I guess I was lucky. My replacement S2 is supposed to arrive tomorrow. But if they had stonewalled me like that I was prepared to send it to Samsung. Why not go wit that? Btw they also offered to allow me out of the contract early with an S3,but at $299...a little too much imo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wbcollins:
I warranty replaced mine because of a wonky power button, too. it is challenging to get back to stock without a power button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BWilkenson:
Yeah it wasn't easy at all! But I figured it out. Now they are sending me an s3!! After messing up my order and canceling without my notification
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hammer7t:
My power button stopped working and after finally getting back to stock with difficulty, I took it in to AT&T's Device Warranty Service Center (they have a few of those in most states) and they replaced it on the spot with a refurbished unit. This was yesterday so only time will tell if the refurbished one will hold up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
I've heard that the refurbs are sometimes more reliable than ones out of the box because they have replaced parts that they know people have had regular problems with (i.e. usb port, power button). I bought mine brand new last December with no problems, so I hope I didn't just jinx myself for saying that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fldude99:
So I received my refurb on Thursday, and I have to say I'm very pleased with ATT's warranty service. I would challenge anyone to tell the difference with this refurb and a brand new device. Been putting it through the pace and it's done great so far. Setting it up is a little bit of a hassle, but it makes you realize how many apps are on the phone that really never are used. Came with ICS as well and works fine. Having a fresh OS I'm sure helps in that regard. Count me as a happy camper.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] forzaazzurri:
I wonder how long until they are out of S2's and start offering a S3. No way would I take a Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fldude99:
Hmmm.. Interesting. I doubt they will be offering the S3 anytime soon. They did offer me an early upgrade to the S3 however for $299 and wave the remainder of the ETF

I've had my S3 for about 3 weeks now. A couple of days ago I stopped being able to do google talk video calls on the ATT network. It says I must be connected to wifi. Anybody else have this problem? It worked for 2 weeks then it stopped.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheChefSLC:
Video over gsm has been disabled on the device. If you are rooted, you can make a simple database edit to allow video over 3g. If you have already done the edit 2 weekes ago, its possible that there may have been an update and causing you to have to redo the change

So, no dice. I rooted and installed that app. When I run it, it asks for root, then kicks out the message: database error unable to access database is video chat enabled talk installed. I must be missing something.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andrew149:
Here, you go, i just did it and it works perfect!

1. Download SQLight editor from the market

2. If you don't have a good file manager also get Root Explorer from the market.

3. After both are installed - use Root Explorer to browse to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db and click on it

4. Now click on "main"

5. Scroll down to gtalk_vc_wifi_only - highlight and hold

6. Press "Edit Record" and change the "value" to false instead of true
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natetrim:
Sweet, thanks! Changed it false, rebooted, and I'm good to go. Thank you!

Question... when u say Google talk video chat.... u mean Google+ hangouts? If not.. how do u use this Google talk video chat??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] natetrim:
I open Google Talk and click the camera icon next to a contacts name.

I don't really use hangouts.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] paleman27:
I did the procedure. Now I'm not getting the error when I select the Gtalk Enabler, then I reboot, go to talk, press video chat icon with whomever I want to video chat, it starts ringing a couple (2) of times (before I used to get the wi fi message), then it cuts out and it displays on the recepients box the following message: "Sorry! The video chat with Anglo (that's me) failed because of a problem with our servers at 11:15 AM. Please wait a bit and try again."

However, if I use Vtok this error doesn't happen.

Any help will help appreciated.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] woody1:
I'm having the same problem. I made the database fix, which now lets me attempt a video call without getting the wi-fi only message. But when the other side tries to answer the call, I get disconnected and they get an error saying that GTalk servers have an error.

Has anybody else gotten video chat to work on the SG3? If so, what other step do I need to take? And I don't really want to load another app to do what this one is supposed to do.

That sounds like a different problem. Mine shows the video camera icon on wifi and also on 3g, but it will only connect when I'm on wifi.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gregt0410:

My Google Talk video was working then I tried it today and go the WiFi message again. I went into the db using ashell and the gtalk_vc_wifi_only is no longer there. I have been searching but can't seem to find it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cjkpkg:
Just did this on my SGSIII and worked perfectly...Thanks!

The Gtalk Enabler worked while I was on CM10 but the bluetooth worked horribly so I went back to the stock JB rooted. I tested after I made the change and will uninstall the enabler now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] woody1:
I looked at this database, and I don't see "gtalk_vc_wifi_only" in that database. If the key is not there, do I need to add it?

Ok, you're right. I downloaded the db to my PC, edited it and loaded it back onto the phone. Problem is that Gtalk video calls still don't work on my AT&T S3 even after the db change. Are other AT&T S3 users getting this to work?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncvikingx97:
I just got a another new nexus , but it has the screen ripple. Should I exchange it, or try to fix it. It might be because I tried to fix the screen lift, and i loosened some screws. What should I do? What do you think you would do
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Remove the screws and add some washers. The screws are too long and causing pressure.

There is a thread about using plastic from medicine pill packaging which is what I used. The backplate pulls the screen down and the innards out. I used 3 little washers total. The screws need to be snug or the back will push then screws and make other problems.

Then flash a safe ics custom rom and use triangle away app to clear the flash counter

Again flash a stock gingerbread rom

Now your Note is with no flash count

Take it to SSC and your motherboard will be replaced so that U will be back with the lost 3gb

Post-Launch Nabi 2 Tablet FAQs

Q: Where is Google Play? How do I install it?

A. Google's Support Site: The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Google Play is an application that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install the Google Play Store app on their devices.

If you don’t have the Google Play Store app, and your device is not listed here, that means your device is not supported for use with Google Play at this time.

There is currently no Google Play Store apk that can be sideloaded successfully onto the nabi 2 Tablet without experiencing Forced Closure when used. Fan-a-Tech Eric is working hard on a solution that will allow users to do this. When available it will be posted here on the blog.
[General Questions and Answers] VitaZora:

[General Questions and Answers] dvandam:
I have an iPad 3 and my daughter likes playing with that. Of course, I'm hesitant to let her really get into it considering A: It's $500, B: It's MY tablet, meaning I have my own apps and stuff that I don't want her messing with, and C: Because she just LOVES touching that home key, it's hard to keep her in 1 app.

Still, the tablet does look intriguing. I think that tablet computers can be good learning tools. Hell my old kindergarten has a whole slew of iPads that they let the students use, although they have more plastic surrounding them than Joan Rivers' face so that they don't break when dropped or beaten up. And quite frankly, given how begrudgingly I picked up the iPad, the last thing I need is to bring yet ANOTHER one of them in the house. 2 iPads are enough (my wife has my old 2 and I have the new generation model.) I like to think we balance it out with 2 Samsung Android phones.
[General Questions and Answers] acidonyx:
I actually just put two of these on layaway at Walmart this Saturday. One for my 8yo stepson who's been hounding me for a tablet for about a month, and the other for my 2yo. My little guy steals my Nexus 7 all the time to play Sonic CD and even posts pictures of himself on my google+ account. You'd be amazed at how fast a child can pick up the UI on an android device, it's so intuitive. I think any child lucky enough to have parents willing to blow $200 on a "toy" for a preschooler will have a field day with the Nabi. Now I'm just hoping that we have the play store fully functional before Christmas. I've purchased almost every high end game from gta3 thru horn, and was and am planning on linking my google acct, and installing them onto the boys tablets after they open them. I really wish I could get my hands on one now so I could pull a log-cat and see what's going on when you try to install an app.
[General Questions and Answers] aloxotls:
You can install an app just fine, but from what I have been reading the problem is the play store and google services framework do not have root access. You can only install them on the data partition and not the system partition. We need to be able to root the Nabi to be able to get the Play Store to work. I am assuming no parent is willing to accidentally brick their child's tablet trying to do this. Does anyone even know what drivers we would use for ADB?
[General Questions and Answers] Dropline:
Been awhile since I messed with mine(Well hers), but I think the drivers I installed for rooting my Nexus7 also saw the Nabi2 as an ADB device. Also had a few ideas but my 2-1/2 year old would FREAK if I bricked her Nabi2. I still have a Nabi1(Already rooted) being I got the VIP Gold and was sent an email that I can keep my Nabi1 even with them sending me the Nabi2, too bad Nabi1 is not closer and I would have something to "TEST" with.
[General Questions and Answers] aloxotls:
So I found a driver that I could use to for ADB and I used the universal root from Bin4ry but it was a no go. Has anyone else tried anything different to try to root their Nabi 2? Would be nice to know what has not worked so far.

Something a little off subject does anyone know how to change the default keyboard. Going in and out of Daddy mode switches the keyboard back to the Android keyboard after switching it to Swiftkey.

The Nabi 2 apparently has root abilities. Thus it can have a custom recover installed and Gapps can be flashed. Here is the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1905674

Sorry in advance if someone already shared this method.

Edit*

I heard you were having trouble with Titanium backup. This is because you most likely did not root your device. Follow the steps in my link and everything should work.
[General Questions and Answers] ALD3:
I'm guessing that you didn't run superuser or supersu right after you rooted and device booted backup. You must run superuser and update su file to complete the root process. If you didn't get an answer yet, just run root process again and then superuser after bootup. You should be good.

Also, I think you can boot it into safe mode by shutting it completely of by holding the power button for like 10 seconds then boot it by holding down the Vol - button and the power button until the Nabi logo appears, then release only the power button, keep holding the Vol- button until it boots the the lock screen with "Safe mode" in the bottom left corner.

I followed your steps and had no luck. I followed the steps listed below:

The only legitimate way to flash the boot image manually is:

1. Start the phone in bootloader

2. Connect the USB cable and select FASTBOOT on the phone (changes to FASTBOOT USB)

3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where you installed ADB and downloaded the boot.img.

4. Open a command prompt in Windows (Start > Run > CMD) and type the command:

Code:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

If that doesn't work, either you have a problem with ADB/fasboot or it's the wrong boot.img.

the window said <waiting for device> and nothing happened...any ideas?
