The RMA process with Google is very good. I had to send two Nexus 7s back and it was an easy process. The only issue I had was that I didn't receive a TNT shipping label with my first replacement so I actually had 3 devices for 2 days while I waited for the shipping label.
[Nexus 4 General] amdhunter:
Damn. I got the shipping labels before I even hung up. He said it would take up to a day, and it had me slightly worried...lol At least I have a phone I can beat the hell up with no regrets. Only thing that sucks is that I need to leave the phone stock for now. :(
[Nexus 4 General] mb3030:
i wouldn't go that far. If it has noticeable damage they will charge you for the device.
[Nexus 4 General] dnlsmy:
Exact opposite ;)

You need to return it in "good" condition (scratches are fine, but no cracks). Software wise, mess with it all you want, then

fastboot -w update "Devices Image from Google"
fastboot oem lock
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
I don't mean to be an ass but Google better get all those backordered phones out to us before sending out your (or anyone else's) RMA'd phones.

What about the much bigger blurry spot to the right of your circle? Closer to the right edge of the picture. That looks considerably worse to me.

[Nexus 4 General] Stryder5:
That is being just greedy. Anyone who paid for a brand-new working device deserves to have just that, a brand new PROPERLY working device. If they received one that is not the case, it should be rectified immediately. It would be absolutely terrible to charge a customer for a new phone, send something that doesn't work, then tell them to wait for backorders to clear before they fix your problem.
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
Eh, you are absolutely right. I'm just being bitter/angry. I still can't believe there are hundreds of us still waiting around for phones with no word from Google even though we ordered ours minutes after release and others, who ordered theirs hours after we did, have already received theirs as early as last Friday.

OP, I do hope they get your situation corrected ASAP.
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
Google would have most likely pulled aside a hundred or so N4s before even putting any up for order so they could send those out for RMA purposes. When the "second batch" shows up for all of the back orders, they will likely pull out enough to replace the ones they already sent out for RMA before shipping the back orders. While it kinda sucks for those of us who are back ordered, I would be more concerned if Google didn't do it, and people who did get phones had to be stuck with any defects.
[Nexus 4 General] norazi:
that is what we call karma
[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
As others have stated before, at least you're in a waiting list. The rest of us that got the shaft have to wait god knows how long to maybe get into a possible waiting game from scratch. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] amdhunter:
Hahaha, yea. I had everything already done, and returned it to stock when I called them. If a really decent ROM comes out, I'll probably go ahead and mess with it.
[Nexus 4 General] amdhunter:
That's just a product of my crappy iphone 4 camera. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ichibahn SLC:
Sorry about the rant.

I am currently running a rooted stock version and kernel of 4.2 and have been getting pretty bad battery life. By bad I do not mean horrible but I have to charge it every 20 or so hours with moderate use. When I was running stock 4.1.2 the phone would last about 1 1/2 days with the same use. So I remembered reading problems on the Nexus 4 forum with the battery not discharging below 3.5 volts or so. From the research I did it seems that is normal for the type of battery the Nexus 4 uses. So I decided that the next time my battery was low I would check to see what the voltage of the battery is according to the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Now usually I have noticed in the past that the battery voltage would be around 3.2 or so volts when the battery was at 4%. I checked the last time before I charged it and it said about 3.6 volts. So I decided to double check and cleared battery stats. Ran it another day that way and checked again at 4%. Same result. :confused:

I believe that ,for whatever reason, there was a screw up somewhere in the coding for 4.2 on the Galaxy Nexus. I can not be sure of this unless a few other people report the issue so people please post your voltages at 4%.

If a Dev would see this, investigate, and let all of us know if it's true or not then I think our problems would be solved. If this is a duplicate post I apologize and please delete it.

Thank you for reading this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
i have bad signal reception after flashing 4.2

maybe that's the explanation for me.

bad signal = draining battery, fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ichibahn SLC:
Could you check your voltage readings with that menu next time your phone is close to dead?

My signal is fine here. Speeds are faster then they used to be but ping seems slower
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DoesntPostAThing:
I have had better battery life on 4.1.2 as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
this.. i had great battery life on stock 4.2 with stock kernel

Everyone thinks there was a coding screw-up with 4.2 XD the problems are being worked on as we speak don't worry

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sbodyontheweb:
mine seems better on 4.2 but i was on CM10 before...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I run completely stock and battery life was horrible on 4.1.2. Much better on 4.2. Standby time has much improved and wifi reception has improved also :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thomstrack:
From what I read here, the staff had more problems lags did flash the rom AOSP 4.2.

I had done the flash AOSP 4.2 on top of 4.1.2 yakju, i had problems and of lags in transitions and everything.

So restored to stock 4.1.2 takju (wug nexus with root toolkit), I installed my apps again, I connected my bills, put my music and photos. Thereafter updated via OTA to 4.2 and now I do not see many lags or problems.

In short, it may seem strange, but upgrading to 4.1.2 via OTA to 4.2 I see almost nothing lags.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sparx639:
Yeah I got the same thing, other ROMs and factory images didn't work nearly as well as the ota package

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dancing-bass:
Interesting that you say wifi reception has improved. I find mine tends to drop wifi much easier then it did previously (stock 4.1, AOKP 4.1) both with stock baseband and with UGLA4 baseband. It seems to have stabilized slightly the past day or 2. Maybe on the weekend I'll re-wipe and re-flash to see if it improves anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djluis48:
I unplugged at 7:30am or something like, and it holded up to 12:57pm. The voltage was 3.6v @ 1%. 3hr screen on time. Here are the screenies.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpetruzz:
So I'm trying to use the toolkit to root my Nexus thats on 4.2. When I get to the step to install the drivers i get a message saying that there is an Android driver found and then nothing will install. I've gone through and manually uninstalled anything that resembles an android usb driver.

What the heck is the trick?? I do not have Android SDK installed but read that wasn't a requirement.

No matter what I'm trying I cannot get my phone recognized.

Suggestions??

Im looking for pretty much stock without the bloat,i dont like the nexus theme i keep seeing on alot of the roms and i would like for everything including voice to work. Basicly i want all stock features working, no bloat, some performance tweeks, and maybe a few cool new things since it seams att is taking for ever on there jelly bean.

If your phone boots to anything at all, there's still hope. Like emprize said, flash a stock ROM. Hopefully you made a backup before trying to flash the custom ROM.

Hellp guy,

i know the i9300 is the international verison and the t999 it a T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron version.

but what is really the difference in the software.

the i9300 version have a lot of realy nice roms and the t999 got only like 5 great rom.

it is possible to modify the i9300 rom to work in my t999 S3 ?

Thanks

sorry for my bad english

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
100% correct! This is why people brick their phones when flashing their roms. You just cant flash the whole system in the modems place!

Again! Correct!

I think they also have different audio hw and I think their gps is on SoC while ours uses a separate chip.

Dont quote me on that though!

[Acer Iconia A500] slayinu:
Please, me too. I just bought mine too and is rooted, but my cell phones were much easier than the tablets. Either that or I just don't have the patients anymore. Maybe a dummies way to install custom rooms on a500? Lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] slayinu:
Wow, a lot of stuff to do just to flash a from huh. Lol
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Lol, as always preparation determines the success of the final outcome....and yeah with the tab 95% of yr time and energy is spent preparing!!! The actual flashing process takes only a few minutes...

Of course u could revert to hc 3.1 where everything is 'normal' i.e. one click root, flash cwm, flash rom, done....

Gosh, even hc 3.2 was locked down and unrootable....

So in the grand scheme for us to even be able to have stable ICS roms, let alone cm10 on the a50x.is.purely down to those wonderfully clever devs we have here..who were never gonna let a.locked bl, get in their way..

OK its complex I'll admit, but stock ICS is c**p and the lives of our tabs extended past wot Acer ever thought....and guys like gersma and.blackthund3r have built auto tools to make things easier

Anyways, its.well worth the

effort and is actually alot simpler to do than it is to describe how to do it:)...think of.trying to explain how to ride a bike and writing all those steps out....much easier to help them thru it by just getting them on the darn thing and doing it....dontcha think??
[Acer Iconia A500] slayinu:
Yeah, I hear ya loud and clear. I wouldn't mind goin back to stock 3.1 , I kinda liked the hc. Ohwell

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Well, I could give u a a d/l link for 3.1 if u really do wanna go back....but I think gersma's afterOTA tool can do it too, tho I've Neva used it for that so can't really comment....

Oh, one other thing, you'll wanna back up all yr personal stuff, music, photo's and wot not especially going from one build to another, and most of the custom ROMs require a complete wipe and format of yr data partition too before install, just so u know!!
[Acer Iconia A500] slayinu:
Yeah ,I'll take the link, I liked it better than 4.0.3 is it an original , or a rooted
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
its factory stock but easy to root and get cwm installed, will have to w8 till i get home 2nyt to upload....

oh there myt be one in blackthund3rs stock rom thread in dev forum...i think:)
[Acer Iconia A500] artbybart:
wow dibb, thank you so much for a helpful response!! Really enlightened me about how far off I was about the update process (compared to updating phones) and yet close enough to what I had to go thru for the Viewsonic GTab.

I'm currently on stock 4.0.3 rooted for A500. I have obtained my cpuid and SBK. When I go to recovery mode, I see a droid with triangle and exclamation mark. I tried flashing twrp but I still saw the same droid. I now know that I need to flash a different bootloader with recovery included.

My question is that if I flash the new bootloader which will allow me to put a custom recovery, during that process will my current ROM be removed or wiped out? If so, what do you recommend for backing up the app in the current stock ROM? Titanium Backup? BTW, I don't have an external SD card; all I'm using is the internal 8GB

Thank you for your help!!
[Acer Iconia A500] slayinu:
def need external SD , it will help out alot
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Yes u need the v8 bootloader to get a recovery installed...

Always check the original post of the rom you install for special instructions regarding bootloaders.....this applies to all custom Roms even stock pre rooted ones.

Yup TB to back up yr apps and data - dont restore immediately...make sure everything is stable first.

If u dont have an ext. SD card, the EUU method doesn't require one, and as slayinu said, it would make it easier if u had one especially for the update.zip methid
[Acer Iconia A500] famousnerd1:
Im sorry...

I have the a500 running ota 4.0.3....well from the official app. I have it rooted and running superuser yet I downloaded the Acer recovery installer app from the market and get the recovery verified failed message when booting into any custom recovery and the dead android with the exclamation mark....I know I need a patched or an unlocked boot loader but I cannot find one I downloaded the afterota but it doesn't do anything on my computer...idk what to do the frustration is gonna make me break this thing and just go buy a newer tab running jb ....help please!:eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Seems weird afterota "doesn't do anything"...did you install the drivers?? Did it give u yr cpuid/sbk you cannot do anything without this AND if u muck things up its the only thing that will get u unbricked? Are u using a micro USB cable? Do u have USB debug enabled?

If u go to the root guide in my sig you'll find d.load links and all the guides to help u install the v8....take special note of the boot.p file u need to rename or delete in /system....

For more info on getting yr cpuid/sbk see the cpuid guide in my SIG or the sticky in dev forum...
[Acer Iconia A500] famousnerd1:
obviously..

I'm too dumb to figure this out...idk how to get my cpuid none of the ways in your "where's my cpuid"guide worked.I don't want to stay stuck on ota 4.0.3 but apparently I have to..thanks for your time and your advice,unfortunately I wasn't able to use it properly.:(
[Acer Iconia A500] voodoo441:
Well, it seems it's not just you being dumb ... :)

I tried the same - original OTA 4.0.3 and rooted my A500. Now tried to use the 'AfterOTA'-Tools, but getting stuck in step 3 of 4 (maybe i just need to insert a SD-Card in the Tab?).

Just got no idea, what to do now - the only thing i know is: before flashing, i need a open bootloader, but i've got no idea how to do that. The Guide linked in this posts: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425 is just confusing me more and more :(

After a reading a few times, it seems to me, that MY next step should be:

"Automated flashing tool" (STEP 5= Going into APX mode see Q&A or use A500 manager)

Is it correct, that THIS will help me to patch/open the bootloader?

Or do i just have to follow this as a next step to create a patched bootloader:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25891744&postcount=44 ?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Hi voodoo, no, neither of you are being dumb!!! It CAN be a complicated procedure, we try to make our guides 'simple' but theres ALOT that can go wrong

Yes the last link you posted will flash the patched bootloader!!!

- but basically this is what SHOULD happen:)

Note: The only way to get a custom ICS rom on your tab is with the v8 bootloader by skrilx_cz. This must be flashed via nvFlash/apx mode.

Note:The only way to install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp etc is with v8 bootloader.

Note: You cannot use Acer Recovery Installer unless you have the v8 installed.

Note: Rom Manager does not support our Acer Tabs...please don't use it to flash 'anything'!!

OK heres an overall view of the process:

1. Install Acer and adb/fastboot drivers

2. Retrieve your CPUID...

3. ...and use it to generate your SBK

4. Download your ICS or JB rom and copy to your sd card (internal or external)

5. Enter apx mode to begin the flash!!! or use apxFlash tool

5. Use balckthund3rs apxFlash tool and follow the instructions: hint: dump and save your bct!!!

5. If using civato's manual nvFlash method - Put your tab in apx mode and run the .bat file

5. AfterOTA Tool is only for those tabs which have OTA'ed to ICS!!!

The main issues you will have with the actual flashing process itself is a partitioning error or a bct error - and both of these are easily fixed...UNLESS your tab in one of the few with a hardware fault which only a new motherboard can remedy

Once you get the big white "PASS" on your tab, boot straight to your new custom recovery, do the FULL WIPES and flash your new rom....DONE!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] voodoo441:
Well ... i now used AfterOTA - but not in a virtual machine - now just natively installed on my macbook via bootcamp (windows). Worked. I now have a V8-Bootloader (the tab shows me this when iam booting it up).

Whats the next step to flash a new ROM? Iam ready to do that? Or is there any other step needed by now?

Regards, Tom

Edit:

I now just tried flashing a custom rom - so i copied the *.zip to my USB-Stick (FAT32) - because i read, i can use an USB-Stick as an micro-sd card.

Tried booting into recovery-kernel - worked for me, but the only thing i can see: a lying android with an red sign ("!").

Did i something wrong?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Oh dear....if u had a stock rom on there then its overwritten

your newly flashed recovery....you need to delete or rename

the "boot.p file" in /system..then reflash the v8...

The very next step should be to enter recovery and flash your

desired rom....
