>Would Google argue that this is acceptable... They can be picky and charge me the 15% restocking fee, thus making it far less likely that I ever buy from them again, or they can let it go and keep a customer.

It doesn't matter who is more "right." What matters is that it's Google's call. That's why peeps should buy from a retailer and not directly from the manufacturer, as it's generally easier to get your money back when there's a dispute.

"I won't buy from Google if they charge me restocking fee" -- Google would probably be happier if you buy from a retailer, as then it wouldn't have to deal with end-user support. That costs a lot of money, not to mention a lot of aggravation.

If you mean you won't buy Google wares in general, it's an empty threat. Most peeps here have a vested stake in Android, of which Google's Play store is the, umm, nexus. Google's Nexus toys still have the best support. You can of course forswear Android altogether and jump ship to...Apple, who is even more dictatorial? Or Microsoft, who has yet to have a tablet out?

>We'll see, because I'm sending the replacement back and getting another for that reason specifically.

Exchanges don't incur restocking fees. Only refunds.

BTW, display temp variation isn't normally considered a defect. It depends on the severity of course. But if it requires a side-by-side comparison to see the difference, then it's not "severe."

>The e-mail probably says "If no defect is found, there will be a 15% restocking fee."

The 15% restock fee applies to all refunds. There is no exception for defective returns. That doesn't mean you can't browbeat some rep into waiving the fee, but that's the normal policy.

E.mote, you're always so pedantic. That, and you must really type quickly. :)

Anyways, yes, the yellow tint is clear even by itself. Like I said, urine and all that.

That said, I'm personally not concerned because if anything ends up wrong with whichever one is the final one and Google wants to be a pain, then I'll just process the return through American Express. Never leave home without it.
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
Shocking as it would seem, not all of my replies cater to your personal predicaments. The prior post was more directed at the OP's obliviousness to warranties and return policies. Then again, it does reflect on your own situation, doesn't it?

As to being a pedant, I'm guilty as charged. I tend to pay attention to terms of a sale. It beats the alternative of ranting and raving on online forums of the "ridiculousness" of vendors when they enforce those terms.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Fair enough, and of course I was referring specifically to the public relations aspect of this launch vs. the letter of Google's policy. That's what made you pedantic, in that you were picking apart the details of my post while largely missing the point.

Incidentally, I haven't checked Google's policy too carefully but most retailers (which is what the Play store is) don't charge restocking fees for defective products.

Returning Nexus 7 8GB to Google Play

Hi,

I bought my Nexus 7 8GB from Google Play Store UK and I had a minor flickering problem when the screen was set to Automatic Brightness/Low Brightness.

I also had a very minor problem with the front left of the display which felt slightly loose. I emailed Google via their Help Centre asking for a replacement device and received the following email:

Two days later I received another email:

This email seemed too complicated for a simple exchange of a device so I replied saying I no longer wish to exchange the device. Reasons being, I can live with the minor problems and the system they use to exchange the device is just too long for me. (I am use to seamless service from Amazon). Also I was not sure if Google/Asus would regard my defects as covered under warranty, so I didn't want to take the risk of being charged extra.

I am still waiting for a reply to confirm that I can keep my current device and that no replacement will be sent. I hope they don't complicate this any further and charge me for no reason.
[Nexus 7 General] devmaster321:
Saw people abusing Best Buy's flexible return policy all the time, so I can't blame Google for imposing a restocking fee. When you buy something, you should check into the return policy before you purrchse and purchase accordingly.
[Nexus 7 General] Sdobron:
Where did I say I would never buy a Google product again? I just said I will never buy from Google Play again.

I didn't leave out any information; the screen has light bleeding, the USB plug doesn't always register when inserted, and there is a problem with internal storage showing the correct amount..looking like an 8 GB device instead of a 16 GB even though serial no. states otherwise.

Worst case scenario I will initiate a credit card dispute and get my money back in full either way.
[Nexus 7 General] skyyrocket:
Most companies charge a restocking fee for returning an item (at&t tmobile verzion etc etc), However i agree with the people that are getting charged to exchange/replace a defected item is crazy and i would never pay it
[Nexus 7 General] fonseca898:
I received that same email, but my "personalized shopping cart" does not work. It just states that there was an error, try back later.
[Nexus 7 General] rocchioo:
Over the phone, google told me they charge a restocking fee on defective items. They said they don't charge you a restocking fee if you choose to have a replacement sent. If you want a refund, you will be charged the restocking fee.

I was sent a Nexus 7 with a cracked screen.

I complained a little, and then they said if Asus determines my Nexus 7 damage wasn't caused by me, I would receive a full refund.

I told the customer service person that I am receiving a full refund no matter what Asus says. I know that the screen was cracked when I first opened the box.

I will probably have to contact the credit card company because apparently google is a shady company that doesn't give a **** about customers.

I bought my Nexus 7 from the google play store. Now I am at the mercy of Asus whether or not I get a refund?
[Nexus 7 General] nyijedi:
If you're at the mercy of Asus, you're in trouble. They completely suck balls.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
No offense, but if it was cracked out of the box, why are you using It first? Your picture clearly shows it turned on and running a program. I'm sure they're gonna question why it was turned on and registered.
[Nexus 7 General] rocchioo:
I wasn't sure if it was a crack on the screen or just a tear in the black material that forms the bezel.

I originally intended to keep my Nexus 7 hoping it was just a tear and not a crack. So, I used it.

I eventually posted a picture to get a 2nd opinion. After reading...

...I decided to call Google and ask to exchange my Nexus 7.

[Nexus 7 General] Clay74:
When I called Google to check on my refund....

I pre-ordered the Nexus 7, and received one with a lifted display. I sent it back for a refund, figuring they needed a few weeks to get their QC act together at Asus.

Two weeks after returning it, I called Google to check on my refund and explained my frustration about how UPS says Google has had my defective Nexus 7 return for ten days and I still haven't seen a refund (or even an e-mail acknowledgement from Google Play that they received it). The customer service rep told me the refunds take from 2-3 weeks. I mentioned that that seemed like a long time, and his response was,"Well, if we decide your device is not defective you won't even get a full refund, so keep that in mind." Veiled threat?

This is a great site, and I appreciate all I've learned from it already.

For the 16g, how much would you have paid?

I live outside the U.S., so it's pretty expensive.. I will have to pay $350 USD for it. This is including tax and international shipping. Would you do it? If I wait longer.. it would probably still cost like $300 in my country. I kind of want to have it in my hands now, and I will be traveling soon. Is it worth it? How much would you have paid?
[Nexus 7 General] GiantJay:
I live in California and mine came to about $283 with tax and shipping and our CA environmental fee.
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
16GB its probably a $350 tablet. But, at that price minor additional things would have been added that they couldn't hit with the low profit margin. SD card slot, Camera. They only made about $12 on the 8GB model.

The low price was the main focus on the 7 to provide DIRECT competition to the nook and kindle. Google has achieved that with sales predictions in the millions by end of year.

Hi everyone!

I'm pretty much begginer in Android development. I created some basic apps but nothing special.

I wonder what does it take to create a game like Doodle Jump?

It looks like not hard to do game, but I still don't know how to create anything that this game have.

Would someone who is professional in Android development like to explain it a little, and give me guidance to what areas I should learn more?

For example, how to create Doodle, dynamic background and how Doodle can respond to objects on it's way? And is all this created in OpenGL?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolsandie:

~Cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Yes, It can be done using OpenGL (ANDEngine can help you here), but it also can be done using generic tools, like the SurfaceView (the doodle jump background is a repetitive image, relatively easily achievable using surfaceview).

The platforms can be created aleatorily at level start, and can be storaged in an array, or a List (much better, since the List are dynamic) to manage them. Remember: all the platforms are the same image, so you only need their relative positions.

An algorithm to interact with the platforms can be:

if (doodle is falling) and (his feet touch a platform) then
Jump!()
end

if (doodle is jumping) then
scenaryScroll()
applyPhysics()
end

PD. I'm not a professional, I'm only giving you some suggestions ;).

Hey folks!

I was pretty lost yersterday. I was out late in a foreign city - no problem, since I have a navigation program and gps on my U.

Well, that's what I thought. I wasn't able to get a fix in 15min. I started to ask strangers for the way back to my hotel - at 2 AM.

At least I found the way back after a while. But I want to have that gps issue fixed :)

I attached a log, it shows:

-Enabling GPS

-Starting gpsfix (it pushed an ad right away :P )

-Waiting for a fix (for 2 or 3 minutes)

-Closing gpsfix

-Disabling GPS

Anybody out there who knows something about this issue?

I already changed the NTP server to a nearby one. I'm in germany and have the SSpeed Kernel.

Thanks, for every answer and attempt to help me :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] legendary1022:
You can use some DLNA and UPnP clients such as Twonky to stream from your android device to a Playstation 3. I currently don't have a Infinity so I can't test this, but it does work with my HTC Sensation. Since you are likely to be home to stream this, I just stream from my computer. But it can be done.
[Asus Transformer TF700] borchgrevink:
Ah, but not mirror the mobile screen?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Spidey01:
DLNA is a content service. A device can be any of some combination, like I stream crap, I serve crap, I display crap, I control crap. So a movie stored on a DLNA device that can serve, can be sent to a DLNA device that knows how to play it, and you can even run the show from a DLNA device that knows how to control stuff.

Miracast can be more like HDMI out without the HDMI cable. Think WiFi Direct + VNC but using H.264.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
It depends. Samsung, HTC, and Apple all make money by offering AllShare, Media Link, and AirPlay as proprietary standards which require device owners to buy their accessories. Miracast makes sense for Nexus devices so they offer similar capabilities. Asus could make more money by following Samsung, HTC, and Apple or they could go with a published standard and give their device owners more flexibility. Either way you'll be buying accessories from someone to make it work. And it'll take an awfully long time before you'll see devices natively equipped with Miracast to receive content. AirPlay hasn't been adopted in media devices and there are ten times more Apple devices supporting it than there will be Android devices supporting Miracast. Publishing a standard and seeing it widely adopted (on both ends) are two different things.
