[Nexus 7 General] sstoveld:
was leaving for work this morning, didn't want to toss my tablet on the passenger seat to be careful (go figure), so i put it on the roof of my car while i was loading up my stuff for work.

i get in my car, back out of my driveway, and pull off. i live on a busy road, 5 lanes, 55mph speed limit. i start accelerating, going about 40-45 mph, and i head a loud clank from my car. i look in my rear-view mirror and see something black bounce and roll around on the road. then it hits me, i never took my tablet off my roof... there it was, sitting in the middle of the road.

i turn around, wait for some traffic to pass, and run out and grab it. luckily, it still works, seemingly perfect. at first look, i didn't see anything wrong with it, but i couldn't take a good look at it until i got to work.

when i got to work, i noticed the top right corner was scraped and scuffed pretty good, and the corner on my leather case was a bit torn up, but it seems to be just a bit of cosmetic damage. i'm just thankful it still works. this is my 2nd tablet after the 1st was returned for a raised screen and defective touchscreen.

pictures:

i'm gonna venture a guess and say my chances on getting a replacement are slim to none? lol

edit: sorry for the hugemongous pictures, resized them
[Nexus 7 General] mustbepbs:
The part that gets me is that you didn't want to put it in your car for safety, so you put it on the roof of your car haha. That's hilarious. But man that sucks. I can't imagine they're going to give you a replacement, no.
[Nexus 7 General] bushpilotwannabe:
Ouch! That sucks man, glad it still works though. I doubt you'll get a replacement, but if it were me, I'd get a different case to cover that up.
[Nexus 7 General] sstoveld:
yeah, go figure. i'm usually good with not doing that sorta stuff, but i didn't get much sleep last night, so i guess i just wasn't thinking
[Nexus 7 General] redmonke255:
You are extremely lucky.

Sent from my paranoid Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] dparrothead1:
Glad for you that it still works. And all these threads questioning the build quality of the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] MRsf27:
:highfive: thats for sure. I have a nexus S and I dropped mines pretty good the first few days I got it and all it got was small scratch on the top left corner and it works perfect still. I will always trust google products and their build quality. and plus, it's asus for **** sakes. my computer monitor is asus and so is my motherboard... Asus is one hell of a reliable company. they're not perfect, but they are reliable
[Nexus 7 General] mariojp:
Did you at least cry?
[Nexus 7 General] sstoveld:
Yeah I'll probably do that. Any suggestions for a case that covers the corners? A magnet case would be preferred but not required
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
There was a thread on here early on about someone who dropped their N7 and cracked the plastic bezel on one of the corners. They tried to fill in the missing piece with some silver colored resin. You may want to give that a shot.
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
A tpu case would cover the corners. Amazon has a few from different manufacturers. I just bought one from "exact". It has an "x" on the back, it's black but they also have clear, the back is textured, and best of all its $5.95 shipped. I-blason also makes a tpu as does kayscase. Look on Amazon for "Nexus 7 tpu".

Here is the link to the one I bought.

[Nexus 7 General] Richieboy67:
A friend did almost the same thing with an iPad but he was not even moving. It just slid off the roof. It is completely ruined. The glass is shattered and everything.

For an inexpensive device the Nexus 7 is durable.. love mine.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Yea I would second a TPU case to cover it up.

Also someone was piecing out his N7 for parts, perhaps you could buy the silver ring. It looks really bad in the pictures, but comparing to mine, it probably isn't even that big of a blemish.

They are pretty tough with those cases on. I'm using a Blurex case and I'm always tossing mine around now (in seats, the couch, desk, bed, etc). I'd be super glad it just works after that kind of spill. You can tell you were going pretty fast by the amount of chunk that is missing.
[Nexus 7 General] metalwraith:
I've done stuff like that before, usually with my coffee mug, put it on the roof while I'm putting stuff in my jeep... Next thing I know I see coffee running down the windshield... lol

Glad your tablet still works, I'd be freaking out if that happened.
[Nexus 7 General] djkinetic:
Ouch, good thing it still works and the glass isnt cracked, thank god I always have my tab in a bag of some sorts when I'm on the road.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
This is a good ad for the Roo case!
[Nexus 7 General] sstoveld:
the picture actually looks it make a lot worse than it really is. it's still very noticeable, but it's not a huge chunk or anything. just looks a bit ugly now :(

weird thing is, i never put anything on top of my car like that. i dunno why i thought it was a good idea. oh well, at least it still works

yeah when i first realized what had happened, my first thought was the glass would be shattered. that was pretty much the only thing i looked at when i first grabbed it
[Nexus 7 General] fatfingered:
Some Bondo and a little paint will get that buffed out like new. I'm surprised the glass didn't shatter.
[Nexus 7 General] silfa718:
my slid off my table and fell 4 feet and landed flat on the screen! Picked it up and turned it on the screen came on, went black, displayed the a nice two tone google search bar and came back on fine. It has been working fine since.
[Nexus 7 General] bubblesmoney:
well you dont lose anything by trying your luck with google.

a witty email to them saying the device is tough and you accidentally checked it out .... mention the rest of the story. they might be impressed enough to throw a new device your way! you dont lose anything by trying and they might like to know their device survived such a fall! Try your luck.
[Nexus 7 General] sstoveld:
good point, doesn't hurt to try, i'll put in a request when i get off work
[Nexus 7 General] :
That's one good case!

If you get a case that covers up that corner it will be good as new :)

Its really good to know how well built the nexus7 is.
[Nexus 7 General] sstoveld:
well, i put in a return request. doubt it will go through, and i was honest, so we'll see what happens. i'll post updates when i get them
[Nexus 7 General] V3RT3X:
This is both extremely lucky and awesome at the same time! :D
[Nexus 7 General] sstoveld:
well that was quick

Hi Steve,

Thank you for contacting Google Play Support!

Unfortunately, damage caused to the device via user error is not covered

by warranty. At this time, repairs for the Nexus 7 tablet are not offered.

If you have any other questions, please reply to this email.

Regards,

oh well, was worth a shot
[Nexus 7 General] stezo2k:
Wow that's amazing build quality
[Nexus 7 General] STVA:
I'm glad the damage wasn't worse.

As someone else said, you could definitely fix it with bondo and paint. You could probably even get by with a primer scratch repair stick for a car, then paint on top of it.
[Nexus 7 General] plambda:
pretty much this. Count your blessings.
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
If you decide to go with a tpu case this one is $4.95 shipped. I don't have this one, only the tpu that I gave you the link to earlier, so I can't comment on the quality. But it's the same manufacturer as the "x" tpu, and I love it. This one has a landscape stand attached.

Wow man. Your tab is lucky. Could have been ran over too !!

[Nexus 7 General] Jay Aristide:
Don't Hide It - PRIDE IT

Not only would I not try to return or repair it, I wouldn't try to cover it up, either. In the musicians world, this is adding personality and character to your instrument. I know a guy who dropped a six-thousand dollar bass, split the body in half lengthwise, duct-taped it back together, and still plays it out every chance he gets.

Lots of people have n7's, now, but YOU have an n7 with a story and battle-scar to match. Wear that **** with pride, yo, and tell the story smiling. You'll sell more n7s than Wall*Mart...
[Nexus 7 General] sstoveld:
Wow I love this ideology. You're right, my n7 is now an official badass, and its got the scars and story to prove it!
[Nexus 7 General] Pepmaster:
I'm not going to make this a long story but just wanted to point out that I actually lost my Xoom by leaving it on the top of a friends car. I just forgot it and my friend went home and...we just never found it. Cars are evil to tablets :(
[Nexus 7 General] apschwal:
I have the following case and I love it. Covers the corners, is protective, yet not bulky. Also has groves for portrait viewing and hand hold for more secure single handed viewing.

I'm still a n00b so can't post links, but throw this: /gp/product/B008FLYROG/ after amazon.com otherwise it's the Moko Slim-Fit Case Cover
[Nexus 7 General] Nippero:
Yea, the glass looks to be in good shape, lucky. Just take some sand paper to smooth out that corner, find some sort of filler, and apply some silver paint?

Or just search for a TPU case, those cover the whole silver border I'm pretty sure. Won't fit into your leather cases anymore though.

EDIT: whoops didnt notice thread was 4 pages long, not used to using this app yet haha.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ilyasayli:
hi, i'm new guy here hehe but i've used this phone since a year ago and having a everlasting problem i think :p

I often don't receive text from other phone, no matter how far they are, no matter where i am.. is this related to the ROM I used? or my main flexible which recently seems broken?

give me your help(s) please. thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hixvolnutt:
It could be your network provider, IMO. I often not receiving or delayed SMS receiving, and it is because of my network provider, the Custom ROMS are rarely the cause, unlocking bootloader maybe, if you unlock the BL and your phone is simlock, you will get no signal. My best suggestion is try full wipe, reinstall Custom ROM, or reflash Custom kernel if you have any. Or better yet, got to stock kernel and stock rom, if the problem doesnt persist, then it is most likely related to custom rom and kernel that you are using, do some test on your own my friend. ;)
[HTC One S] alver_root:
Hello everyone!

I have a problem with my One S's wi-fi - wi-fi scan utility doesn't show any availible networks, including the ones that were in range earlier. Adding a 100% availiable network manually doesn't help - it says "Not in range".

It was delivered with 1.53 firmware - everything was fine. Then it was updated by FOTA to 1.78, after that i started experiencing the trouble. Flashing the 2.21 firmware with the RUU changed the problem - wi-fi was stuck on "turning on" status forever. Then i unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev.com and installed CWM to flash custom ROMs. None of them helped solving the wifi issue.

The last thing was installing custom ROM based off 1.78 got wifi to "Not in range" status again.

Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coldheater:
Hey guys, and Thank you for help in advanced. I have Cyanogen Mod 10 and I am missing my bubble messaging and my weather widget. Is there a way that I can get my MMS back to stock and get my weather widget? Any suggestions or help? I searched and the few things that I found didnt work with CM10.

Thanks a bunch!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
They have a SGS3 launcher zip over in the Gnex forums. I think the widgets are an option on one of them. You could try to flash that. As far as mms, Im not sure if the Touchwiz one will work on AOSP with out the Touchwiz framework.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coldheater:
I got the weather widget, do u know how I can get the bubble messages that came with stock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shiftr182:
You might try pushing the stock messaging app to your system. If you have the weather widget and launcher installed, then you have the touchwiz framework, so it might work. I personally use inverted aosp mms.apk on my own touchwiz roms, I just theme the icon to look like touchwiz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SadieNibblesworth:
Hey!

I was wondering how to properly do this on a ROM such as Paranoid Android. The messaging application there from the GAPPS JB 07/26 package sucks. I have over five hundred contacts, and when I need to send a mass message out, I need to be able to type in a handle and select twenty or thirty people to send a message to at one time. The messaging application from the GAPPS JB package cannot do that.

For instance, let's say I have 100 people with the tag "OSU" in their names. If I type in "OSU" into the "To" field... all 100 of them will appear if I'm using the stock messaging application. From there, I can decide who to text and select their names.

The GAPPS JB messaging application cannot do this. It's weird. It's like the contacts list doesn't come up as it would on the stock messaging application.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dal320driver:
Hi all. I'm coming from a HTC Evo so some things on the touch are a little different to me. My question is this: I have noticed that some roms require a specific recovery be used. I am running AGAT recovery now but the rom I am wanting to install requires CWM. If I flash this rom and recovery, how do I get my AGAT backups if needed. Do I just reflash AGAT and use them? Like I said coming from an EVO, I only had one recovery (AMON) for all my needs. Switching back and forth between recoveries and how to do it is new to me.

Thanks,

LJ
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
CWM backups done in CWM or CWM based recovery should work in any CWM recovery of compatible version. TWRP, being a different case.

This phones recovery is packed in the kernel which you might have found out by now. You can flash kernels in recovery if they have a zip or you can use mobile odin (desktop odin as well) to flash tar's.

You can flash the kernel you used for the backup and then restore the backup if you want. If AGAT's recovery is CWM based (many are) you can flash most roms with it. Thats the entire point of it. But once you flash the rom you will have whatever kernel/recovery that rom has until you flash another one so it will change on you. If your going AOSP (cm9 etc) then stock cwm is of course recommended.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dal320driver:
Thanks for the info.

LJ
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yassirazi:
Recovery restore

How about if I backup using 4EXT and would like to restore using CWM ?? will it be still supported?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
There is not 4ext recovery for the epic touch. And no cwm wont restore backups from any other recovery except cwm or a cwm variant

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aandroidd:
Hey guys,(sry, if my english won't be the best, but i'm from german and need your help)

after reading a post to get dual-touch on my Xperia x8, I wanted to get it too. After doing the steps i had to do, the emulator didn't show me the right sentences at the end, but i've got dual-touch although it stood not there.

I was happy!

Then i wanted to play "Tank Recon 3D", but there was a problem.( Not only in this game. I tested some more games and there is the same problem, only in german "Achtung, die Kurve" works successfully)

In Tank Recon 3D I drived across the level with the left stick, which is used for moving. When i pressed at the fire-button, the smartphone noticed it and shot, but I didn't moved on. It was like i had took my finger from the move-button.

I hope you know what I mean, and can understand the English of a 14 year old German kid;)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzechPleez:
I notice something similar at times, though not always doing the same thing. Sometimes when I open a threaded SMS, or webpage, or app, or... anything that requires the display to reset the entire background, there is a quick flickering of color. For me, the flicker is purple-ish in color, not gray. But I think the effect is the same as what you described. It started after the latest firmware updates. We (Sprint) are checking into this and hopefully will issue a fix in a future firmware update. Stay tuned.
