Any imei issues when u flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] milan03:
Yup my IMEI is messed up, but that's easily fixable and it doesn't affect your service by any means. Qualcomm S4 + Project Butter = pretty insane performance and battery life.

I hear cm10 is still too buggy idk I'm stock rom but rooted and unlocked. I came from a jb gnex device. And I love this way moreeee.
[HTC EVO 3D] spliff721:
im used to flashing ROMs on my galaxy SII. so my girl wanted me to upgrade her EVO to android 4.0. i forgot that i needed to use adb and fastboot to install ROMs on her device. I booted into TWRP via the power menu and proceeded to flash a ROM. i am now stuck in a bootloop. i can get into the bootloader menu, but nothing i do seems to fix the problem. ive been searching for a while and found some info im still reading about on how to get S-off and whatnot. anyone got any advice for me?
[HTC EVO 3D] dessolator666:
since you were able to get into TWRP, Imma assume that you went to HTCDev,

since you can get to the bootloader, i assume you can also set it to fastboot?

my suggestion would be to downgrade your h-boot (procedures are different for GSM and CDMA if I'm not mistaken) and get S-off, as some roms can have problems with higher hboot versions regardless of S-off.

From there you have pretty much free reign to do whatever you like to the phone.

My guess would be that since the phone is not S-off it's not playing nice with the ROM/Kernel you installed.

[HTC EVO 3D] spliff721:
Got it sorted. From fastboot I was able to relock the bootloader with advt. Then run the latest RUU and go back to stock. Now to unlock the bootloader again.

Question, if I downgrade the hboot and get s-off, can I just flash from recovery instead of booting recovery through fastboot and adb then flashing?
[HTC EVO 3D] dessolator666:
yep, when you downgrade hboot and get S-off, you can flash all manner of roms and kernels without hooking the phone up to a pc at all
[Nexus 7 General] Fishwithadeagle:
I had the common problem with the screen lifting on the left side of the device. When I called the playstore, I received a tablet in three days. When I first opened it, there were finger prints on the screen. When I looked at the tablet, I noticed that there wadas a separation between the back panel and the unit. When I ran my finger across the side, it was raised. So when I opened the tablet up (I knew how to do this because I had two previous nexus tablets with the screen lifting issue that I was not able to fix) I noticed that the foil had fingerprints all over it and it was crumpled. All e rest of the foil underneath the device was misaligned. I have now determined that this is actually a refurbished tablet that had a pretty bad repair job on it.

I fix tablet and iPads and computers and what not and I would never send out a product like that and I do this under the table. Is my anger justified because I was told that they would send me a NEW tablet (physically). I think they are also tricking people into thinking that they were getting the same tablet as everyone else because of the way that they make you order the new tablet from the playstore. I also say that an error on their part does not constitute a compromise on my part. I paid for a new tablet and expect to receive a new tablet. I understand that they have to make a profit. E defects come from Asus so it is Asus responsibility. Since it costs the roughly 181 dollars to make the tablet, couldn't the sell the refurbished ones for 200 (16gb) and break even (after shippings costs.)

What is your opinion?
[Nexus 7 General] Fishwithadeagle:
Should i get a replacement.

Also, should I call Google and request a NEW tablet as a replacement seeing that I have wasted nearly two months trying to get a good tablet, and now I have a damaged refurbished tablet. Also the people who fixed the tablet do not know how to open it because they applied all the pressure I one spot instead of around the edge.

I am also very concerned about how my batteries wear which is why I don't like refurbished tablets because I don't know how other people treated the battery of this tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] dilldoe:
all the tablets have fingerprints on the cooper foil. it's not refurbished it's just poor QC.

my preorder had fingerprints on the foil, retaped box, and the plastic covering the tablet was crumbled.

my replacement also had fingerprints and retaped box
[Nexus 7 General] Mungulz:
It's li-ion ... heat and charge cycles only wear it out.

I agree with you though, refurbished tablet is not ok.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
I actually think getting a refurb that had passed strict inspection would be preferable to rolling the dice on a new unit.

However, whether your unit was repaired or not is unclear. ASUS standards are so low that they're also shipping out new tablets in that condition.

I found this video on youtube a while ago. He seems to have unboxed a brand new one with the same issues you're noticing.

[YOUTUBE]QGgbolg3ToA[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 7 General] Fishwithadeagle:
It still irritates me that the back cover is bent out of position in one spot where they opened it up. Would you request a new placement?
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
The only thing that matters is whether it bothers you.

We haven't seen the bend, but even if we were all gathered around your tablet and unanimously agreed that the flaw is conspicuous enough to be annoying, or that it's nothing to be concerned about, our opinion shouldn't affect your level of satisfaction.

If it's minor enough for you to be of two minds about it, I would suggest using the tablet for a while. See if it actually bugs you.

If your screen is completely flush and there are no other problems, I personally wouldn't RMA unless it's more serious than you make it sound.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
If they sent a refurb as a replacement for a new unit within the 15-day return period, then that would be a problem for me. Particularly if the replacement has "New" in the product description, which mine all did. I'm not sure they could get away with this even if they have it buried in the RMA email that a refurb might be provided--I think it's reasonable to presume that a replacement provided during the standard return period will be new.

If they sent a refurb as a standard warranty replacement after the 15 day return period, then that's common practice and nothing wrong with it.
[Nexus 7 General] ThePerson98:
I don't get the problem refurbed tablets. You sent them a used tablet with problems, they sent you a used tablet without problems.

With the fingerprints on the foil, that stuff is sensitive like no other to fingerprints. Probably QC just urping up and accidentally touching it.
[Nexus 7 General] Fishwithadeagle:
I was wondering if a bend and break in the foil would cause issues against guarding against electromagnetic interference. Also is it against the warranty to open the unit because I want to know if I can use the foil as evidence that this is a refurbished tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] b4silver:
I hope Google never chooses Asus again. Heck I'd even go for Samsung.
[Nexus 7 General] Jay Aristide:
I would return the unit for a refund, citing the replacement had a bent cover and was wholly unacceptable, then take the money to Wal*Mart and buy a brand-new one.
[Nexus 7 General] badasscat:
You paid for a new unit when you bought it and you got one. You sent them a *used* unit for replacement and you got one back.

Honestly, use your head. You should get a working/undamaged unit but you should not expect to get a new one back unless you sent a new one in (new meaning untouched/unused). Most companies send refurbs out as warranty (ie used) replacements.
[Nexus 7 General] kwarner666:
Then it would look like a 7" ipad.:cyclops:
[Nexus 7 General] uberNoobZA:
If you do contact google and ask for a replacement, don't tell them you opened it up or they will say you voided your warranty. You should only request a replacement based on defects visible on the outside of the tablet.

I think that both google and Asus are to blame. I think that google wanted to get a tablet to market in too short a timeframe, forcing Asus to cut corners. The nexus 7 is quite likely actually using the design of an as yet unreleased Asus 7 inch tablet that Asus quickly redesigned to fit google's specifications. Doing this without completely redesigning the entire chassis and also make it as cheap as possible resulted in these issues.
[Nexus 7 General] Fishwithadeagle:
I don't understand this. I bought a "new" tablet that was damaged on account of their poor QC. So I immediately sent it back for another tablet to replace the "new" tablet that I had just received. I then got a used tablet back in exchange. I would have gotten a new tablet if the product was undamaged in the first place. I paid for a new tablet so I expect the replacement to be a new tablet since they were the ones who damaged the original item
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
This is pretty crazy, C8 I just took back, same thing as that guy, left hand screen lift, and missing screws underneath right out of the box. Asus QC is pretty darn pathetic in my honest opinion I really want to like this tablet I just want one without issues.
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
I was fine with a refurb when my Kobo-1's screen got messed up after 11 months (1 Year warranty). But when my new Kobo Touch was defective after three weeks, they sent me a NEW one.

In my opinion that is completely reasonable.

But in this case, I'd be pissed. Since you effectively paid full price for a refurbished tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] rocchioo:
No, he paid for a new (non-defective) tablet. That is not what he received.
[Nexus 7 General] noobletsausecakebbq:
A thousand jackasses are sending out their tablets because of 1mm screen lift or 1 dead pixel. What is Google to do with all the "defective" tablets? What goes around comes around. You think you will keep sending out tablets for Bs reasons and they just make you a new one and throw out the old one? Right...and now you come here and complain because your spoiled ass didn't get a new tablet.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

[Nexus 7 General] atticusmas:
Odd. I had fingerprints on mine too and screen lift. Didn't take it apart tho .
[Nexus 7 General] Fishwithadeagle:
Just saying that Google is a large company and it seems like their power would be able to control Asus QC. Also, there was no need to rush the tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] zikronix:
I got mine this weekend from gamestop (16GB w/ C80 SN) I do see what some people are considering "screen lift" but more of what I actually do see is this not being a 100% to the micron laser cut and engineered tablet. Its a 200.00 tablet its not an ipad, its not a transformer prime, its not a galaxy 10.1. It is the leap pad of tablets.

I took mine apart, did it have fingerprints in the inside? Yep. Was it missing two screws? Yep. Was this on purpose or by design? I dont know.

Do I think asus needs to step up their quality control, maybe. It probably wasnt even designed by them or built by them its was probably sourced out to one of asus's many partners. Asus knows how to make high quality items.

Am I gonna send it back. Nope it appears to be working fine, I found two screws on an old laptop cdrom that I put in the missing spots and snapped it back together. Done
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
Don't you have anything better to do than come on xda and read about people's "complaints"?
[Nexus 7 General] thebomber:
I got mine of amazon for 320 dollars and had my fingers crossed as it was being shipped to me to egypt , checked everything it was perfect just noticed a very minor screen life less than a millimeter, placed a tpu case and don't even care actually I'm glad with the tablet and I have 1 year warranty and the screen lift issue is easy so I don't mind popping it up and tighten the screws. Last time I paid 200 dollar for a tablet was the touchpad and it was boring like hell and crappy build. I love my nexus, Asus QC may be like **** but def they are pushing better tabs now with the c80 now being in most stores.

It all depends on your usage. You might wanna try a new battery.

The classic answer is: Does your baseband and RIL match? If not, radio will drain your battery in no time!

[LG Optimus 2x] davibs:
Yes, i have Ril 0502/0530 ( SU660)

[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
Bb ril combo does. Not affect battery in that case. If all gb rims have this issue problem must be located in one of your apps or bad battery life.

Yes sounds like apps on the other hand you could try to flash bb 218 and switch to

and just install your essential apps.

For me this helped a lot. Phone is now usable again for 1 day with average usage.
[LG Optimus 2x] DrummerMuppet:
If you take a look to the screen captures, it seems your device is awake pretty much all the time. So, either you have keep using it the entire time or there's an app (or many) keeping your device from sleeping.

The app Better Battery Stats can help you find out what is draining your battery, give it a try.
[LG Optimus 2x] davibs:
I've whatsapped all the time..!
[LG Optimus 2x] mike the mighty viking:
As you can see, we are many wise men on these pages:laugh:

The reason I say bb and RIL maybe is what is in play, is the fact, that your radio bar is on during the entire offloading process.

If your radio cannot connect to wifi or teleprovider it will run around searching, burning off your battery.

Does your phone say SU 660 on the small label under the battery? If not, you do need to flash another bb and RIL, start with the one matching your favorite rom. Install with only the necessary apps and see how things goes.

I run XXMrHydes RC2-16 with 0725bb and the NOVA 3.0.36 Kernel rebuild2. RIL is 0725(V10d, Europe). I have used AnTuTu CPU master to increase minimum clock speed marginally to 300 Mhz and i have no FC or bsod as of 3 weeks now.

I run LG UI 3.0 and I use CoPilot navigation, surf maybe 30 minutes and check my mail constantly. My youngest plays a lot of games on it when we drive and I have almost 25 - 30% left, when I connect to charger at midnight.

Hope you get your handset to work properly.

best regards

Mike
[LG Optimus 2x] tonyp:
You should. That's a quite old BB and lots of people had problems with it.

If you want to stay with a SU660 one use the newest (0420).

If not then you could try 725 with the v10d RIL - that's the one most people are using.

To save battery you could consider to switch to 2G only instead of using UMTS/3G, as the latter does need a lot more battery.

Maybe even your signal strength gets better as it's a little low on your screenshots.
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
Cyanogenmod rom + screen awake all time = this battery drain is normal.

Flash a stock rom (like v20s based one, battery life is good), the v20s baseband that is perfect for our country, and if you like WhatsApping , do it forcing 2g network
[LG Optimus 2x] coolacrille:
You can't call that normal even with 3G on. I use CM7 and never saw anything that bad. And yes, I do use phone a lot.

[HTC Sensation] 2minuutes:
After installing CMX on my phone, the whole phone got weird. The phone froze after using it for a while. I managed to restore a CWM backup from the ViperS ROM, but I've messed that backup up with some AOSP .apk files that don't belong in there, so I flashed the ViperS ROM at the top of that backup to replace the wrong .apks and flashed it without wiping anything. After that, my phone started to do random reboots, and then, it got stuck at the HTC screen. If I pulled the battery out, it booted again, but It always reboots and gets stuck at the HTC screen again. I restored the CWM backup again without installing the ROM just to see if something went wrong during the installation, but it happens there too. Then I tried to install just the ROM, but the same happens there too. Then, I decided to format the System, Cache and Data partition and flash the ViperS ROM once again and then restoring the data from the CWM backup. That worked for about one hour, but it still reboots and gets stuck at the HTC screen. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Just thought I'd share if anyone else was wondering. I'm traveling and decided to get a second phone for texts when I head back to the States. Unfortunately, I already purchased a micro Sim card and related talk/text/internet plan for my main phone. I read about problems with adapters, so tried the "positioning" method. I just use the tape to make sure it doesn't jumble around on some of the rough roads around here, but don't think I had to use the tape at all. It works fine.

Picture attached.

Main phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 (micro Sim)

Second phone: Blackberry 9220

*Side note: I did not sign up for Blackberry Services. I had the Blackberry phone on and on WiFi before I put the Sim card in. Calling, text, and internet works fine.
