[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KaoticEvil:
No, fastboot doesn't work either, I tried that as well... I was trying to get into recovery, I found another thread here that was an HTC phone, I think, with a similar issue. It gave steps for navigating CWM. I couldn't get the partitions to mount.

I think you're right, that there is something more wrong with it than the screenm, because in the Windows device manager, I could see 2 extra drives that were both listed as Samsung something (it's the next morning now), both with a size of 0 bytes. The strange thing is that the phone would boot. Completely boot. I had a friend message me on Fcebook, and the notification went off on my phone at the same time it did my loaner. (both of which were signed into my Facebook)...

Thanks for the tip, but this didn't work either.. I don't know what else I screwed up on this phone, but wow... lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
I'm sorry, could you repeat that? ;) ... so you're saying you're happy? LOL ... Hopefully you can get your discount extended in 6 months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tsnstuff:
I hate cell companies, they really don't know about customer loyalty. Most of them are so big that they don't care if they lose some customers. Hell not long ago I wanted verizon to help me out and give me an early upgrade on a phone (2 months early), the sales rep told me she couldn't help me. I told her I had 4 lines that I could cancel in March and asked if she would rather I cancel all those lines in march than give me a phone 2 months early. Her reply was "I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do". All of a sudden when I started asking about ETF fees they were able to give me my upgrade. I don't know why customers who have been with them for so many years have to go to those extremes in order for them to actually try and help.

What's even worse is the $30 upgrade fees. They are charging ME for the PRIVILEGE of allowing me to make another 2 year contract with them.

So far I've only used T-Mobile prepaid with the $30 plan so I can't really say I've had any bad experiences with them.

I also agree that if they give you a data LIMIT then it really shouldn't matter how you decide to use that data. Verizon finally got rid of the tethering fee when you have the family share everything plans (not that you aren't paying for it in the extremely expensive fees), I wish T-Mobile would also get rid of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Asquared:
I can feel you, man. I've been a customer since Powertel days, was on a Legacy plan with unlimited calls, texts and data for $75 per month, and included tethering on my old HD2. I recently upgraded to a Note 2, but I decided I wasn't going to take the party line on plans. I talked to five -- yes, five -- Loyalty Department reps, before I had apparantly ranted and raved enough to move up the food chain two levels worth of supervisors. Bottom line, I got a new plan with unlimited everything and a monthly discount that covers the "mobile hotspot" fee (the new name for tethering). No upgrade or shipping fees. And eligibility for the rebate on the device. So, I'm paying the same monthly amount as before I purchased the Note 2.

In other words, and though it's a real shame to have to do so, I would suggest that you keep calling until you get satisfaction.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajunflavoredbob:
Sorry, but it sounds like you feel entitled to something from the carrier which isn't covered by your contract with them. The early upgrade thing and your threatening to leave them isn't even close to what I'm going through. That's a problem you created for yourself.

Oh, I plan to call again about it.It's a shame that this is the "best they could do" for one of their reps lying to my face. That's what I'm most upset about. I shouldn't have to call them four times to get a resolution...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] predation:
I feel you man.

all the telco's lie to your face.

its ridiculous.

i've been in the same shoes as you. i always make sure NOTHING on my plan changes.

its stupid.

my contract is up in less than a month and i'm seriously looking into other avenues of services unless T-mobile

makes it worth my while to stay with them. Now that they are getting rid of classic plans, that exit looks more enticing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tsnstuff:
And you feel entitled to having them stick to a contract from years ago. Things change and I don't think there is anything wrong with a customer wanting some perks after being with a company for years. In my case, yes, I felt that allowing me to get an upgrade 2 months before I was supposed to wouldn't be a big deal, my phone was horrible. I wasn't threatening to cancel my accounts, I was ready to do it.

But whatever dude, good luck with your issue. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jyveafk:
Amount of times the rep has said something that I knew to be wrong and they kept trying to pass it off as legit. "Can I get that in writing please?" "ah, I'd have to check... oh, you WERE right after all"

yeah...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dasudevil:
I had the same issue at one point. I was using a MT4G at the time and needed an upgrade since the wifes 3G slide broke. We ended up getting a MT4G Slide (wife) and I grabbed the Amaze since i was a die hard HTC fan. After dealing with customer reps for 3 days straight in regards to color of the phone, tethering being turned off, flat out being lied to several times including the rep that fixed everything (pay attention and being nice helps) they ended up giving me two phones for FREE, lowering my bill by 60 bucks a month. Granted i no longer had the wifi but a quick root would fix that.

Sometimes dealing with the right person can get you things as long as your nice and you pay attention. Im going on 10 years with Tmo! I do say when you get the right person they make you feel special or make things as right as they can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajunflavoredbob:
A contract doesn't magically degrade over time. A contract is a ConTract. In your case it would be like signing up under the condition that you would get to upgrade every 2 years, and then all of a sudden, your second year comes up, but then you're told that you can no longer upgrade ever.

I said entitled because that's what it is, like it or not. Early upgrades are at the carrier*S discretion, not yours. You wanted an early upgrade and got indignant when they initially didn't allow it. That's what sparked my response. All I wanted was to get my situation off my chest. I did not want this to become a frivolous *****-fest about t-mobile or any carrier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stevekixs:
Here comes the wahmbulance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitchillen:
I don't mean to brag but wait until I post my wall of text about what happened with my upgrade a month ago. I have NEVER EVER EVER imagined it would end up like what I am going to post over the weekend. Be prepared ladies and gents, this will blow your mind as to how HORRIBLE T-mobile is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
Tmobile sucks

Sprint sucks

Att sucks

Straight talk sucks

Ect ect.

Expect crappyness and u wont he disapointed

As for the op, theirs a time limit to contest changes written into most cell contracts if ur past the time your contract has magicly degraded, if not, contact carrier and bbb and if no luck theyd prolly just offer contract droppage at no fee, idk. I hate contracts, I stick to prepay, it sucks too. But atleast if I have problims its nothin a new 10 dolla sim wont fix, new sim, new account, clean slate. Considering im up to about 65gb this month that matters to me.

Now that you have already flashed the wrong firmware.. Try the following..

If you have CWM... Flash any intended for your device.. Wipe data factory reset.. Try booting

If that is not working then..

Download the stock firmware.. Flash it using Odin.. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset... Then see if your device boots..

Thanks for your help! Could you tell me where I should put the embed function? Should I replace what you told me to replace with the other code?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfranchu:
First, you save the image as you do.

An then after the catch,

if you call

externalStorageFile.getPath();

you get the path where it has been saved.

You can do something like this:

String my_saved_image_data=externalStorageFile.getPath();
if(my_saved_image_data!=null)
{
ShareContent(my_saved_image_data);
}
return;
//ShareContent starts the activity.
// Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
//sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
//sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);
//sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.parse("file://" + externalStorageFile.getAbsolutePath()));
//context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent,
//context.getResources().getString(R.string.text_share_title)));
//TextActivity.this.finish();

I do have 2 more questions.

1) do you know how to change the background color to black?

2) is there a way to put a cover page when they open the app it has a picture first and then it goes to the actual app? If so could you help me figure it out?

Thanks again for all your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfranchu:
in yout layout R.layout.activity_text
add attributte to the linear o relative layout
android:background="@android:color/black"

Yes, create other main activity which only shows the image, and after a time launch this, use a timertask

//In A activity
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {
public void run() {
//here you can start your Activity B.
}
}, 10000);
// change 10000 miliseconds to the miliseconds time you desire

OK will do thanks ! If you had time could you maybe explain to me more doing the embed function part? I'm not sure If I'm doing it right.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elfranchu:
I´m not sure what you mean by embedding.

Just create an activity, an in its layout an imageview where you display le image.

Set it as launcher in manifest and don´t forget deleting this feature for the other activity.

Launch the activity( where you show the image), wait a time, launch new and finish.

I noticed that we don't have a safe app list posted on the Nexus 10 thread so I wanted to start one for those who would like to know what's safe and what's not. I have tested the device without the following apps for about a week now and I haven't experienced any problems or loss of performance. I am Stock Rooted. I haven't added anything other than how my device was shipped. Here are the list of apps I removed and froze with Titanium Backup Pro.

Removed

•	Bubbles 1.0 (a live wallpaper)

•	Currents 1.5.4

•	Earth 7.0.1

•	Face Unlock 4.2.1 (don't ever unlock my phone with this feature)

•	Google Korean Keyboard 0.83

•	Google Play Books 2.6.41

•	Google Play Magazines 1.1.2

•	Google Play Movies & TV 2.3.7 (I use MX)

•	Google+ 3.2.2

•	HTML Viewer 4.2.1 (been removing this since my Skyrocket times)

•	Live Wallpaper Picker 4.2.1 (If removed or freeze, you will not be able to choose live wallpapers)

•	Movie Studio 1.1

•	Picasa Uploader 1.3 (will remove the ability to upload photos through Picasa)

•	Quickoffice 5.7.2

•	TalkBack 3.2.0 (this has nothing to do with Google Now)

Again, this apps were first frozen and after a few days of heavy usage and no negative effects, I removed them. A week later, still going strong. Please feel free to contribute if you found any other apps that are safe to freeze or remove but only if you tested this heavily. Right now, this list is clean of trouble. I would like to keep it that way so we don't surprise our fellow brothers.

EDIT: I tried gta vice city with some ics roms and Remics-UX gave me the best overall performance and its very playable !!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Karim.younus:
I'm on Remics UX too and I had some fps issues in big games but when I switched to Apex Launcher all was well. Apex Launcher is smoother than the Touchwiz Launcher yet it uses less RAM so you get better performance. I also set number of background processes to 0 so more RAM there too.

There is also something called an Adrenaline Shot for any android device. This boosts the speed of the device.

Have you tried using Pocketcloud/another RDP app on the Nexus 7? I'm looking for a new tablet to replace an ipad 2 that I use heavily to remote back to my VPS while I'm out of the office. I'm concerned the Nexus 7's 16:9 ratio makes it difficult to remotely control a Win7 desktop. The ipad2's 4:3 ratio is not bad while using Pocketcloud; even with the soft keyboard up in landscape orientation, I still have enough vertical space to be able to access menus, buttons and programs on the VPS. Using it in portrait format is a bit better (in that the "clipped" screen space is almost 1:1) but doesnt give me much lateral space to work with.

I understand the Nexus 7 runs on a higher resolution (1280x800) so even the landscape format should have more "vertical space" than the iPad, but just wondering how y'all feel about this. Whats your mobile VPS platform of choice?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldcupsniper:
Not sure about office machines, but...

I use Splashtop for connecting to my machines at home. The need for connecting to my work machine hasn't arisen yet, so I cannot vouch for that case.

Honestly, the 1280x800 resolution is perfect for the Nexus 7 in this case. Both our home media server and my programming box run at that resolution, making it feel slightly small, but still big enough to be functional. I can imagine that things will feel "smashed" if the machine you are connecting to is set at a higher res.

Have not tried using a mouse or keyboard over the connection yet, only their touch-based controls. Their interface does have a slightly noticeable lag, which can be confusing when typing/programming remotely.

Food for thought.

Side Note: I also own and use Splashtop on the iPad (1st gen). Using it on the Nexus 7 feels far more natural, less forced.
