[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
HTC and Samsung are the same way. Pretty much any mobile device is required to be serviced in it's country of origin. One reason is ROHS compliance or also known as lead free compliance. While one country might allow items made with lead, other will not. Same goes for the manufacturing. If the device is made in a lead free country then it is fine for both countries. But if it is made in a country that does not enforce lead free than there is a chance that the service companies equipment can can contaminated by the lead in the device.

Other issues in provider exclusivity and other such things. The bottom line is that most mobile devices must be serviced in the country of origin.

Now you could of course just take it to a branch of your provider you bought it from in another country and just exchange it if such an option exist. If not then you will just have to get it serviced in the country you bought it from. That's just they way things are now.

Most of us don't bother with the service. We just take it to our providers and have it exchanged. Let them worry about how to get it serviced.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
Unfortunately, that is quite common practice. Mobile phone is no exception. Here in US, most phones are sold by carrier and serviced by carrier for warranty as well. But there are a few internet shops sell mobile phones imported from Europe. If you buy these phones and need warranty service, you will have to send the phone back to the shop and they in turn send back to Europe for warranty service.

Some companies let you pay extra to have a international warranty (but still have limitations). Some like Pioneer, won't even give you any warranty if you didn't purchase their product from authorized dealers even if you bought in the US.

Warranty is cost and any large corporation will try their best to minimize that cost. Why Nokia should be different?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Vangink:
Phones should become international warranty based. I had same problem with my HTC while in China. Managed to get to HK to a service centre and got reply that it would cost 300 to fix because it was US phone. I feel your pain. Try to buy phone closest to your home country that is easy to ship to.
[Nokia Lumia 920] atsouch:
Because Nokia is a European company and laws in Europe are a bit different... Philips was one of the first companies in the world that supported their products with worldwide warranties.

And all my Thinkpads are covered by worldwide warranty (and service). Because they are business tools for a mobile worker that lives somewhere else every week. I expected the same for business smartphones, especially when some of them cost more than a low-end Thinkpad... And travel more... I'm not complaining about TVs and entertainment systems, washing machines or even cars (although I had a BMW serviced in Switzerland under warranty...)
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Well as much as you would like it to be that way, that is just not the way the mobile market works. They, the mobile manufacturers also do not care how much you spent on their device and they don't care that you feel that cost justifies service globally. They have their money from you buying the device. That is all they care about. If they have to service it, it will cost them money so they are going to make it as hard as possible and as less desirable for you as possible to service it. That is why you exchange it and let the companies duke it out. If you did not buy it from a provider that is global and offers exchanges then this is pretty much your fault and something that you will just have to deal with. That is just the way the mobile market operates. It sees it's products and it's customers as disposable and a dime a dozen. Loose one and another drops right in as this market will always be here.
[Nokia Lumia 920] atsouch:
I know exactly how the market operated and how it operates now. I was for 8 years a Microsoft MVP for Mobile Deevices, founded the largest mobility club in my country 12 years ago, worked directly with operators and OEMs to launch new devices and services, have friends in the R&D of all major companies. Working in US and being a customer of Verizon or AT&T is completely different than our case over there. We travel and work A LOT outside one country and the operators are all operating as a different entity in each country. Nokia was ALWAYS the company that you could rely for total support. That''s why they used to be the leader (by far). Things have changed...
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
There are only a few companies that offer you worldwide warranty and with a lot of those you have to pay extra for it. From what it looks like you won't be able to buy any mobile phones and have worldwide warranty at the moment. So if that is your reason to not go with another Lumia it comes by extension down to not being able to buy any smartphone (as the situation is the same).

I understand that this sucks but it doesn't help to single out Nokia here given that they are pretty much doing the same as everyone else in the industry. Also the title is somewhat misleading given that you DO have warranty for your Lumia phone just that in your situation it's rather difficult to get it to the service center.
[Nokia Lumia 920] atsouch:
I agree with the rest of what you are saying but regarding the warranty issue (which is what I'm complaining about - the device is amazing) my case is not a special case. What I say is that all sales on airports and places where travellers are attracted to buy phones should state CLEARLY that the warranty is only valid in the specific country and service has to be done in a city of that country. A duty free shop doesn't get back a phone so even if you are transit through the same airport again, it's not enough. If this is everybody's policy, then I raise a flag saying that this has to change. We managed to change the charging connector for all companies, we can do this too...
[Nokia Lumia 920] wednesday13:
Same thing with apple. All products have international warranty EXCEPT mobile phones. I do hope they will be the first one to implement this international warranty with mobile phones.

They are doing this to discourage grey market, so what, importer bought it from e.g. NOKIA also, so it's the same sh**.

I didn't see anything in there that would help, I might just see what else I can flash, it's some things in the purelook systemui apk tool can't understand. I managed to decompile a CM systemUI with no problems.

It could even be linked to JKay's framework mods that are included in the rom (I would make my changes with deluxe setting but certain things prevent me buying it just now.)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
If you're just changing png's you could do it with vrtheme.

See if you can decompile the apks from stock MB5???

Although, saying that, it might not be relevant depending on what's jkays mod affects.

Hmm... I'll download the ROM tomorrow and see if I have any joy...

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sathish143:
Hi,

I flashed my GT-p1 to the humberos 4.2.1 JB mod and now the only issue i'm having is that my wifi hotspot keeps changing its name in sequence each time that i connect to the AP via the PC

i.e. Hotspot Name "AP-Home" changes to "AP-Home 1", then "AP-Home 2" then "AP-Home 3" etc...

and each time i have to choose whether its "Home/Office/Public" profile (Windows 7) which is getting so annoying.

I'm on the 42nd name now, i.e. "AP-Home 42" and it keeps asking to choose a profile each time i disconnect & reconnect.

The IP address stays the same each time on the AP (GT-P1 AP)

Any idea's what may cause this problem?

Thx in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackYuseiConan:
I have an I9300 and I've been looking everywhere on how to change the charging speed of the S3 and haven't found anything I'm looking for.

I have used the Siyah Kernel before but it doesn't support 4.2.2. And gokhanmoral, the developer is currently busy or away. But he updated the blog today saying he's made some improvements but he's not releasing the update yet.

So I just want to know if there's any other way I can increase the charging speed on the S3. The Siyah kernel does it by increasing the current. The normal charge speed via AC for the S3 is 1000mA but Siyah kernel lets you increase it to 1200mA. I just want to know if there's another way of doing it in case gokhanmoral goes away again and it's no longer usable on the latest rom etc.

A friend of mine has a Galaxy Nexus and he says he's able to "fast charge" it which sounds like what I'm looking for. Again, I've searched stuff like "Fast Charge for S3" and still found nothing.

Thanks JYC
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Try a different Kernel that supports it. If you use CyanogenMod then you can try Temasek`s Kernel. It let`s you increase or decrease the charging current via S-Tweaks.

Is that the only other kernel that supports it or are there others?

Thanks JYC
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
Boeffla kernel changes the default value to 1100 mAh once flashed (On AC). You can increase it to 1200 mAh on it tweaks app but it's not advisable since it might reduce your battery life and may fry up your usb cable. You can also modify the value of the charging rate for the USB on the tweaks app.

With Siyah kernel this is very simple, you need an app that is called Stweaks, navigate all the options and you will see that in the misc option.

I have applied the HTC screen protector. It is okay but the capacitive buttons seem to have lost sensitivity. The feeling of the surface is okay but not as good as some matt protectors i have used on other devices. Anyone tried any matt or anti glare protector yet?
[One (M7) Accessories] djbenny1:
The HTC screen protector is a complete piece of ****.

It was literally jaw-droppingly bad IMO.

Threw 2 in the bin and got these terrapin ones which are a bit better but still not great. At least they were very cheap
[One (M7) Accessories] Razwaz:
Do the buttons stop working for about 10 seconds with it on? Mine do. However I don't want to take it off and waste it if it's a hardware fault!
[One (M7) Accessories] jah:
No what I found is that I need to select the home button a couple of times sometimes before my touch is detected. It is inconsistent though. I have ordered a matt screen protector which should arrive tomorrow so will switch and see if there is a difference.
[One (M7) Accessories] jadaress1:
Well ive just ordered the glass one from sgp, good idea or not? :confused:
[One (M7) Accessories] jmbillings:
I'm finding the same with the HTC protectors. Home and Back often need a couple of prods to register. Also, I dunno if it was slightly too big by a mm or so, but they don't seal down the edges properly and make it look fugly.

I've ordered some other cheap-brand ones to try with instead...
[One (M7) Accessories] marmankites:
I found the HTC official ones a pile of crap :(

Both ended up in the bin, wouldnt stick at the edges of the phone and were terrible. Amazon UK now has a few bad reviews for them, when I ordered before the phone arrived there were none. Re ordered some others, they can't be worse than the HTC ones
[One (M7) Accessories] Nokiacrazi:
Anyone have any experience with previous Spigen SGP screen protectors?

Or their glass (GLAS.t) glass screens?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SPIGEN-SG...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item27d1651bf5

Was tempted to buy but I am concerned with the silicon adhesive that it uses to stick itself to the screen. Wondering if it would leave any residue or anything behind if taken off?
[One (M7) Accessories] jah:
Matt

These are good value and work well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321090064869?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

The screen protector is not too matt and as usual assume you'll make a mistake with the first one. The size is very precise and you do need to line-up with the edges carefully to make sure the screen protector is sealed all round. Much better than the HTC ones.
[One (M7) Accessories] jadaress1:
Ive got one on the way, first time with a glass ones, sgp are one of the best for screen protectors though.

Size wise - perfect width, but too short on length, around 2mm. :( Pretty matte alright. Looks like nice anti-fingerprint.

Worst part though - it adds something like "RGB grain/noise" to your screen, which is clearly visible especially on white background. Total disaster... And it's visible even from normal viewing distance... I will try to add some photos later.

It's only quick temporary solution for me, before I will get Spigen Ultra Clear.
[One (M7) Accessories] whmcal:
I previously had HTC oem screen protector on this phone ...poor adhesion and grease magnet. I bought this matte screen protector from imyth at Amazon UK. Good fit, easy application and cheap...only about £2 for a pack of 5. Yes, there is a little brush noise when swiping but I would have that with any matte protector - sgp too. I am happy with it. Good clear image, looks professional and less fuss with fingerprints. Plus it is an eighth of the price of my usual sgp ultra optics.

Here is the imyth seen with and without double dip case (below):

You're right about the colour change. Didn't mention that as I've had that with matt protection. May try another make, perhaps ultra clear.
[One (M7) Accessories] whmcal:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] somebody101:
Hi,

I've got a strange problem with my MDA 2. I'm using it in a O2-CarKit (bought about 1,5 years ago). If I just plug the MDA2 in the CarKit, everything is ok and the battery will be charged fine. But if I start TomTom-Navigator, the battery will not charge anymore and the MDA2 is loosing power. So it is not possible for me, to navigate with my pda for a long distance, because after about 2 hours navigating, the battery is empty !!! I've got a Holux GPS-Mouse connected at the CarKit (the way, it is described here in this forum).

So, tha battery won't charge, as soon as the GPS-driver is loaded. I also made a check with Navigon Mobile navigator, which is not compatible with my GPS-Mouse, but have the same behaviour. When I understood right, navigons gps-driver is always on and I've got the charging-problem all over the time, when navigon is installed.

My MDA1 works fine in the CarKit and charge the battery also when Navigator is active. Why not ma MDA2 ???

Can anybody help ??

thanks a lot

rob.

On low Amp. cables the MDA doesn't charge if batt. is below 70%...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] BarnOwl:
Yeah......but a car battery shouldn't be low amp. How the hell will they work with the new XDA II carkit?

No, this is a strange issue. I just came back to Holland from a 14 hour trip from Lucca, Toscane and IT DRAINED MY MDA II BATTERY COMPLETELY!

After getting it back on a 220V charger I had to perform a hard reset and an image restore (Hurray to Sprite Backup).

I read somewhere else it has something to do with the slightly different wiring of the interface as the XDA I. Somewhere there is a ground cable who drains the battery at the same time of charging. This means the battery does charge if the load is above 60% and there is no significant discharge.

But if I run TomTom and Yeti and GPRS the battery will drain like hell, even with the backlight turned off........ :evil:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jpiek:
The XDA/MDA' s don't get 12V either. So probably they'll fix the powerrsupply/transformer....

even xperia mini pro got ICS roms, cause they have all the sources, though it runs laggy on their device, because it only has 128 mb ram, 600 mhz cpu & andreno 200 GPU, if broadcom would release the sources, perhaps our devs & whitexp could work on ICS after we're done with cm7, which is never going to happen, broadcom and samsung just wouldn't want our phones to use our videocore IV with full performance.It would be too OP for its price, so the only thing we can get right now is a driver with better h/w acceleration from broadcom, thats all.They probably wouldn't assist us with building cm9, quote from Nick "So its only Gingerbread for now - should make this simpler to resolve!".It took months for them to release a beta driver with a lot of bugs, they wouldn't release any drivers for CM9.So we aren't getting ICS, even if we do it won't be faster than cm7
