Everyone know that Google give you US$25 credit when you purchase Nexus 7 and you get the notification that US$25 is in your payment option of Wallet account. But you can not use it when you want to purchase applications. I try to send three mail to Play support and get nothing positive replay.

Finally the grey US$25 credit is due to my fault to register my home address as TW when I open the wallet account. As soon as you register the country then you can not edit it to US. Therefore you can not use this US$25 credit in US because I register TW as my home address. This is not related to you use US IP address or not when you want to purchase application in Play store.

So, take my advice. If you want to open a new wallet account, just make sure you register your home address as US country. If you register any country other than US, you can not get it back to US. BTW, you need the US IP to register the home address as US.

Someone say you can reset the Nexus 7 and then register with other GMail account then you get extra US$25 credit. I follow this steps and open a new Wallet account with US address as home address. I just receive a mail that I have activated a Nexus 7 with this GMail account but I wait over 24 hours, I do not get the mail of US$25 credit as other GMail address I use no-US home address.

It is pity that Google does not settle agreement with Taiwan authority about the refund policy of payment, so I can not purchase application in Taiwan. My situation now is I have US$25 credit as optional payment but it can expense in Taiwan market ONLY. I have to wait until Google have agreement with Taiwan authority. Please note that this US$25 credit is ONLY valid until June 30, 2013. :mad::mad::mad:
[Nexus 7 General] wjr002:
I had no issues with the credit and my address is registered as in Australia.

The credit automatically appeared without any changes or intervention by me.
[Nexus 7 General] alexjx:
Same here...

I registered it in HK. And the credit was OK for a while. But someday Google start enforcing the so called home address, my credited is locked up. And I have no way to use it unless I went back to HK maybe.

This is really ..., while Google has not warning or give not way to alter that setting once it is done. And to be honest, the CS provided by Google is useless... they could only do copy&paste.
[Nexus 7 General] Amon_Re:
Hell, I never received a mail about those $25
[Nexus 7 General] taitony:
It is shamed that Google lock the modification of home country, so its gift is not valid for people outside US.

I just put this thread to warn people to set home country as US when you sign in Wallet account if you want this credit become valid for purchasing on Play Store.

I have obtained the latest version (dated September 5th) here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31187814&postcount=12

I have noticed a problem though: with the previous version (R75-v6) I was able to run the app outside US, using Market Enabler and selecting USA T-Mobile or USA AT&T. With this new version, the trick does not work: the app displays the usual message "Not yet available in your country".

Anybody experienced the same?

Do you think there is some new check in the app? (e.g. looking at the mobile operator ID)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MercilessLTD:
I do believe that it has to do with the fact that address for billing being in the US.

I can confirm this works well on the Nexus S, and others seem to have gone around the country issue: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1810282
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] degiovab:
Indeed I have used all the suggested guidelines and put US addresses so that everything worked, up to R75.

But the latest version (R79) may have changed something, so I was wondering if someone outside US has noticed any difference after updating the app from R75 to R79.

In my case the app does not start anymore (but reinstalling R75 fixed everything back again to normal).
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neverone:
okay, i posted a thread a few weeks ago on some issues with AOKP milestone 6 on htc wildfire.. now, after fine tuning several aspects of the phone i ran into more issues, that i do not know how to solve.....

1. an incredibly annoying lag when receiving call... first comes the ringtone, then, about 4-5 seconds later, the screen turns itself on, and only then the in-call image appears, with an option to answer/decline a call. i managed only to reduce the lag a bit by managing several profiles in SetCPU app, but the problem persists no matter what i do....

2. battery life and occasional twitching when flipping through home screens/ app drawer - this issue got solved pretty easily by removing non-essential apps from system/app using root explorer, and properly setting processor frequencies in profiles with SetCPU. The phone now is fast, snappy, and the battery has almost 3 days of autonomy with quite a lot of background processes

3. Contacts search/suggestion problem - now this one is

truly annoying

, and i can't seem to figure out the reason why this is happening. it didn't happen at the beginning. now here's the deal: whenever i want to send a new message, and type the name of the recipient, the phone does not recognize/suggest the name (or can't find it in the phonebook). the only way is to type in the FULL number (with + and prefixes), and only then it will recognize the recipient and show his/hers name. the other method is to search for the contact in the phonebook and then chose an option to send a sms/mms. i imported my contacts list from google, the same i did with previous roms and after resetting the phone, and never had such a problem.... the other part is opening people app, i.e. the phonebook. when scrolling through contacts, all are there, visible and accessible, but when trying to search for a specific entry (i have over 300 entries, so search option is truly a must-have), it only finds some contacts, but not all. and i do not know the solution for these problems. i tried meddling with which entries are visible, checking and unchecking all google contatcs, but the problem is still there...

does anybody have an idea? i tried googling for this one, but it seems i don't even know what keywords to use since this specific problem wasn't addressed in any of the AOKP or CM-related threads
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
If I'm not mistaken you're already allowed to post in the developing section? I'd suggest you better post those ROM related stuff directly in the ROM thread - most likely people using that ROM (those who probably could give some answers) will follow that thread even if they rarely visit XDA. Furthermore other users may have similar issues and could find this stuff more easy ;)

[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
I think its says on amazon

In any case, free postage is usually between 3-5 UK working days so express would be less than 3 UK working days. If it is next day/2 day post urgent then I think there's an option for that as well - there are quite a few post options. Be advised though that the shorter time it takes, the higher the postage price! ;)
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Is there a custom ROM or tweak etc that will give me the following:

Button - Short Press Action / Long Press Action

Back - Back / Force Close Current App

Home - Home / Menu

Recent Apps - Recent Apps* / Search

*This is the one that seems to not work on custom button tweaks I've tried.

Also I would like the same behaviour for recent apps as stock 2.17 where it slides the previous app used into centre automatically which makes switching between 2 apps a doddle. The ROM I've tried doesn't and always shows the current app in the centre.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tavistockw11:
Hi there

Using ARHD 9.0 at the mom but would like to try the criskelo latest.

When i installed the ARHD i followed the instruction and placed the Rom file on my EXT sd card, then proceded on superwipe which removed everything on my INTERN SD card, and then installed the rom from my EXT sd card which remained intact... so far so goog!

Now on Crickelo instruction they say to save the Rom on my INTERN sd card, go into recovery nandroid etc.. and then WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET + WIPE CACHE PARTITION + DANS ADVANCED/WIPE DALVIK CACHE...

Will i not loose everything on my INTERN sd card if i do so included my saved Rom? Isn't wipe data factory reset like superwipe?

Sorry just a bit confused here and any help will be appreciated

Thanks you

Wipe data/ factory reset in recovery doesn't wipe phone internal memory. Just proceed as instructed by the OP.

I read Intratech's thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 Page 1 for more than 5 times and I "think" I know how to execute the steps to restore my GT-I9100M just like the 1st day I got it. (since I'm a newbie, I wasn't allowed to post my questions there!)

Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100M

Country/Carrier: Canada Bell Mobility

Product Code: GT-I9100LKABMC

Latest firmware: I9100MUGLD3/I9100MBMCLD3/I9100MUGLD3/I9100MUGLD3

Build number: IML74K.UGLD3

Android version: 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich

PDA: I9100MUGLD3

CSC: I9100MBMCLD3

Phone: I9100MUGLD3

Build date: April 19,2012 15:39:18 KST

I downloaded GT-I9100M_BMC_ICS_4.0.3_I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_I9100MUGLD3_Original.zip twice from two places (one from http://www.sammobile.com) and using MD5 checker, they are identical.

The zip file has only two files 1)I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_I9100MXXLD3_HOME.tar.md5 file and 2) SS_DL.dll

1) Now I just need confirmation that since it's only one tar.md5 file, I only need to use the PDA as in this http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/5705/odinm.jpg and I can forget about http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/8290/odinxm.jpg, correct?

2) Do I use Odin 1.85 or Odin 3.07?

3) From reading various threads, it seems like one must install Samsung Kies in order for Odin to work?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjayshah_cs:
yes just put that file in pda section, you can forget about the second link, use odin 1.85, it is recommended to have samsung kies, and remember do NO pull usb cable in the middle of the process
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. You only need to use the PDA.

- Your first image is correct and you can ignore image 2

2. Use the lower version of Odin first. 1.85 has always worked for me.

3. You need to install kies first, which installs your Phone's drivers but you must know that:

- kies runs in background even after you exit it.

- kies is not a friend to Odin

So to be very safe, do this:

a. Install kies, then

b. Connect your phone to pc, it will install all the drivers

c. Disconnect phone from pc

d. Uninstall kies (kies will be uninstalled, but the drivers will still be installed in your Pc)

e. Reboot pc

f. Now you can safely flash via Odin

Good luck

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omaxe:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
The only reason to have kies is for default installation of Samsung usb drivers... The same can be done without kies too as the drivers are easily available for download.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] met4ller:
Hi, I am new on forum and on Nexus S, but not with ROMS :)

I love this phone, but since I bought it, I have a strange bug. Maybe it appears because I did with "rom toolbox pro" a full backup of apps on another smartphone (acer liquid metal) and now I restored all apps on Nexus S.

this is the bug: sometimes (normally when I'm writing a message, or simply using virtual keyboard) it appear the "open as..." window, where I can choose to open it with gosms pro or gmail.

I tried to open it with both programs, and after this window, on gosmspro the text message is about the bug report, with 2 attached files: 1 .txt files with description of bug (but it's too long, approx 4 mb of .txt!!!) and 2 a .jpg screenshot of bug (but in the image there is simply the lock screen).

In gmail it appears the same thing. But I can't understand where is the problem or where the bug starts, so I ask you how can I find it.

I tried also to uninstall some apps (like gosms, also deleting app data) but without progresses.

If you like it, i can post the screenshot of the bug, or also the .txt or .jpg files in the bug report.

Now I'm using the CM10 , and I had the same problem with Skank ROM.

Please help me, I never found an answer on the web to this tiresome bug. : /

thanks guys and thanks for your BIG work !!!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Absolutely. But from experience, it's a good idea to wipe clean once in a while. I usually do it every few months to keep the problems at bay. Sometimes you'll spend more time trying to fix an issue than it would take you to restart from anew, and even if you end up fixing it that's only an issue you see. You aren't fixing udnerlying problems...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlphaEchoViktorSierra:
So does anything actually crash or is it just this that pops up?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] met4ller:
uhm, at the beginning i had 5-6 crashes, but I'm sure that it was linked to the overclock. In fact, when I put 1200 mhz, I was a noobie in that (because I came from smartphones that NEED overclock to have a fluid and rapid system), and when I reset it to 1000 mhz, it never did me another crash no more.

So yes, the bug is only this popup. I know isn't a little bug, but with the passing of times, it appears more and more times, so it's tiresome.

ah, few seconds before bug, the phone vibrate 3 times (everytime).

I'm using a plastic gel cover.

ah, another little thing that I hear yesterday for the first time: the front speaker at the top, sometimes (also 2-3 times in a minute, don' t know if it do that always, as in lock screen) do a very low sound repeated for few seconds (it's hard to explain this, it seems a radio frequency as "toctoctoctoctoc")...sorry for this onomatopea but maybe its' helpful for understanding what I mean :)

Incredible!!

my last smartphone had similar problem (microphone of acer liquid metal won' t work well with case)!!

but now the case seems to create a worst problem!! I can' t believe that this simple accessories can made theese problems ( considering that technology should give us better phones in every kind of way)....

NEWS : today, for the first time, telephone crashes 2 times: it never happens since my last OC (2 weeks ago) !!

I hope that case was problem for bug and also crashes!!

:eek:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Tell me if the bugmailer problem seems fixed after using it for a while. :)

Edit: I don't believe the crashes are related however. I'll tell you the magic behind the bug mailer after you tell me if it's fixed!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] met4ller:
ok I'll say you in 2 days! ;)

however, for crashes, I think I did a bull**** using a bad app called "cache fixer", because I used to free memory with my old phone.

If I see crashes again, I' ll wipe the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] met4ller:
OMG!!! you seems to have reason (fortunately) !!!

I'm nearly sure to have fixed this, now I wanna know the magic trick!! :D

How a technologic phone can be shocked by a simple plastic gel ?!?! :eek:

I guess that answer it's or the semi-pressure of volume/on-off buttons, or somethink linked to the temprature (with cover it increases). Right ? :)

Other things: for now, no other crashes, but the strange silent rumor on the top of the headspeaker sometimes appears. Can the phone record this low sound on the top? So you ' ll understand what I mean...

for now... thanks!! ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Your phone case presses on VOL +, VOL - and POWER all at the same time. That's a developper feature.

You can "disable" it by turning off USB debug but I highly suggest either fixing your case if possible or getting another one that doesn't press those buttons for no reason. ;)

Edit: I have no idea what you are talking about for the other issue though.

in fact first I tried that and it happened! :)
