[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
LOL OMG Get this guys.

So I got my Note 2's the other day and they came with the SIM card's not installed. Fresh packaged SIM card's in those little mini boxes wrapped in plastic.

So I set the Note 2's up on my dumby lines to activate them, then free them up by activating dumb phones over them so I can move them to my primary lines. Now obviously I need new SIM cards to do a line transfer so I went into a Verizon store to get the new SIM's and be done with the whole thing.

Well the guy who was helping me seemed to be struggling big time getting my battery cover off. I was like "you want me to do it? I'm comfortable with it" which SHOULD be queue to the guy "ok this customer wants to do it himself let him" but no he insisted to continue prying with all his might to pop it off. Finally gets it off, and rips the SIM card out of the mini card holder they come in. Now I'm watching him like a hawk at this point, so he motions to put the SIM in.... upside down. Yep gold contacts facing up. As soon as I saw him place it like that and go towards it I interrupted him "wait that's upside down!" He caught it in time and tried joking it off.

No offense to these guys in the store, but they're clueless. Here this guy is, handling my $700 piece of equipment like it's some kind of packaging material, just beating it around on the desk not giving two ****s about the screen or the frame, and then he goes and he doesn't even know which way to install a SIM. Come on.

Needless to say I was really offended, and once my phones were activated I walked out of there ASAP and have no intention of ever going into a Verizon store again. I refuse to let morons handle my devices who show no care whatsoever for them, and to top it off are untrained in how to properly work with them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I returned my N2 and the lady seemed pretty clueless. She had acrylic nails and I told her she should let me take it off. She said thanks. I never use my phone without a protector and case. I asked her if I could activate it at home, and she said OK.

Thought everything was good, went home and found out she gave me an early upgrade to do the exchange. Lost unlimited data and got stuck on a 2gb shared data plan. Called main customer service, they reversed everything. They are out $30 bucks for the exchange and I can still exchange it one more time if I want.

The rep I talked to was super nice though, he said he works in a different dept than customer service and kept making fun of his boss who had to put unlimited data back on my plan. Basically, they watch these accounts like a hawk... guy told me his boss will change it np after seeing that he is right and that he is wrong.

So pretty much yeah, make sure you are careful going into these stores. I saw a lady to the side of me buy a N2 for her husband and the guy was talking about 5g and the iPhone. He was basically down talking the N2 and trying to upsell the DNA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
when i went and purchased my gn2 from the verizon store, the sales rep was trying to sell a couple on a prorated voice/data plan. i over herd the rep say your bill will start at a 120.00 per line then drop 5.00 a month over the course of 6mo and level off at 90.00. then the rep said since unlimited data went away, they have only had 3 customers that use more than 2gb a month. i chimed in and said "well count me as number 4...i used 11gb of data last month", then i walked out. bunch of tools if imo...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdetroit:
The DNA is Verizon Exclusive, that's why they're trying to upsell it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Yeah, forgot to mention about the lady who was being upsold the DNA. The rep was telling her how much better the shared data plan was opposed to the unlimited one. I lol'd. She kept looking over at my N2 as I was exchanging it talking about a crappy speaker. She looked really scared, I wonder if this made her go to the DNA? haha.

obviously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SOTK:
How did you manage that? Just bought my GN2 from BestBuy on Friday and it cost me $300.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
If you bought the phone from Verizon Wireless, and it came with the SIM inserted incorrectly, then I would be harassing them non-stop until they replaced it. If you got it from a 3rd party retailer like that, complain to them until they replace it. The only reason you should have to go through Samsung is if you inserted the SIM incorrectly and broke it. Otherwise, whomever sold it to you is the one that should be taking the cost hit.

I have a Nexus 7 with JB 4.2 installed. Do you recommend I stick to the stock setup or get a launcher?

Thanks,

Jon
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
Try a launcher. You can run them both and then just keep the one you like. There are features inn a launcher that I couldn't live without like the ability to hide apps on the app drawer and define my own gestures for the home screen. For instance I have an up swipe set to bring up settings. A double tap the app drawer. I also have the home key set to hide the dock. I couldn't do any of these with the stock launcher.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMOttawa:
Personal choice, obviously... something like Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher will look almost the same as stock, but give you more flexibility.

I recently switched to Chameleon launcher on my tablet. It looks and behaves very differently, but once I got used to the change I really started liking the tablet look. In my opinion, it's very functional, and I like being able to switch between a home layout and a work layout.

I held off on buying when it was $10 but at $4 I took the plunge.

I get bored with these things fairly quickly, so who knows how long I will be high on it, but for now it's good.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
Depends on what you like

This is a question that nobody can answer except you.. But my experience with the Nexus or any tablet.. I hate the dock bar.. Especially how it goes to the side in landscape mode.. So i use Nova Prime and turn the Dock totally off... I also hate the Google search bar at the top of my home screen again with non stock launcher you can turn this off.

I guess my advice would be to try a few.. I would try .. Nova APEX and maybe go launcher.. Many like go because of all the add on for it.. But to me its kinda kid looking ...

Give some a try....

Good Luck

Any idea how to make the following phone's magnetic and orientation sensor working? Both of these sensors are not working on my phone (verified by many apps such as Z-deviceTest, AndroSensor and Android Sensor Box).

Various applications have shown that this phone has 5 sensors :

- yamaha530 Orientation Sensor : 0.25 mA by Aichi Steel

Same Problem With My Symphony Xplorer W71

I am fetching same problem with my W71 powered by mt6577 originally made by alps but rebranded by symphony in Bangladesh. I gave it to customer care to resolve the problem. Even they replaced the board still not working. I think it may be caused by either for firmware (ROM, Kernel) problem or the physical sensors are not present in the device.

More specifically the orientation sensor isn't a physical sensor, it is directly depended with the magnetic field sensor. So I think problem is only with the magnetic field sensor.

As they are all china devices, I am a bit doubtful about there hardware. But It may be fixed by upgrading firmware.

Is there any JellyBean 4.2 ROM working properly for mt6577?

I tried the memsicd on a non-rooted phone, compass doesn't work. :(

Can someone try running the memsicd on a rooted phone and check if compass/magnetic sensor is working or not ? also probably try using a different memsicd version provided you know how to do it. If it works I guess this would work for most phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] george_sh:
No, not only that. Memsicd is just a driver for a certain sensor made by Memsic. You should try running other magnetic sensor drivers like bmm050d, akmd8963, akmd8975, ami304d, bmm050d, memsicd3416x from the terminal window (under superUser), one by one. If any of them works it'll work until a reboot.

In case of Vowney V5 looks like it actually has a Memsic sensor, unlike declared by the manufacturer (Bosch BMM050). That's why the file Memsicd partially works. Try all of them if you have them in your root/system/bin/ folder.

Same on Star S7180

I have, as well, the same issue. I have a Star S7180 - chinese made Samsung Note 2 clone based on alps with MTK6577. Originally with the stock 4.1.1 ROM the accelerometer was working properly, but I kinda destroyed the ROM before I managed to get CWM installed and create a nandroid backup. So now I'm with a custom Lewa 4.1.2 ROM and I lost the original. Now the accelerometer is detected as "The Android Open Project bma222 3-axis Accelerometer v1 - 0.130mA" but does not work at all. I use a manual rotation app in the taskbar for the screen rotation and cannot use any apps that require that sensor. I still have not found a way to get it working but I think it's a driver issue. It seems that custom ROMS that were originally made for different phone and then ported for our chinese ones have wrong drivers for the sensor and thus with different roms the model of the sensor could be detected wrong as well. For example every application now detects my phone as Samsung GT-S7180 instead of the original Star S7180, before that I used a ROM from a ZTE device ported for mine and the model of my phone was detected as ZTE V960. I think if I find a stock ROM for this model and flash it through FlashTools the accelerometer will be working and afterwards I can flash a custom ROM only through CWM via a zip file. The FlashTools flashes over the original drivers with the ones in the custom rom while ClockWorkMod does not touch that part or the kernel. I think anyone who uses FlashTools with a custom ROM on these chinese devices will have the same or a similar issue with the sensors.

Will report if I manage to fix that. But anyone is welcome to try - we just need FlashTools with the original ROM (or at least a ROM with proper drivers).

Use it every time you flash a different ROM. Or search for the ARHD super wipe script in the arhd thread in the Dev section. The ARHD Suprr wipe script zip file does the same function when flashed from recovery.
