[Nexus 7 General] TurboFool:
Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I'm curious about the same. With 32GB units popping up in some stores I'd like to consider getting one and reselling my 8GB, but after having such a fantastic experience with Google on the warranty with my 8GB I'd hate to find out that by buying it retail I have to go through much more complicated channels. Can someone tell me what their experience was?
[Nexus 7 General] pbone771:
I've had to send back two Nexus 7's and Google told me they only handle it before 15 days, and then you need to ship it to ASUS
[Nexus 7 General] bjcrj:
I have had mine since July. Third one actually. First was screen flicker then screen lift on number two. This one just started flickering. Called Google and new replacement shipped today with return ups label in my inbox. Great service. I did get mine through Play.
[Nexus 7 General] FallN:
Did you purchase directly through Google Play?

If you didn't then you have to go to whatever merchant sold it to you or deal directly with Asus.

If you purchased from Google, it shouldn't be an issue to get an RMA without dealing with Asus directly. Call them back up and ask for an "Advance Warranty Exchange".

(Be prepared for a $199 or $249 authorization / hold on your credit card or debit card.)
[Nexus 7 General] smirkis:
indeed, i bought mine from google play, and it was a preorder purchase. 3 months later i wanted a new device and i emailed them and a new one was on its way the next day. a hold for 249 went on my card, but they received mine within a week and the hold dropped instantly. i couldn't be happier with googles service, and i refuse to buy nexus products anywhere else. service has been top notch.
[Nexus 7 General] HangingOut:
I think it's extremely funny the difference in service people get when they bought the tablet through Google Play or a brick or mortar store. I purchased mine through walmart and well past the 15 day return limit. Would love to swap for a different device due to screen lift that I've tried (unsuccessfully) to fix.

It seems that Google Play's customer service is fine, Asus on the other hand is not. I may file a warranty claim with Asus and try to get it swapped out.
[Nexus 7 General] kitsunisan:
Bought mine through Microcenter as a impulse buy, and I'm honestly glad I did. They give you a 60 day return policy on it, and it seems the 32gb version will be out well within that. Having said that though, I'll definitely be buying the 32gb one through Google, great experience with them on the Nexus One, makes sense to get the 7 through them as well.
[Nexus 7 General] THE_KINGDOM:
This advanced replacement by Google is amazing service, exactly the way warranty claims from an online retailer should be handled. Im very happy with what I've read and will be ordering my Nexus 4 and all future Nexus devices from Google play.
[Nexus 7 General] [1]:
had an issue with my n7 over the weekend. contacted google about it tuesday and 2 days later i have a brand new tablet...just have to send the old one back with the prepaid label. i'm satisfied...
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Yes, they do handle warranty replacements great for the people who buy the products from them.

BUT, the issue is, they refuse to help out the people who bought them elsewhere. I didn't buy an Asus Nexus 7. I bought a Google Nexus 7. Where I bought it from is irrelevant. They should provide the same level of service to all of their customers.

I had the Go Sms Pro app on my Galaxy. In the notification bar and on the icon it would show the unread message count. I cannot figure out how to get it to show that on my new Galaxy S3. Any ideas? Thanks!! :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Dave the Knave:
Isn't that the job of a plugin for go SMS? Message counter or something I believe

thats actually a widget, the unread count icon thing. Look in the widgets, its a widget but really functions as an icon at the same time. :good:

i was messing aroud with voltage control and cpu spy and i noticed that the cpu speed was only topping out at like 1ghz these phones come with dual core 1.5 ghz correct? mine has never seen that high of a speed is there a reason or am i missing something? on my s2 it had a 1.2 dual core cpu i believe and it said how long each speed had seen action and i even bumped it up to like 1.4. im nervous to mess around with the speed if its already 1.5 i was just gonna set it to like 1.6 or something.but it seems mine is running each core at just 1ghz can anyone lend me some light on this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ghost77:
You have Power Saving ON , that limits max cpu speed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bjballar41:
ahh thank you so much another question on spu spy it says unused cpu stats im guessing is 1.1 and 1.2 is there a reason they are unused? also just a guess but looks like i cant go any higher than 1.5 with voltage control? is there another app that lets me bump it up to like 1.6? or 1.7?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ghost77:
Don't worry about it , cpuspy doesn't have full history of your cpu activity, cpu clocks up and down depending on load.

CpuSpy is not very reliable from my experience.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tjpallares:
You need to flash a different kernel that will allow you to over clock the cpu. Voltage control will allow you to do this but you need a kernel that will let you over clock first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bjballar41:
ok thanks.

Thanks. Using it now. I don't use camera app much, so hate having it on my home screen. But, when out and about, it is nice to be able to quickly capture those important moments. Thus, having the camera shortcut on the lock screen is handy.

Only I can not choose lockscreen wallpaper, hope in next versions it will be available, also more unlock options
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Goodm7sn:
I think they r working on many of those issues and missing features.

At least it's a lock screen where we r not forced to have a launcher installed. And it's very smooth as well.

Is there a switch in the settings which prevent the home button unlocking phone when on the lockscreen but otherwise allows the home button to act as normal?

[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:
I can not get the nvm folder unlocked on the 9k port. I do need it unlocked to be able to write the data settings and have them stick, correct? Also to change the MEID? I have CDMA WS 2.7, QPST 366, DFS 4.0.0.4. Can anyone help?

I am trying to flash this phone to cricket-

I do have 1x data with a AT&T sim installed. Text and calls work.

I also have 1x data with no sim card installed, but I can't make calls.

Yes I am trying to unlock and edit the 9k port with the vzw sim in the phone.

Edit: 'open sesame door' DOES NOT WORK
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
The radio itself ia the problem. It doesnt work at the frequencies that at&t operates on. Yes it does have a sim but it isnt the same as a sim that is in an at&t phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:
Ok, but I still need to unlock the NVM folder on the 9k port modem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Are you attempting to get 3g data?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:
Yup.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Good luck. The thunderbolt doesnt operate on the same frequencies as at&t. The radios are not capable of it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:
Who said anything about that, in my post I state the following

I AM FLASHING THIS PHONE TO CRICKET

I am trying to get the 3g data to work on cricket, so far I can only get 1x data. Anyways, my question is how to unlock the NVM folder.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] androidsupra:
I think the at&t sim confused them
[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Matrixk101:
Go to mycricket forum and look at the instructions I did make a comment on it about flash a New radio the one on the gingeritis 3d site seems like after that I could write but can't be 100% sure!! Cuz I did a lot thing over the 2 weeks to get it to work pain in the butt but once I got it to work so flipping awsome and to the guy that posted are the sim really doesn't matter other than writting to apn for mms I.can run with or with out the sim once the radio is written too

[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:
That is the post that I followed to flash the TB to cricket. I did flash the TB with the following:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] c5satellite2:
CDMA doesn't use sim card. Sim card is gsm by default. The one on the tbolt is not a "sim" as we know it. Im pretty sure it I for 4g LTE only. Everything else should work, yes 3g cdma, without it present. I think it is a UIM card. I have heard Verizon is using it for CDMA authentication as well, but I am not sure on that one. CDMA does not need a "sim" card, but a carrier could choose to use a UIM or any hardware key if they desired. If you aren't on Verizon's network, it should be 100%. If you are(even through a third party carrier that uses Verizon for their cdma service) you will need a new card. Once they are issued, they get tied to the account and phone number and cannot be changed for security reasons.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] phillybizzle:
its been proven that the t-bolt is a world phone
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Do tell how. It is a cdma evdo phone. It will work in countries with cdma technology but without a gsm antenna it can't function properly as a world phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:
So you are saying the data fields on the 9k port are irrelevant to my data issue. All the NV items on 9k port still have Verizon information, so the UM and AN User ID and so forth are all the old Verizon information. I can NOT write to these fields, from what I understand this might be the reason I am not getting 3G.

So if those settings are not needed, is it my Radio? Like I said all my calls, texts, MMS even all WORK. My only issue is 1x Data, I can't seem to get 3g.

ALSO WHEN THE VERIZON UIM/SIM CARD (WHICH EVER IT IS) IS IN THE PHONE, I HAVE NO DATA AT ALL, I ONLY GET DATA WHEN I USE A SIM CARD FROM ANOTHER PROVIDER.

THE DATA WORKS WITH NO UIM/SIM IN THE PHONE, BUT WHEN THERE IS NO UIM/SIM I CAN NOT MAKE CALLS.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c5satellite2:
Have you seen this article? You are correct with your approach, this may help you.

Can't find a straight answer if cricket uses r-uim card or not. Everywhere I looked it said no, but maybe in the future.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c5satellite2:
Hope they help, I'm going to have to move my friends tbolt to straight talk soon so I will be in the same boat soon enough!

And yes tbolt is world phone with gsm and sim card support.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] skeet43169:
I would like to know about the stright talk t-bolt good luck
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c5satellite2:
From what I know, cdma on straight talk requires that you buy a cdma donor phone(cheap $30) from them and then clone esn and other info to the tbolt.

GSM phones on ST are easy, get new sim from ST, input apn, and success!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:
Thanks I will try these out! I have gotten everything to work, CALLS, TEXT, MMS, 1x Data. The only things I can't get to work is 3G, but today I noticed a new issue, when my 1x Data is in use I can't receive calls. I can make calls, text, mms, everything.... but if 1x data is in use I don't get calls. Anyone else having this issue?

Once I figure out the 3g data issue I will post it here, also if anyone needs help with any of aspect of the tbolt pm me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] budaim:
I have tried all of these, I can't get the the NV items to write. I can't get anything to write to the 9k port, and I can't get the NVM folder to unlock. ALSO now I am having the issue if the 1x DATA is in use I cant receive calls, If i turn off mobile data I get calls just fine.

UGH!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] c5satellite2:
Have you tried starting from scratch? Relock, run ruu for factory Rom, s-off again and see if it works. I had an issue with tbolt where it was not flashing roms and had to go back to square 1 to fix.

CDMA UIM for Verizon or Cricket Card Trade

I have a CDMA UIM card you can program to work on any CDMA network, I have done so on Verizon. I would like to know if you would trade a copy of the software DFS4004 for a CDMA UIM/Sim card , also have a program to write to UIM?

Get your 3g on cricket

Just write your min, mdn, prl, basically your cricket info settings to ALL nams on 9k modem and cdma modem. That's what read somewhere else and it worked for me. BUT somehow, I think when sim is in phone, it auto writes Verizobutn's prl sometimes. I had my cricket prl written on every nam but yesterday I could not log into groove IP because the similar wrote vzws prl back to the phone. So if u want a custom rom, I would suggest that u back up your stock rom or have a custom rom with the ##diag# or ##3424# built in or can be installed. Also with my plan I HAVE to use Transparent Proxy app or similar with crickets wap proxy (wap.mycricket.com) and port 8080 is input in proper fields. Then everything worked. Good luck, and again these are not my work, just findings discovered using Google search and fo:good::good:rums like this one.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Zarboz:
'

you can also just put the epst.apk in your new rom and get to your diag functions

i flashed phones to boost/cricket/virgin for almost a year for a living

if you get into QPST open the filebrowser

create a file on the root of your NVM called opensesamedoor

reboot the phone

youll notice now that all the items inside your NVM_Items folder are R/w

you can have a hayday at that point with HXD

enjoy
[Thunderbolt Android Development] baronmxc:
Not to bring up your old post, but the chipset in the tbolt supports GSM and all the goodies with the GSM family. It is the radio software (baseband) we have that locks it down to cdma evdo only. The reason this has not been looked into is because writing a new baseband runs the risk of bricking the device. We all know that radio software is very touchy with any phone. I will post the proof from Qualcomm's website or Wikipedia that our phones indeed have a gsm radio not related to LTE.

EDIT: From Wikipedia. Under the Snapdragon S2, the last entry labeled MSM8655. Our phone is one of many that use this chip, so it is not like we are the only one. As you know, these processors are the all in one kind meaning there is no separate radio chip (other than our LTE one). Everything is packed in one single chip.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
People have already done that and I will say you're beating a dead horse. I bet it would take a hardware modification to cmioen up the GSM radio for this phone. I seriously doubt that they would throw in a GSM antenna without installing a dampener to prevent its use. Furthermore what good is a GSM antenna without radio software or an ril to support its use?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] baronmxc:
And you are right. I'm sure there are factors that prevent GSM from working, but with many GSM phones carrying the same chip (with CDMA locked out), I'm sure anything is possible (but not counting on it). Its not a pressing issue anyway. Get a world phone if you need one. This just states that the tbolt had the capability to be one but got locked down at software level beyond our modification level.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] disconnecktie:
Since the hardware on this phone is almost identical to the Droid incredible 2 its not surprising to me that it has a GSM chip in it. I'm not trying to crush anyones dreams here but its really pointless to unlock the GSM chip without an ril or radio to utilize it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anita_russell:
I have my TBolt running on Boost with 3G and voice simultaneously. No need to change the MEID on the 9k radio. I also ran my TBolt on Cricket for awhile, but due to tethering limitations switched back to Boost.

Regardless, you should be able to obtain a 3G connection. The Cricketusers forum helped me get connected. PM me if you still can't get 3G data.
