[Nexus 7 General] THS1989:
Anyone got google to refund the $20 shipping?

I'm on hold with google right now.

If they dont waive shipping, I am cancelling.

If they won't cancel, I will call my credit card company.

UPDATE 2:

They cancelled my order.... I didn't even ask for it to be cancelled.

I asked if they can waive the shipping due to the delays.

Guess not.....

Guess I just wait now and get it cheaper of kijiji in a month or two.

EDIT: UPDATE

The person told me she doesn't have the ability to do a refund on shipping.

She has sent an email to the billing department. They will let me know I guess.

She also told me that if I reject the delivery and have it sent back to sender, I will get a FULL refund INCLUDING SHIPPING.

I told here it's not in written (just like the 1year warranty claim). She said sorry she doesn't know all the details blah blah blah.

TLDR: If they don't refund the shipping, I am calling my credit card company.
[Nexus 7 General] ExPlanet:
Please post if you have any success in doing this. I'm interested as well.
[Nexus 7 General] R3dbeaver:
i emailed them regarding shipping too, asking for a refund.

pre-order on 2nd day its announced, paid $20 for 2-days shipping. it's being shipped yesterday and will reach my door on the 23rd??????

UNACCEPTABLE, GOOGLE.
[Nexus 7 General] Blainedh:
^^ Isn't that a UPS issue then?

Has your unit shipped yet? (OP)
[Nexus 7 General] Smith7018:
Every time I order 2 day shipping from Amazon (often), it always gets to my door within 2 days. UPS or USPS, it doesn't matter; it just gets here. Being told my device would ship today at the latest by their CS reps and then being emailed that it will get here by the end of next week is unacceptable for $20 shipping. It makes no sense and our shipping costs should be refunded; they were inordinately high in the first place, and now they're not even for 2 day shipping for many people.
[Nexus 7 General] soldeus:
The shipping debacle was UPS's fault. I pre-ordered but ended up buying mine from same club. After receiving the package yesterday, its pretty evident Google just shipped pallets of N7's to UPS at which point UPS was responsible for packaging and labeling them for individual customers.

Perhaps Google isn't the villain we are all making them out to be with this ordeal...
[Nexus 7 General] R3dbeaver:
if there's any shred of truth to this, i'd still be barking up Google as the seller who's responsible for getting my product to my hands.

UPS suck. surprise. but what's Google gonna do about it??
[Nexus 7 General] THS1989:
Got an update. Posted up top.
[Nexus 7 General] VancouverBlade:
The shipping issue is completely Google; UPS ship it at the speed required and paid for by Google. They're only doing what their customer has asked them to do. I've spoken with UPS staff and they've been incredibly helpful.

Mine is being shipped UPS Standard which means it will take a week to get to me. I will almost certainly be refusing the delivery next week.
[Nexus 7 General] R3dbeaver:
nice.

as much as it pains me, i might be rejecting my delivery too unless i got a $20 refund credit from Google.
[Nexus 7 General] THS1989:
They cancelled my order.........

I asked if they can waive the shipping due to the delays.

Guess not.....
[Nexus 7 General] BootlegZani:
While this maybe true for the $14 they charged me for 2 day shipping they should have at least gone with FedEx. Anyhow enough complaining I already got my Nexus 7 yesterday.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Divine_Madcat:
I am just going to be the bad guy here, and nip this in the bud.

Money, you have already confessed to bricking at least 2 phones and defrauding AT&T. You are now asking about something that can brick another phone.. at this point, I am going to give you as friendly of advice as I can...

1) Google and XDA search are your friend. If XDA search comes up short, you can always use google, with something like: "my search phrase" site:xdaforums.com You would be surprised what Google can find..

2) Everybody has to start off "new"; as you are still obviously new, your best bet is to do as much reading (not posting) on this site as possible, and KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, before you do it. Its not wrong to ask questions, but there are proper ways to go about it; searching first is a big part of it.

3) As noted, you already exchanged two bricked phones.. the community frowns on this kind of fraud (as do I), as it leads to rate hikes. If you are going to choose to ignore all the other advice, at least follow this one: If you brick your phone and exchange it agian, spare telling us about it. Fraudulent activities are not welcome on this forum (and getting a phone exchanged because of a bad flash that YOU did is fraudulent).

So, I am sorry, but before this goes out of hand like past threads, i am closing this here...
[HTC One S] Da Baron:
Hello, XDA HTC One S owners

I have searched high and low and a variety of different forums but can not find a "root" method for the above subjects firmware. Is there not a method yet for it?

When I received my One S I upgraded the phone not thinking that there possibly wasn't a "root" for the newest version. I tried using the One X "one click root" but to no avail. I do not wish to unlock the bootloader just "root" it so I can still receive OTA's and delete TMOS US bloatware.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

[HTC One S] WCCobra:
There is no root without unlocking bootloader.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
You will no longer receive any OTA regardless of the root method. OTA installers look for many things including making sure that "bloat" is installed. You're gonna have to use htcdev to unlock the bootloader.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacentre:
Can anyone tell me how to disable or delete an unwanted firmware update? It could be an official ICS update but I can't tell.

If I try to accept the installation, it reboots the phone but then the update fails with the message

"Software update

Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre."

I then get the update notification again and the only option I have is to postpone the install for later. Is this happening because I have already flashed the ROM with the version below?

N7000DXLR2-------4.0.4-------------2012 July--------------N7000OLBLR1----------Singapore (SingTel)

I have Root Explorer and Superuser apps installed.

Grateful for any advice.

I've found a lot of unofficial Jelly Bean ROMS that partially works but I can't find the official Google ROMS nowhere, why xda don't have and official google ROM thread or something.

I know you have to compile it and that kind of things but I don't know why we don't keep posted the original google releases without extras.

Hi,

I tried to update my HTC Sensation to CM9 by the tool in the development section. Rooting and flashing went fine. Only the startup after i flashed it doesnt work.

Any idea?

This is wonderful, amazing, and nearly everything I needed in a ROM. Many thanks to all those who worked on it.

The only problem is that I need this in Chinese, however it's only available in European languages...

My Question:

1. If I were to add a language to the ROM before installing it, how would I go about doing that?

2. Is there a way to install a system language after you've already installed the system?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] justinlagace:
Hi folks,

So I've jumped in to the world of custom ROMs, initially to CleanRom 4.1 then to the Nocturnal's Sensless Rom 1.1. Things were peachy. Until, I leave home and realize that my data connectivity (I'm on Rogers) isn't working! I get the "4G" with good signal in the top right hand corner, as I'd expect.

What I've already tried:

-Total factory/system/davlik wipe, then re flash ROM.

-Same as above, but also flashing both a Rogers Radio (1.73) and I also tried AT&T 2.09

I'm at a loss here. Calls and SMS works fine. Wifi is fine. What are my options? I'm a newb to this world, so my level of understanding of how the ROM affects the 3g/4g radios...should I just be looking to flash a stock Rom back onto my phone? I was under the impression that CleanRom would probably have stock radio's and such...

I really, REALLY, appreciate any help or insight on this. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Check the APN. My guess is that the ROM you are on does not have the Rogers APN built-in. In that case you need to get the right APN settings, and manually enter them.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sdotfitz:
I had a similar issue I would lose data if on WiFi for a long time that was a radio issue and required dalv wipe etc......ur sounds like what the guy above said so search until u find a rogers APN as you are prob using the at&t APN or something.....the APN is accessible in settings/more/Mobile networks/access point names If it doesn't say rogers hit settings New APN and just input the rogers APN ull find it with a quick Google search

Eg. It happened to xe currency app today and it has had so many updates till date but never before this have I seen this behaviour.

Also I have owned a htc desire in the past but never experienced anything like this.

My phone is a Galaxy S II running CM9 with colour temperature calibration done via Fluxi kernel, and side by side comparisons of the Play Store splash page, as an example, really shame the Nexus 7.

What is chroot?

A chroot image is like a Virtual Machine where you are running an O.S within an O.S.The point of this is that you have a whole Linux System running on a phone where you can ofcourse access all the utilities available in Linux.and as it runs inside of android you dont need to flash anything and can use both the chrooted O.S and Android together.

Things required:-

1)Terminal

2)Root

3)Sdcard with atleast 2GB of free space

The Miui i used was on Stock Kernel.The Kernel Does Support Loop devices.Miui is a Rebase of CM but the loop functionality is related to Kernel.So,Yes it Works on Stock Kernel on Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders Both as we are not flashing anything.

Anyway Give Ubuntu a go.
