I saw the charges show up in AMEX and then got the confirmation email so I thought it was safe to think the card eventually went through. Also since it said i'd have 7 days to modify the payment if needs be and I got an order number I thought I should be cool.

When I saw a bunch of other people getting Pending/Pre Order status and I didn't have a declined or cancelled status further made me think all was well.

Anyhow, I replied to the email so who knows, maybe they will work something out, maybe not, at this point i'll just have to wait and see.
[Nexus 4 General] KrisM3:
I also got the error didn't process card message when I completed my order. 20 minutes later it showed up in my wallet followed by the confirmation email.

It now shows:

Well i used a debit card from Bank of America, and as soon as i charged $800+ dollars for 2 16gb and 2 bumpers, i got an email from my bank saying 'Detected Irregular Activity' asking me to call them to confirm that it was an authorized payment. Everything is fine, still says shipping estimate: Nov 15 and its still pending.

Funny, I got the same, and I only ordered one phone. Called up and talked to a BofA rep and she said just that the online purchase flagged their system. Seems strange, buying a phone doesn't seem like a crazy fraudulent charge..

After four calls and 3 emails I finally got some good news!

[Transformer TF300T General] poisondminds:
I can't find an answer to this anywhere.

I tried giving my rooted tf300t a factory reset and it's stuck on the android upgrading screen (the one with the android guy and the blue thing moving around inside of him). I've tried volDown and power. It doesn't take me to my custom recovery. It won't even turn all the way off. It just keeps resetting and going back to the upgrading screen.

The only funky thing I did that may have caused this is that to factory reset, instead of going to CWM, I used settings->backup&reset->factory reset. I don't have any idea what to do to fix it. Right now im letting it die altogether. Hopefully then I can get into recovery.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

*I've also attached a photo of the screen if my description wasn't enough.

*SOLVED...turns out it just took whole 2 hours to factory reset...who knew

What he said^^^^
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerbicycle:
T-Mo for speed is probably the best.

However for (possibly) a better look at coverage, may I suggest looking at the Root Metrics Coverage Maps or the Sensorly Coverage Maps. They're based on user submitted tests and data that offer a much better look at where reception is good or bad.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
T-Mobile is spending a lot of the money ATT gave them to beef up their network. T-Mobile wants to be a viable competitor again. Their Hspa+ is about 3-4 times faster than ATT. With those things said I chose T-Mobile today. In addition to everything I said they also have truly unlimited 4g and they are cheaper.

it is based on your location, tbh...

Maybe some NYC XDA people will comment on their experiences with both here...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevenSe7enSeven:
Depends on location. T-Mobile worked great for me and speeds were incredible for HSPA+. But the problem with me was I had no reception in crucial areas, kinda suck if you can't receive calls text at home or some areas at work.

Att allows you to use their post paid plans without signing a contract. And you can try T-Mobiles $30 100 min, unlimited text and data and only be down 30 of it don't work out
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neiljain:
Hi,

I tried to install CM10 on my Motorola Defy+ (MB526), which was successful to some extent.

When I tried to install the latest gapps through CWM, it froze at the starting applications part.

I force restarted it, seeing that there was no change for a while.

When I restarted the phone, it kept on rebooting, with limited functionality, so I downgraded to CM9.

An error message pops up which says with Encryption Unsuccessful. A reset button was available, but didn't help.

I then re-upgraded to CM10, but the phone has limited functionality.

After researching the problem, I realised that the /data partition is not mounted as it is probably corrupted.

Is there any fix to this problem? Will flashing a sbf recreate the /data partition?

Please advise as the phone is basically useless without /data (no apps and constant reboots)

Thanks,

neiljain

Hi Buddy,

I went through the same process last evening, earlier i was on 2nd boot then it was very slow hence I decided to move to CM9 for better UI and good battery life. but while doing so my phone also got encrypted.

I did following and installed CM9 yestrday night.

Removed SD card, read it through computer (CArd reader) and put CM9 in one folder along with GAPPS.

Charged my battery till green light pops up.

Entered the SD card again and then started the phone in Custome Recovery.

Full data Wipe

Dalvik Cache wipe

Install CM9 and Gapps.

again clear Cache and dalvik and reboot.

It should work, let me know if it doesnt work post that as well.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YetAnotherForumUser:
This will format your data partition, be warned!

Boot to recovery and turn on adb (in Advanced). Open a shell on the phone through adb from a PC. Try to find out if data is mounted, and if so what filesystem type it uses:

$ adb shell
~ # mount|grep /data
/dev/block/mmcblk1p25 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,nobh,data=writeback 0 0

If /data is corrupted it will not be mounted. On my phone /data and /cache are formatted ext4, which is only supported in the latest CM10. If yours happens to be formatted ext4 as well and you want to go back to CM9 you'll have to reformat both to ext3. If /data is corrupted you can also reformat the filesystem as you don't seem to have data worth keeping on it anyway (seeing that you talk about doing a full SBF flash to 'recreate the /data partition'). This can be done manually or - if you have not nuked the scripts installed by CM10 - using one of the scripts made for that purpose. Those scripts live in /system/bootmenu/script:

~ # ls /system/bootmenu/script/|grep format
format_ext3.sh
format_ext4.sh

If you have access to these scripts you can just run format_ext3.sh to reformat /cache and /data in ext3:

THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR DATA PARTITION - ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!

~ # /system/bootmenu/script/format_ext3.sh

If you don't have access to them you can achieve the same effect using the following commands:

THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR DATA PARTITION - ALL DATA WILL BE LOST!

PART_CACHE=/dev/block/mmcblk1p24
PART_DATA=/dev/block/mmcblk1p25
umount /data
umount /cache

# if you want to check the filesystems you can run these commands...
#/system/bin/e2fsck -y $PART_DATA
#/system/bin/e2fsck -y $PART_CACHE

# to format the filesystems to ext3 use these commands
/system/bin/mke2fs -j $PART_DATA
/system/bin/mke2fs -j $PART_CACHE
mount -t ext3 -o nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1 $PART_CACHE /cache

Once you have formatted /data and /cache you should be able to install CM9 - no need for any SBF flashing unless your phone is really messed up (as in 'deleted the stock kernel' or something like that).

THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR DATA PARTITION - ALL DATA WILL BE LOST! Or did I say that already?

No matter. THIS WILL FORMAT YOUR DATA PARTITION - ALL DATA WILL BE LOST! Just to be clear...

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YetAnotherForumUser:
adb is the Android Debug Bridge, a program running on both the phone as well as your PC which makes it possible to access your phone (through either a command line shell or some GUI-thing layered on top of it).

Are you also new to Linux and/or computers in general? In that case you're probably better off flashing the phone as detailed, even though that takes way more time and does involve more risks. If you feel comfortable running commands from a command line I'd advice you to install the ADK (Android Development Kit) on your PC, get adb working and run the commands as I explained. That way you regain access to your phone without all the hassle and risks involved in flashing all the way from SBF. Both methods work, so the end result should be the same.

I'm intentionally not going into excruciating detail on the task of installing and running adb as I don't think you should use your phone as a guinea pig to start experimenting with adb - for that use the emulator which comes with the ADK.

As soon as logs are kept and google have at least one computer available to sort the logs by time they should start dispatching with the first-come first-served patterns. Otherwise it is just unfair. I am so happy that you have confirmed that with 2 representatives.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
Build rom from source. It is a less tedious process than buulilding an app. Make sure that you build a rom that makes it different from cyanogen. I'm quite sure you know code rather well, so integrate things like the floating window app into the rom so that rather than multitasking with the carousel. We multitask with windows on the phone. Allow the status bar to house the windows, and you can transition from the status bar. Also, add a swype gesture so that you can call the status bar by swiping down, thus allowing you to transition, or rework the code so that holding the home button calls the status bar and not the recent apps carousel. This is just an idea, and I'm a dev, but I'm not very code savvy. If u need a couple more ideas, shoot me a PM.!! :)

[LG Nitro HD] nightlimits:
I've actually done research and there are a few that do work. Avast and Zoner work. You can test it with a file from the market. Search for 'Zoner antivirus test' and DL that to test your av app. Its not harmful to your phone, just has a piece of code that is recognized by av software. That will tell you if it works. Personally, I've used both and have found Trojans in apps on the market which are immediately scanned and deleted automatically. So I know they work for me.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Yeah I've used Avast but don't you wish that these so called security programs would scan the apps for unwanted ads instead of trying different 'Ad Blocker' apps that most times don't work anyway lol, I guess the only way is to get rooted (soon) so I can use 'Lucky Patcher' ;) just nervous about rooting even though the 'hereric rooting' thread looks easy enough but I had it easy with HTC/Android phone rooting cuz it's just one click programs and your done with basically '0' chance of bricking
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
Uncool. Using lucky patcher is, first of all, illegal, second, these devs who give you free apps need to support themselves somehow. So they put ads in their apps. If you're not willing to see a few ads for the functionality of the app, you don't deserve to use it.
