I'm still waiting for the 2nd batch but if I was you, I'll sell both on eBay!! You can get £400+ each so is enough profit to buy 3 of them later on... ;))) Otherwise you'll get stuck with just 8GB.... Can be difficult to sell them later on for decent money...
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Is anyone aware of how I chase this up further in the UK? They don't seem to want to play ball. So want to take it further. Never done anything like this before I don't like complqibing...normally leave it to the missus haha
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
As I suggested before, contact your credit card company and explain what has happened. They may dispute the charges through Google, its worth a try. I'm going through a similar problem with my car battery that CAA screwed up on. Now the guy who sold it and installed it is dicking me around. My next step is going to my credit card company to dispute the charges as I did not receive what I paid for.

Trading Standards - http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/advice/index.cfm

Small Claims - http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/engla..._e/law_taking_legal_action_e/small_claims.htm

There's also Moneyclaim - https://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk - but I don't think this quite fits with that.

You can get a huge distance by paying a solicitor for an hour to write a stroppy letter to google.

All of this (except Trading Standards advice) costs money, so it really depends on how far you want to push it..
[Nexus 4 General] moosery:
As a (small) retailer myself, I can tell you the best option really at this point is to send it back. You have seven days from receipt under the distance selling regs EVEN if they'd sent you the right phone, which they haven't, so you really do have both legs to stand on when it comes to sending it back for return.

The distance selling regs don't stipulate that you're not allowed to open or use the product, they do stipulate that you should return the product in saleable condition, ideally in original packaging.

If it were me? I'd open it, play around a bit with it until I got bored, then send it back, and go buy an SGSIII. :p

But seriously, send it back. WITH tracking.
[Nexus 4 General] Psych0Chimp:
Haha, it is comforting knowing that you're not the only that Google hates!

I didn't realise I'd received the wrong one until I'd opened the box and looked at the back of the phone.

So it's no longer sealed but that shouldn't be a problem because of the 13 day cooling-off period and the distance selling regs.

Apparently, my "specialist" is in the office tomorrow and will be emailing me then...
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
If you are annoyed by these kind of threads than dont read em and post on em. Its that simple.
[Nexus 4 General] Psych0Chimp:
Just an update for you: I'm being sent a "Warranty Replacement" device which should be the correct 16GB model, and be with me within a week!

Once it arrives, I'm supposed to send back my 8GB one.

Have you made any progress?
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
OK So Google have agreed to RMA the phones. They are going to send out replacements. My problem is my brother has dropped his phone and it has a scuff mark on the corner. Will they still get accepted for warranty?
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
For dropping the phone? Doubtful..

sent via xda premium with nexus 7
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Even if the dropping has nothing to do with the defect??
[Nexus 4 General] nyijedi:
As long as it's merely a cosmetic scuff I'm sure you'll be fine.
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
From what I have seen, it has scuff marks on the rubber bit and multiple scratches on the silver bezel?
[Nexus 4 General] george241312:
Lol Now YOUR the one in trouble :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] ricey1986:
Lol yeah, if they turn round and refuse it I am assuming they will charge me and resend me the phone??? If that is the case he can just flog it on eBay. :fingers-crossed:

Have you had confirmation about your delivery yet?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradaz:
This is my first Samsung device (and what a beauty). I'm well versed with Android but none of my apps are overriding the screen timeout settings and I cant fathom this out.

Its a particular problem for satnav/gps apps when I need the screen on. I've looked at different launchers, all sorts of settings such as the timeout itself, smart stay, motion control (in case any movement or lighting was affecting the sensors) but dont seem to be getting anywhere with it.

I know I could probably get an app to try and control this but ideally I'd like to fix it so I know what the problem is.....any ideas on where to look? Is there any specific setting that manages the app overrides?

Thanks in advance for any pointers
[Nexus Q General] ObsidianX:
So I've been playing around with the Nexus Q, trying to build custom ROMs for it, but ran into a bit of a snag last night when I flashed a new kernel and somehow lost xloader and uboot. Luckily for us Google was kind enough to leave a flag on in the hardware that boots up the device into diagnostic mode for 2 seconds prior to loading xloader (if it can). When you plug the device into your computer and then power it on you'll always see a new device pop up called "OMAP4440" very briefly. This is the serial console that the CPU sets up to allow flashing when the flasher (fastboot) is broken.

In order to use this emergency recovery mode you'll need to download the OMAPFlash application that can be found here: http://goo.gl/iRvRk

That package contains drivers for the OMAP4440 device (the driver is labeled OMAP 4460 when you install it) and installing it can be a bit tricky. Since you only have 2 seconds to install the driver you'll have to have the Device Manager open and ready to double click on the OMAP4440 device as soon as it pops up. From there you can click Update Driver and install it from the usb_drv_windows folder. The device will go offline while you're in the process but when you plug it back in again Windows should find the driver you just installed. NOTE: I had some problems with Windows trying to search Windows Update even after installing the driver and had to click on the cancel link in the driver installation dialog.

Now that you've got the driver installed we can use OMAPFlash to get the Q back into a working state. The package I linked to above contains definitions for the Galaxy Nexus (tuna) but just so happen to work on the Nexus Q. In a Command Prompt run the following command in the directory you extracted the files:

omapflash -v -t 60 -2 -p OMAP4460_TUNA_8G_HS_ENG fastboot

An explanation of the flags:

-v = Verbose

-t 60 = Timeout: 60 seconds

-2 = Upload and execute the 2nd boot ROM

-p OMAP4460_TUNA_8G_HS_ENG = Device configuration (8G = 1GB of RAM)

fastboot = Boot the device into fastboot mode

Run the command then plug in the device. OMAPFlash will see the device come online and send the 2nd boot ROM to boot it into fastboot mode. If everything goes well your Q will turn completely red and you'll now have a fastboot device plugged in to your system.

From here "fastboot flash" all the partitions to restore your device to its former glory (using the img files from the factory ZIP):

fastboot flash xloader xloader-phantasm-ian67k.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-phantasm-steelheadb4h0j.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

My lesson learned: don't flash the "boot" partition until you've tested it first with "fastboot boot boot.img"
[Nexus Q General] animal24:
Great work! Does this work with the gnex too?
[Nexus Q General] ObsidianX:
The instructions and OMAPFlash package were actually taken from a GNEX thread (the GNEX is nick-named "tuna" ;) )

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scotlarsen:
I have a rooted SII Skyrocket with ICS 4.0.4. Att is attempting to force a SW update... it downloads and then attempts to reboot and goes into the clockworkmod recovery mod. I select the "reboot" option and the install fails.

Any way to manually update the new SW so I can stop ATT from trying to update my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
You should probably post this in the Q&A section.

Sounds like the radio/baseband update. Flash the update yourself, or there may be a file you can rename to prevent OTA updates. I know there used to be an otacerts.zip file on my OG Droid and renaming that file would prevent any OTA updates. Not sure if it's the same here, though.

[HTC Sensation] arabi.theboss:
i know that this not the places for questions. but in many places it was posted. no one acted. so i think this is the best place for it. plz someone refer it to any dev...

although our sensation has front camera and 3g network chipset, why cant we just make 3g calls directly from out dial pad. although there are many softwares to make video call but all of them uses the 3g data system. "I AM SAYING TO MAKE CALL USING 3G DATA, I AM SAYING ABOUT MAKING 3G VIDEO CALL"

Moreover the galaxy s series supports the video calling. is it possible to port this feature to our sensation series as we have seen many features were ported from various phones to others.

Hope someone gets my points and make us proud by doing something in this case.

Thanx :silly:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
unfortunately HTC phones doesnt support 3G video calling ..i also searched for a fix/mod but found nothing ..thought going to CM9/CM10/AOSP roms will help the matter but didnt ..so ..you can just live with it :(
[HTC Sensation] arabi.theboss:
thanx for the reply. it seems that i have to help myself.....

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Smyc151:
I've had this phone for a little over three days now. Overall, I absolutely love it. The only smartphones I've ever owned were the Evo lines, so this was a big leap for me, and I'm not sorry. However, there are a few issues with it.

First is a strange antenna issue. I have the Sprint version of the Optimus G, updated and rooted. When the network mode is set to LTE/CDMA, the 3G antenna will only turn on very rarely, leaving me entirely without internet access. I was about to return in when I realized that the issue is solved when I change it to CDMA only. We don't have LTE in my area, so I don't mind leaving my LTE antenna off. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone alone, or if it's a software issue that others have.

Then there's the screen. The screen itself is BEAUTIFUL, and I have no issues with it. But the screen scratches like crazy! I am extremely careful with my phones, and this one in particular. I kinda bought it on impulse, so I didn't have time to order a screen protector for it (one should be in tomorrow though). So I have been treating it with extra, almost paranoid caution. It's only ever been in my pocket while at work (nice khakis, so nothing harsh), and otherwise it's been undisturbed on a table. I check my pocket for any abrasive lint often since there's no screen protector on it. But the screen has developed about a dozen or so scratches, and one of them deep enough to distort the screen when it's on. I don't know how this is happening (the deep one happened in the space of five minutes, inbetween two texts, and was merely put into and removed from my pocket.)

Also, the battery life is kinda crappy. I live near a tower, so always have full signal. At work I'm on wifi, so that's not an issue. The battery scarcely lasts through work, with VERY light usage, and is nearly dead by the time I get home. Today, from the time I woke up with it at 100% to the time I got to work (about 2 hours, with constant near-full signal), the phone dropped from 100% to 76%.

Are these normal issues, or am I the only one experiencing them? I want to love this phone so much, but these seem like serious flaws to me.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
I too had to change to CDMA so dont know what is wrong with that. And the scratches is weird ive dropped mine a few times and dropped my keys on the screen and nothing. And my battery is phenomenal. Seems like you have a dud.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JSchoey:
In regards to the screen....this may sound like a stupid question and I don't mean to offend, but did you remove the temp screen protector that it comes with? I've not had one issue with my screen being scratched and I can't say I've been all that good to it for the last week.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pjsnyc:
I've had the phone for a full week now and I have not experienced 3G drops with LTE/CDMA mode enabled. Also haven't scratched it either (thankfully). I constantly put it in and out of my jean pocket throughout the day, so I don't really understand how yours got to be that way.

As far as battery life, I too don't see the issues you're having. Typically I pull it off the charger at around 7AM and can easily get 12 hrs+ with normal usage. Even with Android OS taking up the bulk of my battery (seems to be awake a lot). Lot's of people saying its a battery drain bug, etc. etc. etc...but if I'm getting 12 hrs easily, and 24 hrs with light usage, I don't have a problem with that.

-Screen brightness at 60%

-Wifi on all the time (connected at home and at work - probably helps, lol)

-2 Gmail accounts pushed constantly, Facebook messenger, and a few other apps that auto-update on schedule (news readers n stuff)

-My commutes to and from work - I listen/watch podcasts and/or read. Which means the screen is on the entire time (approx a 1hr commute). All said, my screen-on time sits at around 3 hrs for me.

I'll post some screenshots in a minute...

[Sprint LG Optimus G] HelloDominick:
got this phone for sprint yesterday after having a BB for 5 years .. and i'm loving the beautiful screen,.

Only hiccups is maybe the battery... Yesteday i had it full on 100% then after 2 hours went down to 80%..

I'm currently in the office charging the phone to 100% will remove it and do normal routine on it and see how long it last.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Smyc151:
Haha, I actually checked for this before posting. It is absolutely something I'd do.

After reading these and other comments about the phone, I realized I probably had a dud. I went to the Sprint store a couple days ago and swapped it out for a new one, and it's running beautifully, with none of these issues. So I guess I just got a faulty one. Thanks all for responding!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JSchoey:
Good to hear! Sorry, I had to ask...my girlfriend had the same problem with her phone she got a couple months ago and it was because the temporary screen protector was still on the phone!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Colonel Travis:
Anyone finding it gets kinda hot? I've read some owners complaining about this and it was mentioned in some review somewhere. Wondering how widespread it might be. Might be that people keep all 4 cores running 24/7. I don't see the point if you're web surfing, talking, texting. I keep it on Eco Mode most the time.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Smyc151:
I've only notice it get warm once or twice, but even then it was barely noticeable. But I've had eco mode on since I got the phone, and it's not hesitated or stuttered once.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] tooter1:
We are thinking of switching to Sprint, so we went to Best Buy and picked up one of these phones and I'm very impressed with it so far.

Actually this is the second one because the first one had a factory defect in the chrome around the screen. It get home with the 2nd one and notice there is a speck of dust under the glass. :(

I'm going to return this one in a day or two and see if the third one is a charm. If not, I'm not getting a forth one!

Any suggestions on a different phone for Sprint if this one doesn't work out? To me the only other phone to get would be the Note 2 and then the GS3.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iibishop:
A little help here guys. I was planning to return mine because of battery problem. Like i tried playing Dead Trigger, current battery is 54%, 30 brightness, sync and data is off. I played for good 5 minutes and it dropped to 48%. One more test is after it got 100% full charged, i unplugged it, Wifi is on still 30% and not using it for a couple of minutes it dropped to 97% and im not even using it!

So i want to return it.

The question is:

Do i have to pay for replacement? I got mine at BestBuy for 99$ almost a month ago.

2nd is will still they accept it now it got scratch on four sides. Any suggestion?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] parham.derick:
As long as it hasn't been over 30 days and the phone doesn't look "abused" then you should be fine, also if it's been under 30 days i would add geeksquad protection especially if you plan on rooting, i thought it was a bad investment at first, then when talking to a tech after my evo4g bricked he just said to "make sure the device doesn't power on" and they will replace it needless to say i took a ballpeen hammer too it and got a shiny new one 2 days later.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] tooter1:
I took the LG back and got the GS3. I've already had to clear the cache on the galaxy because of excessive battery drain.

If the GS3 fails me, I'm gonna try the Note 2.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cassix:
Yep, on eco mode the battery is outstanding. The phones is faster than my wifes S3 on eco mode, and I get nearly 2 days without charging. I had the note II for a week and that is just as good but was too big for me. This phone impresses me everyday.

Remember Tap Studio 3, for the iDoor-stop? (iPhone)

Well I ultimately found this, the BEST music, tapping, rhythm based game ever made! Sadly though, after I made the switch to Android, I soon realized DropDStudios, doesn't support Androids...

I decided to throw DropDStudios some positive feedback on their game, and also suggest it would make a great addition to the Google Play store.

They promptly replied, in a nice manner and denied my suggestion to port their game to Android devices.

That made me a bit sad. But then I realized, if enough people could suggest porting Tap Studio 3 to our beloved Androids, well we would have a darned good Custom Rhythm Tapping Game!

Here is DropDStudio's webpage:

http://www.dropdstudios.com/

Please leave them a suggestion! ;)

And here is DropDStudio's Facebook page:

Hope people are as eager to see this for Androids, as I am.

In Google Now, if you ask it to "set a timer for 10 minutes" it will create an alarm for a time 10 minutes into the future. It would have been nice if Google made it utilize the new countdown timer in JB 4.2.

Any ideas if this could be done, or do I need to wait until the next Android release?
