ok so i really want to delete my default launcher and replace it with go launcher. what would i have to root remove to get rid of the default launcher and take away the ability to set a default launcher.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
When you download go launcher open it. Then hit the home button. It will bring up which launcher to use. Check the box on the bottom(use as default) then hit go launcher.

That's without rooting. If your rooted get another launcher first then delete the TW launcher in system/apps

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VitaZora:
Two days ago, my device suddenly could not connect to any wifi anywhere, encrypted or not, WEP nor WPA. This began to happen after I did a backup though CWM.

It sees networks but continuously runs through a scanning, connect, disconnect, scanning cycle. It tries to set the IP from the network, but then flashes unsuccessful and starts scanning again and repeats the process, and in the list of available networks, all available networks cycle between being not in range, remembered or disabled.

Sometimes wifi networks are greyed out, sometimes, not. Sometimes it cannot even find my router, even if I place the Tab on top of it. It connects once in a while, randomly, but only holds the connection for a few minutes.

I have other wifi tablets and all can connect to my wifi, nothing has changed with my wifi settings, router, etc. But to make sure, I did cycle the modem and router on and off and even reset the Airport Extreme that I use to factory settings. Modem is new and Airport Extreme is only a couple of months old.

My Tab is rooted and running stock HC. Never been dropped, great condition, never exposed to shocks, water, etc.

I have tried the following fixes:

Restored to factory settings, wipe data, etc. Nothing. I have tried this several times.

I have tried setting a static IP address. Nope.

ODINed it back to stock using P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5. It briefly connects to wifi long enough to apply the update and after that, it starts cycling scanning, connecting, disconnecting, etc. Tried this several times as well.

I even tried the update to the UK ICS for the P6210 and have the same problem. It sees wifi, but cannot connect, and on occasion it cannot see any wifi at all, even when I am 2 feet away from the router.

At this point I am convinced that it is a hardware issue (either that or it is pouting because there is a new Nexus 7 in the house) :cool:

Anyone have any other suggestions for a fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VitaZora:
Update:

I did another hard reset from within Settings-->Storage--> Factory Data Reset, rather than through recovery (either stock recovery or CWM) as I had done before.

Now, wifi connects a little more consistently. Would resetting that way actually make a difference? Or is this just a random thing? Am I trying to see a logic where none exists?

How would a hard reset through the system settings be any different than one through recovery? Or, does each reset clear something else that got corrupted along the way?

My wifi still randomly cycles through scanning, connecting, disconnected, just as before. However, now the connection is actually made more quickly (under a minute when before it could take up to 15 minutes - or just never connect) and seems to remain connected for longer periods of time now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VitaZora:
Well, after searching and reading through 100s of similar issues one of the workarounds is to use a wifi widget or a WiFi Fixer App.

I am using a widget to control wifi and it along with any other random thing I might try can occasionally make my Tab connect to my Wifi network.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VitaZora:
Persistence = Profit.

I think I have finally solved the broken wifi issue. Just to recap, the problem started after I did a backup with garyd9's CWM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1379532.

And as a last ditch effort I even tried toggling the wifi on/off with a widget as was suggested from other sources (Google is your friend), in addition to factory restores, or restoring from a CWM backup, etc. And that was not a reliable solution after all.

These are the steps I took.

Through stock recovery, I wiped data and cache, and did a factory restore, twice.

I ODINed back to stock, again.

Wiped data and cache and did a factory restore.

Wifi was still sluggish to connect, but finally I was able to load the update.

Then I wiped data and cache and did a factory restore again.

It has been 24 hours and I still have a strong wifi connection. If I power my Tab off and wait an hour or two, then reboot it connects immediately to wifi. If I toggle wifi on/off it still makes an immediate connection. YAY!

So, it seems that something got corrupted during the initial CWM backup and then persisted through many wipes and reinstalls.

UPDATE:

Still have working wifi!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rickmiraldo:
I'm having the same problem now. I'm using latest CM9.

I was using Google Chrome just fine when suddenly Wifi disconnected for no apparent reason and it's now showing the same symptoms you described in the first post. I have formatted cache and cleared dalvik cache and it didn't work. Wiped everything and it didn't work. Reflashed CM9 and tried two different Wifi fix flashable ZIPs but I still got the problem. I'm wiping everything and reflashing CM9 once again.

Is someone else experiencing this?

I'm afraid to data wipe in stock recovery due to the brick bug reported (my tab uses one of the defective chips).

How is your Wifi holding up, VitaZora?

I hope persistance pays off.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VitaZora:
My Tab also has the defective chip, but I didn't know that until AFTER I went through all those wipes and reinstalls. :)

But I can report that all is well and wifi is still working like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rickmiraldo:
Ohhh I see...

I did wipe in HC stock recovery several times, but not in ICS stock recovery.

Have you wiped in ICS stock recovery? By selecting "Factory default" option from config menu or by manually going to recovery and selecting data wipe? Or both? Hahaha :D

Thank you for the reply!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] VitaZora:
Honestly, I can't remember. I know I flashed ICS twice as well as the CM9 version for our Tab.

I think the order for flashing from rooted HC was the following:

ICS, CM9, HC, HC, HC, ICS, HC.

In between each was either factory restore from the config menu or through recovery. Occasionally after flashing my device back to stock, it would go into a reboot loop and the only way to fix that was to enter recovery and wipe everything. But I reflashed so many times and tried wiping and factory restores multiple times as well, that I may have wiped ICS through recovery - in fact I am sure I did at least once.

Oh well, I guess I live dangerously.

Regarding entering recovery mode, I recommend going to power menu then clicking reboot then wait until system shuts down (screen will disable its backlight) and only after this click Power+VolumeDown.

[Nexus 7 General] Pat.T:
If you ordered your Nexus 7 from Google Play, you paid $19.99 for 2-day shipping.

But many (if not all) Canadian customers had whose Nexus went out this week had their packages shipped UPS Standard.

I sent e-mails yesterday and today, and didn't hear back, so I finally called tonight. I had to wait 25 minutes to speak to someone, but when I did, he was friendly and nice. Looked into it, said it was a fluke, and told me they'd issue a refund.

A $10.50 refund just appeared in my Google Wallet account. Not exactly what I'd been expecting, but I suppose it's better than nothing.

If your package was shipped UPS Standard, I recommend calling.

The above was from another web site that someone else posted.

I called the main Google number, 1-855-83NEXUS and spoke to the front line worker who stated he knew nothing about the switch to standard delivery but created a ticket and forwarded it on to the powers that be. This is the same route the other person had happen. I will update later if i also get the credit.
[Nexus 7 General] ijeff:
A partial refund of the $20 Canadian shipping isn't acceptable when they've shipped weeks late to Canada.
[Nexus 7 General] Pat.T:
Full Refund

Update i win

just got an email from google play

Thanks for contacting Google. For your troubles, I’ve gone ahead and refunded the CAD 19.99 in shipping charges for this order. The funds will be returned to your card within 7 business days.
[Nexus 7 General] Crowned-star:
how do you request a refund for shipping?
[Nexus 7 General] linkinparkfan007:
I just called and basically I told them that my shipping wasn't the 2 day shipping on the website and that it was UPS Standard instead.

Basically they said they'd put a request for reimbursement and said i'd hear back with them in about a week.
[Nexus 7 General] Crowned-star:
alright thanks i'll be calling them
[Nexus 7 General] hpka:
From the timeline I can work out from your posts, it took about 5 days to get a reply to the email? I've emailed (yesterday) but not called.
[Nexus 7 General] Pat.T:
refund

Not a word from them after the Initial call. Then received an email on the 4th day about the full refund. Email will not work as they do not reply to them, you have to call. They will ask you for your email account you used to order it from ie: gmail and will respond back to that account.
[Nexus 7 General] hpka:
I was afraid of that... I think I'll wait for the rush to die down a bit then get on the phone
[Nexus 7 General] pdc50:
I just called that number and was told they couldn't refund as they had no tool to do so but they would put a note on my file. Was told to go to the play . Google . com and get to my order through Google wallet and ask for a refund of the shipping. Hope it works.
[Nexus 7 General] skyler0:
I just called, got through to a guy right away (1:30am EDT lol). He said the same: Can't do anything, forward to specialist to take a look at it. We'll see if I get the refund.
[Nexus 7 General] Pat.T:
refund

That's exactly right the front line worker can not do anything, he passes it on to the specialist and they look at it. Once it has been determined that there was a shipping error you will receive an email from them.
[Nexus 7 General] thefunkie1:
Well I just called Google Play and he pretty much said that they are aware of the issue and instantly started the process to credit my account. Good thing I saw this thread - I admit I was a little perturbed that I didn't get my 2 day shipping but I was going to let it slide. Now I'll get a small refund.
[Nexus 7 General] KUNITZ22:
"aware of the issue" as in they'll start refunding all of us soon, or should I still call in?
[Nexus 7 General] siewkaiyek:
the csr never forwarded me to any specialist :( just saying that he will put a request note for me..will try to call again to follow up next 3 days :(
[Nexus 7 General] thefunkie1:
Oh I doubt that they will retroactively go back and credit everyone....only for the people that actually call in and complain. So I definitely would place the call and request a refund of the difference. I had mentioned to the person that it shipped as UPS Standard and that I paid for 2 day (wasn't much of a choice when ordering) and he said that there was some glitch somewhere and started the refund process of the difference. Didn't have any issues.
[Nexus 7 General] ibopm:
I just called the hotline that OP posted and explained to them the same thing. They said they need to forward my issue to the "shipping team", and I'll get an e-mail in a few days with a final decision as to what they will do about my request for a refund (of the shipping).
[Nexus 7 General] Pat.T:

[Nexus 7 General] ibopm:
nope
[Nexus 7 General] robbiev80:
The guy I talked to said I wouldn't get a refund because Canadian Orders take 3-5 days to ship even though I told him that it said "2 day shipping" on my receipt.
[Nexus 7 General] xciton:
I'm sure a complaint to the BBB would get Google to re-think that answer. Unacceptable.
[Nexus 7 General] hoponpop:
I had the same thing happen to me. the first guy I talked to blamed it on customs, but I called back and talked to the guy and had my case sent to a specialist. now i'm just waiting for my refund. call them back and ***** some more. your order date obviously makes a difference though
[Nexus 7 General] alpine2g:
Thanks for the tip! Just called and and had a very helpful lady and she is requesting a shipping refund since was suppose to ship out July 12th, but first scan from UPS was July 14th and was told should have had it on the 13th.
[Nexus 7 General] N4nners:
how long did everyone's take? mine is almost here and the total looks like 8 days.
[Nexus 7 General] antonyfl:
you guys should post up the emails of them giving you a refund so we can show them that if they honour one persons refund they should honour them all.
[Nexus 7 General] Kaiyoti:
I called on Friday, my goal was to be nice... this is what happened:

The CSR basically spent his time trying to figure out how to lie to me

1. He told me that the shipping is 2-day shipping, however, it takes 3 to 5 days of processing / packaging. So I told him that I can see the tracking information, it's left Kentucky last Monday and it was Friday when I called. He gave no response to this.

2. He tells me that I in Canada, they don't ship on Saturdays, so it's still 2 day shipping, just that weekends don't count. I tell him that this isn't over the weekend, it shipped Monday, and today is Friday.

3. He then blamed it on customs, telling me that it may have been delayed due to customs. I'm mad at this point, I informed him that I can SEE THE TRACKING INFO. It spent 4 days in 4 different cities all in the US. Import clearance hasn't even happened.

4. I complained how a 2-day shipping really should've been by air, instead of by ground. I said that it should be UPS expedited and NOT UPS Standard. He tells me that 2-day shipping is UPS standard. Pretty sure he thinks I don't know how to read.

I can understand if Google CSR are told to try to retain any completed transactions, but this is just ridiculous. Everything this rep had told me are lies that would work on Grandmas. And this rep deserves to go to hell. That is no longer a "service" he's providing. I basically called him up so I get myself angry.

I called a second time, told the CSR that I'm very upset with the last CSR, gave him the condensed version of 2-day shipping vs 5-day shipping then asked for refund. Told him how the last CSR basically pretended I'm an idiot and lied to me the whole time. He apologizes for that and puts me onto the refund specialist queue. Tells me that they usually reply within 24 to 48 hours.

I just called again, and I'm told that there's a huge queue of people on the refund requests so it'll take a bit longer to process the shipping refunds.
[Nexus 7 General] LuigiC6:
I just called em. Took about 10 mins including hold time, but there were no questions asked. I explained how it said 2 day shipping, but it took over a week. He put in a report to the specialist for the refund, and said it will take a day or so for them to send me a confirmation email for the refund. Definitely recommend calling ;). (I live in Canada by the way)
[Nexus 7 General] R3dbeaver:
i just emailed them. im too lazy and bothered to call and talk, so i emailed. we'll see what happened.
[Nexus 7 General] Kaiyoti:
Update, just got a refund notice. For anyone else, just call, it is worth it.

Refund

My N7 shipped last Tuesday, when I finally got tracking info on UPS Wednesday, it said the delivery date was the following Monday! I wasn't too impressed to I called Google. The guy I talked to said that there was a known issue on the UPS site with it showing the incorrect delivery date. Said that some of the units had actually been upgraded to overnight and said I should receive it either later that day Wednesday or on Thursday at the latest. Was told if by Friday I had nothing, to call them back so they can get on UPS' back! Well Friday rolled around and nothing so I called back and they just filled a form asking UPS to get a move on it! The unit DID show up in the city at the depot later Friday afternoon, but was unable to get my hands on it until Monday!

Was browsing the forums, found this post and decided to call back again! Explained I payed for 2-day shipping and it went UPS standard and took like 5 days to reach me. CSR asked if I was just calling about a refund and I politely said yes if it's possible. He took my email address and went to check on some stuff. Said that he'd pass my call over to the refund dept but for some reason wasn't able to transfer and said he would just escalate via email and they'd get back to me that way. I said that was fine. Escalation confirmation was received from the CSR while writing this post! :D

P.S. You know what UPS means? Use Purolator Stupid ;)

Simple, Because stores didn't have them at that time, or they were in very short supply..
