[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] swan3983:
Yeah, this is essentially what has happened to me. I upgraded from a classic to a value plan, and upgraded my phone, since I was due for an upgrade. I suppose I didn't exactly understand all the paperwork about moving from an individual plan to a value plan. :confused:

So yeah, I'll be getting the down payment back from the rebate, and once the rest of the phone is paid off (which can be done before the 20 months is up, if you choose to pay it off early), my bill will drop by $20 a month, which will be $20 less than what I was paying on the individual plan. Oh well, I'm enjoying my new Galaxy S3 too much to return it and go back to the individual plan!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kettlecorn:
I got 4 of these phones no friday but my parents don't want theirs. Does anyone know if I can resell it (classic plan, not value) and still get the mail in rebate? On the rebate form it says that it requires me to make at least 1 call from the handset but a CSR told me the rebate center will check to see if the phone is actually being used at the time of rebate processing or it will be denied. Anyone have problems getting their rebates when they resold their phone?

Target $79 upgrade here in Cali
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
The rebate system is very specific. You are held to the terms that were decided when you purchased the phones. If they verify that the phones are not bei ng used or a data feature was changed to a non qualifying feature they will NOT process the rebate. Mind you it can take 6-8 weeks or more to get it. BY that time you are way beyond any return window . So if you sell it or drop the data features for those phones you are put of luck. Call a rep . For more info. If they do t want it return it.

What if i changed/update my number on d rebate form? Coz I requested to use my old number and the tmobile rep put the new sim # on the form

Put them in ziplock bags and pack them in petroleum jelly in the freezer until 12-21-12. After the zombiepocalypse they'll be worth their weight in...welll....plastic and a little bit of Si and Au, but Woody Harrelson will surely give you a box of twinkies for them, and not just any box twinkies, but the last box of twinkies in the entire universe.

Seriously though, be aware that Tmo reps have stated publicly this is against their policy (I'm sure you can find the fine print), and some dude was even cancelled service altogether for a much more complicated, but effectively similar action involving craigslist. I'd follow rebate terms to the "T"(mo) for sure before selling....and by then you probably would arguably not be selling "for profit" so should not be violating their terms. Or hey, they were free, pack them in petroleum jelly and cancel your insurance plan because now you have backups. Unless you want twinkies in advance of the coming apocalypse in which case PM me and we can work out a deal, I reload my own twinkies and have ammo boxes full of them for trade.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V0odo0:
Hello All,

its a bit confusing for me. many threads describe that we should "Factory reset" the device before flashing a new ROM. what does it mean ? when i did factory reset my original stock ROM it deleted all my data and brought me an "out of box" phone. now when i have rooted my phone and flashed couple of roms, i just wiped cache and dalvik cache bla bla ... and of course my previous data was there..

actually what i want to do is ... i want to install a stock 4.2 and i don't want any previous data on my phone .. can it be possible ??

A little advice would be grateful ... :) ... thanks in advance ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilu73224:
Hi,

Have you ever used the factory image that Google released to flash your phone?

takju has 4.2 factory image now.

You can download it, extract it, connect your galaxy nexus with fastboot mode to pc. Just double click flash_all.bat in the extracted folder if you are using windows.

"fastboot -w" will erase all user data. (include sdcard partition... remember to backup your file in the sdcard before you run this command)

The last fastboot command of flash_all.bat has the "-w" parameter. It'll clean all user data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nukeman239:
Why not use TWP, instead of CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V0odo0:
yes i did flashed factory image of 4.1 .. before rooting my phone .. so unlocking bootloader did work for me that time ... i appreciate for what you have guided me to .. but what if i want to use 4.2 roms .. not stock image using fastboot .. and if i use fastboot to erase all things ... will i have to flash recovery again too .. ? :)

Sorry if it sound dumb .. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V0odo0:
Does TWRP have an option to factory reset .. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
They both do and in the context of a custom recovery they wipe data and cache, your sdcard is untouched in this factory reset

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
go in the dev section download the 4.2 factory image zip.. then in cwm or twrp

wipe data

wipe system

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

flash the factory image

reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waveboy:
As far as I know all custom Recovery's leave your sd card untouched so unless u flash a factory image or relock/unlock or bootloader there's no way to reset to a factory state. Another method is to flash just the stock recovery using fast boot then factory reset using that then flash cwm again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] le_prof:
@k786: Flash the factory image? Thought it could only be done through fastboot. Is there something I missed, like making a zip file with a factory image? If so, how? Tnx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rft183:
What people mean when they say to do a factory reset before flashing is to choose that option in your recovery. It removes your previously installed apps and configurations so that you are starting from a known configuration. They are not telling you to restore the factory rom for an "out of the box" configuration.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V0odo0:
Okie .. i got that ... i use to wipe cache and dalvik .. etc... and its called factory resetting when flashing a rom ..

But what if i want to delete the contents on my phone's storage .. particularly in sd card folder .. obviously nexus has no physical sd card to format .. and it cant be mounted either to copy a flashable zip like i used to do with my wildfire ..

One option above was locking and unlocking boot loader again .. will it work now after rooting and custom recovery and custom rom .. ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waveboy:
As I said flash stock recovery. It will reset everything

So Sony has decided not to give us Jelly Bean but they said they will continue to give us maintenance update for ICS. And it has been a while since the last .587, do you think they will release another update for our phone? For me even if they don't give us JB I will be happy if they continue to release bugfix and stability improvement update to perfect ICS. Let's hope our phone's life cycle won't end so soon.

How can you prefer something that you didn't even tried?! (Here i'm not talking about CM10,but about Sony customized JB). And no,ICS don't sucks,but you need to uninstall some crap apps which are eating ram and processor power,and then you'll get a very smooth ICS.

look:

Sony Mobile has this morning confirmed that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its new Xperia devices (Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V) will start to receive the update from the middle of Q1 2013. Sony Xperia devices that launched earlier this year including the Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J will be upgraded to Android 4.1 in “due course”. Looks like Xperia miro, Xperia tipo, Xperia tipo dual, Xperia sola and Xperia U users are excluded.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
Man,Samsung,Sony,Motorola,Microsoft,Apple or any other company you want don't care about customer satisfaction...They care only about making money,and how can they make money,if they don't make you to buy their newest devices? This is not about customer satisfaction,it is about marketing strategy,where,unfortunately Sony has very weak employees.

Whenever I try to download a rom or anything from the web, it crashes and I get download unsuccessful. I am currently running CM10 beta 4 which I had to transfer from computer as I could not download directly. I think it may be due to the partitioning of my internal memory. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I doubt it has anything to do with your partitioning. What browser are you using to download? Have you tried GooManager or the new CMUpdater built into CM? And is it for everything you try to download or just ROMs?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n3cr0tic:
I had a similar issue, Couldn't download anything, couldn't install any app that needed to go on the sd card, couldn't download cyanogen updates. running 'fix permissions' wouldn't work through cwm or in recovery.

I ended up pulling off all the important data on my sd card and formating it with SDFormatter and doing a factory reset on my nook.

everything works fine now. my card was a card that had been used in android device previously, perhaps there were folders/permissions on some things that was horking it up. idk, but I'm running the latest nightly now and everything works great.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The problem is the CM10 is very finicky about the format of the card. If it does not like it, it mounts it read only. And using SDFormatter usually fixes it.

Hi,

today I've installed the rom by title, but I have a little problem: when I try to put on any window some widgets (like music widget, or the widget for the energy control, which is very important for me cause I need to activate/disactivate 3g connession many times every day) it says me that there's no enough space for them, but the window is empty! Could be a little bug?

It is not the problem of the ROM. It is because the launcher has less grids. You can use another launcher to add widgets

If you're using the Xperia Home, you just need to disable the icon names of the dock bar. Your screen will get bigger and you'll be able to add widgets. I had the same problem, that is how I solved it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
For the love of life, I haven't been able to figure out. I'm currently on 4.2 but this happens on 4.1.x as well. It's a little long so bear with me.

I've attached the last kmsg file, and all it tells me is that the MPU clock was reset with an error code.

I've tried many kernels - and so far, I can only trace it down to the presence of Smart Reflex - since it happens on the stock kernel (and the stock kernel also has Smart Reflex enabled). Disabling it via Trickster Mod doesn't have an effect - however, if I use the non-Smart Reflex kernel built by Faux123, my phone's fine (it doesn't reboot randomly - but there's another problem - read on).

What happens is that the phone, in its normal mode of operations, would automatically freeze (if it's playing music, it'll begin sound like there's a computer glitch and repeat that second in the song for several seconds) and just before turning off, the screen would turn to full brightness for a split second, then hard-reboot (with the Google logo showing - and a vibration from the phone).

This reboot/hanging/glitch sequence does NOT happen with the kernel without Smart Reflex by Faux (I don't know of any other kernel without Smart Reflex enabled). I could use Faux's kernel - but custom kernels used in 4.2 don't deep-sleep, so I had to revert back to the stock kernel

The other glitch that seems to happen is that my screen's display would black out for a second, then come back. In the black out, the nav keys disappear as well. Apparently, the entire screen turns off because I can tell in a dark room. This happens on custom kernels as well.

Strangely, these issues began to appear AFTER I sent it for warranty (the USB jack went kapoot and the phone would indicate it's charging - but wasn't; the repair guys soldiered the USB port correctly and the USB problem was fixed; however, these two problems surfaced like a few weeks after that).

I don't overclock or underclock. I don't change the governor or scheduler or whatever. Everything else functions well. I've even performed a factory reset - and even reflashed using fastboot as well as ODIN. For the love of life, I CAN'T FIGURE THIS FLIPPING THING OUT!!

Now - the question is - why is Smart Reflex being an ass?

(Paste Bin doesn't work in Pakistan - the idiots have blocked it for no reason... didn't work before the Youtube ban, and well - nothing's been working fine after the ban...)

For convenience, the last few lines of the kmsg file state the following:

0 Corrected bytes, 2 unrecoverable blocks

Boot info:

Last reset was MPU Watchdog Timer reset (PRM_RSTST=0x8)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brando56894:
I bought a nexus off of eBay about two weeks ago and I've been having problems with smartreflex too: it won't stay off after a reboot and the frequencies stay in the normal range even though I'm using an OC kernel. This happens in trickster mod and trinity kernel toolbox and I can't seem to figure it out either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UserNamer:
When I am on a call and plug earphones into the jack (after already being connected and speaking with the other person), the Note 2 recognizes the earphones are plugged in, but the other caller can no longer hear me, even after a few seconds; however, if I plug the headset in, and THEN either answer or initiate a call, they work fine. I am using the earphones that came with my Captivate back in 2010. The key seems to be having the earphones plugged in before a call is connected, otherwise they don't work.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Answer or initiate a call. Talk to the other person to make sure everything is working.

2. Plug earphones into the jack, while your call is already connected and working. Note 2 should recognize the earphones are in and pop up the Page Buddy if it's enabled.

3. The other person can no longer hear me, even after waiting 5-10 seconds.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] astang99:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:

I can't imagine that "plugging earbuds in while in a current call results in other party not being able to hear you" is designed behavior. It may be a "normal occurrence", but that doesn't mean it's not a bug. =)

Thanks in advance!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yossarian33:
It's fine, just feels phone-size to me now. I have big hands, though. This phone fits better in my hands than the Galaxy S3 fits in my girlfriends hands. The Galaxy S3 feels puny to me now. I can reach 90% of the screen without changing my grip.

In some pants with shallow pockets, crouching is impaired slightly, but while walking it fits fine, and you can swap it to the back pocket if you want. I wouldn't be worried about carrying it, though. That's a minor issue compared to using it. As long as you can use it fine, you'll be happy, so go into a store and try it out.

Well, it's more portable than the original Note since it's slimmer, so I'm not sure what "too big" quantifies as. I've owned both and had no problems carrying either. The Note I was wider and the Note II is longer. I still manage with relative ease.
