The customer is always right...

Sorry about your shattered screen. that's rough. hope I can offer some insight on your warranty situation:

You have two angles of attack:

1. Go in with your tail tucked between your legs, and pray for the best possible outcome. If the outcome is less than optimal, follow step 2:

2. Argue pleasantly, until you're satisified.

That said, at&t is usually pretty good with succumbing to "motivated" customers. I've always tried, and with great sucess, gotten all of my replacements by contacting them through e-mail or phone (and a few times at the service centers). My own personal experience has lead me to believe, if you go in, they're more likely to scrutinize you, your credability and your story and stick you with the least desirable option. My brother-in-law is a very "motivated" customer, and has almost always been "satisifed" by at&t (that's what she said) (shattered screens, water submersion, etc).

And as far as relocking\returning to stock, again, IME, I've only had them check my device for root/BL tampering twice, and they simply checked to see if their was a stock recovery. And I think it was only because the kid was knowledgable enough to know how to check. Otherwise, I've always gotten the impression the sales person doesn't know how to check for evidence of a tampered device.

If Steps 1 and 2 fail, try droping the, ETF-bomb. "How much is my Early Termination Fee?" In my experience, they always come back with good news from their supervisor. YMMV. And just as an FYI, when I have dropped the ETF-bomb, I had legitmately wanted to end my service; I wasn't threatening.

Good luck and hope some of this was useful to you! like I said, YMMV. :)

PS. If you go into one service center and they give you your options, that doesn't stop you from leaving with your device and getting a "second opinion" from another, possibly more agreeable service center. And then if you care to, as a last resort, you can always try contacting them through e-mail\phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisryn:
Good advice all the way around, all though not too sure about ETF because I'm still on my new contract 14 days. Not sure how they would take that. I also thought about see what Walmart would do since that is where the phone was purchased do to pricing. With the screen not sure how they would handle that can't find anything on the web about the return policy for store bought phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nespid:
Well then, you just opened up your options - try a bunch of different Wal-marts. One of them is bound to have a lackluster employee who doesn't care, and just wants to go back to doing nothing - find that guy\gal and bring home your new N2.

If there is no physical damage to the body of the phone, you have better support to your story that the screen was flawed. I would really fight that point, that the screen was flawed.

Honestly, they don't have a leg to stand on, if there is no physical evidence to the body of the phone that it was "accidental damage", and they're not going to call you a liar (at least not to your face). With all of this, keep in mind to "argue" as politely as possible, but be persistent. Wear them down and get to yes! Illegitimi non carborundum.

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

And yeah, as far as the ETF-bomb, it may not help if you're only 14 days into your contract. I've been with at&t since 2002 and I have 3 lines, so, that may factor in on their decision with the ETF-bomb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisryn:
I was with att for ten years when they decided to move out my upgrade date out of now where claiming it was because of a data overage. I was out of contract ready for renewal the didn't give a S*** about me canceling. I went to Verizon and it was a nightmare had 4 gig limit and they where charging me overage at 3.5 gig. Fought with them for about 3 months before I was able to use breach in contract with a supervisor to get out with out a ETF. Now I'm back at ATT and had this happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nespid:
Plan B

thaaaaat sucks.

Move out your upgrade date because of data overage? weird. that makes no sense to me.

Here's a possible option: it's $200 and you have to return your current device or, is it $200 for a new device and you keep your shattered device? If it's the latter, then possibly sell the current N2 as-is on eBay\craigslist and use that money to purchase replacement? I am inclined to believe it is probably $200 + returning current N2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisryn:
The said thing about the overage was it was due to their lack luster dsl department getting our dsl turned on at the new house. Seemed that the old tenant had some cheap phone service and never turned it off. They wanted $800.00 to run new lines. So we where using phones as all internet for a month. I'm pretty sure that I will have to return device, once the other comes in. I'm going to try walmart first, then if that doesn't work see if I can talk the deductible down on the att insurance and hope its not a refurbished. I have had to many android and iphones(wife) that have been through three young boys with out damage and this one damages so easy. Either way new device will not be fully used till it is safe in a case then still treated like a baby.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nespid:
Bonne chance!

sounds good to me.

good luck and let me know what you worked out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kiltedthrower:
Re: [Q] Broken Glass, ATT insurance, matters of opinion

I didn't see this mentioned but I recommend getting the insurance protection from Best Buy. You can still get it even if you don't get the phone from Best Buy. You can pay one flat fee to cover the year or pay $7 a month.

They will replace your phone at no extra cost for physical or water damage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisryn:
Very much aware of that. Had it on my Galaxy nexus gave it to my mom she dropped it hard cracked the screen now she is waiting for her refurb to come in. They told me it was replaced at the store when I brought it in, with new unit. I have had to loan her my inspire while she waits 5-10 days for the other to come in. Not really satisfied with that plan either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kiltedthrower:
Re: [Q] Broken Glass, ATT insurance, matters of opinion

That's weird. I've had to have 3 devices replaced through best buy over the last couple of years. I've never had to wait more than 3 days. I Also like that you get a loaner phone till the replacement comes in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisryn:
I asked for a loaner they said they don't do that.

Edit: Hoping my inspire doesn't suffer same fate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cold21blooded:
Re: [Q] Broken Glass, ATT insurance, matters of opinion

I'm actually a manager at a best buy mobile.. We are supposed to supply loaners if we have them with a $50 deposit that you get back when your phone comes back in.. Some stores don't charge that even though they should.. For android devices the insurance is $9.99 a month or $169.99 for 2 years.. Everything is covered except lost or stolen.. Which we do have a free app called locked and found that will let you lock your phone out if it is lost or stolen. It will take pictures with the front facing camera and email them to you with a location.. The best part is there are unlimited claims and no deposit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisryn:
They wouldn't even let me talk to a mobile associate had to talk to GEEK SQUAD, sometimes I wonder the requirements for Geek squad hiring, Guy didn't know anything. Nothing against Best Buy just had bad experience mobile wise here. Best buy is my favorite store, Been platinum reward member for 8 years now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cold21blooded:
Re: [Q] Broken Glass, ATT insurance, matters of opinion

I get that a lot with complaints from the big box stores.. Next time try a best buy mobile store.. It's a more one on one experience and we usually know a little more
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisryn:
I would but we don't have those here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrawer:
You should not be concerned AT ALL that you may get a refurbished phone. I've done it couple of times and the phone is always perfect brand new condition. It's not like it will have scuffs on it or non-working parts....not to worry.

Also don't need to reset your phone to stock...you're getting it replaced due to broken screen not complaints that it is not functioning.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Mryella:
Hey guys,

So my problem is this, while using the phone sometimes it will randomly reboot. However its not a full reboot it only takes about 4 seconds to start back up, I get a black screen the the lg startup boot logo then I'm at the log in screen. I've rooted and unlocked bootloader however I have not installed any roms, I'm on rogers and have not done the update they came out with.

The frequency at which the phone does this is about once per week.

I'm somewhat of a noob so if you guys have some advice for me please try and explain it a little more fully than normal.

Thank you
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
happens to me as well from time to time
[LG Optimus G (International)] xxbeanxx:
Same here although the frequency of reboots has decreased drastically lately. I haven't had a reboot in over a month.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
you on the "e" ota update?
[LG Optimus G (International)] xxbeanxx:
No. 10h. This update didn't completely fix the reboots; I had several right after installing the update. Not sure why the reboots stopped, but I'm happy now.
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
There's no H for Rogers E971.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
this happens to me too. I am rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, so I can't do the OTA update.

it's not really a big deal considering how fast this thing reboots.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanNoe:
Update - While holding power button and volume up then letting go of volume up after

2 or 3 seconds while both screen black or on first boot screen for a nano second I

get a standing up android with blue atoms going around it's stomach. then goes

onto the lying down android with red triangle. Will I need to insert an sd card with some

kind of software downloaded on it for this whole format to work?

Here's all the problems. Woke up in morning and tablet chose to be stuck on 'android' animated(shine effect going across 'Android')

boot screen. I have made no modifications to the files etc, just stopped working.

To help you maybe know what tablet i got here are the two boot screens:

(Well i would post images if the forum didn't have silly restrictions on it)

#1

s9.postimage.org/7e6ws3f73/CIMG3093.jpg

#2

s8.postimage.org/4xsov8n8l/CIMG3094.jpg

Anyway looked all over the net and the seen power button & volume key and it doesn't work. Here's what I get and what i tried.

#1 (tried both volume key plus and minus button)

Hold volume and power button until first screen

appears then next let go of power button but still holding

volume key just goes and get stuck at 'android logo' screen.

(I have also carried on holding power button through to second load screen too.

But! Holding down power button and volume up button until 1st screen with tiny

little android in circle then releasing power button takes me to the green android lying down

with red triangle

#2 (tried both volume key plus and minus button)

Hold power button until first screen appears

then next hold volume key and still holding

volume key but release power button just goes and get stuck at 'android logo' screen.

(I have also carried on holding power button through to second load screen too.)

Basically to cut it short I have looked via google search and come across plenty of forums

and tried to access the screen which lets me format the device but so far has become uncessesful

I hope the images help you know which device I have and also the photo of the tablet it's self to help you know

(it has no buttons on it except the power and volume key and has no small(tiny) or big reset button to press

from what I can tell.

(Again i would post an image here too if it didn't have silly restrictions)

Hello!

I have read many threads with similar problem. But I don't fing there a solution.

Some days ago I've changed my Android from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 . And here we start. 2 hours later after flashing I noticed that my phone can did only emergence calls, Imei is 004....., and S/N is 00000000.

Now i have normal IMEI. But still have "Only emergence calls" and S/N 00000000.

[Asus Transformer TF700] hx4700 Killer:
Due to its small size I assume the new update to 10_4_4_25 is still the same 3.1.10 kernel? Can someone check their settings/about section that has updated and confirm that?

I just compiled some drivers and this source is not out so I don't want to break what I just fixed by updating. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
EDIT: Just heard from sdbags that the kernel was changed in .25 version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes don't know what as of yet. I did a binary compare and there are more than a few lines different between the the .23 kernel and the .25 kernel. However they have the same file size ..... :eek: That could just mean an offset or they moved some modules around. Need to do some more work first to confirm.

Update - 10.4.4.25 boots and seems to work fine with the old kernel. Will check versions now :) BTW your screen shot is too small to read.

Here is the one in 10.4.4.23

Defo a new kernel - minor change though. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] hx4700 Killer:
Lol, I think that last shot sums it up for me:

the version string has "android@uranus" in it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Droid Premium:
I was browsing the Android Development thread for ROMs to flash and i found this one. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2080966

It says it has an LTE build. Does that mean if i install this ROM i will have LTE? And if so do i run off of AT&T towers?

Also it says no SD card will work with CM10. They say there is a fix. I can't seem to find it. So if you could please give me a link or a tutorial on how to fix the SD card issue on CM10 that would be awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ronin178:
For the sd card, you just have to have it formatted to fat32, the rom doesn't support anything else...and not sure about the lte, but seeing as how t-mobile has only rolled out lte in Vegas, doubt this would enable it...someone using the rom would need to come in on that, or better yet, you can read the thread to familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of the rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Will of fire:
Wondering the same thing too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] braintez:
If the ROM also includes the modem.bin file, it's a possibility. But am not willing to check since the path back would be painful.

There are other efforts circulating about LTE-beta testing in both Kansas City and Las Vegas. Waiting to see the results of those before considering this alternative.

I guess you have to choose between the devil and a hard place with TeamEOS JellyBean ROMS. I have a Verizon 3G Xoom, and it seems I can choose between wifi or 4G or Euro 3G. Well I would like to have wifi and Verizon 3G, but it doesn't seem possible.

Going to TeamEOS's site I follow links to the roms themselves, but there is no indication of how to decode the secret name of my device.

Amazingly there is no explanation in the OPs for these ROMs.

And IRC is dead.

I didn't understand well your question, but I will put here the name of all devices:

Wingray - Wifi only Xoom (Grey back)

Stingray - Verizon Xoom (If I'm not wrong black back)

It looks like your is a MZ600, that was called Stingray before the 4g update, I'm not sure if you can flash the 4g ROM as you're on 3g, but you can try and tell if worked or not, if it doesn't work flash back another ROM ;)

Good luck :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quantumstate:
Thank you. I was being a bit sarcastic, in my frustration.

So Stingray will allow wifi -and- 3g to work on the US Verizon Xoom? It appears that Stingray is only for 4G?

Looks like I can't go back, as stingray_cdma no longer exists.

Is there anything that doesn't work with this ROM? wifi teathering?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Well, sorry but that I don't know... I have a MZ605 which is the same as MZ601, and have no idea about the stingray... Why don't you find someone with the same device and ask this person ;)

My son gave me the Xoom, and I don't know how long he's had it. I am not using the 3G, but if I sell it I'd like to at least have it available.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468298

That is XxLordxX's One stop shop tool for the xoom. It unlocks and relocks the bootloader, It root's, unroots.. etc. etc.

If you aren't using the 3g, you CAN just flash a wifi ROM, and it will work. You would need the original image or a ROM that supports 3g to restore it. If you unlocked and rooted, then installed a recovery, and performed a backup of your xoom on the stock ROM before changing it... you would be fine if you wanted to sell it. Restore the original stock image then unroot and relock the bootloader.

Thanks but no idea what to do with that. I don't have CWM so can't install it that way. It won't work with adb or fastboot. No idea what version it is, or whether it will work with current ROMs.
