Why is. Chrome not available on the droid 4? Its definitely powerful enough to run it, yet its not available on the play store. Is there any other way to get it?
[Motorola Droid 4] mccompunerd:
Chrome for Android is only available on phones running Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean.

It's a software limitation, not hardware.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sjaakbanaan:
That is correct. It works fine in the leaked ICS versions (in fact, the stock browser seems to be based on Chrome as well)

I got my phone on launch day white and I wanna exchange it for the blue.

Will t-mobile let me exchange it?

What is there guide lines with this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
I believe the exchanging policy is permitted 30 days from purchase (AT&T, idk if that goes for other carriers, but I believe other carriers do have this in some way or another), and that is for a new phone. I don't think you can exchange it for a color, and if you could there is a restocking fee you have to pay.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] liquid.emotion:
Exchanging policy is permitted 30days only in California. The rest of the states are limited to 14days.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
That is incorrect in my case. I live in New York, and got my phone, the Galaxy S3 from AT&T. I do indeed have the 30 day exchange policy, the woman who helped set up my phone even said so.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Only att does that, other carriers do only 14 days, I had all of them myself, unless you get it from a third party store like walmart, best buy, etc (this exclude California)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Boom. There you go
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Maybe he wants 3g over edge since cdma carriers have that

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] saldebot:
From my past experiance they will not exchange it for a diffrent color. Even if you tell them that there is a problem with the white unit. I had to return it, get my money back and purchase it again in the color I wanted. Keep in mind this was before the $50 restocking fee.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Good info I forgot to mention that too, that's what they charged me to exchange mine
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jaytxvo:
You can also purchase a blue back battery cover and then get the blue Spectre Tempered Glass Screen Protector and your phone is now blue....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KillaHurtz:
When ordering mine thru 611, I asked "What if I don't like the white, can I return it for blue, will there be a restocking fee?" and she told me no. I also have PHP and have been a customer since the voicestream days.
[Hero CDMA General] sirmatto:
On an old Sprint Hero with stock 2.1 Sense ROM, I recently rooted, wiped and installed CM 7.2. At first, Superuser was working and I was able to restore things like old SMS. However, after a day, Superuser is no longer able to grant root access to things like Titanium Backup or even itself. I tend to get a force close for Superuser when trying to elevate. I've tried downgrading the Superuser APK to the version that came with CM 7.2 (I had upgraded it). I've also tried booting into recovery to replace the binary su. Neither option works.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and found a way around it?
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
Try installing busybox from the play store also try updating the app from within the app if you haven't already

I can go into clockworkmod recovery, and when I attemped to restore from my back up it fails
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
The only thing I can assume is you have a bad backup. I would recommend starting over then
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T3hBraveBoss:
I think its becuase when I flashed the rom the kernel changed

so what do I do at this moment
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
Go back to stock, find your stock .tar firmware and install through ODIN
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T3hBraveBoss:

I just switched over from iOS and found the guides on here were easy to follow and didn't have any issues :). Getting the right downloads is probably the key :)

And what do you mean by "Phone will not fully boot after flashing a rom" How far does it go when booting and what happens?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T3hBraveBoss:
Just boot screen doesn't fully boot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cavsoldier19d:
It is worth the trouble if...

A. You know what you are doing.

B. You read and research.

C. You know how to recover in the event something goes wrong.

Flashing isn't for everyone. Even if you follow directions things can still go wrong in rare situations. That's just the nature of flashing.

It works for 1.22. It unlocks your phone and installs twrp. You just have to flash chainfires 0.94 superuser to be fully rooted
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Wait, this is getting confusing. We should always be able to unlock thru htcdev on this phone no matter the firmware update. Achieving S-OFF is not yet possible on hboot 1.15, so, that's what some of us are hoping to have...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
Yes, S-OFF on hboot 1.15 is a work-in-progress, perhaps with a future Lazy Panda exploit.

I believe the original user's requirement was root and unlocked on the current OTA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
These are HTC phones. You can always use HTC dev as a last resort. We will always have root.

Also, don't accept otas if your rooted or ever plan on rooting.

What do you get from being s-off? I'm htc dev unlock with s on and I've been able to run every rom with no problem and able to update my radio?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Believe that s-on with the new hboot restricts u as to what is flashable, ie kernels, splash screens, radios. Whereas the old hboot does not. Why some of us are waiting for s-off on current ota/hboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
For anyone who's got a creaky back cover, and for whatever reason you can't get another one, here's something to try to get rid of it. I don't know if it applies to all phones/creaks, but it makes sense for this to be the location of the creaky back cover on the amaze. On the back cover, at the bottom just before there's a break to the phone's body, the lip looks like it curves around too much (see circled area on attached pic), and makes contact with the frame of the phone, causing it to squeak as it slides over it. Could be either side, but mine was on the left, facing the phone.

Looks like when they made the back cover, they machine a lot of the inside, but don't contour the shape of the frame, so this is typical with any kind of metal forming. Anyway, my spare cover had the creak, so I used a knife to shave the aluminum. Just shave that little bit of corner off (see attached pic), and only do a bit at a time, and test it after you remove any, you don't want to be gouging the thing. Anyway, I took off a minimal amount from my cover and the squeak is gone.

So there it is, I expect some flaming :D , but for those who love modifying your phone with a butter knife, or like I said can't get a new cover without buying one, try this, and I hope it helps somebody out.

Cheers, to HTC quality :rolleyes:

[Nexus 7 General] rolexconfuse:
So I have a nexus 7 that i recently purchased. I'm still on the fence about it. My wife has an IPAD (1st gen) I find it too big for me so i never purchased one. I had a blackberry playbook (loaner) from the company for a little but everything was terrible except navigation (that was pretty cool).

So when I saw the nexus I decided to give it try but then I also saw the excite 7.7 and the AMOLED screen. The bigger screen (7.7 vs 7), MICROSD card support and the colors on the AMOLED screamed "buy me".

Anyway, I know the excite cost more money but it's not like I'm going to swap out my tablet every 2 years for a new one. I'm not really into rooting or hacking so unlocking isn't a big concern for me.

I am stuck between bigger screen, Amoled, + micro sd card vs affordability of the nexus, Jelly bean OS + future direct updates from Google

Other fear I have is how long will the AMOLED screen will last. I keep hearing stories about burn in but is it a inherent problem of OLED or is it just bad QC?

Anyway what should I do? I'm really on the fence with these 2 tablets
[Nexus 7 General] sprintuser1977:
Return it. If you need someone else to tell you what you want you don't need it. Not trying to sound harsh but really, what ever happened to researching and buying something because you want it. You don't need a stranger to tell you that you need or want something.

[Nexus 7 General] Tomatoes8:
Unless you have to have the quad core tegra 3, wait until the tab 7.7 goes on clearance. It's the same thing basically but with a better build and an older processor.

As for AMOLED. The only problem you will have is if you put it on display from opening to closing on full brightness for half a year. With normal use, there is no way it won't survive like 10 years without burn in.
[Nexus 7 General] rolexconfuse:
I did my research on both products but both seems to have good points and bad points. To me they both seem to balance each other out. If i had oodles and oodles of money I would just buy both and then give one off to a family member but I don't have that kind of cash.

I didn't want someone to tell me which to buy, I'm asking for people's view regarding the 2 and what they think.
[Nexus 7 General] Jaytronics:
People come to XDA for advice. They don't need people trashing them. Granted we should do some research before asking questions herebor anywhere else like. But, is looks as though the OP did do some research. You can tell this.due to the fact that he asked about burn.in when it came to AMOLED screens. And he did not hint at looking for some one to tell him what to do. It's funny, people will take the time and possibly sound like ass hats being a jerk or the like. But it is to much for them to give some sort of opinion or a fact regarding an answer to an OP question. I seriously think some people love to to find reason to complain, ***** and just be negative. If some one is being offensive then go to gold and tear them a new one. Otherwise it is better for all if you just don't speak. Thank.you and drive through.
[Nexus 7 General] Euthye:
I've got both and I prefer to use the N7 because of weight and portability but the 7.7 is great and definitely has the nicer screen and let's face it it isn't heavy. My N7 doesn't appear to have the common faults but I would wait for a fix to be put in place by Asus/Google before buying and the 7.7 is only going to get cheaper and better software over time. Short term if cost is a factor I'd buy a fixed N7 knowing I had a good tab.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
You mentioned that you don't want to upgrade your tablet every two years. However at the pace these tablets evolve, both hardware and software, I think you really might want to.

The Nexus 7 at half the price of the Excite 7.7, sounds like it might be option if spending $500 on a tablet means you'll feel obligated to stick with it for several years.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Based on what you wrote and your desire to get advice, I would guess you're not going to be the biggest tablet user on the market. So I would recommend the Nexus 7. Save the money and if you find your are just loving tablet life, upgrade down the road...if not, or if you are still happy with the N7, then you're good to go.
[Nexus 7 General] rolexconfuse:
using it for movies and web surfing most of the time. And some gaming on occasion.
[Nexus 7 General] Souai:
depends on what you plan to use it for. for web browsing and book reading and anything involving white pages, the google nexus 7 will have longer battery life simply because when an oled is set to white, it can consume more than twice the amount of power compared to an lcd with an led backlit display. conversely, if you do a lot of things that use darker colours, ie. gaming, movies, etc. then the amoled will have better battery life.

both have tegra3, so its up to the price. for the price of the excite, i'd probably spend a bit more and buy a transformer, but thats just me.
[Nexus 7 General] TUnit:
The burn in is due to the degradation of the organic molecules. I have had an SGS2 since August last year and it has spent most of the screen time on minimum brightness (with TW). I have noticed there has been a bit of burn in of my wallpaper where there is a sharp contrast between very dark and very light parts of the screen. So long as you stay away from large amounts of white or blues in the background then, in theory, it shouldn't be too bad (blue degrades about twice as quickly iirc). Also if it gets particularly bad you'd probably have a case under the warranty as it is a design "fault". Obviously that's only really useful with phones so if you are planning to keep the tablet more than two years, which is likely, then this may be an issue for you.

I haven't looked at the Excite so I can't offer any opinion on which I'd prefer, except to say I have the N7 and have found particularly good.
[Nexus 7 General] guthrien:
Nexus 7 is really made for this scenario. For the investment it really can't be beat.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] Tomatoes8:
Battery life can't really be gauged like that even though what you say isn't wrong. The tab 7.7 has the best battery life out of any tablet period and it uses an AMOLED screen. Not sure about the excite battery life though.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I did a review of the Excite 7.7, and couldn't recommend it because of what I'm guessing is the AutoBrite "feature" that Toshiba uses to conserve power. What it does basically is reduce brightness and contrast depending on what's on the screen. In the case of the Excite 7.7, whenever there's a lot of white on a page (say, a Web page), then brightness and contrast are cut way back and the screen becomes colder (i.e., more blueish) and washed out. I found it very disappointing and distracting.

Also, I didn't find the Excite 7.7 to have very good battery life. Certainly, no better than the Nexus 7, and nowhere close to what the Galaxy Tab 7.7 gets.
