You should not be buying like this if you don't have a credit card.

Buy from a brick and mortar store if you want to deal with cash (including debit) if you don't want to deal with what amounts to a credit hold.

A credit hold with a credit card is a non-issue since it is not really your money.

Basic credit 101...

See what? That you're an idiot? No company on this planet, including Apple, is going to send you an advance replacement without a credit hold. Now, why are you even here? To show the world how stupid you are or just general trolling?
[Nexus 7 General] kieso:
I *****ed at them up and down about that and they wouldn't even let me send mine back and when they received it send me a replacement. I was pissed also but ended up keeping mine that has screen lift.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
They don't actually charge the account when they do this. They just make sure your credit card has enough to support the charge. So they do a charge authorization on the account but don't process it. So the OP is never actually out the money unless he doesn't send the defective tablet back.
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
The Op hasn't credit limit, i guess.

I think he misunderstood rma by advanced trade.
[Nexus 7 General] Jamblejamble:
Glad it worked out in the end - I'll be sure to use my credit card!!
[Nexus 7 General] jacktownlane:
I didn't misunderstand anything. I just think people should be aware of the returns process.

It makes sense to me that not everybody can afford to just have an extra $200-$250 held on their account. So I think they should be giving people the option to return the device first and go without a tablet for a little while rather than be forced to go without their money for a little while.

Not everybody has a credit card. I'm 28 and I don't have one. I own my home, the only loan I have is a little over a year left on my car. Not everybody fits into the cookie cutter that Google is trying to force on us.

I love Google, I just think there are ways their customer service could be "more perfect" if you will.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I guess the part you are getting some guff over is the "buyer beware" warning. That usually implies a company is doing something bad. In this case you're saying "Beware, Asus does the same business practices as any other company on the planet that offers advance replacement."
[Nexus 7 General] wrexus:
Anyone have direct experience with Amazon? Amazon has always provided me excellent service and I think they will cross ship without charging on defective exchanges.
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
You know they tell you this on the phone when setting up the replacement, so
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
I think Google's replacement method is totally ridiculous.

Somebody said its common practice, I have NEVER known a company to charge you for a replacement product, and then sending you the money back.

JUST REPLACE THE DAMN PRODUCT

I can understand them wanting the device returned before they send a new one, but making you pay again is stupid.

What if you were a teenager saving up your pocket money, to buy a defective device, and then having to save for another one to get it replaced?

STUPIDITY!!
[Nexus 7 General] superchilpil:
It's a hold, most companies can either charge you like a service provider or they exchange it on the spot like a store

Didn't mean to thank. I meant to say..Verizon will send you an advance replacement without holding your yen

[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Normally with an authorized RMA, you send the item back, they get it in their inventory and they send you a new device so they don't have to put a hold on your card.

Now if it was deemed an advanced replacement, then they will hold the credit on your card until they make sure they get the defective/original one back. It's common practice, especially for more expensive merchandise and electronics.

Not really sure what happened here but at least it's been resolved. Sadly, customer service CAN vary between different reps. Even though there is a guideline, you might have just got someone on a bad day, or they are a complete rules lawyer, etc. Then you can get the ones that go above and beyond to help.

As recommended for the OP, I would just buy from a brick and mortar store for now on.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

That's probably because they can charge your account at any time they feel like it.
[Nexus 7 General] ralexand:
I hate to be the adult to break up the party -- but you should not purchase a device if it costs more than 50% of your net worth.

}}} my BUSINESS with Nils P was a REZOUNDing success on the ICS....uhmm 2.3 {{{
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
It's okay that you thanked me. LOL Verizon is a different animal...they have the ability to charge your account if you don't send the original back. It's pretty much the same process. Read your terms of service if you don't believe me.

Here is the thing, if Google just sent a tablet to anyone who claimed theirs was broken and they needed a replacement...and they DIDN'T do something to hold the money, what would stop people from getting a second tablet and then telling Google to take a flying leap and never send them anything? Law? Really? You think Google wants to spend several thousand dollars to collect on a $200-250 tablet from someone? Of course not.

Again, ANY COMPANY will have some way to secure the cost of a replacement PRIOR to sending you something WHILE you still have your original. This will never ever change for all of time. So there is no use *****ing about it. The only way around this is the "traditional" RMA process where you create and RMA, send in your defective device, once they get it and confirm they have it, THEN they send you the replacement. I can't stress this enough...all the wishes, gummy bears, and unicorn dreams out there are not going to get a company to send you a new device while you still have your original device that you claim is defective without securing it financially. End of story, end of discussion.
[Nexus 7 General] dsuycott:
I waited for the 30 days and returned to Asus. Had it back in about 7 businesses days.
[Nexus 7 General] nevertheless:
not quite sure I understand all this but it sounds like you don't have a credit card? that probably is an exception for them. There is no way they are going to ship you a new one until a they get the money for it or b get the replacement in house.
[Nexus 7 General] FallN:
The point is the OP had already sent back the defective unit, Google received it, admitted that they have it in their possession but refused to send him a unit unless they charged him/authorized another $199! Therein lies the problem!

Then they refused to refund him the FULL cost including all taxes and shipping. He was finally able to get a rep on the phone to give him back all his money after many calls, escalating to supervisors, etc. This is just not OK.

Google should have simply done a NORMAL RMA whereby the OP would send in the defective unit, Google receives it then send him out a replacement unit. Google dropped the ball here, not the OP. The OP did everything right and sent back the unit. Google is the one holding money for ransom and also had in their possession the defective unit! That's BS!

My current unit has screen lift, touchscreen wonkiness and mushy power button. I'm seriously considering an RMA but I don't want to deal with Google Insanity... So I'm waiting until these issues get so bad that I can't take it anymore and am forced to deal with Google RMA BS... God save me...
[Nexus 7 General] Full Duplex:
Repacement

I would estimate I do 90% of my buying online with prepaid cards only. Don't like the idea of someone else having my credit card that I pay bills with stored in a computer. (even though I'm sure it is).

I have bought from sites like NewEgg.com and Amazon.com as well as Dell and HP. When I do I only put the amount I need to make my purchase on that card. The card is rechargeable but I deplete it within a few dollars when I complete the purchase. I recently bought a $200 power supply for my PC that went out while under warranty from NewEgg.com. Without money on the card I purchased it with they sent me a replacement with a return shipping label in my email. I had both power supplies in my possession at the same time. The only catch was I had 10 days to return the defective one via UPS that NewEgg.com paid to have shipped.

However here at work I had to return a Printer to HP that went out 2 days after I threw the damn box away and the wanted a credit card just in case I did not return the defective one. The printer was originally bought at a local Staples but without the box I felt they would not take it back. After I returned the defective printer back to HP I was able to see 30 days later that the company credit card was never charged. It was not charged and returned, it was just never charged.
[Nexus 7 General] jacktownlane:
What he said.

We've gotten off-topic and there seem to be iTrolls hanging around, too.

To hammer the point again, Google does NOT do normal RMA's. They ONLY do advance replacement devices. If you don't want to have another $200-$250 held on your card, then do not send the tablet back to Google. Contact ASUS and you'll be able to send them the tablet and they will repair it and send it back or send you a new/refurb unit. If you don't mind giving up $200-$250 for a week, then by all means go the Google route. Just don't let any of their customer support staff tell you they do normal RMA's because their system cannot handle their mistakes.

The part you need is called the digitizer, they are pretty cheap and easy to install if your comfortable with taking apart electronics. There's a how-to for replacing it floating around here somewhere with the tear down diagram and the walk thru to replace it. I think there's a video or 2 on youtubez for it too

Scale 1-10, 1 being the simpliest, and 10 being extremely difficult what would you rate this fix. And also this would be my first time ever doing a screen or digitizer fix so ill deff have to find the walk through lol if I attempt this fix

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Depends on comfort level. For me its a 1 I can replace it and have the phone up and running in about 15 mins, for someone who is useless with tools it would be a 10. For someone fairly good with tools but who has never done it before it would be a 2-6. Its not difficult just delicate, make sure to release the tiny latch that holds the ribbon to the logic board or you will hose the whole phone cuz the ribbon won't stay attached. Before you order a digitizer you need to either check hardware version(hw002, hw003, hw004 etc) and then check to see if your hw version has only 1 ribbon size(narrow or wide) if it can have either one then you'll need to open it up and check which one is in there before ordering one so you don't end up with one that won't fit. You'll be able to spot the difference easily narrow is only a few mm's wide and the wide one is just under 1/4" or so

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkashtheBruh:
When windows phone 8 is released, will the new apps released be available for specifically WP8 or will they also be compatible with WP7.8?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrhage:
I guess it will depend of the developer.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
It depends on how they are built (what version of the runtime they target). Just as today, you can build an app for WP7.1 (or 7.5 if you prefer, a.k.a. Mango) and it will only run on Mango or later... or you can build an app with the 7.0 SDK (if you don't mind the limited APIs available) and it will run on all WP7 devices regardless of version. In the future, devs will have the option to target WP7+, or WP8 only. Obviously, the new APIs that are coming with WP8 will only be usable by WP8-exclusive apps.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AkashtheBruh:
ahh I understand, Well in your opinion, do you think that the windows phone 7.8 apps will be made or will they just be shunned altogether?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Given the way that Microsoft is being tight-fisted with the WP8 SDK, you're definitely still going to be getting almost all WP7 apps for the next month or three. After that... harder to say. There are still WP7.x devices being launched, so developers who wnat the maximum audience will continue to use the older SDK, but a lot of people are going to be lured by the power of those new APIs. XNA may make it easy to develop games, but people who want maximum performance and real DirectX access are going to be (of necessity, aside from homebrew) using the WP8 SDK.

Rom works great except for a few things:

1.Random hot reboots

2.Wallpaper is reset upon every reboot

3.ROM did not install properly the first time due to the size of it + GApps was above the size of the Neo's system partition (312MB)

Everything else seems to work smooth, videos, camera, etc... though I suggest using ICS Camera+ from the Play store, it's simply better than the ones on the ROM.

Anyways:

Me and pikpok think that it will be good to build a KXP Build 4_r1 with following hotfixes:

youtube issue fixed {all 2011}

hw info included in phone settings {all}

DSP Manager fixed {all}

OTA updater fixed and updated to 1.0.5 {all}

Xperia T and Xperia ION added to project

zeusc test version

md5 generating in CWM fixed {2011}

proximity sensor {2011}
