernel, you would be stuck at 1200mhz:p
[HTC Sensation] mflow:
well, mine could go to 1.89 without any reboot issue while benchmarking.. but the heat is intolerable :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawaiiDango:
It looks like ics automatically runs the "Android is Upgrading" thing whenever it senses some "change" in boot.img? It happens everytime i flash a kernel, without wiping dalvik cache. It will continue to run regardless of whether the dalvik cache files are present or not. This is actually a good feature.

But i noticed that if i simply do a nandroid backup of /boot, and restore it without doing anything else, or flash the same kernel again, it will boot up with the "Android is Upgrading" thing again from the start.

is there a way to disable this, or at least prevent dalvik cache generation if they are already present?

im using amon Ra recovery

I noticed that in the stock email clients on the GS3 and HTC One X that when you received an email with a meeting request you could select your response: Accept, Tentative, Decline, but then instead of sending the response, you had the option to send a response, edit before sending a response, or don't send a response, similar to what you can do in Outlook.

I'm not too fond of the stock email client on the GS3 because the font is so large and there is no option to change it.

Has anyone seen a AOSP version of the mail APK that has this meeting invite functionality built in with the response prompts?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] nirav82:
I would like to know this as well. I hate the meeting request option on this phone. Hope someone releases the stock ICS version of the mail client itself.

So, now that I've realized and begun the painful process of accepting my battery won't make it until my bed time (11ish). Anyone get a good find on an extended battery. Preferably one that doesn't require added bulk. A 2500 mah that fits the stock slot would be soooo nice :D
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] d1ez3:
Also interested in this. The phone is so thin a bigger battery might not add too much bulk anyway. Any word on official extended battery?

Nope, I went through that with a captivate. Not gonna keep switching, its too much work especially with a case
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] p_synthesis:
Do a search in this or the Q&A forum. There was someone who found an expensive one but he was getting something like 40 hours usage! The battery comes with its own battery cover that will replace the stock cover.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Fausto77:
I'm trying to avoid adding bulk. However, what's the best one that would require a cover?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] s60convert:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kind3rgarten:
This worked for me. I have been checking every five minutes for the last couple days, clearing Framework, restarting, using different networks, and as soon as a tried this I received the update. Another thing to note, I checked for the update right before I used this "trick" to make sure it wasn't just a coincidence and I was still receiving the dreaded "Phone up to date" or whatever. So for this to be a coincidence would be a pretty low probability.

Thanks OP.

Even if this didn't do anything, I got the update finally. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alan7467:
Hi folks,

Quick question for Galaxy Nexus owners. Last February I purchased a GN but quickly returned it due to 3rd party app performance (coming from a iPhone), but more importantly because of issues with the touchscreen. I found that when not holding the phone in my hand the screen was very unresponsive to touch. Input would be recognized but typically only after multiple attempts. A perfect example of this would be trying to use the phone while sitting on a table, or perhaps a pillow in bed. Note that I found the phone to behave the same way even after a hard reset. I've had phones in the past that had this type of "grounding" issue if you will, and found it pretty annoying to live with.

My question is: has anyone else experienced this on their Galaxy Nexus, and if so what version do you have (GSM, Verizon, etc.)?

I'm seriously considering trying the device out again now that it can be had for $349, and also because apps seem to be catching up to iOS fast. Oh, and let's not forget that sweet sweet Jelly Bean :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] briggs81:
That is quite funky. I have not had any issues like that before and have not seen any reports from blogs either. I personally have a GSM version since it came out (Telus).

Can't help you with your app problem :P I've had 3 iPhones and could never get attached to apps. I came back to Android and all of a sudden care about apps. Not sure what it is, other then the sharing content to other aps functionality. THat is very important to me. And I guess the openness of what you can do wtih Android apps is appealing too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alan7467:
Thanks so much for the reply.

I find that I'm not too attached to most iOS apps I use, with the exception of Flipboard. Which of course is now on android. The issue I've had with android apps is with smoothness, but I happen to have a touchpad running cyanogen mod9 and have been able to notice steady improvements in recent months.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nueb35:
I have an unrooted/unlocked (bought from Google Play) Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1 (JRO03C) updated through the OTA, but it does not have Google Wallet. Everywhere I read about the features in 4.1, they mention Google Wallet, including their features page.

The app does not show up on the phone, and on the computer it says "This app is incompatible with your Samsung Galaxy Nexus."

Also: I bought it 1 day before it went off the market because of the lawsuit, I decided not to root it because 4.1.1 would be coming soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blurryat2am:
I'm sure someone will chime in if I'm incorrect but from I've read yakju is the International version where GW is not available. That's why I believe it isn't there.

If you want GW on it, I believe you'll need to flash it with a rom or install a takju image.
