[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Thank you this is exactly my point.

This is going to probably be my first and only purchase for a google device form the google play store. Why is there no standard replacment like any normal company does such as Evga for example or a online retailers such as Amazon newegg etc.

What is up with the advanced link?

I hate to say it but my Dad just pointed out that something is shady about this only giving you this one option. What scares me the most is the following

"Additional charges up to the full price of your device will be incurred if our service center determines that the damage to your original device isn’t covered under warranty. Prior to ordering your replacement and sending your device for inspection, please refer to the warranty card in the Nexus 7 packaging or visit www.asus.com for details on the ASUS limited warranty."
[Nexus 7 General] jrpbulk:
First, first world problem. Second, sounds like you don't have your priorities straight. 3rd life ain't easy. 4th if you don't like it complain to them and do business with companies that meet your needs. Last, owning a N7 is not a right you aren't entitled.
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
I've never had to return my asus laptop and netbook to them since I have warranties with best buy but I really haven't heard a lot of good things with asus and their warranty. Personally that's why I'm sticking with google at the moment. My original was epic screen lift and I got replacement on friday and haven't hardly used it between friday and saturday due to work and it has a dead pixel and something is rattling around near the top. I'd rather have Google 2 day me a new one then wait god knows how long for asus.
[Nexus 7 General] jrpbulk:
Ever hear of money orders., paying by cash as in waiting until you can walk into a store and buy one. You are wrong, there are many options starting with take your business elsewhere.

By the way I would be careful suggesting something is shady that is pretty much a common business practice.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
So, if I have to RMA, I have to have an additional $199 for the tablet on a credit card? I thought the policy was for Google to try to take the additional money AFTER the amount of time has passed that they didn't receive the tablet back (21 days?).

It's going to be real tricky trying to keep $200 on a card... especially since bills and stuff usually take my card below $200 each month. But then again, I guess I can hope to have a flawless device :p
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
So it's common for businesses to force you to do an advanced replacement with no other options when 10 other businesses I've dealt with offer what I'm saying?

So in your option you should have double the cost of an item on your card before you buy it for this very reason? :confused:

Let me make it very clear

NOT EVERYBODY HAS A CREDIT CARD OR $200 IN EXTRA MONEY THEY CAN PUT ON HOLD FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND A HALF!!!

WHAT IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT

DO YOU BUY PRODUCTS AND SAY THAT YOU NEED DOUBLE THE AMOUNT ENCASE THE PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE? NO!

SERIOUSLY!
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
They're not "taking" your money. They're putting a temporary authorization of the amount of whatever account you're using for the replacement (such as a bank account, credit card, etc.) Once they receive the defective tablet within 21 days and make sure it's all good then they'll take that temp authorization off your account. But if it's not returned to them within the 21 days that's when I believe they can charge you.

This will explain it more too

https://play.google.com/about/device-terms.html
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Yes, But the problem occurs when you don't have the extra money to put on hold.
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
Yea well sorry to burst your bubble but the minute you ordered your tablet and an email was sent to you saying thank you for your purchase they provided the link to their devices support. So from that moment they laid out the whole process of how this would work. Now whether or not you read it well that was your choice but all that information was there and just didn't mysteriously show up.

https://play.google.com/about/device-terms.html
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Thanks for that link!

It appears I will have to deal with Asus.

Google leaves you no other options which is nice but you are right.
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
No problem just trying to help out. Good luck with Asus. Hopefully it goes fairly smooth.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
And I appreciate that. Will probably have to front shipping costs.

Maybe Google will allow me to do is this way? Still awaiting an email.

If not I'll use Asus I guess.

Maybe ASUS RMA will be better anyways. Hopefully a fixed device from them. Would they have newer better batches?
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
With their quality control probably not. Seeing as I've now had 2 defective ones I'm going to try for a third and see how that ends up.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
Well mine is perfect expect for the screen flicker form WiFi data. I can turn the brightness up to get rid of it but annoying.

I guess I could just keep it and wait like 3 months and then replace it then with Asus when they have worked the problems out.

My last Asus RMA took 12 days for my P8P67 Pro motherboard and the sandy bridge fiasco. Hopefully it would be faster then that.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
How is getting a device without manufacturing defaults an act of entitlement. That's what the consumer paying for a crap shoot of a device working/functioning? If not just keeping a broken device and being "well that's all I deserved"

I guess if you bought a refrigerator and it didn't work would you just leave it there and go buy another one?

Its nice you liked Adams rant about the youth these days but buying consumer products that are faulty was not even near the point, and you didn't understand the topic

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Hello all!

As promised, here is the first release of Lightning Zap tweaks for the Blaze 4G from Team Fah-Q (formerly known as Team Kick Ass)!

DISCLAIMER:

I am NOT responsible for anything YOU do that causes damage to your device. Follow the instructions to TEE and there won't be any problems.

This version is ONLY for Gingerbread ROMs and a GB kernel that supports init.d scripts.

How do you know if your kernel supports init.d scripts? There are a number of ways to check, but the best way is to ask the developer of that kernel. You can also check in the ROMofCHOICE.zip by navigating to /system/etc/init.d. If the original .zip of your ROM has an init.d folder with scripts in it, then you are good to go.

What is Lightning Zap?

Lightning Zap is a set of tweaks that I have written and compiled to make the Blaze 4G Lightning fast, super smooth, and contain excellent battery life!

What's included in Lightning Zap Blaze Basic:

Battery tweaks for awesome battery life

Governor tweaks for amazing speed and performance without sacrificing battery life

Kernel tweaks

Memory and Ram tweaks

Cleaner tweaks

Build.prop tweaks

Internet speed tweaks

and MORE!

Install instructions:

Make a full nandroid backup and then backup your data with titanium or something alike

***Download link is at the bottom of this post***

Download Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1.zip to pc (Can be downloaded to sdcard also)

Place Lightning Zap! Blaze Basic v1.zip on sdcard

Flash

Allow phone to set for 10 minutes after reboot

Enjoy

Thanks to the donators:

so i if i flash this over dk7 it wont change the awesome battery on this rom? this will jus tweak speeds for internet and stuff, jus wanna know before flashing? thanks

thomas.raines
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
And just think, this is just the basic version. Once I get the full and final version done you will truly be amazed!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
well, take it for what you will, but I am on dknight7 at 9 hours uptime with minimal usage and the battery is at 98%. Keep in mind this is minimal usage which means no calls/text but wifi data sync is on, installed a few essential apps like root explorer angry birds and tt backup and a little bit of youtubing and web browsing.

So with that said, flash at your own risk, but I am pretty sure my tweaks are unmatched...lol (no offense Eril... you are still my superstar...lol)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Nice job Thomas, look forward to seeing what else you have cooking. Battery life has been awesome so far with build 7. This should only enhance performance

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] LiveFaster:
DKnight+LightingZap= awesome!

I'm at 27% battery with about 17 hours on time and 4 hours and 20 minutes of screen time, and I've been using the phone quite a bit today texting and surfing!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] badboy68:
Flashed yesterday. Never charged the fone yet. Jus browsing and games' checking emails, fbing, calls and texts. Sitting at 42% damn good. Thanx for this
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thesh0ck:
Do not think this works on STOCK - rooted/w cwm (looking at you update script and the actual files in the zip).

There isnt suporrt for init.d style startup scripts in stock-rooted anywhere that I could find, So your sysctl.conf will work but all of the init.d scripts will be ignored.

I'm assuming dknight7 has this support? If it doesnt then its not doing anything but the sysctl.conf tweaks on that either.

Also some of your sysctl settings have been shown to slow the phone down over several days and increase the number of reboots needed.

One specifically I saw in 03systweak:

echo 50 > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure;

This does speed up things a great deal on the short term. However it gives you a max of 2-3 days before you have to reboot your phone as it slowly begins to lag it down. A setting of 1 is less than a day, a setting of 100(default) gives you weeks without need of reboot. So people need to be notified that these tweaks are not stable, and in order to keep the improvements these tweaks provide, and you will find yourself rebooting more often.

It has also been shown that most of these tweaks do in fact use more battery. There is no magic performance improment without the use of more power on android in many cases. There are some phones where the initial config is not optimal and these tweaks would show a great improvment. The blaze 4g phones on the other hand, are so fast even at stock, and get such great battery life, I dont see why such a thing would even be applicable for them.

Stock Rom - Rooted Kernel

Thomas, I'm on the stock rom (latest update) with the rooted Kernel. Will that combo work or should I look for a different kernel to install? I don't want to switch roms when I expect that ICS should be coming out within a month or two and the phone is generally running reasonably well as is. Thanks in advance.

This is the kernel that I'm using btw... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1591598
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
I am updating the OP which should answer your question...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
No, it won't work on stock kernel because init.d scripts are supported...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Phantom_G2x:
Is anyone else having trouble with installing OTA updates? I just received one for stability and once it rebooted to the recovery (CWM) it failed. Would I have to remove my custom recovery then?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Ceelos09:
OTA updates can only be applied using the stock recovery. If you are on a custom recovery (i.e. CWM) then updates will fail. Only way to update will be to wait for someone to create a CWM flash able update based on the OTA update. Either that, or go back completely stock and allow the OTA to install itself
[General Topics] J.Krunkee:
Anyone seen the prices of the Samsung Galaxy Tab P6200 "jump" to $400+ on amazon.com?

Because of the grandiose work done by xda-developers and others/ the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is now going for a higher $400+ on amazon.com. I bought mines w/ honeycomb 3.2 for $200/cash >>> upgraded to ICS 4.0.4. Sweet! ;)

I pre-ordered the GS3, and it was poorly built, so I called them and had them send me a replacement. Looking at the two normally, I can't tell a difference. However, I looked at them through my polarized sunglasses and there is a HUGE difference. The first one I got was much darker, harder to see, and had a little bit of color distortion/rainbowing. With the newer one, I can barely tell a difference between having the sunglasses on or off (which is good, I think). I was just wondering if anybody knew why this might be happening or if there would be any technological differences between the two.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nah, there's only one display model being produced which is HD Super AMOLED. My guess about the difference in screen quality is due to quality control. That's bound to occur with early models of phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Yup, not all screens are created equal. I got lucky with mine cause it doesn't have any issues like inky lines on low brightness like my friend's gnex does. Sounds like you got unlucky the first time and received a poor screen.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XEURONIX:
Hi,

As the title says. I'm wondering if this SGS3 is also LTE which means that I will be able to use 4G in the near future here in Sweden.

Any thoughts?

Just wanna know if it's capable if it's supports 4G.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Think the LTE ones are 2gb ram but only dual core. So maybe check your ram. Or even check with google
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuit89:
LTE versions are only available in North America, Japan and South Korea.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joergner:
If you bought it in Sweden, I am pretty sure it is an International model without LTE.

And even if it was an LTE model, you would not be able to use it in Sweden because North America and Europe does not use the same frequencies for LTE.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
4g not too many here in Sweden, if you bought a gs3 here it's not LTE

PNG's That need to be located.

Dropdown Menu Press.png

I'm looking for the press.png found for the drop down menu. I've been told it's in drawable.xml under SystemUI.apk but I've modified it to no end with zero results. Please advise.

Raider found it with Gunthermic's help. Other treasures in that xml too.

SystemUI,->values->drawables.xml...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidGraphix:
Thanks buddy. Can you paste and bold the line of code I need to edit? I've honestly changed it at least three times with no luck. I was trying to redirect the xml to a png by inserting @drawable/status_bar_background but it didn't work. Any ideas?

Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonathanphx1:
That's what I did and it worked fine. Also got rid of the black status bar and am directing it to a png instead of a color code as you can see from the pic.

Sure here.... this is in the SystemUI->values->drawable.xml

<item type="drawable" name="notification_number_text_color">#ffffffff</item>

<item type="drawable" name="notification_item_background_color">#ff111111</item>

<drawable name="tw_notification_background_pressed">@drawable/status_bar_item_background_normal</drawable>]

I directed it to status_bar_item_background_normal ( a png I added) but you can direct it to what ever you want. Make sure you add the desired png into the xhdpi folder in the SystemUI and recompile.
