[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naoentrar:
Hi all, I need some help from you guys.

I read all about voiding warranty if I root my device but something happened to my nexus that I find too akward.

A couple weeks ago, I sent my Nexus to repair due to faulty gps.

It would not recieve any signal. I installed many different ROMs, wiped it, tryed factory image from Google themselves without any success. So I decided to send my Nexus to warranty. Before sending it in I installed the factory image once again and relocked the bootloader.

As I bought my device froma reseller (FNAC) I did not send it directly to ASUS. I went to FNAC instead.

The problem is that today I recieved a SMS from FNAC saying that the brand (ASUS) did not accept my device under warranty.

I am wondering what could possibly go wrong. I am a bit worried about all this as I am 100% sure I took all the precautions to unroot my device. I know it had a factory image from Google and the only thing I am not sure is if I relocked the bootloader.

Tomorrow I will go to FNAC to know what they have to say.

My question is, can they refuse to repair my device only because the bootloader is unlocked? I was not bricked, only the gps did not work.

Sorry for the big text, thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FierceMist:
Yep they can completely refuse to repair it if the bootloader is unlocked.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
To begin with, you need to find out what reason Asus gave.

Any number of things are possible - for all you know, your device got dropped/damaged after it left your hands, but before it arrived at Asus. Or any of a number of other reasons.

But it would be interesting for you to follow up your OP with an account of your experience.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoyoscratchMC:
Try installing this

If it's not hard-bricked then try going through Clockwork Recovery (For 4.2.2)

Then download Google Apps from this webpage goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

Then the GPS will work and other Google Apps just fine, and if you want you can start fresh from stock then root it again then put in the ROM (CyanogenMod 10.1 RC2 is the best one) or which ever one you want to use then install Google Apps (gapps) through Clockwork by choosing 'Add Zip' then adding the zip in the downloads folder or your nexus 7. There is though a RC3 and RC4 but I prefer RC2 get.cm/?device=grouper&type=RC

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommy-Geenexus:
In the guarantee card is a point where it says that unlocked devices have no longer guarantee.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naoentrar:
Ok guys so it had nothing to do with software.

I did setup my tablet nicely so ASUS could not complain about unlocking anything.

So the reason they refused to repair my tablet under warranty is a small scratch that cant even be called dent. It has about 1mm diameter and is more a lack of paint than a dent. The small scratch is right next to two connector (see images below) and ASUS repair team said that one connector was not there. They classified it as my fault for damaging the device.

I cannot believe that a small scratch can cause that damage. My opinion is that the connector was badly installed or was not even there at the beggining since I never tested the gps when I bought the device.

Plus the repair cost would be more than 200€, almost the price of a new Nexus. They want to replace the motherboard!

I will post the pictures that ASUS took from my device as soon as I can.

Btw, any1 knows what those connectors do?

Thanks

I sent my nexus 7 in because I erased the boot loader (I'm a dumb***) and they upgraded me from an 8gb to 16gb and my nexus was all banged and beat up odd they wouldn't fix yours

Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.72 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naoentrar:
I could not believe when they told me that they refused to repair due to a small scratch... Anyway I refused to pay for the repair budget and made a complaint to oficial authorities. I will be able to use my nexus as is while they process the complaint.

Oh and they want to replace the whole board just because it is missing 1 pin from the gps connector. Is that normal?

Thankyou all.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naoentrar:
Doubt it mate. It always comes down to repair companies that ASUS hires.

In my country there are many complaints with the repair service of ASUS. The company that repairs the products here for ASUS is awful. Maybe in your country it's better.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenndm:
Hello,

I am in trouble with a newly flashed galaxy s2 i9100.

The rom is ThinkBridge JB4.2.2 -Stable 2 as described in this threadhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2163816

Although new to this flashing game, I gather the problem lies with the Google Apps not starting as they are supposed to.

As consequence, the Google Play store is not present and the web play store refuses to install.

For the rest, the phone as such with the new rom seems operational.

I read a number of threads here on flashing/reflashing/wiping/rewiping/ Play store not running.

They describe the problem I encounter, but their solution does not seem to work for me.

A roundup of my phone and downloaded files:

Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 International

Pda I9100XXWLQ2 / phone I9100XXLQ6 / CSCS I91000LUXLP3

before flash:

Android 4.0.4 / kernel dpi@dell225# SMP Preempt ...

After flash:

android 4.2.2 / kernel 3.0.31-CM-ga34655 bridge@htchoi5609 #2 ...

Files used: (stored on external sd card)

-thinkingbridge_i9100_stable2_13-05-07.zip

-gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

-----------------------------------------------------------

in the recovery (CWM 6.0.3.2) I tried the advice posted here

without any noticeable difference.

There seems to be a confusion in CWM about the I9100 internal and external sdcard.

I tried formatting the internal sdcard. CWM reported success, but afterwards all the files on the internal sdcard seemed untoched. I could still folders belonging to downloaded apps from the stock rom.

(un)mounting /sdcard /emmc followed by format had the same lack of result.

wiped cache/dalvik/ data/factory &reinstalled roms/gapps no improvement.

-----------------------------------------------------

I would have liked to post this in the thread mentioned above, but, as this is my first post here, that was not allowed.

I hope I was complete enough in the problem description to entice somebody to scold but then help me :fingers-crossed:

best regards

Try this: again instal rom withput wipe and when the rom is instaled flash gapps and reboot. That always solved my issue with gapps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenndm:
thank you for replying

Steps taken:

1.reboot in CWM

2.reinstall rom from ext sdcarrd without any wipe

3.reinstall gaps without wipe

4.reboot system now

...

sadly no change.

----------

I checked the contents of the internal sd-card. all data is still there from before the (attempted) format.

How can I erase that data? May I hope that rooting and superuser has activated a commandline somewhere I can use?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenndm:
another rom test XenonHD

Steps taken:

1 erasing all data on the phone- internal and external sdcard

2. formatting the external sdcard as ms-dos fat. (the phone created it ext4 not useable as such on win/mac)

3. copying the xenonhd & gapps zip to sdcard

4. CWM recovery mod

5. do a final full wipe ( suppossedly not necessary)

6. install xenonhd rom

7. install gapps zip

8. reboot

finally success - google store present

I don't why previously gapps didn't start or if this was linked with the roms used (which worked on their own)

best regards

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pargas:
If you try thinking Bridge again you could try using gapps inverted found for instance for baked rom. I have used it with many roms. You could also use romnuke script before flashing to ensure you have a clean system. Google gapps inverted and hawkers romnuke. Read through before nuking though. Good luck.

Since Scott closed the thread I thought I'd start a support thread for it. Other users like myself will be happy to answer questions so fire away. Scrosler left us with a very solid complete ROM.

I have only one issue with this Rom(it may not even be an issue). When I'm not on a wlan my locate in the weather app and others just say "my location.". Is it suppose to be that way? It also happens with blinkfeed.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Go into location settings. Make sure gps is checked. It's off by default.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
That's weird I never had that problem in CleanRom 2.5, but I never found a fix for it running the Cognition Rom it was one of the reasons I went back to cleanrom.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Great Idea ...I'll help out if i can. I plan on sticking with CleanRom 2.5 till 4.2.2 lands or another big update from AT&T.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
Well all the buzz is 4.2.2 will drop very soon so it looks like the cleanrom .12 base will be short lived.

My Hope is we don't loose all the AT&T Features (Icons / signal bars ..etc) on the international roms
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
I'm willing to give those up for the fixes 4.2.2 brings to the table.

icons and such can be hacked in later. ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sp_1st_timer:
What are the features that 4.2.2 have which CleanRom + apps from Google play cannot match?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Battery life is better on 4.2.2 for me.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] berdo:
4.2.2 seems to be all around smoother for me but the one thing I really miss about Clean Rom was the transparent app drawer. It was pretty much perfect in 2.5 and I have not been able to find anything as smooth with all the 4.2.2 roms. It is nit picking but it is frustrating.

I am going to try and build my on prism.apk here soon but I highly doubt I can do any better.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sp_1st_timer:
Which 4.2.2 ROM would you guys recommend? I'm not into fancy stuffs...I just want something stable and not full of bugs.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] berdo:
ARHD and TrickDroid are the two most popular. ARHD is going to be the no nonsense Rom and trick droid offers many customizations after the fact. Both are great roms with good support communities.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] godfirst:
4.2.2 still has its bugs to be worked out, but if your looking for nothing fancy ARHD is the way to go. Trickdroid gives you quite a bit of customizations to fit just about everyone needs.

I'm wanting to buy a high performance SD card to run my Code Name Bleu Mynt ROM. I want a 32GB card, but I was looking at an Eye Fi 16GB at this link. http://www.eye.fi/products/prox2 Do I need something like this or is it overkill for an Android phone? Mostly I'm looking for speed, so I was thinking any class 10 would be okay. What are your thoughts on the best high performance SD card?
[EVO 4G General] jlmancuso:
Well the og tops out at class 6. I use sandisk cards. I have a class 10 16gig and class 4 32 gig. I notice no difference between the two on the og and only a small difference on my 3vo. Class 10 won't hurt anything plus when you upgrade your phone you won't have to upgrade your card. Also some users have even been able to use the 64 gig with the og.

Also Kingston is very reliable.

Hello All,

I have a little bit of a unique application for an android device. What I have is at a Boys and Girls Club, they have 3 TV's all with Android 4.1 on a stick HDMI. These are basically full android devices that hook via HDMI,

What we will do is have a video or power point playing that will need to be on all the screens at once, like a promo video or similar.

I was thinking RDC at first, where as they could connect to a server that is playing the video, then I thought about an app for screen sharing or mirroring. The catch is they will all be playing at once, and has to be easy for the staff to change the videos, or power points.

Thanks a ton,

Have an HTC One coming next week and the idea of being able to replace it with stock Android makes it potentially much sweeter. I love the Nexus 4 performance and it does everything I want but I can't get over how nice the One is every time I hold it so I had to pick one up to try it out as my daily driver. Had a One X awhile back running Viper ROM which was very nice so I would imagine I can just run with the stock Sense until stock Android is available.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennylava:
Hi all. I recently rooted the wife's Att Galaxy S3 phone and proceeded to make several blunders after that. In an attempt to get rid of all the bloatware, I accidentally uninstalled the little "text to speech" portion of the factory SMS app. Big mistake #1. I then looked and looked for the factory messaging app on the Play Store, but couldn't find it. I was hoping that I could download and install it again, and gain the little text to speech thing back. Couldn't find it on the play store anywhere. So then I rushed into uninstalling the whole factory SMS app. That was probably big mistake number 2. So then, in a panic, I factory reset the phone. Hoping that it would reinstall all the factory apps and bloatware and such. Of course doing this only made things worse by getting rid of all her contacts. Big mistake number 3. Now I can't even log into the play store because I have no messaging app. I'm screwed.

What do I do to get messaging aall the contacts back? What is the easiest way to get the factory SMS app back, while making sure it still has that handy little text to speech thing built in? And isn't there some way to log into your Gmail account, and tell the phone to use that backup, to get all the contacts back? I haven't messed up this bad with computers in a LONG time and it hurts lol.
