Where did you order from, was it a reputable store? I still think you have a knock-off device google would never have planned this to have ICS so a test device just would never happen.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wgoeken:
If he got a "knock-off device", then there's a serious issue. Additionally, even knock-off devices have Google apps or some alternative installed, not diagnostic software.

Do anything you can with this device to get the software image from it... even if you have to ship it to a dev, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to strip what's on it, install Jellybean, and ship the device back.

I pre-ordered it direct from Google,through the play store. there was no middle man, no store to go into. It was delivered direct to my door from Google.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattuhh:
I'm going to keep trying, and if worst case scenario i can't do anything, I'll get in touch with a dev and let them do it. Just having time to tinker is my main problem arm.

I will do, and don't worry I'm not doing anything to this tablet till the roms been dumped :)

Or maybe allow a (reputable) dev remote control access to your computer even :) Would save on shipping, and probably be a generally quicker process. I would recommend Teamviewer
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattuhh:
No luck so far, I've tried using wugs toolkit, the nexus 7 rootkit and using the android sdk and going through command prompts to root but nothing is working, when i check adb devices i get a product code of 11111111111 for connected devices and then when i reboot into bootloader the tablet reboots then just sits on the Google loading screen and that's it. When i enter recovery i get an android with a red exclamation coming from his chest (see below) and a list of a few options, and that's it.

That's not a bad idea, could be worth a try if all else fails.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast95135:
Weird. It would be pretty awesome if they sent you a developer one by accident with an HDMI port.

I have just about given up on it to be honest, I don't really want to send it off to someone I don't know to get it fixed if I am honest.

I have contacted google to see what they have to say about it.

I had a look at that thread and to be honest it is a bit more advanced than I am haha

Nothing so far, tried all the rootkit apps and one click root things I can find, I just cant get anything to work. as far as I can tell my problem is fastboot, I dont thing I have it, and I can't seem to install it.

Do you have active data connection (mobile or wifi) when attempting a gps fix?

If not, it can take up to several minutes for a lock if you have not used Gps for a while since that is how it work.

If nothing of the above helps, do a factory reset in backup and restore or in the worst case reflash the stock rom with Odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Good idea. If that doesn't work then most likely it's hardware related. Mime locks on in seconds. GPS is light years ahead of S1 and S2.

But as mentioned earlier make sure you have a data connection or it could take ages.

Its the same but i just use the UK Pool server .

You could try the AGPS patch as a replacement editing your GPS.conf file to match .

Can someone give me a precise definition and how it applies to the 700?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Theshawty:
I/O is input/output, basically reading/writing to the flash memory.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
It can mean a lot of things depending on context, but in this case it refers to how fast data can be written to or read from the device's flash storage. As a way to save on ram use, applications will sometimes write data to storage so it can easily access it later if needed.

For example, all web browsers written within in the last 10 years do this as a way to speed up loading on frequently visited websites. That's why the ANRs are most common in the browser, and why using hacks to run the browser completely from ram fix the issue on the Prime.

The problem is, if you have slow disk access (be it by hardware limitations or, as appears to be the case here, poorly written software) everything grinds to a halt until the current operation and everything that was backed up as a result gets finished.

Hi @root@,

Would be able to build Pdroid patch for AOKP SGT Milestone 6, now that it is out?

I was using your patch for build #40.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] priyana:
Opps. find out that it was easy to do it myself. silly me.

I just downloaded the autopatcher zip.

unzip it

and place the aokp_sgt7-p1-milestone-6.zip in the same directory as the script and run

./auto_patcher aokp_sgt7-p1-milestone-6.zip pdroid aokp

(in linux of course)

and resulting the the the update.zip and restore.zip.

If you don't mind, I am posting them here,

for AOKP SGT p1 milestone 6 (Stimpz0r).

If you mind, @root@, I will remove them.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inmortal009:
The problem:

I can't get into download mode, when turn off the phone and connect it to USB or WALL charger it automatically boot the phone instead of show the battery charging image

The PC doesn't recognize it (tried many drivers), nothing happens its like I've never plugged it in!!! no messages, no icons NOTHING it just charge

What I've tried:

3 different usb cables

3 different PC (all usb ports)

3 Different galaxy s

Debuggin mode on/off thing

A lot of drivers

Also disassembled the phone to see if something as wrong with the usb port and everything seems in order.

Specs:

Stock 2.1-update1

T959UVKA2

Kernel 2.6.29

ECLAIR.UVKA2

Update 07/21/2012

using the sd card adapter mounted a update.zip called Overstock (It'll have a lock screen loop) but fortunately I comes with CWM and i had a ROM called [ROM][2.2 Froyo][Stock] T959UVKB5 [Deodexed w/Lockscreens+Power Menu] .It has a power menu where I can acces to the download mode but the problems stated above persist.

i cant believe this a hardware problem because it charge normally but this's going me crazy

Because of this I cant even odin soo I dont know what to do

Early I opened the phone again to check usb port and connections, everything seems to be ok... Installed a ICS ROM called SLIM and have the same problem sooo it has to me a hardware problem T_T but there are no usb port pins loose!!! if nobody have something to add I officially give up here...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
I'm not sure what else you can do. For me personally the only usb data cable that works for me is the one from the Tmobile store. I have 2 cables from amazon.com and my old usb cable. None of them work for some reason but they do work with my friends vibrant (weird). If a cable from tmobile doesn't work then the data pins on your usb port could be damaged while your charging pins are still ok( this happens). Tmobile has a 30 day return policy on the $15 usb cable so give that a try if you haven't already. If you end up having to replace your usb port I recommend www.mobiletechvideos.com, lots of users have had success with them in the past.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inmortal009:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davwman:
Had the gs3. Piece of junk in my opinion. now have the one s but it loses cell connection from time to time, a known issue. Seriously considering getting the gs2. How is cell reception, camera quality, build, any issues with loss of data connection?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _ice_:
Whoa gs3 to one s? Lol.

S2 IMO is the most stable T-Mobile ics supported phone.

-cell reception depends on your area+ modem

-rear camera is pretty good at 8 mp though it sucks in low light

-front camera is very good 2mp (.2+ mp over the s3) lol

-build quality is not as good as the HTC one s (plastic all around and a faux silver band around the housing- on the white s2) though it looks sexy

-again data depends on area, modem or even the rom (aosp based rom isn't as fast as tw roms) you need to experiment w certain modems in your area. I get 6-7mbps on a tw rom at my house, but I only get 1.5 mbps in aosp roms. Where as at my workplace I get 4-5 mbps regardless of what roms I'm running (latest ics modem)

Only issues certain devices have=

1. Screen issue, blobs and lines though this isn't severe on newer production units

2. Over heating

3. Mic issues on almost all ics roms

4. Lack of notification LED - but you can use BLN (back light notification)

But If you can find a galaxy nexus GSM unlocked I would go for the g nex anytime. Yes you may have slower data as it doesn't support 42+ hspa, or a 8mp camera sensor, but you will have almost the same screen size as the s3, notification LED and a better build quality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] spaceosc:
Bln?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _ice_:
Look up BLN app on the market you can use the soft key lights as notification led. Though you need a compatible kernel (and of course root to flash the kernel)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] davwman:
Yup sgs3 to one s. It blows the gs3 away on many things. Yes the gs3 has a huge screen, and yes it has expandable storage with a removable battery, but its a huge pos. Reception was horrendous. K know I said the one s I have loses data but at least it got 4g
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
To be honest every phone isnt for every individual. I have the SI SII and my friend has the SIII We all get the same reception inside my house so maybe you should have checked the connection strength. Did you happen to check cell reception in the same areas? Also did you do speed test? some times older phones will try and hold onto the 4g (hspa+) signal when really you should be going down to get a faster speed. Anyway onto the SII i love this phone and have no problems with reception however i live in a strong Tmobile market (austin texas).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Digital1325:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] potatomanjoe:
The s3 you got must have been in a bad batch or something. The One S has been having signal issues and I think its due to these new micro Sims we are using. If you get an s2 make sure you get the tmo sum that's made in india(has better reception for some reason) I use an s2 myself and if you root it with the right rom(cyangen mod 9) and have the right kernel, you're phones as good, if not better, then anything tmo offers right now

I wasn't talking about the price. i was talking about the development. The phone only has juggernaut like 3.0 in dec, then nothing until darkside showed up and eugene in feb. Then slow progress with a couple leaks here and there with devs coming and going. S3 will have amazing development soon just not so early on. I agree with everyone it's not worth fishing out some bones for it if you don't have the money for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
Actually, I'd rather buy another S2 if mine went out before I bought an S3. The low price of the S2 more than compensates for the minor upgrades of the S3 given it's price.
