[Transformer TF300T General] aznmode:
My advice is to make sure you can return it just in case you're not happy with it. I/O issue plagues most of current Asus pads so in the end, lower price may not justify the frustration. Again you might be ok with it but just in case.
[Transformer TF300T General] wha2do:
Good point - just checked with Office Depot and they do give 14 days to return it for a full refund. So that shouldn't be a problem...

As for the I/O issue, how prevalent is it? I did a quick search and did find some references. This has me greatly concerned and if it's that big problem of a problem, then about only alternative is the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. But being a dual core, was worried it'd be noticeably slow in running apps, browsing/viewing multimedia, etc. Did like some aspects of the Galaxy, but was really leaning towards the TF300T.

Just came across one XDA thread from August discussing ASUS working on fixing this and the OTA 4.0.4 greatly helped the benchmarks. Is it possible a new kernel or update has corrected the issues at this point? Another in September mentioned using a custom ROM...I plan on rooting it, though just as with my EVO3D thought I'd stay with the stock rooted ROM. I'd figure this an option to help correct the problem if I do encounter it (and if necessary, run a different ROM)?

Lastly, how difficult is it to root?

Thanks much for the insights!!
[Transformer TF300T General] falcon26:
Can you get the Black version only at BB? I would love to get that one but online for $279..
[Transformer TF300T General] wha2do:
I noticed on the Office Depot Black Friday ad that they have the TF300T 32Gb for $299.99 (advertised as blue so may not be the black you want). Some items are available for sale online tomorrow - Update: turns out have to go to the store on Friday morning to get this deal. I know it's an extra $20 and quite possibly blue, but still a good deal...

And yes, after reading more I feel less wary of the i/o issue. Some had encountered it, others not and seemed that OTA updates (possibly moving from ICS to Jelly Bean) helped. Plus rooting and running a custom ROM is another option or worst case, bring it back...

Looks like another round of learning regarding unlocking the bootloader and rooting. Was reading a bit about being able to do OTA updates if rooted (but not unlocked), and restoring root after. Seems to me on my EVO3D doing OTA's after unlocking & rooting weren't recommended, and that may be the case here too? I do have to go back and do more reading on these topics!

i´d be thankfull
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] young111:
hi guys. Is any chance someone can help me with the issue I,ve got. While browsing some of the sites in the internet after 2 minutes it's automatically going back to home screen. I have checked 2 browsers Firefox and stock and it's still the same. Does any1 know what would that be or had a similar problem?

Thank u.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
Try Dolphin Browser or Chrome and make the setting to "not sleep" when in use. If it doesn't help, you may have to re-flash your Rom.
[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
I am running XBMC on the Smoothbean rom. It is running great! Except for streaming1080 mkv files, which is asking a bit much i guess. I have the playstation media server set up on my pc. Does anyone know how i can setup browsing with the metadata for my movies in the XBMC?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armaros:
Hello,

I know this might've been answered atleast a dozen times, but I'm seriously in a hurry and I need a reply, fast or advanced, the situation is seen from the title, however, as I will explain it here, I'd like to mention that I did search and try everything. however none have worked, and I'm seeking professional and or novice help from someone who understands technology.

I have a Galaxy tab, P1010 (wifi only), I've dug with it around, it's sort of new, still got the warranty, to the point, I think it's bricked.

It's giving me the picture of the phone being unable to connect to the PC. (Warning sign in between them, bet most of you know how it looks like eitherway).

Is this really critical, or is there a way to fix it? And I'd like to ask whether someone could help me find some stock firmware, for the EU tab?

That's pretty much all summed up, don't shoot me too hard if I posted this in the wrong forum or this is already overasked,

thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ableeker:
This is not a problem, this screen is still a download screen. You need to restock, flashing will still work. However, this is not a forum for the P1010, it's for the P1000, you need to ask again in a P1010 forum, they should be able to help you.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
ableeker,

I think this is the forum for P1010 too

but there aren't that many P1010 devs and users around.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armaros:
Thanks for all the help, I've decided to fix it today and it worked perfect, simply putting 2.2.1 worked. :)

Since it's risky, I'll try upgrading to gingerbread after my girlfriend is back from a trip with it... I hope it works well and won't brick (seriously this time).

Thanks again, and bye.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniady:
HI,

This problem starts about one day after the installation of the rom.

It changes it's settings without any reboot.

It the sound, keyboard, vibrant settings be the only settings changed it would not be a problem but that's not all.

The icon space for the status bar on the left from WiFi, Signal, bater etc is not showing any staff.

The middle button is not working at all.

The sound for the incoming messages and notifications is not working.

There is no notification for the incoming calls

After a hard reset the phone works fine for a noter 30 hours and "crashes" again.

Can this problem by in any way repaired ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
I've been using C-RoM Mix v6 since the 1st day of its release and I'm not experiencing any of the problems you mentioned. I suggest you re-flash the Rom with full wipe plus format /system. If you came from GB, it is recommended to flash a CM9 ICS first before C-RoM to avoid any post-installation problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sniady:
Hi, I was using C-ROM Bean before(starting from 2.0)and I newer had this problem. Each time I'm installing a new version, I do it from GB>CM10>C-Rom. Each step is followed by a factory format and data and cache wipe.

I've change the Bean(in 2.4 ver.) version to Mix(6.0), because of the a gps problem.

Could this be because of the CM10(nightly version) I'm installing before the C-Rom ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
Yes that might be the cause of your trouble. The recommended way is to flash CM9 before C-RoM. I suggest you re-flash as recommended.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wannajump:
So I love Robbie Hood’s Jelly Bean XXLS7 Rom but I am using APEX Launcher and the Samsung Widget Weather Clock is missing. It’s not a problem if you’re using Samsung’s Touchwiz Launcher as you could use the accuweather widget but as i have said I am using APEX.

So I extracted SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk and AccuweatherDaemonb.apk from Crash 1976, flash both of them through Aliance Rom Customizer as system apps, go to Recovery and fix permissions. After rebooting, I got my old Samsung Widget Weather Clock.

[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
OK so to add to the Saga of f**k ups by Google, Managed to order 2 phones (one for me and one for my brother) ordered 2x16gb and received 2x8gb. Rang Google to play hell with them and they basically told me that I either return them and wait up to 4 weeks for stock to come in or take the hit and pay £279 for 8gb. This is totally unacceptable but what else can I do?? I sold my S3 when i got my order accepted. :crying:

Ricey
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
Edit:I apologize for being an ass
[Nexus 4 General] Sparta507:
thats sucks! well if i were you, i would just send it back and get the 16! and from then till now just use a chippie phone until it arrives... but what an inconvinience
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
You're calling him spoiled?

If he bought something and it isn't what he received, he has every right to claim it.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
I would be happy taking the 8gb version if they would credit the difference but they wont.
[Nexus 4 General] TopazUser1:
^^^^ Flip them on ebay and wait for google to replenish their stock. You'll come out WINNING.:good:
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
I'm just annoyed by all these whiny people. What he has there is profit. Just sell it on ebay and wait a month. Sure he has every right to return it. But with such a high demand for this device and the chances being high that he maybe wouldn't have gotten the 16 GB he could make the best out of it done returning it will have him waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] rumthin:
More stock is coming in 4 weeks? That's depressing.
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
I have ZERO sympathy for people who ordered after selling their only phones.... You had plenty of time to save up and pay outright...

I have my trusty one x which I don't even know if I'm gonna sell now due to the mixed reviews...
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
If this truly is the case then yes, I would be extremely angry. You paid extra for one with more storage but they gave you one of lesser value instead and won't refund the difference.

Not only is it enough to make someone very angry but it is completely illegal.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Oh mate you getting at me for whining?? What the hell is your post doing? I don't want profit i want the phone that i have paid for
[Nexus 4 General] craiigman:
No stock for 4 weeks! Wow, I'll grab a Nexus 7 now and then save what I spent on the Nexus 7 for 4 weeks time then I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
I sold once i got order confirmation, how was i to know they would screw it up?
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Apparently it ain't their policy as they cannot prove they are 8gb. Surely they could check via IMEI?
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
I must have missed the part that said you payed 2x 16 GB and got 2x 8gb and they are not willing to give you the difference. In that case I'll say I'm sorry and an idiot to be quick to judge.

Edit: though just auction the two devices. Crap load of money
[Nexus 4 General] systemf:
Ya that's bait and switch which is illegal. Don't know what kind of consumer protection op country has but I can't imagine that being ok.
[Nexus 4 General] rabbit140:
Haha... good joke there from Google; send a £249 phone for £279 because they don't have them in stock.

Seems legit.
[Nexus 4 General] joe_sun:
You need to call back and get a supervisor on the phone. If they won't help get their supervisor on the phone.

Mistakes happen but you, the paying customer, shouldn't have to pay for it.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
No worries, So you all think the best thing is just to sell on ebay? Tempted just to suck it up but my pride is hurting lol
[Nexus 4 General] rumthin:
If you do call back, you should probably wait until you cool down a bit. Eventhough it is absolutely Google's mistake, no one responds well to people yelling at them.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Ive rang back and asked for a supervisor and he has transferred it to a "case specialist" who will get in touch within 24 hours. But he seems to think the options will stand.
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
In Europe on eBay they (8gb) are selling for 450 euros if not higher. That is probably a bit less than 600$ . imagine... 1200$ ... -700$ you'll be paying for your phone in future (16gb)... ;)
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
Do as this person suggested. Call Google, tell them you want the difference in price refunded. If the customer service rep does not cooperate, ask for their supervisor. This approach works on almost every customer service department. Try it. I'm sure you will be refunded the difference between 8gb and 16gb.
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Surely there are laws to protect your rights in this situation? Try looking them up and quote whichever is relevant to their customer services. UK laws are usually pretty good at protecting the customers rights.
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
The case cannot stand.

You currently have 2x8gb models. You were charged 2x16gb models. That is illegal. They screwed up. They should fix it. Not you.

Just remember to speak calmly and respectful but be firm with what you want. This approach has worked wonders with numerous CS departments from my experience.
[Nexus 4 General] doctahjeph:
My guess is Google won't refund the difference because they have no way of telling if he is telling the truth or not. That why they say he can return or keep the lesser phone. He has every right to be angry they sent the wrong phone, but can't be angry that they won't refund difference.
[Nexus 4 General] rabbit140:
Yea, just sell it on eBay. But set it to be an auction and start from 1$; people will surely bid much, much higher. Or you can just set an option to Buy It Now and give some good price, like 400$. Not a huge profit though but some would be tempted. Or you can set both options :)
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
That is true. I'm sure he could sweet talk them tho. I have gotten more out of CS departments in my past to be honest tho.
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
B.S... The IMEI or serial numbers should be tied directly to the receipt that came in the packaging of the N4's. They should easily be able to look up his receipt number and compare it to the IMEI or serial numbers to determine that they did, in fact, send him the wrong phones.

That is one of the main purposes of having a receipt in the first place. If Google cannot do this then the debacle of this release has become an even larger problem.
[Nexus 4 General] doctahjeph:
They are not forcing him to keep the lesser phones. He can return them and get the phones he ordered. Problem is the ones he ordered are sold out for a few weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Just to prove i aint lying (for the doubters)
[Nexus 4 General] doctahjeph:
I am pretty sure someone at Google can. But, can their out sourced CS rep?
[Nexus 4 General] chrisgtl:
Did you pay with a credit card?
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Yeah just looking into the protection now.
[Nexus 4 General] doctahjeph:
I bet someone out there bought two 8gb models and got a special surprise today.
[Nexus 4 General] rebelsfv:
Get them some place else with someone elsed credit card:)
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
What are the chance of the sticker on the phone being incorrect and its really 16gb?? I know clutching at straws don't wanna open it in case they take the restocking fee if i return them
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
That's another route to take. Many credit card companies have a fraud department that will look into this issue for you. I had MasterCard look into a fraudulent seller off eBay. They sent me the wrong size of something and wouldn't return my emails. MasterCard refunded my money, and looked into the issue. I ended up getting to keep the wrong size and the seller sent a new (correct size) item with an apology.

I don't know what happened in the background but many credit cards offer a service like that. If it comes down to it, try calling your credit card and explain to them what happened, see what they suggest.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisgtl:
Go into the phone and check the memory capacity
[Nexus 4 General] arzbhatia:
+1

You might wanna consider doing that ricey.
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
I'm pretty sure there isn't a restocking fee in the UK? I could be wrong but I think that's just a US thing..
[Nexus 4 General] AznDud333:
calmly call google, tell them they sent you the wrong item

ask for a refund with restock waived since this is their fault

if they reject it, ask for manager

reject again tell them you will file with BBB
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Yeah i think its illegal in the EU to charge a restocking fee.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
What if i open the phone? Do I lose my right to return?
[Nexus 4 General] doctahjeph:
I just checked ebay. The 8gb model is going for $500+ with still time to bid. So yeah I would sell them. Take the profit and get a nexus 7 or 10.
[Nexus 4 General] jrush4:
Aah that's a tough one :/

I got an email just now saying my order was on backorder and to expect it within 3 weeks, and given the chance I don't know if I'd keep the 8gb for the extra price.

On the one hand you've got a nexus 4 when many of us haven't, albeit at a higher price, on the other you've been jipped out of extra cash because of a cockup at Google. Maybe if it was just the 1 it'd be more acceptable, but since its 2 that's £80 you've been done out of.

Maybe keep it for a while then send it back within the returns period? Nand backup then restore to the 16gb when you get it? Not sure where you are, forgot to check before I hit reply... Restocking fee might apply so my idea might be useless!

Remember if you sold it on eBay they'd take 10% plus insertion fees and PayPal fees, you'd only stand to make a minimal amount. Maybe just bite the bullet and return them? Test the phone for a day or two, figure out if it's worth the wait!

Hope things get sorted for you.
[Nexus 4 General] glenroebuck:
if google wants to be apple - they should learn how to launch a product. (oh and not for nothing - I ordered 1 16gb and have yet to even get my tracking info so at least you got the wrong thing faster than I got nothing! :) )>
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
Shouldn't have any bearing on it.

I'm pretty sure you could quite successfully get away with saying you didn't notice it was 8GB until you started the phone up.
[Nexus 4 General] doctahjeph:
If he lives in a big enough city he might be able to flip them for a decent return on Craigslist. I just sold an iphone5 for $750.
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
Lol!!!
[Nexus 4 General] mintvilla:
i'll buy them both off you for 279 each
[Nexus 4 General] jrush4:
Good point, craigslist or Gumtree etc, always a good alternative to eBay.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
The law in the UK is written such that you have the chance to work out whether something is 'as described' (these clearly aren't) and of 'merchantable quality'. Clearly in most cases you can't do this without actually using the device, so you're covered. You're even fine if you have thrown the box away before you notice - despite the way some shops try to insist on original packaging.

http://whatconsumer.co.uk/what-are-my-statutory-rights/
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Although the fact they won't just refund is despicable and I have no respect for that whatsoever, what they are offering is legal. That you return to get the proper product. The fact its backordered should not matter, they should scrape up 2 dusty ones that fell under the fork lift.

Although that is the minimal legal procedure, like I said, it is respectable that they won't do a direct refund or send some right away. I would keep bothering them. They will bend.
[Nexus 4 General] EnIXmA:
I just talked to one of the Google staff on the phone and he said that they would be getting the shipment right before Christmas. So yeah, 4 weeks it is :(
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Update: Ok so the "specialist" never get back to me regarding the issue, so I rang back today and played hell with them. They put me through to a manager and he was able to match the IMEI numbers on their system (wait for it)...they are on their system as 16gb WTF!!! So they basically started calling me a liar over the phone. To cut a long story short he is transferring it to a higher level and i should expect to hear something in the next 24 hours (yeah right).

How the hell do i prove to them they are indeed 8gb?? When i told them that there is only 5.37gb free space he said "thought you said they were 8gb?" WTF these are supposed to be the experts and yet they don't know about actual formatted space?? Then had the cheek to ask me if i had downloaded any apps. Bloody Amateurs!!
[Nexus 4 General] Hest88:
Hm. If there's an error in their systems I wouldn't be surprised if you're not the only one who ordered 16gb and got an 8.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
WOW, lol. That is hilarious.

Keep pushing. They are not allowed to do this. Tell them you'll send pics of the packages you received with receipt etc. There has to be a way of proving it.
[Nexus 4 General] imtiax:
If worst comes to worst call a Lawyer, you have solid proof in your hands.

Make a case and sue them, you'll get a few thousand bucks or so :P
[Nexus 4 General] hello00:
yeah, in 7 years :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
They are so vague I offered to send emails that clearly show the imei and the storage capacity but they weren't for having any of it. I've rang my credit card company and made them aware of it just in case. Really can't believe my luck fair enough on one device but two???
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
Give them another chance to explain the logical fallacies of claiming you are a liar when you have absolutely nothing to gain from doing so.

Otherwise i suggest you seek out whatever consumer protection bureau you may have in the UK.
[Nexus 4 General] mi7chy:
What does the part # say on the packaging, 8GB or 16GB? I remember instances where Nexus 7 16GB was incorrectly imaged so it showed less logical storage than physical. A proper reimage resolved that.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
It says 16gb on everything apart from the phone box and on the phone. On the invoice says 16gb the same as the tracking email and the confirmation email.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Small claims court is way quicker, and dirt cheap. OTOH just threatening is usually enough to get companies to cave.

That said, if they've offered to take them back and exchange for the correct product they've probably not broken any laws. Being complete assholes is not, currently, illegal.
[Nexus 4 General] imtiax:
Wait why Seven years? o.O
[Nexus 4 General] jacklebott:

[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Gee hopefully I don't receive an 8GB version for my 16GB
[Nexus 4 General] Psych0Chimp:
I'm in the same boat, ordered a 16GB and received an 8GB.

Rang customer services to get it sorted and have been waiting for an email from the elusive "specialist" for 2 days.

At least they haven't called me a liar... yet!
[Nexus 4 General] Bilhouse:
Hi mate.

I have been posting in the two main shipping threads, but basically the same happened to me but with only one phone. I ordered a 16GB and received an 8GB unit. I'm also in the UK.

Dealing with Googles customer service has been absolutely shocking. Most of the people I have spoken to sound high.

Let me know how you get on, and don't forget to get the names of who you speak to.

Like you they are telling me to wait 3 weeks. I would rather just get my money back but I might put in on eBay now.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
It's true that you would easily make up the difference on eBay or Craiglist.
[Nexus 4 General] the_cosworth:
If I were you I would make them take it back. Only way for google to verify. Even then though make sure the IMEI's match BEFORE they go back otherwise they will say you sent back other devices
[Nexus 4 General] bollywood69:
Ordered 2 x 8gb Nexus 4's b/c 16gb was sold out, got them in the mail yesterday but both were 16gb. Went back to check the charge on my card ($647.87). Putting one up for a profit on eBay.
[Nexus 4 General] imtiax:
Looks like googles back end messed up and they scanned a few boxes of 16GB's as 8GB's vice versa.

Which is why people are getting the wrong item.
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
You shouldn't have to though. This launch has been a disaster for Google, among its die hard fans anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
