So, yes I can return, but it'll ONLY take me up too two months to get refunded. how nice.. I love the n7, other then this issue mine has been perfect! I actually been hoping there would be a update to fix the problem, that plus the horror stories for refunds kept me from returning haha. :banghead:

Damn.. What too do mmmm. Should I wait longer for a possible update fix?

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to hear that even with the long wait, you eventually got a refund.

Anyone else case to share about their return experience?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werdna87:
Just a suggestion, but you could try selling to :/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3SiEViL:
The thought did cross my mind, but generally would be for a loss though, I could maybe try selling on Ebay with a bit for shipping. Rather get a full refund if it's possible though. Even if it's minus shipping since I'm sure they don't refund that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werdna87:
Yea I get that but if you need the money and don't trust Google with the refund...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3SiEViL:
It's not that I need the money fast or anything, I just don't like it taking so long. Once it's sent back to them, I dint want have to call them repeatedly/around either. Looking around I found the return thing Google has, maybe I'll just do that.. The way Erica ended up going about it seems to be very bothersome. Thanks for your replys.

If image is blurry, the part I'm trying to show says possible 15% restocking free, and no shipping refund of course.

OK so you got yourself a noob here and may I say what a site very informative and the people despite dealing with noons alarmingly often are always helpful and polite. To my query. I wanna know about modems. I need a degree in em if you will. Say I want 4g internet on my 3g phone is it possible and how complicated is it? I've read a little about them here but not enough. Would there be a place I could find out which modems work best in my area and which of those would support 4g? As I sit in my wood sided house my signal strength is -105. If it helps any I'm running helly bean and it is like gliding on ice its so smooth compared to 2.3.5. So I'm not stranger to flashing. Could someone please help me understand these thing to better enjoy this cappy until next June when I'm available for an upgrade.

I've been running Shostock on my SGSII for a long while now. No issues.

Today my wife's iPhone died a horrible death, so we used her upgrade status to move her into a cheap SGSII. I have it here and I'm trying to root it to install Shostock. I want to set it up like mine, since I'm familiar with it and it has the features that make this phone worth having.

I'm on Linux, and I'm using heimdall. It's worked great for me in the past, but it seems no matter what factoryfs.img or zImage I flash, the phone simple will not boot. I get into download mode just fine, and the flash command works as expected, the phone reboots and just sits at the AT&T meatball and does nothing when I reboot. I followed Entropy's guide to a tee, downloading and flashing the exact files...nothing.

I'm a dead man come the morning...

did that. holding vol/up/down and power then wipe data/factory reset - and it still stalls at the meatball and "rethink possible".

A horrible irony at best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SiloIT:
Okay, I've tried heimdall with UCKH7_stock_root.tar.7z several times now and just get stuck in the boot look at "rethink Possible". Is there another factoryfs.img or zImage I should be using for an out of the box SGSII?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cmoore0965:
Had a similar issue on a newer i777, out of the box, threw it on the cord, and sent my trusty old stock root gb tar up its tail pipe lol low and behold, new s2 had shipped with ics. That took a lot of googling to find out with an unbootable phone on which to check firmware. I don't mean to patronize, but that's the only time I've ever encountered that issue.

[General Questions and Answers] kurrupt:
Hey everyone!

I am just wondering if you can clear things up for me. I have been installing a few rom's my phone and I would like to expand my options but when i see the installation requirements like:

wipe cache, wipe dalvik

format cache/data/system/sd-ext

What does that mean? and what are the potential risks compared to the roms that just ask for Wipe Data/Factory Reset.

Thank you again!

[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
He's right.

This is simple root stuff and to most anybody with some experience this is an insanely easy question.

Those "extra" things being wiped are caches. If anything on an electronic device is labled cache, you can delete it without repucussions.

We will get the 100 dollar upgrade toward a RAZR maxx HD.

Article here:

BTW, I am not recommending or condoning this, just sharing. I might do it just to see what the RAZR maxx HD is like but, we will see.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
The rebate program is a joke. I own three eligible phones but the offer is only valid in the USA.

[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Well this a good place to cross-link threads: the Support My Moto Campaign - I see a few of us have already been over in that thread... not sure what we will really get out of this, but it's a good consolidated effort I suppose.

And, what you all talking 'bout? We already got some jelly beans for our phone (cm10 - pretty good start, so far) - and, I am pretty optimistic that we will get some other flavors of JB too.. so, I guess the news is not so disappointing.

On the other hand, I will be taking advantage of Moto in any way I can, so gimme that 100 virtual bucks!

Probably use it for my wife's A2 - she don't need unlocked bootloaders - heck, she wants me to put her back on GB after a week of ICS :p

Moto seems to make good quality phones/handsets.. but I will most likely move on to another manufacturer and keep my A2 as a backup.

Edit: We are on that list, but the plain ol' RAZR (xt910/912) is not?!? That's just wrong...

TCF38012
[Motorola Atrix 2] Axis_Drummer:
Yea man. The best way to do it, if you WANT a phone, save up the money and pay what you have to. Contracts get way out of hand when it comes to the small things. I'm currently tied down myself, but not for much longer. I'll most likely keep the A2 as a back up though since its still a very good piece of hardware AND I've grown quite fond of my A2 community (good people). And, honestly, I may or may not go with another Moto phone. It just all depends.

But all in all, this whole deal with Moto really doesn't bother me as bad as others are bothered. I mean come on, this phone is the shiz, and Moto really does make great phones. Its just from a developers point of view where things get sour. :rolleyes:

Yes I went off topic a bit, but sometimes its needed for others to read and relate to.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Actually this has nothing to do with ATT, you do it through moto, and your ATT contract will not be affected.

You will probably have to put another 100+ with the 100 that moto gives for the exchange, but I am not exactly sure what pricing moto is doing for people taking advantage of the deal.

I will bet it is not the subsidized pricing that ATT has though, but more money than that.
[Motorola Atrix 2] WraithTDK:
Wasn't there an announcement some time ago that people under Google's alliance would be required to provide updates for phones for 18 months? Isn't the Atrix 2 only 1 year old this month? I've never felt so screwed over as I have owning the A2. It'd be one thing if I bought the bottom of the barrel device they offered and demmanded to be treated like a VIP, but I bought the most advanced, most expensive phone they had available for AT&T at the time. And it was brand new! Nine or ten months later and they're pushing back updates and announcing new version of it. One year later and Moto is pushing me to upgrade instead of providing me with updates?

And that $100.00 voucher is a joke. I bought that phone when it was brand new and it was only a year ago. That means I'm not elligable for an upgrade via AT&T; so if I want to take them up on their offer for an Atrix HD (their most powerful phone currently on AT&T), I still have to drop $350.00 to replace my barely 1 year old phone.

And this is from a company owned by Google, who makes Android? Shameful.
[Motorola Atrix 2] zephxiii:
I am just happy that my Atrix 2 is running a very nice build of ICS. I do not think I would want the Atrix HD due to the sealed smaller battery. If i were to get another phone it would be an SGS3 probably. Though to be honest i really love how vanilla my Atrix 2's ICS is so I will happily stay put.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
Main reason I want Jelly Bean:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WQcl4RDl5I
[Motorola Atrix 2] markayak:
liking ICS, but this is my last moto

pretty disappointed with Moto.

I had the 4G which I liked very much and was looking forward to ICS (despite all the delays) but it started going TU about a month and a half ago (just before Moto cancelled the ICS upgrade). Service Plan replaced it with an Atrix 2 (they were out of 4Gs, charged me $125 "deductible")

couple problems:

it doesn't work with the original lapdock for no good reason, they just flipped the orientation of the USB and HDMI to be dicks.

The battery life of the 2 is crap compared to the 4g,

They cut the built in Flash in half (wait, isn't the 2 supposed to be an upgrade over the 4g?)

various minor *****es regarding ergonomics

On the other hand, about a week after I got the 2, Moto cancelled the ICS update for the 4G despite promising it for 6 months.

got the ICS update (finally) on the 2, it is nice, big improvement. but now we hear that a less than one year old, top of the line phone produced by a google subsidiary isn't going to get JB? they are going to offer me a $100 off on either a non-upgrade Atrix HD or a switch to Big Red?

messed up.

when I am eligible for an upgrade from ATT in December, HTC One X+, Samsung GXIII or some flavor of Nexus phone here I come.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
What do you mean cut built in flash? I thought ergonomics of the 4G were terrible, that awkward power button and the slippery feel. Also wouldnt you agree screen, camera and speakerphone are much improved on the A2? All I'm saying is that A2 is a nice piece of hardware. Beyond that Moto sure pulled an ugly trick on A4G and A2 users.*insert mad smiley*
[Motorola Atrix 2] zephxiii:
I would take the 2 over the 4G any day. ICS is a massive upgrade to Android. Just get the motorola extended battery for it and be happy.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Slightly off topic, but I have been in attendance at the Big Android BBQ here In Dallas/Fort Worth and the Motorola vendor booth was nothing but crickets chirping.

Seriously, a couple of hot chicks behind their booth sitting, playing Words With Friends or Facebook'ing, and nobody strolled by -at least from what I saw, and I was there several hours!

I'll post an image after I retrieve them from my Nikon...

Sent from my rooted Mayan calendar
[Motorola Atrix 2] markayak:
4g had 16gb built in, 2 has only 8.

I preferred the more rounded back of the 4g and liked the fingerprint reader. despite the 2 being only slightly larger in overall dimensions, it _feels_ much bulkier due to the shape of the sides and back.

camera is a little better, nice to have a dedicated shutter button. speakerphone (at least on mine) no better, maybe even worse.
[Motorola Atrix 2] fireforhire:
Are you sure? According to the terms, you have to buy the phone first, then return your old phone with proof of purchase....... So that likely means you must either renew a 2 year contract, or buy the phone off contract for more than tripple.

Sounds like att has a lot to do with it...
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
How does att have anything to do with it? It all happens through motorola, and yes you have to purchase the phone off contract, but I am not 100% sure on how motorola is handling it, you will have to take the pricing up with them.

If you want to deal with att, then you will have to wait until your contract is nearly up, I think it is like 18 months before they will give you an early upgrade and get a subsidized price, so it is all up to you.

You will have to pay money to motorola/ATT no matter what, that 100 bucks (only if you do it through moto) will only get you so far, and most likely you will be paying another 200-350 for the other phones you can select, if you do get this deal with moto. So again what does att have to do with this your statement made no sense what so ever?
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
Futher more the internal memory isn't user acessible unlike other Moto models. This might indicate that our phone is a low-end model by Motos standards and maybe that's why a JB update wasn't prioritized. Damn, any way you look at it it's depressing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
As promised:
[Motorola Atrix 2] zephxiii:
I was under the impression that they would rebate u 100 dollars after u upgraded your phone, hence having to upgrade through your carrier.
[Motorola Atrix 2] gekster:
Yes. Speakerphone is the worst part of Atrix 2. Especially after ideal clean sound of Atrix 3G.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RoadToNever:
Funny how we perceive things differently, the A4G speakerphone always left my ears ringing, the sound was so harsh and piercing. A2 is smooth and clear sounding,

I could finally enjoy extended podcasts and occasionally music when I'm not using headphones.
[Motorola Atrix 2] fireforhire:
If you're saying what I said makes no sense, you're making a semantic argument. Apparently you're able to see the connection between the likely scenario of having to buy the phone and the contract that most atrix 2 owners are still under. I'm still under contract from my original atrix.

The whole way the program is set up, it involves each and every carrier that offers every phone they are offering in this program so what you're arguing doesn't make sense....
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Again, and I have said this multiple times in this thread "You will have to purchase the phone off contract if you are on a contract still. If you want to deal with att and try for an early upgrade that is up to you." Motorola is ONLY giving you the 100 bucks in a gift card, or something similar, after the purchase of the new moto phone.

Again you do not HAVE to deal with any carrier here, unless you really feel the need. For instance you can walk into any verizon store and leave att if you really want and get a razr maxx hd on contract and still get the 100.00. Or you can go to best buy and get any of the approved moto phones that work on any carrier on or off contract and still get the 100 bucks. So again the rebate has nothing to do with any carrier, and even moto says that many times.

If you are a person that never buys phones off contract, then you are stuck until your contract is over. I am not one of those people, If I want a phone and don't have an upgrade I will find a way to get what it is that I want. If you have an issue with the fact you will not get Jelly Bean on the atrix 2, then this is at least a nice gesture from moto that will allow you get a phone that will get Jelly Bean.

Again this offer is carrier independent. What you do and how you do it, is up to YOU, not the carrier or moto.

Sent From My Motorola Atrix 2/MB865 Running SwiftyTrix v1.3. (OTA ICS 4.0.4)
[Motorola Atrix 2] sad_but_cool1:
my perspective honestly

i will put my perspective honestly:

1- we can not force motorola to update AT2 to JB, cause the "18 months period",last update was about one month before.

2- we have locked bootloader, but not a big problem,no need to flash custom kernels

3-we have efuse chip,but a good method to protect phone,at least the phone boots in recovery mode to flash the correct rom (never happens with me)

4-motorola released the source code (in sourceforge),we can use it,i know that we have some missing libs/files in sourcecode,but we can use the similer drivers/libs from another omap 4430 based phone sourcecode (like i9100g),we don't have major drivers/libs problems like atrix 4g fingerprint scanner.

5-MOD EDIT

6-we have agood phone with a good price,less than a similar phone like i9100/g by a 70$, this price defference is for lake of bootloader freedom and full source code libs/moduls

7-the bootstrap project gives us a great chance to work/develop rom's to AT2, thanks to give a new life to moto AT2

8-we have the fxz packages,even no full ATT ICS FXZ package,but ATT users can use GB FXZ in emergency cases.

why we didn't see new/stable roms like Paranoid/CM/AOKP/miui(recently supported)?can anyone answer this question?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Because we have needed ICS to really get these working properly, when we were on GB we tried to get several of these working, and had more trouble, so we waited until ICS came out, and low and behold things started to work as we thought they would. I am suspecting because moto has finally eliminated most of blur and their additions and ICS is the most like aosp, than ever before, now.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah, the dev team has thought about that. Once it is released for the razr we can look at porting it over, and see if it is possible.

We have had a lot of trouble with porting from other phones to ours, because of our bootloader fun, in the past.
