I work at a store and me and one other guy knows what we're talking about...so yeah you get about a 5 percent chance of the reps knowing anything, but as a guy said before me it's easier to be nice to the rep and probably get what you want than to be a Douche and end up getting nothing and possibly losing something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SJUnion:
No offense to anyone, but if you know enough to be here at XDA there should be no reason to step foot inside a store or call tech support. I buy all my gear online and If I call tech its because I already know it's gonna be a warranty replacement. I do the little song and dance on the phone, and a couple days later the phone shows up.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr_schticker:
Yep, I really don't get the folks trying to buy stuff in stores or calling tech support. It's literally just someone reading a screen, there is no such thing as tech info you can't find yourself online and quicker than tech support. Sad but true.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
The moral of this story is:

Be nice to the guys at the store or on the phone. They make less than you do, and they have to deal with a hundred people just like you every day. They don't owe you anything but if you're cool they'll help you out. Oddly enough this is a lesson which can be applied to human interactions everywhere in your life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
All you have to know to be here at XDA is how to read and follow a simple sign up. Not that special.

Most tech supports have a database of issues that have occurred in the past and how to fix them (not found on Google). There are also things that can happen that is beyond the user's control. I didn't get a delivery notice from Verizon for my Note 2 so I called them and found out there was a bug in the system and we had to resubmit it. If I had your way of thinking on the matter I would have never got my phone.

Just because many people here at XDA don't need tech support, doesn't mean the majority of people don't. You can see this in most mod/ROM threads. Lots of people ask questions because they have issues and the communuty helps them out (basically tech support). I work in IT and some people don't know anything about electronics eventhough they work with them everyday.

Not trying to attack you guys or anything, just trying to bring the real world to a tech forum since I help them every day.

The tech that sold me my N2 was new, it was her first week on the floor (over Christmas too). I was teaching her way more about Android and the N2 then she had in training. She had an iPhone 5 and was asking me all kinds of questions about the differences between the IOS and Android.

To me, it sounded like they didn't have any real training on the phones at all, just how to sell/activate them.

Found it kinda cute when she tried to sell me VZW's navigation software and was saying how better it was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SJUnion:
Sorry, what I meant was that most of us here know enough to use the tools, resources, and minds here on XDA and yes the google to troubleshoot and diagnose our technical problems. Its true all that is required to be on XDA is a web address and the ability to read and register; however to those that I have spoken to and shared a dialog with here on the forum it seems to me that we benefit from a very savvy user base. A base that I would and do choose over Verizon's tech support any day of the week.

In regards to your reference to a "database of issues", I have no doubt that such systems exist...however its been my experience that we are always ahead of them in that regard.

Now when it comes to logistical problems, like stock and shipping...you have a valid point there. If something doesn't show, only VZW will have the answer, not that Ive ever run into a problem with shipping from VZW *knock on wood*.

To wrap it up, I have friends and family that work for VZW and in no way mean to put these people down or suggest that they should be treated badly because they just aren't into this the way we are.....but if you need tech help and your reading this, come here first. Search, Ask Questions, Contribute.

We are completely off-topic now.

The whole issue was billing an app to an account.

No amount of XDA mods, tools, and guides will fix an account issue. Despite my misgivings for how the OP addressed the CSR, he didn't have a choice but to contact them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SJUnion:
True enough. Sorry about that.

Sales experience is required. I'm extremely knowledgeable and people don't really care about specs. Most don't care or understand what an exynos quad core is or what it even means. Trying to be a sales rep you have to be able to adjust to the person in front of you. If I can see you're techy then ill start with specs and test you on your knowledge. If it's a girl then ill adjust to her. If you can't do that then you'll end up getting fired ina couple of months for not meeting your metrics. And if you can't handle the stress then you'll have it.

It's absolutely sad to see happy new employees that will soon realize what a terrible mistake they made. Unfortunately the three week training is all about sales and very little on the actual operating systems.

Eh we get paid well for an easy job. Made 65k just for talking to people.

This. There has been many times I know I could have fixed a phone without losing any info that were factory reset because the customer has being a double. There has also been many times ill wipe cache partitions to fix an issue with a phone that won't boot because the person is nice. Whenever anyone is being rude the person helping you will find a way to retur the favor. I have even saved unlimited data plans because the personal n was that awesome.

Be nice to people because karma will get you.

I can see both sides of the story here

Well I can see both sides of the story here. For example one of my best friends was the manager of the Geek Squad at our local Best Buy and he knows my computer skills as well as my customer service skills from accomplishments and suggestions that we made to the Technology Director for the school district because of the way he treated us him and I sat down and in 10 minutes flat brought down the entire computer network district wide that he claimed was basically hack-proof. But when I was in high school I also worked for McDonalds and one of the guys that I worked with claimed he was great with computers when in fact my 3 year old niece knew more about computers than this guy would hope to know in his lifetime. Yet him and I both apply to work with Geek Squad and the tests they gave him and I were pretty easy for me, but he couldn't have passed them if his life depended on it yet he was the one they hired and when I asked my buddy Mike from high school why that was he told me it was all about money. They could have never gotten me to work for minimum wage or so they thought where they could get the other guy to. Yes we all have to be a little nicer to those who are trying to help us, but when they are constantly sexually harassing me I say give me my gun I'm going hunting. No matter who I talk to at Verizon they constantly refer to me as a woman, which I'm not, even though on the computer screen in front of them they can see my name is a guy's name it's not one of those names that could go either way like Stacy or Terry etc. I've even had them apologize for doing it in one sentence and the very next sentence out of their mouth they do it again, no exaggeration. These companies need to wise up and start teaching their employees how to take pride in their work. I was a manager at McDonalds for almost 6 years and 98% of the employees loved me because of two reasons: They didn't work for me, I worked with them. And secondly as long as they got their work done by the end of their shift and they weren't doing anything to harm customers or the restaurant they had the freedom to do what they wanted. The 2% that didn't like me were the ones who either didn't want to work for their paycheck or were other managers who were jealous of the rapport that I had with our crew.

Bestbuy will die soon enough. They wouldn't even take my money this holiday season. I was there to look at/ buy the note 10.1. They were price matching amazon during December. Wanted to make sure the screen was good enough, a lot of reviews bashed it. Went and played with it and tried to buy it. Asked the first guy I saw not doing anything behind the counter and he told me another guy had to help me. That guy was busy with a middle-aged woman looking at the ipads. That could take a while. Told the guy I just wanted to buy the 32gb note 10.1 and why couldn't he do that for me? He just repeated that the other guy had to help me. Took me about 5 screen presses to buy it on amazon while walking out of bestbuy.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Vaith:
Do not command! Instead of talking like other 13 old kids make SOMETHING and help developers... There isn't fully working rom on this forum for SXP. We must wait for Jelly Bean, then we will have CM10(fully working). Now wait or click thanks to all devs on forum instead of commanding them. They know what they want to do.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amitb96:
If you can't read don't just throw yourself on people. I did not command nor did I even said something which could be considered a command, it was merely a suggestion. I always click thanks to the dev's, so don't lecture me.

I just suggested something that I think would help the developer, not a command, because the dev knows what to do he doesn't need me or you to help him, so don't spam this thread with meanless comments lecturing others.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Vaith:
Your post was also unnecessary, because like u say you give them suggestion. In my opinion they should make it for unlocked bl only, when it will be without bugs.

i went from aokp rom 4.1.2 to 4.2 jb and titanium wont find my backups . this has never happen when changing roms . anyone know how i can restore my apps+data . please please help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hitman_dreams:
It has to do with the folder structure change in 4.2. I had my Ti backups on an external card and had to move them to the new location. I believe its now /sdcard/0/ instead of /sdcard/. You might see a /0 folder in the /sdcard/0 folder, click on that /0 folder until you find your data and move the Ti backup folder to /sdcard/0. Then in Ti refresh the app list in the menu setting. Although after doing that, my restores aren't restoring the data, or if it is it isn't restoring it to the right location.

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

Update:

After moving all data from the /0/0 folders to the right spot and removing them, a restore of data only to an application restored correctly. Good luck to you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoestar:
If you have them on an External SD, would it not matter? I ran 4.2 for a little bit and I don't remember issues with it finding my backups? I know for sure I didn't move them. Just tell it to detect.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hitman_dreams:
No, you're right, if it was on an external SD and that was it's home. I manually moved it to the SD before flashing in case I lost the stuff on my internal, which sort of happened until I realized /0 folder issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Hi

I have a TF700T, unlocked, TWRP and CROMI 3.0.4.

My battery meter is acting weird. For example I recharged both my tab and the dock this afternoon. I unplugged them around 16:30. I've been using my tab for the last few hours (it's now past midnight), not all the time, but quite often. The meter on the tab is still showing 100%. The one for the dock is showing 94%. This is not the normal behavior of my tab and it's been doing that since I unlocked and installed TWRP and CROMI. Before, it would start to go down almost immediately, and would start recharging only at 70%, like it's supposed to.

Last time it stayed at 100% for a while and then started to drain very quickly, and then stabilized and started to act normally.

I'm trying to understand whatcould be the problem. Last time it got "stuck" like that I went to recovery and TWRP was also showing 100% power left. So it's not CROMI. But it's something... Anybody else with the same problem? Or anyone got a solution, an idea? Because I'm worried this will get worse... :(

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You could try clearing the battery stats. I think TWRP has the option to do it, not sure about CWM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Ok thanks sdbags, I'll look into that...

Is there an ideal moment to do that? After a full recharge?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Usually you do 100% charge, clear stats, reboot let it get back to 100% and unplug but to be honest it probably doesn't really matter.

You'll know fairly soon if you still have the problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I just checked mine and it started with tablet battery until down to 89%, then dock battery kick in maintain the tablet battery around 89-90%.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
The dock shouldn't recharge the tab unless it reaches 70% or lower. At least it's what it was doing before, and what's documented as normal behavior. Since my tab spends 99% of its time docked, I don't know how it would behave undocked...
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Looks like it solved the problem for now. Thanks sbdags! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Well, unfortunately, it isn't solved. When I deleted batterystats.bin it went back to "normal" at first, the tab was fully charged and it started to go down almost immediatly after I unplugged it. But yesterday it died on me while the gauge was still showing a little bit less than 30%!!! I did a full charge last night, and it's back to its old tricks: stucked at 100% for the last 8 hours (overnight).

This is very annoying... Is there anything I can do to recalibrate the battery gauge?

And why is this happening? I didn't have this problem when locked with stock ROM and recovery... I'm not complaining, I just want to understand and maybe try to fix this! Thanks! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Could be a battery hardware issue? Sounds like it's not reporting its current and voltage correctly.

You need to get some battery monitoring apps on it so you can see what is really going on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Could be, but it's weird that it started just after I decided to unlock. It was fine the first 4 months of its life...

Any battery monitoring app you recommend? There are a few on Google Play... I have Battery Widget Reborn, it does some monitoring, but it doesn't provide a lot of information. I'm sure there is an "ultimate battery app" or something... Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Try battery monitor widget. It does everything you need.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Ok, thanks... Will try that and report! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Ok... So I did some testing... My tab is shutting down (more like crashing) at 28% and showing 6561 mV. I then have to plug it in and wait for 5-8 minutes before it will allow me to boot it.

So I plugged it in... It reached 100% at 8169 mV... But then, it continued to charge. As of now, it is at 8296 and still going up as I'm writing this!!

This issue is the same as issue #2 in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2090826

Now, I don't know, but it look suspicious to me that this problem started when I installed TWRP and CROMI. Could it be related, somehow??
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
Additionnal details:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41224
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What happens if you wipe the battery stats again?

The only other thing I can recommended is a total wipe, reflash Asus stock to redo the bootloader, TWRP and reflash CROMI. Others don't have this problem so it is something particularly to your setup.

All those posts you linked are pointing to the 4.2.1 update causing the issue. As we only have 4.1.1 I can't see any relationship unless Asus injected some 4.2.1 code into their latest update which seems unlikely.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acme99:
I wiped the stats yesterday. Looks like it doesn't do much.

I'll go ahead and reflash stock...

Thanks!
