[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mike02z:
I just wanted to follow up on this. I did receive a new unopened Galaxy Tab 2 via UPS on Monday 8/27. The outer box was destroyed and the inner box was damaged but the device was perfect. I have been using it heavily all week and it has been performing well. While not the best service experience, at least Samsung made it right with a single email to the right place.

My advice to anyone experiencing poor customer service, with any large purchase, is to do a little searching and find the corporate directory and with any luck you can find the CEO/President's email address. These addresses are typically monitored by high level CSR's that can do things other CSR's cannot do. I have used this trick multiple times with multiple vendors and it has always gotten me great service. A well written email can do wonders. Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Sean_Seany:
Glad it worked out well in the end Mike and thanks for the "tips" hopefully i will never need to use them.

:good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] silentvisitor:
Kudos to you Mike ! If we all do like you did standard of Customer Care will get raised to great heights.

Would you like to share your email so it might serve as a template/sample for others ?

Thanks !
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] silentvisitor:
You have set a good example.

May be you could also guide us on how to find these "Premier" e-mail ids as i was once trying to reach Head of LG but could not find any Contact info :(

Thanks again :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mike02z:
Bon-Joon Koo is the CEO of LG. From what I can tell, the email address format lg uses is last name first initial at lge.com so I'd try koobj@lge.com. I found this by searching for less than 5 minutes. More diligent searching may find the exact email address. If you get a rejection keep trying different combinations.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] mrbkkt1:
LG was good regarding my 6 year old tv.

Basically, the power board went out, and I was unable to purchase the repair parts.

They gave me a prorated refund of 300 bucks ( would have been more I'd I had receipt) almost enough to buy a new tv.

I noticed white a few nice roms like blackstar/siya, omega custom or the i9300 but I didn't see too many that were for the 747 (and from what I learned -you can brick your phone with the wrong version)...so what are the top roms for the i747 and will the above two roms be available for the 747 anytime soon?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Hopoholic:

Hello

Can anyone point me to a guide or summary of alternative kernels please?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meteorrock:
You can check our work on the nook color linux kernels in this thread here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1370873&page=285

I also have a guide on using the Git and the Gerrit code review down in cyanogenMod central for the nook color linux tree at this thread link here. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/50994-follow-along-with-me-trying-to-learn-how-to-code/

If you want to help and have experience on building linux kernels feel free to post a follow up in the first link I have posted. We are using the git and the github to commit code for our linux kernel tree. If you need help on getting up and going on using git, look through the second link I gave, I have all of the links on the github for our project and other helpful tips for you to get started. Right now the top developers are committing code to the jellybean branches. <fat tire> is our top developer and github maintainer for the nook color linux kernel tree, you can find him in the first link I provided and can help you also.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
Thanks. I'm able to put a kernel together, but i haven't much experience in original development. I'll keep an eye on that thread though!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meteorrock:
Right now we are looking for a few debuggers for the Jelly Bean Kernels. You know how to use debuggers? We need to check for kernel opps that are not being caught by the machines. Last year here there was a developer that rooted 2 kernel opps out and submitted them to Gerrit as a patch. Henk Poley , the developer for the Git extentions used his app and rooted out a few kernel opps on the cyanogenMod stable 7.1 at the time. Check out the my link on debuggers if you are not sure how. Not glamous work but it needs done, and I am getting up and ready to go back to school. Might do that if you want to help.

<Eyeballer> here is looking for someone to strip out all the unnecessary phone .apks for the nook color cyanogenMod builds, like the phone.apk and the telephony.apk along with the voicedialer.apk. I was going to get started on doing that but got sidetracked on getting a proper workflow going on the github. That second thread has links on how to submit work and patches down at cyanogenMod.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are up to a more difficult challenge the wi-fi module needs more work on the Jelly bean builds, they are still getting wake lock problems with it. A few months ago the developers disassembled and reassembled the wi fi module and could not find any code conflicts within the driver or the module. They can fill you in on that up in IRC at #nook color if you want to follow up on that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
Wow. Uh, I don't actually use a debugger, I'm pretty new to building kernels. I used to program C++ in Visual Studio, but so far haven't investigated the debugging process. In my own kernels I use printk, and that's about as sophisticated as it gets.

I wish I could help, but I need the device to available at the moment for my young daughter. Good luck with JB. I'll consider helping if my situation changes.

Well i want to buy this mobile but i have a problem, i want to buy it in play store because it is the cheaper site where i can found it but a have a credit card from mexico but i have an adress in California where i can pick up, but it doesnt let me pay with that card, is there another alternatives?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Landara:
Get a credit or debit card in the U.S.? Any card, any bank you want. Hell go buy a pre-pay card off the rack at CVS and buy it with that. They will sell them to anyone unless of course you have no legal US or State Government Identification, in which case YOU TOOK OUR JAAAAWBS!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braaank:
The bad thing is that i dont have money right now, but i have a debit card. And i dont have time because i live in spain only im here for vacations, so i cant request a credit card will take a lot of time.

Another alternative where i can buy it with a mexican credit card?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Landara:
Can you not use Mexican Credit cards locally? It is cheaper to buy them here in the stores than from the play site. You just have to get the 16gb. Can you get a 16gb at a regular store? It's going to be 250+ tax but you will save no paying shipping. I assume Best Buy takes any CC from any country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braaank:
Well in other stores i can buy with this card, i bought online with this card at macys and other online store and i just pick up in my adress in USA. I look into other websites and bestbuy doesnt have this phone (unlocked), walmart does but it is 460 dlls and in the playstore only 350.. im looking for 350 $ or less..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Landara:
Sorry I sometimes forget which nexus forum I am on, thought I was on the Nexus 7 Forum still ROFL. Yeah you might be a little screwed, if you can't just get someone you know locally to do it for you. You'd have to use an ATM to pay them I'd guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
Many grocery stores in the US sell prepaid MasterCard/Visa debit cards that you can load with any amount of money, up to $1000. Maybe you could buy one of those, load it up with however much the GN will cost, and buy it using the prepaid card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braaank:
Yes but like i said i dont have money right now and i want to use my credit card for pay it later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Landara:
Also, you can't use any Credit Card to fund a prepay card, even a debit card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
Well then your only choice might be amazon. They have used GNex's in the $350 range, and new ones in the $400 range if you are willing to shell out a little extra. I purchased mine from Amazon because factoring in shipping, it would have been cheaper for me than buying through Play Store.

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

I've used a debit card to fill up a prepaid card before. It might vary from country to country? I did it just yesterday in fact, filled up a Visa prepaid debit card with $100 using my bank-issued debit card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braaank:
Can you answer these few questions about amazon?, it looks interesting but in amazon i have to pay tax? How many days can i have it? How much it cost in playstore? ( adding tax and shipping)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
Tax depends on where you live. Shipping to the US usually takes about 3-5 days, international may take more, I don't really know for certain. You can find out how much it will cost in the play store by adding it to your cart and checking out. If will display the full price before you enter your payment info, so you can just close the website and the transaction will not go through.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gkastrinos:
Not sure if this helps you, but Best Buy has the Galaxy Nexus for free right now, with the signing of a Verizon contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
OP lives in Spain, so no Verizon network.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac3theone:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldmantx:
Who is selling it new for $298?? I see new for $397.51 as the cheapest....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braaank:
yeah i saw that, my adress is in California, so more less how much will it cost to me? I know adding to the cart and checking out but im in mexico right now and i dont have access to the US playstore, thats why im asking for the final price adding tax and shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Landara:
Well I tried once here in the states and was told it was illegal. Maybe the clerk was just retarded.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
Using the address of the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA, the total came out to $390.04. You may want to add $400 just in case it costs a little more to ship to wherever you are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongzhou94:
Haha, maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac3theone:
Doubt it'll still be that cheap on Amazon now ,I got lucky
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightvving:
So I'm gonna get a SGS3 soon, upgrade came around and it's time to replace my Inspire 4G.

I'm completely set on getting an SGS3, after hours on hours of research in the great HOX vs. SGS3 debate I finally decided on the SGS3. The only problem now is what color to get.

I've seen the blue and white ones in store, but not the red one yet, simply because when I looked around the red version was not yet released. Blue looks surprisingly good, better than I thought it would from online pics. White? Well, I'm not really a fan of glossy white, especially since that's sort of... Apple's thing (and lets be honest, the iPhone 4(S) in white looks much better than the SGS3 in white).

However, I figure at the same time I'm going to put it in a case, and it's likely not going to be a clear (TPU) case either, so realistically only the bezel will be showing. So at the end of the day, I want to be picking the color that matches best with possible cases (I'm thinking, Speck Candy Shell, Insipio Silicrylic, or Otterbox Commuter), which makes white a more attractive option, as white goes well with many colors, while blue or red may not.

So, really I have two questions:

What do you think of the Garnet Red color? Preferably if you've seen it in person.

and

Which color would match best with cases?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adamt19:
Haven't seen it in person, but I think the red is pretty ugly, even in promotion..

I bought the blue and regret it. Wish I bought the white.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] defnow:
All 3 area amazing. I have the white one but wouldn't mind having all three colors. There is no "this color is better"...who cares. Buy one and enjoy it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Death&co:
Just my 2 cents..

I've seen the red in person and it's quite nice. It's more of a deep wine color if you aren't in direct light which gives it a bit more sophisticated look to it than a typical fire engine red color. Get the red if you like the appeal of more of a "rare" color phone as obviously not as many people will have it compared to the blue or white models.

I personally have the blue and have no regrets with it. When in low lighting or dark atmosphere, it's hard to tell that the phone is even blue and looks more towards the black spectrum. I also think it has a more professional look than the white model does. I don't mind taking my phone out in front of clients or my bosses at work etc.

The white model is the most feminine of them all to me personally. I also hate white borders for any of my gadgets. It makes the screen look more like it's inside of a picture frame if that makes sense. With dark or black borders, the screen blends in way better and much more pleasurable to view when watching videos.

Now with that all being said, regardless of how they look, I highly suggest investing in a case for the phone. This will obviously limit the amount of case is exposed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hapticxchaos:
I exchanged my blue one for a red one and never looked back. Its amazing :) I even have a red webbed technocell case to with it...and the red capbuttons look grrrrreat!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rickwood:
I wanted black, but at the time only had choices of white or blue. Blue looked purple to me, so I chose white. I have a black thin case on it, and surprisingly like the way it looks.

My son bought the red one last week. I can't say that I really care for it in red, but he loves it. So I guess it really comes down to personal preference. The red is actually a nice deep shade, but I'm still not a fan of having a red phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] monsterofmen:
The capacitive button are red on the red phone. Looks great :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheScaryOne:
The red is fantastic. It sealed the deal with ATT.

The pictures online suck, and a camera can't really catch it. It's a polished red plastic with powder flake and the color is a nice deep cherry red. Similar would be a 50th Anniversary Corvette Velocity Red, but the phone is a little brighter in direct light. It actually matches my car really well, and it's 1987 GM Dark Red Metallic.

When I hit my ten posts I'll come back here with some pictures.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nate5683:
I love my red s3...definitely the best color imho
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheScaryOne:
As promised.

These first two show the difference between average light (no flash) and bright light.

Here is another shot showing how bright light really makes the phone a nice red color, and shows off my laptop's pattern well too.

This is GoLauncher with the BloodRed theme available on the market. Homescreen widget is Fancy Widgets.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Earthdog:
Colors

So here you go I am the color whore and I have had every color and passed the ones I didn't like to my employee's.

White - I like but it made me think iPhone but very nice

Blue - I just don't like the confusing color between gun metal and burple

Red - well thats what I am carrying at the moment. Hmm... well as the pictures shot in the above post in bright light its awesome and thats the color I wanted. What I have most of the the time is closer to burgundy. So overall I just don't like it.

Conclusion - I am thinking hard about returning the Red for White. I wish it were a brighter red. I purchase a Seidio Case and their Garnet was the color I wanted for the SG3. So as a result the colors clash.... Clearly its personel preference but look it over in the bright light and in the normal light and determine where you spend most of your time. THe difference in color is pretty dramatic.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Michael270:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wirelessgirl:
It's personal preference. It's an S3, you can't go wrong with any color. :) I have the pebble blue and I love it. The most popular color of choice up here is white. We don't have the red one. I would've loved a black one. I doubt we will get it. I know every phone is black but it matches my wardrobe and purses. ;)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Kapn.K:
Blue as well, here and I was so close to getting the white. Now I wish I had bought the white. I thought about waiting for the red but now I think it's a little too bold.

I have the white and really like the way it looks in person. It is super sleek and just has a really nice look. If I could have a different color I would like the new black one that is coming out.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karl_eller:
Is there any way to force the stock Android keyboard to use the phone layout (like the Galaxy Nexus's keyboard layout) instead of the tablet keyboard that it uses by default? The different location of a lot of buttons really throws me off when trying to type quickly, and I dislike how a lot of after market keyboards handle auto corrections compared to the stock keyboard. In the keyboard languages, there is only the option for a full PC layout (which is too cramped in portrait).

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
1- Many apps do not work except in a rooted device as titanium backup, sd maid,app quarantine,nandroid browser, root browser,adaway,adfree and lots more even some launchers as apex and nova do not show full power except in a rooted device if you do not need this apps so do not root

2- Also if you need a custom roms with a smoother experience and added functions without samsung factory installed bloatware that consume more battery and processor resources and make the device sluggish so you should consider root if you do not want custom roms and convinced with stock experience so do not root

3- The rooting process somewhat esp for noobs is considered risky if you did not follow instructions carefully a very small risk but found especially for careless and those who do not read full posts carefully or follow wrong threads as threads for variants or other devices also some fear about warranty but this is solved now with triangle away app so if you fear anything do not root

to sum minor risks and benefits for those who need the extra stuff as custom roms and apps that need root to work

That decision is yours if you see benefits deserve to take the plunge and root !!!

Hi everybody, this issue may sound repeated, but I hope i can find a solution.

I flashed my SGS2 w/odin from JB came to flash ICS official

the flashing process was completed and started in the bootanimation, but my mistake was when removing the battery very quickly before I could start all the phone when I reboot in the download mode and flash the root and try turn on, oh my surprise.

The phone didn't turn on, it's not charging and the download or recovery doesnt work.

the jig does not work

but I sent the phone to a technician to see if I can revive by JTAG.

Now my questions:

What are the chances I have to get my phone?

Do you knkow of a store where i can buy sells PCBA for i9100?

Why was I so stupid in taking out the battery so quickly?

If technician you send your phone to JTAG very much good he fixes it super good. JTAG salvage can very good strong brick even worry no need don't to!
