They upgraded my shipping to overnight. I was mad it took so long but they didn't even have to do that. They had no release date to meet and from the time the packages were received by the shipper they have been getting to their destinations on time.
[Nexus 7 General] jaspabt:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-order

Standard definition, so don't really think its my own personal expectation. Have you ever preordered an item not expecting it on release date?

Not wanting an argument, I just feel that people have a right to complain if they are unhappy with an item or service. That is what people are doing. I think the petition is for those that feel isolated complaints is insufficient.
[Nexus 7 General] 808Nexus:
There was no hard and fast release date announced. When pre-ordering, the page said 'ships in 2 to 3 weeks'. They shipped it within that time frame. They charged you for 2 day shipping, they sent it 2-day shipping. For a limited time they are offering a $25 credit to entice early adopters and it was waiting on the device when I powered it on. They held up all of the promises they made regarding the order. To me it seems pretty cut and dry, but some people feel that it wasn't enough.

Also, a couple of posters in this thread called up and made isolated complaints and received shipping refunds whereas the petition hasn't seemed to have done anything.
[Nexus 7 General] djkinetic:
depends on the state and country you're in, I had to as google charges sales tax in IL, what sucks is that had I known it was gonna take this long I would have just picked it up locally and not had to have paid shipping in addition to sales tax...think I'm gonna phone google tomorrow and get them to refund my shipping cost.

I currently have ICS with CWM 5.5.0.4. I'm trying to go back to everything stock since I'm giving away the phone.

From what I'm read so far, I would have to do the following. Someone please correct me if this is the wrong order.

1. flash stock recovery (from Binary100100)

2. re-lock bootloader

3. re flash stock ROM

So far i'm still stuck on step 1.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
After relocking bootloader, just download the OTA ICS RUU, rename the file to PH85IMG.zip, put it on your microSD card, and boot into bootloader. It'll automatically recognize the file and restore back to stock ICS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] medmansri:
Thanks. After many attempts, I finally figured out I was having a problem with Windows 64bit, switched to a 32bit and everything went smoothly. Good thing I still have an old 32bit windows machine, it saved the day.

thanks for the tip.
[HTC Amaze 4G] koroth:
Problem doing that same. Any help?

I am curious about what problem you were having. Was it the fact that it was 64 bit, or was it just an issue with the computer? I am trying to do the same thing you have done. My issue is that when the phone tries to install PH85IMG from the sd card it fails after checking and sends me back to the hboot screen. I am on wind mobile and had stock ICS prior to rooting and getting into my current issue.

Just thought you might have a suggestion? I have followed all the same steps you did.
[HTC Amaze 4G] medmansri:
Follow post 2 for the order of install, kered424's reply.

The trouble I was having was for my computer to recognize my phone was connected in order to re-lock the bootloader. I tried it on two different Win7 64bit and was running into the same problem were they search for the driver(via windows update) but end up failing to install. I think it said failed to install HTC device 1 or something like that. So after being frustrated for 3 hrs, I tried it on a 32bit Win7 machine. As soon as i plugged in the phone, it installed from windows update and I was able to go on with the bootloader re-lock.

Not sure if I did something wrong on the 64bit pc's but that's my story.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdttu:
I have had a GSM Galaxy Nexus for quite a while. I've had Stock ICS on it, as well as many different non-stock ICS and JB ROMs running on it.

I've noticed that, from time to time, the screen will become considerably less responsive than it usually is. I usually notice when trying to swipe down the Notification Window. I will have to swipe several times to get it to actually work, when it usually works every time, easily. If I swipe slower and apply more pressure, it works. Also, typing on the on-screen keyboard when this issue is occurring is a disaster. The system misses about a third of my touches, and mistypes every word practically.

If I reboot or wait a while, it goes away. I've been trying to shut down various often-used apps while it's occuring to see if I can remedy the issue, but so far I haven't found an app that might be causing the problem.

Anyone else have this issue? It's so noticeable for me that I can try to do the usual motion I do to bring down the Notification Window over 10 times before it will actually respond.

It's either something basic with Android, or my hardware has a little bug. Not sure which.

I see a few posts on the forums of other phones about this, but not on here with the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] susejchristo:
I'm having the exact same issues. Its also very noticeable in the keyboard as well. Sometimes in the app drawer. Its extremely obnoxious and only seems to do it on jelly bean Roms... may I ask what kernel you're running? I'm on Franco 223 384mhz gpu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayochs:
hey man, i've noticed this same thing on mine running Jb (joel's bamf jelly)...i notice it when typing, though. a lot of times i just completely MISS keystrokes, and my words come out all ****ed up. i honestly was starting to think i'm crazy, but i'm glad to see others with JB are having this issue! again, if i reboot as well, it goes away. wtf?

i'm running whatever kernel joel has stock in hsi rom, which i beleive is just the stock JB kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lgandroid:
Exactly same issue here, but simply turning screen off and back on solves it. No need to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdttu:
Running one of the early loads of 4.1.1 that required you to load 4.1, then overlay 4.1.1 over it to get get camera working properly. But it's stock minus being rooted/busybox loaded on it. Running the stock kernel with the JB baseband that released, btw.

Before that I was running AOKP and CM9, both of which did the same thing to me - which is what made me think it was an app that was interfering, but I haven't been able to prove that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Search my thread called touch sensitivity, I wrote all about this. Its an annoying bug that has no fix. Lock then unlock the screen resets it and makes it return to normal. But it eventually happens again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lorin_93:
I also had this issue, and as someone said earlier, just switching the screen off and then back on fixes it for a while. But I recently updated my baseband to XXLF1 (yes, I'm from Europe) and switched to AndroidME CM10 Rom and the issue is gone (had been using the one from team inferno before). Don't know if it was the Rom or the radio...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dark06:
Since alot of users are saying it was non existent in 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 was wondering if someone could look into the touchscreen drivers?maybe there is a glitch.btw sometimes it would not appear for a day

Galaxy Nexus w/ 4.1.1 and trinity
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lorin_93:
Yes, that's a good point to start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] susejchristo:
I originally thought this issue was due to a kernel malfunction, but looking at the replies here, apparently not. I don't remember it happening on ICS at all, but with jelly bean and project butter being so smooth and all, I have recently become much more attentive to the responsiveness of my screen so it's much more noticeable. I guess the best thing to do is try different Roms and see if the problem persists.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Well, as stated above, CM10 seems to eliminate this problem completely. I just flashed a CM10 ROM and man is there a difference. It is extremely smooth and battery life seems significantly better than others ROMs on jelly bean right now. I highly suggest giving it a go. I upgraded my cwm recovery to 6.0.Something too. Dunno if that's relevant, but just thought I'd say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dark06:
Are you using the euroskank one? If yes then thats what im using too and still have this problem tho not worse than others, my keyboard works properly.just that my scrolling and swiping tightens up a bit which forces you to swipe longer and more pressure than normal

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkoolj8282:
:crying: So this is the first time in a while I have posted here. But annoyingly enough my Gtab (for the second time) has not been taking charge. It will turn on when plugged it (but no red light) so I assume its the battery that won't take a charge. The last time this happened I formatted it, then nvflashed it, and let it sit for 24 hrs before charging. I will try that again but any help or input is appreciated :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
One of my Gtabs doesn't charge very well either. The charging pin is messed up and will only charge when I plug it in and prop it in a certain way. Sometimes the red light turns off, sometimes it stays on but still doesn't charge. Eventually I will have to re-solder the connection, but have been putting it off. If you cannot fix it by other means (try a different charging cable? reflash as you suggested?) here is a good set of instructions on how to do this.

Gtab Charging Pin Repair

Good luck and I hope it doesn't come to this. You could also buy a charging dock if you don't want to tear apart and solder your tablet. Also, here is some info on battery replacement if that turns out to be your problem.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Potimto:
+1 to DaggerDave's suggestion.

From my research the Gtabs power plug is very VERY flimsy. I've had to solder mine back on (and a hefty amounts of glue) and now it works fine, though I treat it very delicately. The dock is going at around $50 on fleabay (search malata/gtab dock)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkoolj8282:
YAY

tthats really good information thanks! :laugh:

but i did get it to work. I opened up my tablet and checked to make sure the battery was plugged in its socket thing. Guess what. it wasnt.

It probably became loose when i had to open it up to fix my screen. So all i did was reattach it and put a small piece of electrical tape over it, just in case.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _thalamus:
You need to install a better app. The Android built in power usage thing is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, and better battery stats isn't much better.

Try system panel from Play, you will need the paid version from here. Put it in monitoring mode and leave it for a few hours.

You will be able to see what is chewing CPU then, and that is invariably the thing that is causing the drain. It very rarely fails to assist me with diagnosis of an obscure drain issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
Ok..just bought system panel app.will update about this crazy battery drain later..

Thanks thalamus..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _thalamus:
Cool, it's well worth the couple of dollars.

I've used it pretty much constantly in monitoring mode since they were in beta when I had my desire. So, probably not far off a couple of years usage with me.

It doesn't eat battery either, because it polls when the device wakes up for another reason.

And the thing which really makes it good for me, it records usage of the system tasks, such as kernel threads, which can be massively handy in diagnosing an issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LtdEdFred:
Good evening ladies and gents.

I'm about to jump off the fence and buy a new phone (and since I'm posting here I guess you've figured that I'm seriously considering the S3). But before I choose I want to know which games I can expect to be able to play. I stumbled onto the Tegra Zone a few months after I bought my Desire HD and was quite disappointed that it didn't support the content. I know the S3 doesn't have Tegra but stil a lot of the games are still supported/available.

I've now read through dozens of threads but I'm unable to find out how one figures out which games the S3 can run. In some cases I see thats it's just the "ultra high" setting that isn't supported (1. is this correct?). 2. Is there a different version of most games that are meant for non-Tegra devices or is it the exact game but some of which lack the highest graphics settings? Lastly: 3. Are there any games that S3 owners won't be able to play in the foreseeable future?

I would really appreciate input to any of my questions. Have a good day/night :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
It runs Mali-400 games and if you decide to Root just install Chainfire 3D and you can run most Tegra and any other games.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrokenPixel:
S3 can play anything but Tegra3 Specific games, there is an app made by Chainfire it's called "Chainfire3D" where it emulates all different graphic chips in the market, so basically you can play all non-tegra and tegra games that aren't Tegra3 specifc as mentioned above. The app needs root in order to work. Dead trigger is the latest game to come out and it plays VERY nice and smooth. Shadowgun tegra2 version works, Pinball THD, Fruit Ninja THD, NBA Jam works nice PES2011, Blood and Glory work pretty well... I'm not much into gaming, those are the games I own, and I can say they are the ones that will hammer the CPU and GPU pretty good. I'm not sure what you mean with "ultra high settings" everything works. remember that the screen size is 1280x800 so some games that are made for smaller screen will have black bars or some cropping or some weird behavior, but I've only seen that on "time killer" games, can't recall which game was that showed this behavior, but still playable.

Hope that straight things out a bit for you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanyong:
Chain fire helps with some tegra games but it's not perfect eg sonic 4 ep 2 lags like treacle and some tegra games don't work at all. However the graphics hardware in the gs3 is the fastest in the world for a smartphone so there's a lot of potential. But tbh gaming without hardware buttons is pretty crap anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LtdEdFred:
Thank you all for your replies.

I had already read through the post you mentioned slking1989 but even though it assured me that a lot of quality games are supported it didn't give me a definite answer regarding how to determine beforehand if a game will run or not (like "system requirements" or similar). I'm guessing the reason HQ games doesn't show up in the Play store on my current phone is that it doesn't support themn thus it's no points showing them but since I don't have the phone yet I wanted to do some research.

My choice is between the S3 and the HOX but after your replies the S3 was pushed further ahead in the race (only kept back by the insecurity around Tegra games really). Now I just have to decide which color to get.

So I have the option of getting a Galaxy Nexus here in the next few days for Sprint. I currently have the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. I have been browsing the Nexus threads for awhile now and I have seen plenty of threads that show both the pros and cons to the phone. The only problem is, everything is so scattered. Do you think you guys would be able to give me the direct pros and cons for the phone? Why would I like it better then the E4GT? I have a couple of friends that have the Nexus and I absolutely love it, but they don't know as much about the actual phone itself then you guys do. And honestly, I am with them on that, but I joined XDA to learn all about this stuff and I have learned a lot :D

So... Any information would help. I know that Nexus definitely get their updates a lot faster from what I have read.

Actually how about you tell me why I shouldn't get the phone? That might be easier? Regardless, thank you very much.

I am currently on the stock FF18 build for the E4GT and am having just a few minor issues with it. I updated the PRL for the phone this morning and ever since then, I have had horrible battery, my 4G won't start up, the phone is running extremely hot, and just a lot of things that I don't want to deal with.

Mean reason not to get it for me: no SD card. But I bought it anyway, and I'm very happy with it. Extremely smooth, never any lag at all. Just need to be a bit conservative with disc space.

You obviously like the phone. Get it. You won't be disappointed by it. I almost fell for the S3 hooblah but happy I chose Gnex first. I don't care for physical buttons and am a HUGE AOSP fan! The SD thing had me concerned but on average everyone is packing about 32gb with SD cards anyhow. The 5mp camera is not as bad as one would think though I don't expect my phone to take professional photos. And once you find a winning kernel/ROM combo battery life is fine. It may not be the most powerful phone in the world but what phone is?? (At least for more than a month or so before the next phone craps on it.)

If you need convincing to buy a phone over another, then what's the point of even thinking of buying a phone? If we convince you or force you in any way, you might not like the phone when you actually have it.
