[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
Just thinking, I'm not too worried about defects, Google will replace it for that. But reading about the nexus 4s slickness, and people dropping them makes me realize stuff happens. This is why I have insurance on my at&t account, but obviously that isn't going to mean much with a non at&t phone. Any third party companies that offer it?

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalipedia:
Squaretrade is ridiculously overpriced given the cost of the n4 and the deductible they charge. Plus they offer cheaper coverage for iPhones which is irritating. Not recommended. If others have found reasonable insurance, I'd be interested.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
$125 for two years with a $99 deductible?

My current plan through T-mobile is $6 a month with a $130 decuctible. What are you used to paying?

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
I think it's crap that I can't just pay $30 from square trade for a service plan with accidental coverage. Oh it's a phone. That means you need insurance and not a service plan. Who decides this crap? I got a service plan from square trade when I bought my HTC Flyer and it was $30, and what is a flyer? An oversized Desire HD!

I remember you used to be able to buy a service plan from best buy for a phone if you bought it from them, and now they have bend over and spread em insurance too! Really who decides this crap? Cell phones are pretty much in a class of their own with consumer electronics.

I guess I'll just go insurance free
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalipedia:
Both plans are outrageous given the cost of the Nexus 4.

I'm with you. Unless squaretrade recognizes their ridiculousness and adjusts their pricing plans accordingly. I'll not be holding my breath.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
bumping this in hopes that it gets some action.

i think i am going to get squaretrade before my 30 days are up. one of the things i like is you can cancel at any time and be refunded the rest of your money. or cancel and stop paying your seven bucks a month. you can also transfer it with the phone if you sell it and want to use the insurance as a perk.

has anyone else found anything better?

i just noted in a previous post that my phone just dropped 18" onto a rug with the bumper on and now my glass creaks. its only a matter of time i feel before something worse happens. and who knows... maybe google and lg will start building these things a bit better and with insurance we can swap it out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
I just think it's crap I can get a square trade warranty on a tablet for $30 that doesn't have a monthly fee and offers the exact same coverage but because the device is deemed small enough to be a phone I gotta pay a monthly fee
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
i completely agree. i wish some hardware replacements would start hitting the market. if i could price out the replacement parts i could weight out the pricing better. but i dont want to go past my 30 days and be forced into buying the parts from the internet when they could very well be pricier.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootdisk:
Check the threads were people have sent their phones back for repair. I'd rather save my money then send it back to LG for repair, if there is something that needs repair. One post I read said it was going to cost $140 to repair the cracked glass. Another one was $153. So paying someone $125 for 2 years and $99 deductible seems like its not worth it. The cost for a one time repair would have to exceed $224 to make it worth it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BruceCLin:
This is what I got. Square trade $79.99 for 2 years and a $50 deductible.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008I668NG/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
That would be worth it but are you sure it covers phones?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danguyf:
I agree. Paying $125 on the chance that I break it and then have to pay another $99, for a total of $224, on a phone I bought for $300, doesn't seem quite worth it.

Of course, that's if it only breaks once. My wife is murder on phones, so figure that she breaks hers, say, three times in two years and that's $125 + $99 x 3 = $422. But then, if LG will repair it for about $150, then those three times only cost me $450, so the difference is still pretty negligible.

I'm going to get us both the Ballistic cases when they are released in a few weeks and hope for the best.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pheno.menon:
I got Square Trade. They are having a 35% off sale until December 26th. :thumbup:

Transmission sent from my badass Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MkVsTheWorld:
I've had mixed experiences with Squaretrade. My biggest complaint is that they send your device to a repair depot that can take over a week to fix. In addition, if the repairs exceed the cost of the phone, they keep it.

Also, the last time I used them, they wanted my SIM card (I was having SIM identification problems). I personally refuse to send an active SIM card through the mail. They said that all of their customers are fine with it?

Anyways, I personally don't think it's cost effective to buy insurance for a cell phone at $299-$349. Just keep money aside if it breaks or is lost/stolen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietro_spina:
I'd like to know if any one has used these guys.

http://www.worthavegroup.com/cell-phone-insurance

on paper it seems like a good deal and good coverage... but I'd like to hear some stories about claims being a hassle or not.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberSlackr:
I'm content with using SquareTrade as an "Insurance" for my Nexus 4.

SquareTrade: $125+$99=$224 (They even cover shipping)

Buying New Replacement: $349+Shipping

Plus with buying new, you have to take into consideration that the Nexus 4 is nearly impossible to get right now.

So you could be stuck without a phone for months, where with SquareTrade you get one quickly.

And "Part Replacement" is pointless IMO. You might crack the screen, spend $150 for a new screen. But what if you do more damage than just the screen.. more parts to buy

But that's just me. Plus if the phone is not repairable. They give you the full retail cost of the phone at time of purchase.

$79 Plan from SquareTrade the Indian guy from the SquareTrade Customer Service said the Nexus 4 is covered under this plan.

Or $99 Plan from SquareTrade will cover it too, (in case you don't want to take the chance that the $79 plan does not cover it.)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Core2idiot:
I was working on porting Android 4.2 and flashed my work. Unfortunately it didn't boot. I am currently using this version of CWM recovery. I had another kernel sitting on my internal SD to flash. Unfortunately in an attempt to get it to boot I wiped /data, which includes the internal SD. My recovery doesn't appear to read external storage. Another unfortunate thing is that usb connection hasn't worked in quite a long time. It doesn't show up under lsusb, no matter what mode I have the tablet in. All I have access to is that version of CWM recovery.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks for reading.

[QUOTE="samo_gf, post: 35500049, member: 4551639"]i just bought a new battery it's the same but i have doubts,

I recently bought samsung battery for galaxy fit FROM A SAMSUNG MOBILE SERVICE CENTRE..:) it costs rs.600 and its 100% original.. It comes in a transparent plastic box manufactured in korea(so the battery's basically made in korea)....

Batteries sold by other than samsung mobile care or sevice center is fake and cheap i.e. made in CHINA.....

orginally with your phone battery is also made in china but it wont last long...

SAMSUNG SEVICE CENTER hv original:angel: made in korea batteries across INDIA...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] samo_gf:
yeah so my battery is Fake :D no problem it's better that the one that i got with the device, as it lasts longer approximately 1 day with medium use of wifi and screen on time, i may not find the korean one easily nowadays :D maybe after the one i have start swelling like the old one :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] mni ANKIT:
Samsung batteries

True the original ones that come with the mobile are underperformer... they drain easily...i hv to recharge 2-3 times a day!

now the one i bought retains longer no to minimal use 20 hours

minimal to medium use ~10 hours

medium to heavy use max 6-7 hours :D

internet drains it faster...there is no solution yet....

i once tried micromax's 1800 mah battery it was fun using net , messaging, playing games,... it didn't fit in g-fit..

for better battery life charge it in cycles( A complete cycle means from 100% to 0%)

and try to charge it by keeping ur mobile in off condition( takes 4 hours max to charge 100%)

ITS A GOOD PRACTICE( but if u cant then dont run any app while charging);)

My player is still dead, and I noticed this new feature of Kies. Others have gotten the "Firmware Update and Initialization" working with the SGS3's and such, I tried it on my player by entering the model name as "YP-G70" and the serial number as it's listed on the box.

I'm in download mode via unbrickable resurrector, and when I try it in kies it comes back with "The model information you have entered cannot be verified; the device initialization cannot proceed." I also tried "YP-G70CWY/XAA" as shown on the box and it still doesn't work. I'm sure I have the serial number correct, maybe Samsung decided not to support these via that kies feature??

Has anyone gotten this to work? :mad:

If your in download mode just use Odin or Heimdall to flash a stock ROM, not sure whats out there for the 5.0 as I have the 4.0, Keis is a junk virtually useless app, and in a YEAR of ownership and an uncountable number of ROM flashes via Odin, Heimdall and CWM zips I have never once considered using Keis for anything.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oppis300:
I am currently on stock ICS with unlocked bootloader and rooted. I have flashed CWM 6 onto my Galaxy S3 (535) multiple times followed many tutorials and videos but every time my device boots back into Android System Recovery 3e - I have even disabled Auto-Reboot while in ODIN and have pulled battery after PASS! (as suggested in other tutorials) but it will only boot into CWM Recovery on the 1st reboot. The next time the device restarts it goes back into Android Recovery. I am able to boot into CWM if using Rom Manager and select reboot in recovery. In searching while trying to get a resolution, this seems to fairly common problem. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to get my device to CWM Recovery vs. Android System Recovery. It is driving me nuts and I have spent hours trying to figure it out - any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

2 questions

1) When I use goomanager and search for compatible roms, why does it show no roms were found? Im using stock everything, rooted.

2) TiBu, when i back up all apps and system data, it hangs on "com.android.sharedstoragebackup" Does anyone know whats wrong with this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Don't back up the system stuff. Only cause problems when you try to restore it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cwhitney24:
As Mike said, stay away from backing up or restoring any system stuff.

As far as Goo...stay away as well even if it did show anything lol. Its best to come here to the xda Threads so that you can read about the current rom releases and updates. Also the Devs can add notes here better than they can on Goo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
Thanks for both replies.

I will listen to both of u.

but just for knowledge sake.

1) Why doesnt it show any roms on Goo

2) so most poeple would not back up system data? What is that anyways?

I did a full twrp backup, that should include everything, TiBu's benefit is having the option to restore certain items. Would any of those include system data?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
A nandroid takes a full "portrait"of your system. TiBu only restores individual component s of your system

If you back up system info from say ics and then restore it to jb, it won't work out well. The framework is different
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cwhitney24:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
The issue isn't really a matter of using it to flash ROMs - which really just delegates the work to TWRP, assuming that's the recovery you're using - so much as using it to find ROMs. You're much better off finding ROMs, say, around here, where info about the ROMs, support, etc. is right there along with the ROMs themselves.

It just Makes Sense™.
