I myself had issues with the cable/adapter so I sent both of them in with return label they provided me with, in the mean time I used my old 1A charger. The whole return and shipping back the replacement took less than a week, didn't even experience any inconvenience. When they say "technicians has to evaluate the defect", it doesn't mean they will hold on to your defective item and can't ship the replacement till they figure it out. They will ship the replacement as soon as they receive the defect.

Yes, I do think they should send the replacement first and have CC option, but this is their warranty policy and you complaining here posting "Samsung Warranty Fail" won't change anything or get you a new cable/adapter anytime soon....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BACARDILIMON:
This gave me a good laugh thank you. We all have the same cable. It works great when u not using the phone. Meaning just plug it in and walk away from it. If u wanna use it while u charge it u need a better cable to lock in to the micro usb port. It has nothing to do with getting the charger replaced. They not gonna do it. If by some chance u do get it replaced it will be by the same junk u been using.

I've heard cutting the plastic boot back a bit helps. Seems the injection mold was a little to long.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zen0s:
Actually, the replacement I got is not loose fit at all. It can still be unplugged easily but even when I'm using the phone, it doesn't just fall out or anything.

Glad to get some informative discussion in the thread. I was hoping to gauge if the problem I had with the cable was common or not. It seems to be common. I too thought about taking a Dremel to trim the plastic. It is just painful when doing data transfers and the cable falls out for no good reason. I'm going to see if I can drop by the service center today and just get it replaced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] friend'scatdied:
I think it's dutifully designed.

When I replaced the crappy OEM cable on my Galaxy Nexus, there were one or two times I accidentally tripped on it and the phone was thrown to the floor (no damage fortunately).

With the crappy OEM cables if you trip on them they just detach from the phone. Your $700 phablet won't go flying with it.

Wonder if Apple has patented the magnetic design like on their laptops. Otherwise, that is a brilliant design either way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Amowagou:
My 10 years old rice cooker has magnet assisted power cord connectors, so I don't think Apple can pattern that idea. But I do love the new Lightning port, I hope it becomes an industry standard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _atlien_:
The charge cable falling out is a bonafied defect. Happens all the time. Changing out the cable with something generic is an option but I tend to avoid fiddling with replacing charging components. That's the fastest way to prematurely burn out components.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Babyexp:
***UPDATE***

So I made it to Samsung in Richardson, TX. They have me the local number to repairs in Plano, TX. The repair center only offered to exchange it for a black cable. Then I called T-MOBILE stores. They gave me a new white cable and told me to keep the old cable. The new cable its more snug now. I used the Dremel on the old cable and it is snug now too. THE END.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] planetbeen:
The cable that came with my note 2 is snug and doesn't easily fall out. It seems there was definitely a quality control issue with the cables and some of us lucked out and got a good one.

I'm glad you were able to get a properly working one. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jerry D:
This is true and was mentioned a while back. One of our members suggested cutting the boot back half the width of a dime with a very sharp razor. I did just that and now my cable fits very tightly. I can hold the cable with my phone hanging from it and my phone won't detach..

My cable was loose and falling out very easily. It was driving me mad. I didn't want to buy a new one because I have seen members (ie SGS4G) in the past have issues because they weren't using the usb cable that came with the phone. The stock cable is critical imo.

DON'T CUT IT MORE THAN HALF THE WIDTH OF A DIME. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED.

P.S.

Be aware that the plastic on the boot is pretty hard. You are going to want to place the cable on a table and slowly and deliberately slice into the plastic. I used a "side to side rocking motion" to accomplish this fix. Trying to push the razor as hard as I could to slice through caused the cable to "rock" forward.. its no hard to do just be careful. You don't want to cut yourself.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KillaHurtz:
This thread is pointless. This no warranty fail from Samsung. If something breaks or is defective you must always send the item back first. This is why Samsung is in top of the mobile game. If they took everyone's word about a defective cable or battery they would be in HTCs shoes, because they used to do that. Give them a break, plus you are probably using a case that restricts access to the charging port in the 1st place.

I have the bleeding issue but i dont know if return it or dont because i heard all nexus 7 have bleeding, and if I get another one might have bleeding too, even worse.

Whit that bleeding should i return it or is normal?

Sorry for my bad English :sly:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regalpimpin:
That's about average.. I've seen better and worse.

the 16gb i originally purchased and my 32gb are somewhat comparable to this. Although the 32gb I bought for my mother has absolutely no light bleed at all.

I notice on my 32gb the nav bar is slightly less black on the bottom left side because of the bleed but it's not to much of a distraction.

If you cant handle it, try swapping them out. Otherwise just learn to live with it.

Hello dear Members and Developers,

a week ago I thought about how to run ".exe" files on Android (because I wanted to run Minecraft:D on my Galaxy Tab 2).You know:Android is a daughter of Linux so why isn't it possoble to run Wine on it?

I have really no idea.But thats my question to you,dear members and developers:is someone out there who knows how to run Wine as an .apk file on a phone with ARMv6 Processor?Or is someone out there who knows how to run Wine on a Android Device

(with ARMv7)?

With greatings,Lord Asriel:)

Tltr: No not going to happen

This isn't possible, first and foremost wine is not and emulator (infact wine stands for `Wine is not a emulator` ) so in order to run .exe they have to be compiled for the same processor as in your device, this is fine on desktop/laptops because they do use the same processors, but android devices (for the most part) use ARM processors which are not the same.

Android also can not normally run Linux programs, unlike normal Linux distros its only really the Linux kernel that android shares.

You can install a Linux distro within android and then install Linux programs, but they still need to be able compiled for ARM
[Android General] Lord Asriel:

[Android General] Fokov:
Yes very possible, but not the way you asked

To Mr. Lord Asriel

You can run Minecraft from your phone and most phones with an app like Kinoconsole or Remotr or Liquidsky. They all use vnc streaming except they also incorperate formes of contoller support like on screen mapping or bluetooth and even xbox controller emulation in Kino.

You have to put the host app on a PC that is conncted to wifi and have the programs you want to play installed on that PC.

If you would like an easy way to do the same thing but only control the PC, I suggest Teamviewer. Its good for getting your PC to turn on if you forgot before you left your house too. Also control other androids too.

The wandering-gps-bug is related to the fact that your GPS can't get a fix... Try GPS-status (search play) and let it download the A-GPS file. Restart your GPS and let it sit for a while in open air. As soon as it get's a fix, the wandering will end...

I ask this because it appears to default to the highest resolution available on a given monitor, but 1080p is gimped at 30Hz, which is extremely bad. If I can force the adapter to display at 720p 60Hz at all time then that would be awesome!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] interkin3tic:
My power button got stuck. The phone boot loops and immediately starts again when I put the battery back in.

I followed instructions from this forum to remove the back case, cleaned with contact cleaner, removed the external (black) power button. It's still stuck, without the case on and without the external power button in place, the phone still immediately turns on and boot loops with when the battery is put on.

It's out of warranty, AT&T told me in the nicest possible terms that I should buy a new phone at nearly full price and chuck the old one in the trash, though the rep was nice enough to give me a sim card that can fit in an old iphone I had.

Has anyone had any luck paying Samsung to fix similar issues, or any hardware issues whatsoever? I suspect Samsung too would be more interested in forcing me to buy a new phone rather than replacing a single button.

Lastly, if no company will take my money to fix it, has anyone had any experience fixing it themselves? I sprayed contact cleaner into and around the button to no avail. I did not try removing the circuit board itself or opening up anything further.

From this teardown, I can't really see where the button is or if it's anything that can be opened up or replaced. I have no experience replacing electronic components anyway and have no idea where I would order one anyway.

I couldnt find a dedicate thread for Vodafone Smart tab 2. So I guess I ll post this here maybe will help some people.

This tablet is basicaly a Lenovo A2107 (A2107A_A404_010_002_120913_VODA)

- with single sim slot ( call feature restricted - only data enabled) and 4gb storage (1.8 gb user available)

For root - you can use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2044496

User isyrider managed to install recovery and pemergency rom unlocking the calling feature also.

I was looking for a way to swap the internal storage with the sd card so I could get more space if posible without installing a custom rom to avoid incompatibility issues that could appear. Directory bind can help with big game files like gameloft but those 2 gb are still not too much . I was unable to install N.O.V.A 3 because it requires 1.81 gb free on sd.

Anyway long story short . To swap internal memory with SD card you need to have root and replace your VOLD.FSTAB file from system/etc with the one I attached.

You need to have root .

Use any root explorer.

Unzip attachment

Rename your VOLD.FSTAB to VOLD.FSTAB.BAK

Copy my VOLD.FSTAB to system/etc

Reboot.

Check in settings, You will see your sd card listed as internal memory.

This combined with link2sd app will give you plenty of space to install anything .

Hope this helps .

Hi i managed to use the vold.fstab and replace the internal memory with the sdcard but my problem wasnt solved because the tablet also has another partition 503mb of internal storage and when i install any app will install the apps data on that internal storage even if i have sdcard or internal memory as default write disk so after a couple of apps i have the out of space issue because the internal storage is full is there any way to swap the internal storage 503mb ( not the internal memory 1.85gb) with the internal memory or even with the sdcard this is really stupid why have only 503mb of internal storage if the apps save keep saving data on that partition

Hi there, xda! Long time reader, first time poster..

I've had a Razr M (xt907) for a month or two now, and I'm ready to explore some of the ROMs available for this device. I've had a couple of Droid's previously, with a myriad of different mods, and I am now ready to get back on that level.

Now, I am interested in using SafeStrap, and I have done everything you'd think I'd need to do (factory reset, root, safestrap APK install, 'install recovery').

At this point, (per instruction) I should be seeing the safestrap boot menu, with recovery options, but I am not! It boots straight into the Droid animation.

I have tried the 'recovery' option in fastboot to see if maybe safestrap hooked itself up to solely that method of accessing recovery, but no dice.

How on earth do I access safestrap? It does not start on boot, and no 'recovery' option kicks it off. What should I do?
