[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
Here we go again...

3:45pm: Called Samsung.

3:50pm: Reached the Nexus department.

3:55pm: Hung up on me after reading them my serial number. Was asked if I was sure there's no scratches or anything on the lens- more than a fair question. About to call back.

I will NEVER buy Samsung again, nor will I EVER recommend their products again.

UPDATE: 3:58pm: Reached someone who I have to repeat everything twice to, does NOT transfer me to Nexus department. I smell trouble.

3:59pm: He has transferred me.

UPDATE: 4:03pm: Transferred again. Idiot transferred me to Home APpliances. Now with the 'carrier tablet department'. FML.

UPDATE: 4:06pm: Transferred to the general Android department. They just told me I'm in the wrong department but they'll TRY to help me.

4:09pm: She's looking up my previous ticket numbers.

UPDATE: 4:11pm: I have been placed on hold by the poor girl who gets to bear my polite, professional wrath. She is finding out what she can do for me.

UPDATE: 4:17pm: I have been told to call Google to get it replaced or repaired... Here goes that.

UPDATE: 4:31pm: "Because Google does not a---ize customer support at this time..." Broken up recording I can half-understand telling me I can't call this number I was given. Time to call up Samsung and demand a supervisor.

UPDATE: 4:36pm: Getting a 'warm transfer' after I explain the fun I've had today and over the last month with this forsaken tablet.

UPDATE: 4:53pm: Was told to call Google, they do the hardware repair. Got rather snarky and pointed out that Google has OFFICIALLY stated that Samsung is the OEM and responsible for repairs, and needs to stop sending people to Google. Finally got an overnight shipping label for repair number three.

I must admit the build quality is poor.

The back of my nexus doesn't feel like it stuck on properly and it clicks every time I put pressure on it.

Googles probably not going to work with Samsung next time lol. I haven't had any problems with mine but I hope they team up with Sony next time because I like their products or maybe log since the nexus 4 turned out pretty amazing though I haven't seen any log tablets but if I have problems with my tablet and I purchased it from a store (samsclub) would I go there it call Samsung. Just for future reference bevause so far my nexus has been working great; :D

I know it sounds wrong, but you can always purchase a Nexus 10 from Staples and return yours in its place. Don't buy the extended plan or anything. They do not put serial numbers on the reciept.

I know ethically it isn't the 'correct' thing to do, but buying a product and getting jerked around for a valid issue is not right either.
[Nexus 10 General] plznote:
What did Staples ever do to him or you? Why let them take the loss?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 10 General] altimax98:
Staples doesn't take a loss, it gets sent to Samsung for a defect. I didn't say it was a good solution, or a moral one... But it was a solution nonetheless.
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
Yes, Staples just gets a free replacement. Their staff is paid hourly labor to process this for you, but should be approx .5 hour= $10. So just buy a couple things from them you would need anyways, then they make their $10 back.

No one issaying this is the preferred way, but private party shpould not be out $500 and hes more than been patient w/Samsung!

And to be honest, maybe Staples/Walmart see this trend, then ask Samsung, "why you can't help purchasing public out?", and Staples asking carry a lot more weight than just individual users!
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
I won't do that on principal (which goes into my politics/philosophies), but I may go to them and talk to them today about that. See if they won't take sympathy on me, or help me out here, if it doesn't come back fixed. I'd say 'more than patient' with Samsung is a serious understatement. I'm going to look into my state's lemon laws if its not fixed this time, as I may be able to force them into refunding me. Sadly, I'll probably just resign myself to something else if I get a refund. The Asus TF700 looks good.
[Nexus 10 General] NickTheMajin:
Don't get the TF700 this late in the game. I'd look into Microsoft tablets, the iPad or perhaps waiting for a new tablet from Asus. There is also the Samsung Galaxy line of tablets which have significantly better build quality and quality control than the Nexus 10 in my experience.
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
Surface Pro and other x86 tabs are what I'd get if I went MS. iPad, won't use. First thing I do is wipe a device and put custom software/keyboards on. Refuse to buy Samsung ever again. If it didn't seem so far fetched, I'd suspect Samsung of sabotaging the Nexus 10.

If I can get a refund, I may just wait til the next round of tabs comes out, especially from Asus, as they were my first choice.
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
What about the Xperia z tablet? It looks great and I probably would ha ave chosen it if I wasnt so impatient. But I haven't had any problems worth my nexus though when I bought it the package want sealed. It hasn't passed 20 Davis yet stop im going to switch it since it wouldn't have been bought if the seal was broken. Im about to complain about it since I think they did it on purpose

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
XPeria Z is one of my considerations. IF I get a refund.
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
Update: They received my tablet at about 5:10pm EST last night. Still have not heard anything new after that.
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
Still no update. North Carolina has lemon laws about this sort of thing, if I give them reasonable amounts of time to fix the device. Problem is, I don't wanna force Staples to pay for trouble they didn't cause, and I think I'd have to go after them, not Samsung.
[Nexus 10 General] BlobLobba:
It's a moral dilemma for you, no doubting that, but surely if Staples doesn't help you after going in there and telling them about it then your conscience is clear regarding using the lemon law. Ultimately it's about how much of your time they will continue to consume.

I take it regarding the issue, that you have taken into account any radio interference you maybe suffering from in your location, did the device perform the same way at other locations?
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
Yes. All issues occur regardless of location. :( Still no news from Samsung

I expect to call Samsung back shortly and just demand a refund.
[Nexus 10 General] zoomy942:
Oh my god......
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
With all the trouble you went through a refund is definitely the right choice. Even if it actually was fixed I'd be too annoyed to keep it. Wait until end of may and get a tablet z. Sony has much better service. When Verizon messed up an update for the xperia play Sony replaced the phones for people without any trouble.

[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
Which is a shame, I really loved the tablet itself except for its flaws but Samsung has ruined this device for me.
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
Got it back... I... Am speechless.

The dust in the camera is gone. Great.

The touch screen? Still spotty multitouch. Can someone with a 100% funcitonal multitouch help me here? Using a tester (or Dev Options/Show Touches), can you touch the screen with 4+ fingers at once and try to move them after? With mine, the touches show then vanish. Is this normal behavior? Because my Acer a500 took all 10 smoothly and I wanna know if this is just me being paranoid.
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
Well on mine the most fingers I can use to actually move the screen and touch things is three(I think). It doesn't recognize more than that but I'll test with touch showing and tell you later.

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
Tested for you, you are right that it's wrong, I think.

I touched w/4 then drug from top to bottom all 4 drug w/me. Took jpg while dragging.
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
Does it work every time, and with up to 10 fingers? If I touch one at a time, it'll sometimes work, but all four at once, and then dragging breaks.
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
I was doing 4 at once, about5 trys, each worked. I'm not dexterous enough for much more than 4 though :)

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

6 at once seemed reliable too
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
Yep I tested and got the same results. I guess I just never used more than 3 at once before

Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
Yeah, me too. In fact today was the first legit need I'd had for three, shamefully enough!

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

It's worth verifying that you're doing it correct. I have to drag ata certain speed to see the dots, other wise my fingers hide my view.

Edit: but I guess if you did it on another tablet then unlikely it's a mistake
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
I'm just so tired of this phone bullcrap they keep putting me through, I'm seriously debating if its even a point worth contending over,because I'm not even sure I'd have good odds of getting a refund via Samsung over this.
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
I haven't ever seen a need for more than three, I'm sure it would never be an issue :)
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
At this point, its a matter of principle. I bought what should've been a working device, and they have not fixed it, in addition to attempting to warranty dodge on at least one occasion (one of the three attempts I'll attribute to tech ignorance and not an actual attempt).

On the other hand, the odds of it ever being fixed are almost nil, since they've 'fixed' it 3 times now. At least the power issue is gone, the dust in the camera is gone, and the back no longer 'pops'. Because warranties do not provide for refunds, I'd probably have to go through weeks of arguments for my $500 and I'd get it from Staples, who has done no wrong.

I may just cave and keep it.
[Nexus 10 General] bigmatty:
You could at least keep it for now, knowing the touch screen thing won't hinder your usage, then maybe try another repair attempt at a later date. That way you can resume using it!
[Nexus 10 General] BlobLobba:
Did you try doing the same on a demonstration model in a store?

No way an app is causing it?
[Nexus 10 General] dibblebill:
On four different ROMs and stock? The last of which had just come back from Samsung? Hadn't even set up my Google account yet. Not likely.

Bump, Update to SaberKernel 16, and added poll.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] XERO_Racer:
to be honest there isnt really a clear winner

it all comes down to personal preference and how its all tweaked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
Try each and see what you prefer... Simple as that.I will say... Stock cannot compare to either.

Mac
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] onecrzyasian:
See this is where lots and lots of debate can happen. For me stock gives me the best battery and performance wise it's about the same as the other kernels. Perseus has so many options and tweaks it's useful. Then saber has a lot of good reviews on being the smoothest. I tried them all and am sticking to the stock one on sky note rom. Seems the best for me. (best for me not best kernel, so like others said, try it)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chris.l.naish:
I'm interested to see the responses...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigystyle84:
I've used all 3 and prefer SaberKernel

I also use SOAPKernel on Rootbox a lot too (I switch between the 2 roms) and it's also excellent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
Everyone's phone operates a little different, ,so everyone's milage will vary with each.

While one kernel may offer you the fastest speed. .another may offer you a better color rendition on your screen.

In other words. .there isn't a "best choice" for everyone.

As easy as it is to switch. .use them all and choose what works best for you.

Mac
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigystyle84:
I just switched back to Persues for a while for comparison :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darthwar:
Didn't mean which is best...

Hi everyone,

I've personally stuck with Perseus as I have enjoyed the battery life and speed of my device with it on.

I never meant for this to be a which kernel is best thread, but as a comparison of features thread. Not that I want to deter anyone from telling everyone else what their favorite kernel is and why though.

I've enjoyed reading everyone's responses so let's keep this thread alive and tell everyone your opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 9wire:
Sabre wouldn't let me oc the gpu with a script, and I like to play with all the goodies in s-tweaks. Been on Perseus since the first release, maybe I'm just brand loyal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blue1k:
Perseus has fantastic screen calibration options. Fixes the oversaturation and color balance of my note 2. Photo colours are now accurate.

Battery is awesome for me too. I'm on perseus 34.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigystyle84:
Switched back to Saber

Probably going back to SOA/Soap soon as I miss it.

Anyways, I still feel Saber is more smooth/fluid than Perseus. Guess its just me. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] _g6_:
I've been using Perseus on BeansROM (now on b14), and have had great success. Battery life has been great (up until recently...not sure what that's all about), and it's been pretty snappy. I switched to Saber last night when I flashed Beans b14, and flashed the Perseus back this morning because, while Saber was speedy enough for me, I missed the combined speed and battery from Perseus.

That's my .02 ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
Hey. I need some help.

My phone doesn't pass the Google screen.

The device worked after installing JellyBam 6.6 and everything was great.

I turned it off after restoring few apps from TB, and then it didn't turned on to the ROM.

Before installing I wiped cache, devlik and data.

I can get to fastboot mod and from there to the recovery (TWRP 2.4.3.0).

Also I can use the toolkit.

What should I do??

It happend to my friend and he told me he wiped everything and installed stock,

but I don't want to format the internal storage as he did.

Should I just install the ROM again, backup and install another ROM?

Should I wipe system?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you restored system apps from TiBu, which is a bad idea.

reflash the rom/gapps then restore your data, but do not restore system apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
I didn't restore many system apps.

I think only the clock, some app that I made as system one (Notification Toggle), the launcher,

Time zone and few minor things like thats.

Now I wiped cache, devlik and data again.

Should I just install the ROM now or should I wipe system before? (TWRP says it's inly wipe the ROM)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rittik:
You have the rom in sd rite?

So just go to recovery abd wipe cache and data and system.

After that make a fresh install of the ROM. Let it boot up.

-Rik[Rittik]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
doesnt matter. you restored system apps which can cause problems

wipe, reflash rom, restore only non-system apps/data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Just do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and flash the ROM then the Gapps and reboot. You may not even need the factory reset though. Try without it first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
Already did factory reset..

What is system reset and when I need to use it?

If it's wiping the rom, shouldn't it done before changing one?

OH, I just realized I deleted the ZIP file from my device. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I've never done a system wipe. But I assume it wipes EVERYTHING. Meaning if you do that, you better flash something right after so you have something to boot to. Otherwise it will never boot and you will have to hook it up to a computer and flash a stock image and start over. I dont know if wiping the system will wipe your SD card as well. If all you did was changes some system apps and data around then a simple re-flash of the ROM should fix it. If its not then I'm going to say that there is something else wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
I don't have to ROM.zip on my device.

Can I somehow do this using Fastboot Mode and my PC?

I tried with OTG and DOK but it's not working :X
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
boot into recovery and use adb to push the rom to your device.

adb push c:\yourlocationofrom\rom.zip /sdcard/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
Okay, I did it, but I can't find the file..

It says that the file passed..

I did "adb push D:/JellyBam.zip \sdcard\"

Where did the file moved to?

OK, got it!

I tried again with upsided / \ and it works.

THANKS A LOT!

working :)

So I shouldn't restore any system app?

Not even data?

And what about SMS, data usage and stuff like that?

Apps that I made as system app (Like notification toggle)

Launcher??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
It depends on what ROM you were on when you made the backup. Are you coming from a different ROM? Because thats when you should NOT restore system stuff. Thats like trying to add stuff to the system that is not meant for the ROM. It doesnt take that long to set up all your settings manually. I would just stay away from restoring system stuff with Titanium Backup. There are apps that backup and restore your sms messages in the Play Store that work well. What launcher are you wanting to restore? If you made any app a system app previously, I would just restore it as a user app and THEN make it a system app again. Dont restore it directly as a system app. And before you do anything, make a backup of your ROM so you dont have to go through all this again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
I restored few things, but Data only.

Now there isn't a problem.

THANKS again for helping :)
[HTC One X] livin.legend:
I have a One X S720e, CID_J15

I recently upgraded the hboot to 1.39, and since the update the phone has been going crazy. First installed a IceColdJelly 2.5.1 ROM. And after installing Gapps everything was okay at first but 5min into usage everything started FCing. starting from com.google.process to the launcher to every single application. And this just keeps happening. I ran a super wipe script installed other ROMS including the CM 10.1 and same issue kept happening.

After a day of this, the phone randomly started turning off and got stuck in APX mode. I managed to get out by holding power button and vol up + vol down for 40+ sec. The phone runs for a bit, boots into ROM, works for some time as long as no app is run. If i open ANY app at all, again the FC starts and eventually the phone reboots into the APX mode again.

Frustrated, i ran another Super Wipe Script, again tried to install the HBOOT 1.39 update, and then installed the STOCK ROM for a nandroid backup i had. But the same thing keeps happening. All apps force closing. So basically i cant use the phone.

PLEASE HELP ME. Anyone have any ideas whats wrong ? or could it be a hardware issue ? should i relock the bootloader and send it to a HTC service center ??
[HTC One X] Bram89:
You did flash the boot.img for every specific ROM right?

I think if you send it to HTC they will charge you for the full repair service, which WILL cost you a lot of money.

Got no further solution for you buddy, good luck. Hope you can fix it before sending it to HTC
[HTC One X] livin.legend:
yup. Done evreything by the book. flashed all the boot.img files. The ROMs boot perfectly, just that after a while while im installing apps and or doing ANYTHING everything starts crashing.

My phone is still in warranty though. I read that if the phone goes into APX mode its usually a hardware problem. My question is why did the problem arise only after i updated the HBOOT. everything was just fine till then. I hope this issue is covered in warranty :'(
[HTC One X] Johannn90:
i have exactly the same problem!!

What you say, sometimes it will work for 5 minutes. But when you open an application it will force close and all the applications will start FCing.

Did you already solve the problem?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
APX is a hardware defect ..... not much to do about that.
[HTC One X] lms24:
I have exactly the same problem! It all started with ICJ: gapps and almost all other apps started FCing after some time. After dozens of hard reboots I got stuck in APX mode. At least that's what I think. My PC recognized the device as "unknown devices", the screen was black, adb and fastboot didn't work. I managed to get out by pressing the power button + volume up/down for many seconds... I flashed numerous Roms in the past days and I always get the same FCs (especcially Gapps) - doesn't matter if it is a sense or an AOSP based ROM. So is this a hardware probelm? Is there any way I can solve it? If I send my HOX to HTC I'll most probably need to pay right?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Said it already ....
[HTC One X] lms24:
sh*t Already thought so :P

so basically we're f*cked...
