That's fine that you're happy, but you shouldn't be "bragging" or calling yourself "extremely lucky" when in effect you just spent $285 for a used N7 with no warranty, on eBay. There's a reason you were the only bidder.
[Nexus 7 General] sprintuser1977:
Got mine today at Sam's for $246
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
Well I piad 249 plus tax at gamestop for my pre-order came to 269.95. Its cheaper than Play Store by about $14
[Nexus 7 General] glossywhite:
"Not to brag"?

I just bought THREE of these, new, for £100 each.

Eat me.

lmao :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] G1_enthusiast:
285? how did you get that? its 260
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
You're losing $25 credit that everyone that buys it new gets.
[Nexus 7 General] G1_enthusiast:
if i paid playstore it would have been 277 all together so i got away with 17 bucks lol not a big deal or anything its just there no place in baltimore to get it other than craiglist or online, even if you look online asshole selling it for 280+
[Nexus 7 General] G1_enthusiast:
i told you i dont need it...in actuality if i did buy it from google i would pay 277 so i rather have cash than a gift card which i probaly will never use.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
If you're happy with the price, than that's all that matters. I still don't know what the purpose of this thread is since I'm sure nobody is going to feel as good about your "deal" as you do, but enjoy your N7.
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
You get the $25 credit. As long as you restore it to factory, the first time you log in with your account, you get it.

Whatever. ..If you feel saving $17 cash is worth losing a $25 credit, manufacturers warranty, and getting "used" instead of "new" is worth it, then enjoy.

Are you sure Google hasn't closed that loophole by now?
[Nexus 7 General] G1_enthusiast:
i'm not happy the fact that i save money i'm happy the fact that i actually acquire one while everywhere else is sold out. if i pre-order from my local gamestop it wouldnt arrive till august 4th and god know when google will actually send my stuff, they promise this week than put it off for another week. so yea the point is i'm felt lucky to be one of the few that own one, not because i save any money.

Ill consider you lucky if you went right now and order a 8GB Nexus 7 and some how jump in front of the thousands maybe millions who been waiting since June 27th for their order to ship.

If im correct the Tablet is 250 + $14 shipping.. .. So you saved yourself $4... Plus your out of the 25$ Credit (just maybe)

Wait.. not to mention its used... so the seller still sells it at retail?, Rip off bro

[Nexus 7 General] GiantJay:
Thank you. I've never heard of this site. I just went there and ordered mine, it says it will be here in 2-3 days free shipping. Now i just have to cancel my Play Store order since that is supposed to take 3-4 weeks. Google was charging me something like 15 bucks to ship too, even though I live about 95 miles from them in Sacramento. So all in all I save about 15 dollars and get it probably 2 weeks earlier!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 954chevy:
Hey guys,

I unlocked the bootloader for my NS4G, installed CWM 5.8.0.2, and wiped cache, dalvik, battery stats, and boot, and then proceeded to install the v7 JB ROM by hp420... the problem is when I tried to install it, I get a status 7 and an abort. When I try to reboot my phone, it obviously stays in fastboot, because I don't have boot or a ROM, yet I can go back to recovery... can anyone tell me how to revert to a stock ROM or how to install the v7 ROM or another ROM so I can actually use my phone? Thank you! :good:

Edit: Mounted Storage to computer, tried to install a CM9 ROM to the phone, same problem.. seems like CWM is the problem, how would I fix this?

open it with 7Zip and flash the boot.img and system.img in there with fastboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
You need to format system when you flash a custom ROM over a stock ROM. Well basically anytime you go from one different ROM to another like aokp - petes- miui and so on.

Okay, thanks guys, I have a problem. When I use fastboot command line, I type fastboot flash system (systempath) and when I hit enter a whole list of options pop up. what should I actually type after? I don't know what to do with the options.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasondhsd:
I purchased this cheap case from amazon. http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...42825366&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+s3+armor+case its a combination TPU and hard plastic shell. Not to bad for $8 IMO.

Definitely looks like it could take a drop, corners are reinforced and the lip is raised around in front. I have big hands so the extra width is welcome. Laying it down flat next to my uncased DroidX the hump part on the droidx looks about a millimeter thicker but as the droidx tapers down it becomes thinner by a bout a millimeter compared to the cased sg3. The one draw back I'm noticing is the TPU part is a hair, dust, and dirt collector...is this a trait with all TPU cases? Previously I've only used hard plastic shells that came in to halves and for the past year I kept my droidx naked. Oh volume and power buttons are protected as well and easy to push. I never really had the impression that the naked sg3 was of poor or cheap construction but the case does give it a nice hefty solid feel it the phone, while still being lighter then a naked droidx. If you're looking for a case and don't want to spend $30-$40 I'd say you can't really go wrong with giving this one a try.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] behappy:
Great Case @ Incredible price = Fantastic Value

I was going to do a full review of this, but I found you already got it started. Hope you dont mind if I add to your thread, instead of creating a new one.

This case is AWESOME. I am used to the heavier phones by HTC, so the SGS3 was a bit of a surprise when I first held it as it's so light. The other thing is that the phone is a slippery snake. This phone combined with my ever sweaty mits was a disaster waiting to happen. I found this case on Amazon and I thought I would use it until some of the "nicer", aka more expensive, phone cases came to market.

I received the case and I was immediately impressed with how well the case was thought out and how much it did seem like it would protect against an accidental drop. The corners have raised bumpers that definitely seem like a good idea, as the phones I've seen break usually break from hitting that sweet spot on the corner.

The other thing I like about this phone is those odd circles on the back. At first I didn't really know what to think about them (design wise) until I held the phone with the case on. My fingers naturally found those circles and it's like they're placed perfectly to make the phone easier and more comfortable to hold.

The covers over the buttons seem like an *improvement over the phones' actual buttons. They are nice and snug over them, and feel great + are very easy to push. I also like how it separates the vol up/down as I didn't like the single button for both. I know that other cases are having problems with being too snug and pushing the buttons when you don't want them to, or are overly sensitive. That is not an issue with this case.

I honestly love this case and I don't think I would swap it out for anything as of right now. Especially when you only pay $12.70 shipped. Bleh, what's to think about?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasondhsd:
Do you find the case slippery at all? Having it rest on my palm even on the slightest angle it would slide off, naked it doesn't do that and my fathers sg3 with a verizon silicon case doesn't do that his I can practically put my hand vertical before it slides off. So took some grainy sandpaper and roughened up the shell part which helped a lot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] duxup:
I bought that case as well. I like it. With my fat hands I have trouble holding these super slim phones with no flat edges. With this case it is MUCH easier to handle the phone for me. I also agree that the buttons covered in the TPU stuff but nested in the hard plastic case, volume and lock seem to actually work better with the case on. They seem more substantial / easy to find since they are recessed in their own cove on the case... and yet are easier to push. I'm guessing due to extra leverage from the case covering them. I can find the volume and lock far easier as opposed to no case.

The circles on the back are handy too for knowing how I'm holding the phone when digging it out of a pocket, bag, or ditch. Again that is something I don't get with an all smooth case. Call me crazy but it matters to me as without a case I'm never sure how good a grip I've got on that slippery phone.

The inputs for USB and audio are given a lot of room on this case so no worries for those right angle USB OTG cables as they fit just fine with the case on.

The TPU parts do pick up dust from my pocket but it brushes off fairly easily and honestly I don't much care about that. The lip of the case at the bottom near the S3's hard center button takes a day or so of getting used to since it is raised higher than the button and you can't slide your thumb or finger from the edge of the case to find that button anymore. Not a big deal, I don't notice it at all, but it might bother some folk for a bit.

I got lucky and picked this case right from the sart and I'll stick with it. Note that I ordered it from Amazon and 3-5 business days took a shocking 7 business days. They usually arrive in like 2 or 3 business days. Not sure what was up with that.

Hey guys just got the lcd and glass replaced on my hd2, now I cant run any sd roms they all get stuck on boot screen, tried a fresh install on multiple roms and they will boot up then freeze every time even on different sd cards. The repair tech said he had to reflash my windows 6.5 because "touch" wasnt responding after he installed new lcd and glass. Checked radio still a 2..50... so know thats not the issue. I called the repair guy and he gave me a runaround, also the new screen no longer has the tmobile logo. Any input would be appreciated.

Ok guys, i have truly screwed up. Im not sure if this is the right thread, but i need some serious help! I had my kindle fire rooted and flashed with cm9. It was running great then next thing i know i was getting spammed with "Sorry but the process com.android.phone has stopped working." everytime i click ok it would pop up again instantly. I looked online and it suggested a double-system wipe. So i did, but without thinking, i wiped the SD folder too! Which deleted my rom! My back ups are gone, i cant restore to anything! I still have TWRP v2.1.1 on it though. But when i boot normal it just sits at a black screen, help me please....
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoJoeee42:
I think you should still be able to boot into recovery by turning on your KF and then continuously tapping the power button. Worth a shot right?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarodroll:
i can boot into twrp's menu, if thats what you mean. i just cant load up anything because i have no operating system
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoJoeee42:
Oh no big deal. Boot into twrp and then you should have an option to mount (meaning mount sd card) click that and follow the instructions. Once you have your KF sd card mounted it should show up on your computer as a removable disk. The last step is just finding the ROM you want and putting the .zip file of it on your KF's SD card. After that you can unmount the sd card, return to the main menu of twrp and flash the new ROM you just put on your SD card.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarodroll:

Usually when it drains the battery, you have sync enabled which will upload/download all your photos to Picasa.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a.black:
With nexus toolkit I changed my android on my phone from yakjuxw to yakju. Even on yakjuxw I made a backup from data and the virtual SD card, then restored them to yakju 4.0.4 with toolkit. Then I upgraded the phone via OTA to 4.1.1.

Now I can not create a folder or file or download or delete the file.

During 4.0.4 yakju I did not look that because I was almost immediately got an OTA.

It's like the sd card in the toolkit, restored things would have read-only because the camera can not save the photos because as is in the folder that I restored with toolkit, but in the sd card main library I can create a new folder and I can delete it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Sounds to me like you have a similar bug I seen about, the storage partition has changed in jelly bean. Really if I were you back up anything you want to a pc, make a cwm back up. Use the tool kit to downgrade to 4.0.4 again, allow it ota to 4.1.1 and perform a factory reset on the phone through settings/back up and reset. Make a test with taking photos, if that works then add your stuff back on if all is well, if your stuff you add on is not visible and the rest photos are then its your other stuff which is corrupted.

Hope this helps

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karirafn:
I got my new S3 yesterday. It was bought in Denmark and I live in Iceland. I keep getting a "No SIM (Insert SIM card)" error even though the SIM card is properly inserted. I've not rooted the phone.

What I've done so far to resolve the problem:

Gotten 2 new micro SIM cards that have been confirmed to be activated by my provider (Síminn). Neither one has worked.

Updated my S3's firmware to the latest version

Made sure that the phone actually is unlocked by entering *#7465625# (it is).

Checked the region code by entering *#1234# (it's XX = Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom (Western Europe)) - Not quite sure about this one, Denmark is not listed but, as I said previously, the phone is bought in Denmark.

Tested two different SIM cards from another provider (NOVA) that worked fine. Those were both mini SIM cards that had been cut to fit an iPhone and an HTC One X, i.e. cut down to micro SIM size. They both had the older, larger, almost square contacts on them as opposed to the rectangular shape of the newer ones. The older ones, after being cut to micro SIM size, had almost no plastic borders at all.

Tested my newest micro SIM card on another phone (HTC One X) and it worked fine.

The only two options for what might be wrong I've been able to come up with are:

The micro SIM card won't work because its contacts are too small (which I find highly unlikely as it must be standardized, right?)

My provider's SIM cards are somehow blocked on my phone. Is that even possible?

Any ideas what might be wrong and how I can fix it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That should not happen.

I'm not too sure but I think there are multiple microSim standards. The device SHOULD be able to handle them all.

The other way round would be possible; your device ID (IMEI) being blocked on the network.

However that wouldn't give you a "No SIM" but a "No Service" message since it recognizes the SIM but can't use it.

Is there a chance you could get a normal SIM-card from your provider and cut it? Should be compatible.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karirafn:
I'm not sure about that, I had a normal SIM card in my old phone but it had the same contacts as the micro SIM one, i.e. the rectangular ones, not the square ones. I think the square ones are obsolete or something. But if I don't sort this out by monday I'll go and check if they have some square ones. It's either that or switch providers and I really wasn't happy when I was at NOVA (the one that had the cards that worked).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karirafn:
No ideas? I'm getting kinda desperate :D

P.S. The difference between the rectangular and square ones is that the rectangular ones are 6-pin only while the square ones are 8-pin with only 6-pins connected. At least that's what I've been able to dig up.
