[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayrod1980:
Why is it ridiculous? Why are you a cheap skate? The phone is $350 on play plus shipping ($20 bucks?) And its $500 in store plus tax. Not even a $150 difference. Googles price point and objective is different than T-Mobile. Buying from T-Mobile is buying from a retailer, and they are charging based on their normal profit model. It is still over a hundred less than other top tier phones. Their business is to make a cut in profit off the sales of phones and more so by providing mobile voice and data service. Google sells to spread exposure to their newest android version, features, build brand. In addition, they make money off the content of the phone such as: addict/sell Google services, app/content play store purchases, data collection/mining/selling, mobile ads, etc. Completely different profit model here and objectives. You are not being fleeced by T-Mobile, especially if buying from T-Mobile means you don't have to wait months to get one off play.

Play received many batches and much more stock than T-Mobile. This is the first time it has been available widely for T-Mobile.

People need to get off the thought that if someone charges you more then you are getting automatically getting ripped off. T-Mobile doesn't gain profit off the content of the device. Their only profit is on the sale of the device... And their service if you use it. Google makes loads of money off your movements, location, personal info, purchasing habits, usage, ad targeting, app store, etc.

They just like you to think, you are getting an avesome deal by signing that contract :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijohnboy:
It's $199 if you're upgrade eligible. At least it was when I got mine!:good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidKills:
Yeah its 199 if you're upgrade eligible or new contract.

Thought I read somewhere that it'd be free with a contract/upgrade and that they'd be selling it for the same amount as the play store, but I'm not sure if that's true

I'm eligible for an upgrade on March, I'll have wait and see
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbybooshay:
Tmobile is charging $549 + tax (+~$50) which is over $200 difference actually. No, i'm not a cheap skate, but I also don't just throw my money around. I was simply trying to find out why Google sells the unlocked contract free phone for such a cheaper price. Either way, thanks for your explanation, it was informative.

Seeing that you went through 5 Nexii 4, how do you feel about the device? And do you think the production quality of the phone has gotten better since your first? I'd hate to purchase one for +$550 just to find out something is wrong with it.

Okay so i have the HTC ONe V CDMA-PrimoC from Virgin Mobile, and i finally suceded in flashing(for the first time) a custom ROM, i flashed CM10-JB and i used the SuperSick_1-2JB.img for the kernel. I did the whole process and i got the ROM to boot up but it was so LAGGY, it kept saying that keyboard has stopped working and the home button didnt work. Is this the fault of the ROM or the kernel.img that i flashed? Links to the files i used below.

ROM-https://dl.dropbox.com/u/89643384/cm-10-20121028-UNOFFICIAL-primoc.zip

Kernel-https://dl.dropbox.com/u/89643384/SuperSick_1-2JB.img
[HTC One V] XxlemonxX:
Flash provisions its better and its probably because you didn't install it properly.. make sure you do a full wipe cm10 is stable basically it should never be laggy for more than a second at max

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ice_:
Hello guys,

I just went over my 14 day RMA period a few days ago.

However right now I want to exchange my device using the 1 year warranty primarily because the rattle has gotten worse. If I put my phone up to my ear or move it down the person sitting next to me can hear the rattle.

Secondly I put my phone in my jean pocket and one of the metal jean buttons put a deep scratch on it :mad: you can see that sucker a mile away! So much for gorilla glass!

Anyway my question is I have rev 11 which it looks like lg didn't mitigate the rattle or the mic static noise issue. Should I do the warranty now or wait till rev 12 is out? Also would they simply take my phone apart fix whatever is needed and send it back, meaning my pacific ocean trench deep scratch will stay? Or will they give me another device (note I'm over 14 day exchange period)? Also anyone have any idea when these flaws will be fixed?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abnormalreply:
Revision versions are largely meaningless, and users bickering over something as trivial as that is pretty pointless as well. LG will almost definitely not give you a new phone as it is functioning as intended. They will certainly not fix a scratched screen as it was your fault not theirs. If anything, they might get rid of the rattle and send it back to you as it is.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abufaka:
There are metal buttons in the inside of your pocket? Sounds like another weak excuse to me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
The 14 day window is a return window, not RMA. You can RMA and exchange just about anytime for warranty purposes. The rattle might be a warranty issue but the scratch will not be. I think however they'd just ship you another device while fixing your broken one which someone will then get later (after they replace the scratch also however).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ice_:
Really, have you seen the RMA thread? People are doing exchanges even for the slightest problems. Hell I have screen bleed, yellow screen, data drops in stock rom and 4 hours of battery life and I'm not complaining nor did I send my phone back 6 times for such purposes. I'm not making excuses for those because all of them can be fixed using kernels, application combinations or software updates (except the screen bleed which doesn't bother me at all)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ordered Chaos:
I called for an RMA around a month after having my device. I had noticed pretty substantial light bleed although I was willing to let it slide. Then I got a big scratch on the back like you, and decided to call them and take issue with the light bleed. They ship you a replacement whilst putting a hold for the cost on your credit card. Once you receive the replacement you are to ship your old phone back.

I'm hoping they don't try and charge me for the scratch although some other thread on here said they expect general wear and tear such as minor dings and scratches. If the way in which they handled everything else with this launch is any indication then I doubt they will give me any trouble for this. They probably won't even be able to tell that it was mine when they receive it lol.

Anyways I'm still waiting on the RMA to ship out but I am expecting things to go smoothly. I've ordered a screen protector for the reverse side. Can't mess up that delicious oleographic coating on the front with a screen but the back scratches more easily, plus the added friction from a rubber screen will stop it from sliding all over the place.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ice_:
Yep Im actually ordering my RMA tonight they sent me a link. Hopefully the new one doesn't have the rattle and static. Again it was LG's fault they made a phone with improper shielding and loose parts, so they can't deny anything. To all those bashing me I hope you understand this isn't because of a minor scratch- sure who wouldn't love a new phone. However the issues that my phone already had really pushed me towards getting a replacement. Sure I would love my scratch to be gone, but having a phone with out broken parts and a bad mic would be better. Please do not reply to this thread if you are gonna bash me. Thanks. Also to those that gave me good info. I appreciate it! ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAhrens:
How do you identify the hardware revision? I RMA'd one where the buzzing was horrible, and hoping I get a rev 12. Not sure what rev this one is either.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
go into bootloader mode. google on how to get there.

it says what rev it is.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ice_:
Volume up+ power button and you should be able to see the rev. Rev_12 is non existent rev_11 is the latest you will get.

Anyways my second RMA is near perfect.

No mic static

Rattling is minimal

And the screen is great, yellowing went away I do have a nominal binned CPU but it really doesn't phase me since I do not tweak voltage settings anyway.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAhrens:
Thanks guys. Appears I have rev 11. It was volume down + power button by the way. My new RMA replacement should be in next week, hopefully it has fixed the speaker popping/static. That's about the only issue I have, btu drives me nuts when I'm using it as a phone.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hally79:
Just a little confused and hope someone here can give me some answers, ive just purchased my Note 2 off a guy who told me it was unlocked to all networks which it is.it has the o2 boot up screen but im running it on the 3 network its working no problem.My question is when i check in about device it says its modified! But the device as far as i know is not rooted, can someone explain howvthis is done and what would happen if i rooted the phone,would i loose the unlock ??

Any help would be great
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0bscuridad:
you will need to be more specific, im sure it does not says "its modified!" on those words, a screenshot would be nice.

Assuming it says that on "About phone" is not rooted already?

Depending on the method used when it was unlocked it may be locked back, I have not seen a software unlock, so far all the unlocks for the note 2 have been by code, or by Samsung Dev Menu, in those cases they are likely to stay after rooting your phone. Proceed to root your phone at your own risk, but more likely it wont be locked.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william1974:
Download 'root checker' from play store..if no root access.Do a factory reset.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hally79:
Just checked with root checker and i have no root! But it still says my device is "Modified" do you think the device will still be unlocked if i do a factory reset ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Yes you can wipe

reboot to recovery, wipe cache and data (factory reset)

reboot normally and play for about 10 min before checking status again

If it is stil modified, just flash stock ROM with PC odin (find on 1st link on my signature)

Hi there,

Please help, I researched all the site and google and didn´t find answer. First I´d like to thank all developers for the great effort with ROMs. I love the ROMs but this bug is getting me crazy.

Problem:

I installed both stable and new version of [ROM MIUI][ GB|ICS|JB ][ | WIUI | ][ 2.12.27 ] - MULTiLanguage |21+| Defy | Defy+ on my Motorola Defy MB526 and keep getting "call ended" "not connected" when I try to make a call after sometime the phone is up. Then I restart and works nicelly for some time and then I get the same message again.

Please, Is there any fix to this??? I´d like to keep using the MOD because it is very good.

THanks in advance.

is there an app available that will show what commands/data your phone is transmitting/receiving over bluetooth (sort of like blueTerm, but with more bluetooth profiles)

it factors into a project I'm working on where I am trying to use an arduino/microcontroller (havent decided which will be better) to translate data from the headunit in my car to my phone using AVRCP (while also streaming to the headunit using A2DP), :confused: I would just like to better understand whats being sent so that I can more accurately code the PIC/ARD to convert from the headunits systems to AVRCP

any information will be helpful:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
I have done this by mistake in the past using odin but I can't understand why it didn't work.

I have now a phone from Australia apparently and kies is not very helpful. I already have the BTU ELLA update but I'm not sure if it would work flashing that with odin. In the past it didn't work and I had to reflash the correct update.

Am I supposed to flash more than just the PDA?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
No, just place the correct rom in PDA and flash it. The phone however has a specific sales code and if the installed firmware differs from the device`s country code Kies will not support updates. Only if you have the correct regional rom for your S3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
Thanks.

In the past I had used a BTU Tom instead of the vodafone specific on a i9300 and it had lost the notification bar and touzhwiz crashed.

Once I installed the vodafone specific rom it went back to normal.

I have now come across the ELLA update on a Australian import s3 and just flashed it with kies. Trouble I have with that now is that the bottom shortcuts somehow are stuck and wont be replaced. I will try and reflash the rom tomorrow with odin and if it doesn't work I'd like to try the international version of 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Did you wipe your device after flashing the firmware?

Some carriers do only than little modifications to the device and may cause incompatibilites with the standard roms.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
How do I do a complete wipe?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Go to settings, backup and restore and do a data facory reset.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
Ah you mean a factory data reset.

When I do that the australian version adds 2 apps which are easily removed and I cannot see anything else there. I also have another issue.

Odin 3.04 does not see my phone. Only odin 1.85 can.

But even that version says that the md5 file I downloaded from sammobile is invalid.

I am going to try this with mobile odin
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
Right

Tried the btu version with mobile odin and again have the same issue. Notification panel is gone and the touchwiz doesn't work properly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You have to reset after you flashed the rom. Did you reset the flash counter with Triangle Away?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
Update

Retried the btu md5 but selected to wipe data and cache from mobile odin pro.

It seems to be working now

[Motorola Photon 4G] fage88:
Hello Everyone, I have a question that might be a bit of a noob question.

Can I take a NANDROID back up from one photon (namely the System.img file) and flash it onto a different photon?

The reason I ask this is because the last time I bricked my photon I was unable to SBF back no matter what version I used. I tried everything and I eventually stumbled upon this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1798145 and was able to get my phone running again. However, my phone runs like absolute CRAP now. Its really embarassing when people see my phone struggle.

My brother has a photon too. Unrooted untouched fresh. I was hoping if i rooted his phone and made a NANDROID back up I could take the files and flash it onto mine and get back to a point where I atleast have a phone that works reasonably well.

Thank you,

-Jeff

[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
It's possible, the display glass is glued to the digitizer. And unless your good with a heat gun I wouldn't try it, you could end up breaking the digitizer

you need to buy the glass and digitizer as a whole unit and replace it. Replacing the whole unit is not hard.

[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
My question is more why would one want to transfrom his/her E971/E973 into a nexus 4 when you can run nexus 4 rom natively* ? This give you less functionnality than having the stock rom installed and it's pretty stupid to accept 8GB storage when you can have 32.

*Roms must be flashed with by-name in updater script and not with partition number. The kernel must be modified to change a few that were changed for nexus 4. User experience may vary. Please be cautious if you plan on flashing nexus 4 roms, overwriting rpm partition (mmcblk0p7) with something else will end in a perma brick. I can't be held responsible for any damage.
[LG Optimus G (International)] bleached45:
Pretty sure it is only for the E970 (the LS970s can do it too, but it hasn't been released for it).

Right now the E970s can't flash anything but their own kernels and haven't been able to get any non LG based ROMS completely functional yet.

I believe it is too much to lose/too risky, but others just want the ROMs.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jayochs:
anyone else have one like this that when you grab a certain way at the top, it actually feels like the entire body is shifting? like as if something is loose?

on many of teh GS3's i've noticed this. both of mine have it, but my boss's doesn't. I checked one in stock, it doesn't either.

the reason?

the battery compartment. on some GS3's (majority of what i've seen, actually) the battery compartment is like, a hair too big for the battery. therefore, when you grab the phone a certain way, the battery is actually popping out and moving a bit! this causes a weird body-shift.

some GS3's battery compartments are perfect size, and they're nice and snug on the battery (like my boss's) and there's no body shift.

so i took just a tiny piece of paper, not even folded, and i put one piece between the battery and the side on the left towards the top, and then on the top. no more body shifting!
