What you need to do is get an American Express card. They have this crazy benefit of unconditionally guaranteeing anything you buy using the card for a year.

I once bought a $250 camera using the card. Shortly after I took a fall when hiking on a steep slope. The camera was in a case clipped to my belt. My hip crushed that baby! Parts and pieces!

I called AMEX and related the story. I had heard the guarantee covers all losses - lost, stolen, or crushed! Sure enough, the person looked up the transaction, asked I send them an email describing my accident, and then credited the full price back to the card!

I buy all toys on the card now.

Am I the only one that thinks putting a tablet in your pocket is a completely stupid idea? Not only because you'll break it, it looks completely ridiculous.
[Nexus 7 General] ryansinibaldi:
I'm 90% sure that the static screen is caused by the battery cable coming partially loose. Open up the back cover, carefully pull out the battery cable and then reconnect it. Let me know if that worked for you. I did a lot of searching when that happened to mine.

This! And a guitar pick makes a great opener
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
Not to be rude, but I think you need to get some common sense and look after your devices.

I mean, doing it once is understandable, but didn't you learn from your mistakes?

They're not made of ice and are far from "fragile" so to break three is good going !!

Good luck with your new tab !

I use tablets 5-6 hours a day and never drop it for years i used..so that speak for you.
[Nexus 7 General] Letitride:
Those records, LOL, I would NOT be bragging about here or elsewhere - like others above posting said, how about a little bit more due diligence - protect your "investment" and get a non-slip, protective cover or case - and then, urrrrh, enclosed it with high-desensity foam for exta padding. It is a small trade-off for reducing ordinary wear & tear as well.

Given the high cost of repair & reported incidents, I reluctantly got accidental/breakage insurance for it, but it's still no fun to send it away for repair/exchange and wait for delivery after the claim is processed, etc. and live without the device for # of days (or weeks)
[Nexus 7 General] iBolski:
How the heck did you get it to fit in a back pocket of your pants? Those must be some mighty big pockets! :laugh:

In fact, WHY would you put it in your back pocket? :confused:

In any case, this isn't a phone. Heck, I wouldn't even put my RAZR MAXX in my back pocket because that could DEFINITELY cause something to break.

[Nexus 7 General] fubaya:
Why are you looking at my butt?

I would do that to carry it in a restaurant or something, it's not like I kept it there all the time. It fits perfectly. I have a 32 inch waist and wear levi's so my pockets are pretty standard.

Well the first time my 7 year old dropped it. I had only been letting her use it on the couch or carpet or other soft places but she grabbed it without me knowing and dropped it in the garage. As I said, I'm pretty sure the second one had a defect as the screen would pop when I pushed it, and the third time, I don't know what happened, the impact it suffered must have been miniscule.

Me too, I've never dropped a tablet, laptop, phone or any other device in my life until all the bad luck with the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] Adinaky:
What a weird record, you should take more care of your device. And putting it into a back pocket? I don't even put my SGSII there. Anything can happen anytime.
[Nexus 7 General] xzb6np:
Mine car out of the box, got a screen protector and into a Snuggled case. I don't even carry it with the cover open. I close it if I get up. :)

Guess I'm paranoid.
[Nexus 7 General] codehunter2000:
My little brother is the same way! Somehow he managed to do some weird spinning move and launch his 1st gen iPad off the top of a basket full of laundry and smash it into the banister at the bottom of the stairs. Dented the hell out of the case, but fortunately the screen didn't break. Fubaya, do you have a really bad case of the butterfingers, or are you just a klutz like my brother? :) In regards to the pockets: I have the same inch waist and frequently just slide my n7 into my back pocket. Perfect fit! :highfive:
[Nexus 7 General] dottat:
I would bet money when it dropped the internal battery lead disconnected. Pop the back off and check it before returning !!!
[Nexus 7 General] dalanik:
So that only means you have enough money to waste because you don;t take care of your device(s). If yoi had less money, you would pay more attention....
[Nexus 7 General] xateeq:
I was like that once, didn't drooped my phones by left them some ware or lost them and never found them again. the only solution i can think of was to get a leash and tie it to my hand when ever i am using one. soon due to the embarrassed i leaned how to take care of my devices and never had problem since.

try some thing like that e.g do not buy new device unless u truly take care of ur old ones or get them repaired till the point they wont even get repaired and that might help u take good care or ur devices. :D
[Nexus 7 General] cnstarz:
do your bank account a favor and just buy this instead from now on:
[Nexus 7 General] projectzro:
Woooow I work at staples too. Did they ask you to turn it in? Usually they just send you a cash coupon now so you can come in same day to buy one. In fact at the end of the warranty just claim that it took a swim or that it fell down the stairs and collect to buy the next best thing and keep the old one. Anyway the **** man?! I can understand having it in your back pocket, I do it all the time but my pockets are big. The whole thing with a stand case fits in there. But I only put it there when I'm at work so I can demo things for ppl.
[Nexus 7 General] CheesyNutz:
Back pocket wtf
[Nexus 7 General] ClintvL:
And this is why they sell cases... Still loving my first N7 ;P
[Nexus 7 General] SliTCX:
Ouch, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm still on my first Nexus 7. I purchased a screen protector and a Portenzo bookcase for it. Have to be safe with fragile things.

I hope your third one doesn't break on you. :)
[Nexus 7 General] damagedgoods:
I eat mine.

I've got through nine now. They taste a bit like tyres and marmite.
[Nexus 7 General] bjo12:
Have you tried thinking maybe N7 is not for you? :p

just kidding.. I dropped mine from waist high face flat luckily nothing happened(maybe because when i dropped it my headset was comnected so it kinda helped in reducing the impact). have you tried charging your N7 before opening it again? maybe it has no juice in it that's why it didn't boot..:rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] Letitride:
How about these pants for your N7 - http://www.scottevest.com/v3_store/ultimate-cargo-pants.shtml

Still risky to put a "bare" N7 inside one of these huge (exteior) cargo pockets next to the thigh, but at least it won't slip or fall out easily by accident.

That, or consider investing in one of the 5.1.1 cargo pants - we wear them when we go tactical or get deployed for certain field assignments. A protective case is still highly, strongly recommended.

Good luck!
[Nexus 7 General] Southrice:
Just sneezed with my n7 resting on my leg while eating food. Still in my lap.... I don't know how you do it man.... Just be more careful.

Buy a cheap case on eBay or something guys like come on. I bought a cheap case (13.95$ CA) came with like 8 things. Just got one and its actually premium quality, sleep n wake feature rotation etc...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hjjfffaa:
I'm trying to unroot my device back to stock since I'm pretty pleased with Touchwiz and want the next 4.1.2 update. I used triangle away to reset the flash counter and then used Odin to install a stock 4.1.1 firmware. However, when I look at device status it still says modified. Can I still get the OTA updates with this and is there any way to fix this and have it say normal?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LoopDoGG79:
What count does it say? Does it say count as "no"?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alderaan34:
If you still have SuperSU installed in the settings there's and option to do full unroot, that's how unrooted my last gs3 before I returned it. Anyone more experienced please feel free to correct me, as obviously I am still a noob.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
Might be s while before we get that update but it's your phone I guess
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hjjfffaa:
Says this in download mode

Custom Binary Download: No

Current Binary: Samsung Official

I'll re-root and see what that does.

EDIT: Did not work.

It sure is my phone, I don't have a need for it to be anything but stock at the moment so that's how I want it to be.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hjjfffaa:
I have also tried doing the process over again but using the 4.0.4 firmware. Still nothing.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] OKAstro:
I would like to get a charging cable that has 2 Male Micro USB connectors and 1 standard Male USB connector.

These are supposed to charge 2 cell phones through one USB charger, but I've read that you might need a higher capacity charger than comes with your single cable charger.

Will the standard USB charger that comes with our phone work, or will I need a higher capacity charger?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themadproducer:
Our S3's can charge at approximately max 1.1amps and perhaps more on a custom rom. Our stock chargers will not likely provide enough to charge 2 S3's at that fast rate. But, instead it will likely charge both at half that rate. So. I would get a charger that can handle more than 2amps...preferably 3amps so that there is plenty of headroom especially if the charger specs are over-rated. The S3 will only use what it needs and of course, it will slow down the charge as it gets closer to being fully charged. Also, note that if the USB Y-cable or splitter is not wired correctly, then it may not charge at fast rate.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OKAstro:
Thanks. Where can I find a 3 amp charger?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themadproducer:
I have a usb 2amp cigarette lighter charger and it has 2 usb ports for charging and charges my S3 and an HD2 together at fast rate when I use proper usb cable(s).

On a 2sec Google search, I found this 3amp usb wall charger (2amp + 1amp) example...or this Scosche 4 port 4amp wall charger although it says each port is limited to 1amp max. You can always put in a USB Y cable making 2 ports merge into 1 yielding 2amp max output...if necessary.

Here is a 2 port x 2.1amp per port example..which would give you maximum headroom and might work well for more demanding tablet devices etc.
[General Questions and Answers] GuestK00378:
Ever since ~September of 2012 when Windows 8 was released and I tried it for the first time, I have been giving this idea a lot of thought. Mobile devices are becoming so powerful and more and more people are ditching their computer for an iPad / other tabet, which is almost equally as powerful as their old computer. Take the newly announced Tegra 4 APU. It has 72 freaking graphics cores!!!!! I run a laptop with a Geforce 555M that has 96 cuda cores, and I use that for intensive gaming. That is insane! What would ANYONE need 72 graphics cores on a mobile device for? The most graphically intensive android game I can think of off the top of my head is NOVA 3, and honestly, does that need a quad core processor, 72 graphics cores, and (probably becoming standard). 2GB of ram? NO! So why do companies pack those rediculous specs into a phone/tablet for? Does anyone else remember the days of a 1GHz single core Athlon processor on a desktop, and that was considered the best? Now dont get me wrong, I'm not saying we should throttle mobile devices just for the sake of throttling them, but I am trying to get my point across that there is no reason for those kinds of specs to be packed into a device that was originally intended to make calls.

I'm not ranting/raving or anything. Sorry if it comes across that way. I'm just curious to see if anyone is still out there that isn't converting to an average consumer who just cares how many gpu/cpu cores and how much ram they can get into a 4" cell phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
My dad was never big into computers. Now that he has a smartphone, he says he hardly ever uses his desktop. So, for a lot of people, I think that their mobile devices can perform and replace the functions of a "for pleasure" desktop. Obviously, this is not going to cut it for the kind of gamer who cares about overclocking and liquid cooling - there's just more freedom with a custom desktop build, but I'm sure they'll appreciate mobile gaming, too - I know I do.

A phone might be a little small for web-browsing, but not everyone is big into that. Apps for e-mail, Facebook, eBay - those cover a lot of "normal" use.

And a 10" tablet is a good size to enjoy full web-browsing. For me, personally, it's not entirely the same, but it's close enough for most of my uses. I still prefer the desktop for some things, but I can do them without much trouble on the tablet, too. For me, a tablet with keyboard has taken the place of a laptop - I still like having a desktop for movies, games, and backup - but a tablet covers all the things I needed a laptop for. I think a lot of people can find that is true, who don't use their laptops for much "heavy lifting" - they'll find that a tablet is smaller, lighter, and does a lot of things very well.

With the lowering price of tablets, I do think that they will be able to take a good part of the consumer market that will find they don't need a laptop or even desktop (and we know that desktops have already been on the way out for the average consumer).
[General Questions and Answers] Hr Kristian:
The GTX 680M (Nvidia Kepler card for laptops) is running on 1184 or so CUDA-cores.

The high end desktop Keplers I can't recall, but it's safe to say that the less than hundred cores in the Tegra 4 SoC really only tells you one thing:

Mobile units just cannot -at least for a very long time- replace stationary electronics.

I don't remember the clock speed of the Tegra cores, but the Kepler cards run at over 1GHz.

When materials allow power supply, battery lifetime and passive cooling comparable to what is available to a stationary unit, then mobile units will replace them.
[General Questions and Answers] Extrinsic:
I think that there will always be a need for desktop computers, at least in the foreseeable future. Mobile devices are good and quite convenient for media consumption, but try doing any kind of serious work on one. Electronics will continue to become more and more miniaturized, and it's possible that one day desktops will simply be a thing of the past, but we still have a long way to go.

(Here's hoping that we see holography in our lifetimes!)
[General Questions and Answers] Hr Kristian:
Holography already exists, and not just the fake kind, Google it :P
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I think it depends on the consumer. Most consumers are ditching desktops for laptops. The laptops in some cases function just like a desktop would, almost always at home and plugged in - but people are staying away from machines that aren't portable more than ever.

Desktops are certainly still needed for heavy lifting - gaming and many work applications. But for a person who's not in a tech field, a laptop can do all the word-processing one could need as well as email and simple company applications. People who use computers as an accessory tool, not a primary one, don't need a desktop since a laptop can provide the same power they'd have gotten in a bigger, immobile box. And this way they can work from the couch or kitchen table.

Tablets aren't going to take over things like word-processing, although I can see farther in the future the modular concept expanded upon (I use my ASUD Transformer for word-processing quite often).
[LG Optimus Black] bolloc:
I just purchased an unlocked Optimus black, I have inserted my sim card and can connect, however it doesn't seem to go into 3g mode. My Carrier is Rogers, (Canada). When I look in the Settings/.../Network Mode the options I have are GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) or WCDMA only or GSM only. Does this mean the phone will not do 3G on Rogers? Rogers is a GSM Carrier.

When I checked the frequencies (@gsmarena) for the phone prior to purchasing, it listed 2 "HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100" & "HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100" my current phone matches the second one so I assumed all was good, have I erred in assuming the phone supports both when in actuality it only supports one depending on which 'sub' model you get?

Accept my apologies if I have asked this question in the wrong area, and tell me to bugger off after pointing me in the right direction.

Tia...
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
What do you mean by unlocked OB? Is it other than P970?

The P970 (Normal OB) can't be networked locked in the first place.

And yes it's in the right place :).
[LG Optimus Black] bolloc:
The phone was advertised as unlocked and that it could be used with any GSM carrier. In the past when I had called a different carrier searching for better rates I was told it was ok to use my phone on their networks if it was unlocked so I made sure I didn't purchase a locked phone. So was that really redundant, this model can't be locked?

I think the problem I have is this phone doesn't appear to work on one of the frequencies I need (HSDPA/HSUPA 850). I compared the specs at gsmarena for my existing phone and for the OB, like I said in the first post, I thought they had similar frequencies. After posting this question I looked into it more, the specs for my existing phone at the manufacturers website differ, they show HSDPA/HSUPA at 900/1900/2100 MHz or 850/900/1900/2100 MHz. Then I researched the networks used by the carriers and sure enough Rogers is UMTS 850/1900 as are the other carriers here.
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
P970 can't be locked.

The sprint variant (LG Marquee) of the OB can be locked though, not sure about the Japanese and Korean variants though.

What firmware are you using? Perhaps it will be a good idea to use your countries firmware.

Just use the official LG Updater to install the firmware.
[LG Optimus Black] bolloc:
I forget now what the original version (V10something) was because since then I have managed to totally mess it up, it now has no imei# ...

As I said in my first post the issue was with 'data' performance it was pathetic, I did not see this phone show a 3g icon when connected and when I measured the speed it was reminiscent of performance we experienced a few years ago prior to 3g.

So I flashed it, with a patched V20J... oops, this is where things went from bad to worse. Somewhere during my troubleshooting research I noticed that this wasn't a P970. Although this is what was advertised in the sale, it is in fact a KU5900. I thought no problem I will download a korean firmware, that sounds easier than the reality though, I can't download the korean firmware from lg-phone-firmware.com probably because I am in Canada, I even tried to do it through a korean proxy, didn't work.

I found a link here to the V30I firmware that I could download, flashed that, bricked the sucker. Fixed the brick by putting the V20J back, found your post re. dd the imei to mmcblk0p11, it didn't work, perhaps this is one of the differences in the KU5900? And yes I did see your heading warning it was for a P970 only but figured what have I got to loose :)

I did try the LG updater it failed, come to think of it this is where I found out it was a KU5900, of course I tried that after the fact, and I found your thread about re-writing the nvram with advise to back it up first, after the fact.

Now to address the locking portion of your reply, I purchased a P970 on the day you replied to this thread. From a different carrier, they had a great deal on their plans and I needed to jump on it then and there, although I had purchased a new phone the deal also included a phone so I grabbed the 'same' an optimus black. This phone will only work with the sim they provided, when I put in my Rogers sim it wouldn't work, I tried setting it up manually, nothing. This is what I understand as being locked, whether the correct terminology is network locked or not I have no idea.

On a side note, the seller has agreed to replace the phone, unfortunately I believe that even though they have confirmed it will be a P970, I will end up with another KU5900, I couldn't care less providing I have access to KU5900 firmware which seems to be a bit of a challenge.
