[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] davemazo:
Thanks mate, I`ve heard that before. The first "repair" was by Orange, all they did was look at it. The second "repair" was done at a local Samsung repair shop, all they did was update software which I had already done to 4.1.2. The third "repair" was done by a repair centre designated as "Level 3" by the aforementioned shop, which I believe is in Norwich. So I`m not sure if the first 2 repairs will count towards Samsungs definition of 3 repairs.

I`ve just spoken to them and another return envelope is on its way to me. I`ve had this piece of junk now for 3 months and I am seriously getting cheesed off, thank God for my old HTC Sensation
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Raistlin1158:
Go back to Orange and quote :

Under the Sale of Goods Act goods must be:

•as described

•of satisfactory quality

•fit for purpose - this means both their everyday purpose, and also any specific purpose that you agreed with the seller (for example, if you specifically asked for a printer that would be compatible with your computer)

Goods sold must also match any sample you were shown in-store, or any description in a brochure.

Under the Sale of Goods Act, the retailer must either repair or replace the goods 'within a reasonable time but without causing significant inconvenience'.

If the seller doesn't do this, you're entitled to claim either:

• a reduction on the purchase price, or

• your money back, minus an amount for the usage you've had of the goods (called recision)

If the retailer refuses to repair the goods, and they won't replace them either, you may have the right to arrange for someone else to repair your item, and then claim compensation from the retailer for the cost of doing this.

I'm also not pleased by the WiFi performance of my i9305. When I'm like 4-5 feet away from the router, there is no problem connecting. However, when I'm like 15-20 feet away, I get the error "incorrect password" "authentication error occurred". Very strange ! What's more, when I connect to the WiFi near the router, I can move around all the rooms and still have a stable connection.

Tried already :

flashing new custom Roms

the forget and reconnect trick

*#0011# trick

deleting the .cid.info in the data directory

For the rest, I'm quite satisfied of my i9305 (previous phone was an iPhone 4)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] davemazo:
Thanks again mate.

I went back to Orange about 4 weeks ago after their abysmal attempt at repairing it. Had some strong words with somebody in a repair centre over the phone there. Despite the shop manager agreeing with me that it was faulty all they would do was repair it again. Thats when I decided to bypass the monkeys and go to the organ grinder ie Samsung, but I don`t seem to be having much luck with them either yet.

I`m not letting this go. Both Orange and Samsung will be getting a strongly worded letter from me soon. I may even contact my credit card company and try to claim a refund from them.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] stigdu:
Definitely sounds like a problem with that particular phone.

I used to have an S2, and when I was in the bedroom, about 15 feet away from the router in the living room (through a wall), it wouldn't ever connect to Wifi.

With my new S3, it connects every time, so I'm really impressed with the power of the WiFi in it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] vasp3690:
The orange repair attempt doesn't count unless they sent it to samsung. Any samscung repair shop is counted as a repair attempt even if a guy just looks at the phone and gives it back to you saying its ok.

Call customer service and let them know and through 'mu samsung' make sure that you intent following the more recent attempt they will do, if the phone is not satisfactory you will initiate the sequence of a replacement. They told me in the past that customer service reviews all communication and they decide what needs to happen. They even may have to have the phone checked independently.

On a similar matter I had I didn't end up replacing mine because I eventually sold it. Although I could have gotten a new phone for a problem that even samsung was not aware that its a firmware problem!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Snowstormzzz:
I'm thinking that the Android has a problem with WiFi authentication. Try unprotecting your wifi for a bit and see if it connects.

If it does, use WPA2-Personal. It's decent enough defense for home which means the data is easier for the phone to read.

Reading the google thread about how some people can get WiFi working on McDonalds and Hospitals (public places) seems to me that they have set their home security networks a little too strong, and the phone isn't working well enough to handle this issue.

Which is annoying, really.

Of course, if it doesn't even connect even if you have no password on your WiFi, then the WiFi in the phone itself is broken.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] davemazo:
Just checked and mine is already set to wpa-personal but I`ll try later and turn off security altogether and see what happens

EDIT*** Turned off security and it makes no difference

Its going off today for its third repair attempt, the pre paid bag has just arrived, we`ll see what it comes back like. I suspect it will be exactly the same

I need help to know if I unroot will restore my Warranty because I have trouble with charging my Kindle Fire. The only warranty I have is the One-Year Limited Warranty from Amazon.

If your running anything else besides rooted stock include a system wipe to the other scheme of wipes for good measure.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_m128:
when wiping the system, there is a chance to brick your kindle and need a factory cable tho. I've sent two kindles back to amazon for repair/replacement without system wipes and have never had a problem.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

I believe it's happens when you get a bad flash from the amazon stock update. So if you are going to include a system wipe it'd probably be good to verify the md5 from amazon?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TyranaTopherRex:
YES

I think that if you wipe it and unroot then youll be fine Amazons customer service is incredible hahaha, i have bricked mine when i tried to root it for my first time and they sent me a new one at no cost to me hahaha. So yeah i think your good :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Not to argue but unless you incorrectly flash stock there is virtually no risk in wiping the system prior to flashing stock and it certainly won't soft brick it requiring a factory cable. That only happens when you fail to wipe correctly. Anyone who experienced soft brickage after wiping the system and flashing stock messed up somewhere else in the procedure.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_m128:
when you wipe system and you mess something up in a flash (hence why I said a bad flash) , you cannot fix it without a factory cable(when reverting back to stock amazon because it wipes recovery) . i know this for a fact. Thats why i said to make sure you set up "update.zip" properly. And as 99 percent of guides on here for reverting back to stock don;t mention wiping system. I believe it to be an unnecessary step.

Will you not get the exec '/system/bin/sh; failed : no such file or directory error?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
No the error you state will not occur that is the result of a corrupt or missing shell exactly what happens when you fail to wipe correctly. Let me add proper order of wipes helps as well factory reset, cache, dalvik then the system. Always front to back not back to front I'm sure that doesn't require further explanation.

Okay, then but do you know if I will receive another 2ND Gen. Kindle? I really like that Kindle 2 has 1GB of RAM and 1.2Ghz CPU but there isn't much development for it. Do you think the Kindle 2 is much better than the Kindle 1? I ask this question because I heard(or rather read) that some people who send the Kindle for Replacement receive a Kindle 2.

Another thing is that all I have to do is like flashing any ROM but rather the Kindle Update and my Kindle will be unrooted and that's it? Or is there something else because not all the info given is as helpful. But if you need more info about my kindle is as follows:

Current Kindle Fire 1st Gen.

ROM: SmoothRom 1.2

Recovery: Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) 2.2.2.1

Bootloader : FFF v.1.4a

Previous Kindle Update: Kindle Fire ver.6.3.1

Root Status: Permanent Root

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jptech:
http://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-google-nexus-7-refurbished

Can anyone here remember the Nexus 7 being listed at $260?

How about the 16GB version? It's list is now $199. It was $249 at launch, but not now.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
List price is what the manufacturer suggests it should sell for and often has no relation to what it actually sells for. Kind of like the difference between retail price and street price. Sellers often use List price for comparison because it makes their deal look better even though smart people know it never really sold at that price. This groupon deal is bogus. Why would anyone pay $10 less than current selling price just to get a refurbished model with a shorter warranty (most are only 90 days instead of 1 year)? Only an idiot would look twice at that offer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonic:
Groupon is a bunch of liars.

It never listed for $260, certainly not a refurbished model.

I often see their "deals" as sounding much better than what is actually the truth. Every so often when I see some heavily discounted product, I look up how much other sites are selling for. Nine times out of ten, you can buy the exact same thing for LESS than the Groupon price at a name brand retailer.

But in this case, the MSRP claim here is a flat out lie. It was $249 at launch, and is now $199. And just because the MSRP *was* $249 months ago doesn't mean it still is.

I am new to installing custom ROMs on phones, but due to poor customer service from my carrier I don't have much other choice.

S-ON or S-OFF?

if you are S-ON flash 4ext recovery

enable smartflash from it

then immediately flash the rom(i think you have to flash also gapps if you want cyanogenmod rom)

also what do you mean that your hboot version isn't supported by revolution?

you can flash also ARHD rom

[HTC Sensation] cwlovell13:
Thanks All!

Took a couple tries. Finally got it working.

1. Flash ROM (OpenSensation2 - CM10 Mod)

2. Reboot

3. Do original device setup stuff

4. Reboot into Recovery again

5. Flash Gapps

6. Reboot again

7. Setup Google Play Store settings

I was originally trying to flash both the ROM and Gapps and then reboot. Take things one at a time and the end result is much better :)

Now to try CM10 on my N7.

Re: Lime Pie Android 5.0

This version of Android (or forked Amazon OS) will come stock with all Key Lime Pies that you buy from Google Play. It will come rooted, and the Pie will already come with bootloader unlocked. So it is a very developer friendly version of PieDroid.

BTW its editable too. So say you got CyanogenMod 11 (Key Lime Pie) you could turn on the editable feature under Developer options and be able to eat your device.
