[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr Goodvibes:
There is a text size option in settings->Display->Font Size. Even though your issue seems more dramatic than just a font size change, maybe a toggle in font size could have corrected things...just a thought, but guessing one is hoping it'll never happen again. :)

I moved /system/app/UpdateCenter.apk to a /sdcard/removed-app folder on my SDcard which then removes the update options in the about menu.

I have an unlocked bootloader and will not be graced with updates again anyway.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] terryowen:
I will remember that - to move the update apk - if I ever get root again. :) The method I used last time doesn't work with 6.1.C.1.111 and the AT&T version has a locked bootloader. But with all the talk of JB coming, I may not worry about it until after that.

While I didn't want an update (and am still mourning the loss of my heavily customized apps) the screen seems sharper, there were a few new wallpapers where it's very noticeable and even more to the point, the capacitive buttons actually respond at first touch most of the time. I had been using a virtual button program, they were so bad before.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] terryowen:
I attached a screen print in the previous message. :) Yes, hoping it never happens again, at least unless I have a recent backup.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] daviddallas:
Anybody else having since upgrading where when you call someplace that has a message system where you have to enter digits to go through a menu and when someone does answer, it continues beeping and it's impossible to carry on a conversion. Been a problem eveer since I upgrade to the new rom, 4.0.4. I even tried using a different dialer application, but it still happens.
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
I unlocked the bootloader and had a custom ROM installed.

My headphone jack only played sound out of 1 ear.

Seems like they have received my device at no cost and it says its in state of repair. It's been 5 days and they are still repairing..it's only a headphone jack that needs re inserting...

I'll update but still waiting.
[Transformer TF300T General] Agred:
Well... From my experience they will send you a quotation for repairs (new mainboard+case+headphone jack(probably)). Check your spam folder 'cause it's possible that this quotation is somewhere there and they've to wait for you to accept it.

If you won't accept their quotation, they will send you broken tablet back, but you will have to pay for expertise. I recommend reading Terms of Use.

Why the mainboard you ask? Well, I had to RMA about month ago and got my tablet back a week ago. They say that if bootloader is unlocked they just HAVE TO exchange it for the new one and YOU have to pay for it. That's the rules. Or so they say.

At least, that's what they're doing in my country.
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
Been like 10 days since they have had my tablet. I haven't had any contact which the RMA status says.

Checked my mail box.

Been on chat support and they keep saying the next day or later today but nothing.

If they want me to pay for a new motherboard then they can go EFF themselves. It is a **** tablet, its a quad core cpu and the stock is laggy as ****. I shouldn't have to hack it to death to make it somewhat usable. Rather put it towards a gaming laptop.

how much did new mobo cost you? do you have breakdown of your total?
[Transformer TF300T General] hcoling:
Good experience

I had a problem with the bootloader, it doesn't boot anymore. So I sent my 16 Gb tablet, and after 6 weeks, I recived a refurbished 32 Gb model, so no complaints. It's working very well indeed.
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
Warranty?
[Transformer TF300T General] hcoling:
Supposed not, but no charge.
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
I have been on Asus chat every day. People on there can barely speak English.

They have had my tablet for about 2 weeks and not been contacted about it.

I've been told for the 2nd time it will be set as high priority and that it's taking time because it's gone to head office :-S

'They are reviewing it and will be contacting the servicing center.' My tablet still at the center, just my case gone to Head Office.
[Transformer TF300T General] texascbx:
I had to send mine in four times to get the screen fixed. The fourth RMA, I went on Facebook and told my story about their sorry service. Then I filled out a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The next day I got a message on FB from a manager that said to send it California so he could look at it and he would send me a new one. And he did send me a new one.
[Transformer TF300T General] spicydicy:
Mine was unlocked and was running blue ROM, and just stopped powering on. I talked to them, sent it in, they wiped it clean, reinstalled jelly bean, and sent it back working fine. No issues at all.
[Transformer TF300T General] Kuminauha:
Good experience

I was running unlocked bootloader with CWM10.1 and had issues with rebooting during video playback. Filled in the RMA request, delivery guys picked it up from my door and returned it to me a week later with locked bootloader and stock JB installed and the reboot issue fixed. No charge whatsoever.

Pretty fast considering I live in Finland and it wen't to Czech Republic for RMA service.
[Transformer TF300T General] hellboy123:
Not so good with warranty...

Well you guys are lucky. I sent in my tablet because the tablet did not always recognize the dock and the mousepad did not work anymore. So i thought it would be an easy fix, probably the dock connector. Now i have recieved an billing for a new motherboard, no warranty because i have unlocked the device.

This is now the case in the Netherlands, seems like asus has a different ways of working in each country
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
So day 15, they are telling me they sent be a payment email a couple days ago. I haven't received it. I asked to send me it again but it's something the people on chat can't do and it seems resending an email takes forever.

Dammit, someone finally tells me. ''I'm seeing that the warranty was voided as the bootloader was unlocked"

I'm waiting for this billing email now. I can get a refurbished one for 245 dollars.

I'm gonna pawn this tablet, stupid Asus.

How much did people pay for a new motherboard?
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
Seeing as I don't live in USA, I'm visiting here. I am going to get my tablet back unrepaired, then go home to the UK and send it off again and see if they will oversee the locked bootloader!
[Transformer TF300T General] hellboy123:
In my case the new motherboard costs €175... Getting it back unrepaired will cost money as well, so think it over well before deciding too quickly
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
Yeah **** that, I bought mine with a dock on black friday for 240 quid. I can get a refurbished one in USA for 240 dollars.
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
So they received my tablet may 30th.

Got email with bill June 20th.

> Parts - $147.00 (Motherboard)

> Labor - $65.00

> Tax**- $

To replace the headphone jack cos sound only was coming out of 1 ear. Unlocked bootloader so I have to pay.

Getting it sent back.
[Transformer TF300T General] wetbiker7:
That's bullcrap. They shouldn't have charged you because the headphone jack is hardware. What a crock!

[Transformer TF300T General] Buster99:
sadly thats normal. my a700 and tf300t had to be repaired. both were custom rom'd.

i had to pay for both repairs since during boot the unlocked bootloader was visible. (both had screen issues with ghost touches)

best way imho to get warranty is to make sure the bloody thing is not booting anymore whatsoever so they can't check the bootloader.

cheers
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
Interesting point
[Transformer TF300T General] wetbiker7:
Agreed.

Here's the funny thing though. I know several people who've had hardware failure and have had the bootloader unlocked. Asus fixed their tablets and didn't charge them a thing.

LOL... how can a headphone jack have been affected by unlocking the BL?? I don't blame him. I'd be 1 pissed off dude. Makes no sense why they fix one and not the other when it comes to hardware.
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
**** ASUS

It took 21 days to send me a billing email with repair cost which literally was just a labor and motherboard replacement as I unlocked it. In theory it would take 5 seconds to diagnose that issue. They say they tried sending the bill email twice before but I didn't get any billing email.

I went on chat 2/3 weeks ago to say to customer services that I need it back by the 26th June because I'm leaving the country and I'd knew this would happen..

Just spoke to a supervisor and he says there is no record that I needed it by the 26th on my RMA case and that I can't receive the tablet in time. Got to get my auntie to ship it overseas for me. Not sure if I have to pay taxes or some **** on it as it was bought originally in USA.

I'm pawning this ****ty tablet.
[Transformer TF300T General] stenc55:
People, don't fall for that sh..t. Asus, as all other manufactures that sell anything in EU, has to follow European Directive 1999/44/EC. Unlocking, flashing custom roms and such ARE NOT reason to void warranty for HW failures. You just have to remind them on that when they start to send "replace MB for unlocked bootloader."

That's illegal in EU. But people usually don't know that so they try this approach first.
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
Im getting my auntie who lives in usa to ship the tablet back to me. I will then ship it to the UK service center to get it repaired.

Where can i find more info on this directive thing? how did you hear about it?

I will definitely try that.
[Transformer TF300T General] stenc55:
I came across it by accident. But in RL I had used it when my woman's SGS2 broke (home button) and people on service wanted to charge for replacement "because it was flashed with unauthorised ROM". After I reminded them if they ever heard about this directive they accepted warranty.

You can find more here, including the link to original article I had used while arguing with service: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38207037

Good luck.

Edit: I saw it now that you did this in USA? They have their own rules and this directive does not apply to them. There you have to buy 2 yrs warranty.
[Transformer TF300T General] freddywhite:
In Canada, parents dropped their TF300T and bottom left of screen cracked - and no more touch response. Had an unlocked bootloader running AOKP 4.2.2. Filled RMA and email said I might be charged since it was dropped. Sent it in on at repair facility this past Monday and they sent it back repair the next day, no charge.

However the tablet was flashed back to stock w/ a unlocked bootloader.

EDIT: Bootloader is still unlocked.
[Transformer TF300T General] thrutheeyes:
Wtfff. Just USA customer service is **** then?

Can people give their rma numbers so I can actually show them these cases.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmills3:
Hey, I am having the same ghost touches and I have an unlocked boot loader. Can you tell me how much you paid for the 300 fix. Gonna send mine into Asus this week
[Transformer TF300T General] Buster99:
199€ + shipping, tax, almost as much as a new device :(
[Transformer TF300T General] mr.fast:
No, the UK's is too.

I sent my tablet too their service center in the Czech Republic (UK service) and it came back scratched and the plastic casing was popping out near the audio jack. The LCD screen also wasn't fixed straight. It also creaked.

Anyway, I now have a Note 10.1 because luckily, Argos (UK retailer) let me exchange.

Don't buy Asus.
[Transformer TF300T General] alb-o:
i mean i wouldn't say don't buy ASUS products, because they're some of the best quality hardware around. you just need to be careful how you go about things like this, if i were to send my tab in for repairs i would purposely brick it cause i know they'd **** me for the unlocked bootloader.

but a word of advice from my experience with these guys, if you have a docking station that needs repairs and it doesn't have that awkwardly-placed sticker under the SD card slot you're out of luck, that sticker has on it the serial number of your docking station and without it they can't help you. i'm not sure about you guys but once i buy any hardware i always peel all of those nasty looking stickers that are on it off, so that's what i did with my dock. the dock had a manufacturing defect and the entire keyboard didn't work, in defense to it not having a serial number i told them to open the dock up and i'm sure there would be an assortment of serial number in there they could use, they didn't care. they sent it back untouched and i just bought a new one instead with an extended warranty, and that dumb little serial number sticker on it is slowly peeling off, because of its placement its constantly getting touched. these companies are tricky mother****ers.
[Transformer TF300T General] mr.fast:
I'd rather not give money to a company that couldn't care less about it's customers. I'm typing this on an Asus laptop and it's probably the best designed laptop I've owned but I'd still avoid them after my experience. Even the people in the store couldn't believe it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] zool84:
Hi everyone

After i changed the mainboard of my galaxy mini 2 i have very strange issues:

-when i hold power i don't have the shutdown menu but the phone just shut down

-i don't have a lockscreen, pushing power shut down the screen and when i press it again or i press home i unlock it even after choosing the pin code or the model in the settings.

-i installed a lockscreen app from the market but i can't find it in the app drawer,the only way to find it is in settings-->applications

In the begining i thought that it was a rom issue so i flashed the official LD3 with odin but nothing changed,with the old mb i didn't had such issues

Can someone advice me what i can do?

now i've tried to find the right software again but somehow i can't find it, tried several different cabs from chinese to english but nothign worked.

maybe somebody could give me a hand there.

all of the camera software supports landscape even the older versions that came with Wm2003 instead of SE, just hit the contacts button to go from portrait to landscape while in the camera app. Has always worked good on mine.

Landscape Mode for the Camera in XDA II

I like solutions that are simple, and you couldn't get much simpler than mine to produce a photo in Landscape!

First, get into the camera mode. Then hold the XDA II in front of you, so you can see the camera view on the screen. Then (the really clever bit!) rotate your wrist through 90° and, voila, the image is now in Landscape.

Works for me!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dutty:
yeah, krueger ;P well it was up again but it went down 2 days ago...

about the camera it's not about "a camera that supports landscape function" it's about "a camera that works properly when using wm2003 se in rotated mode"

All, I have been waiting to get an S4 for a while now, However it scares me to put $700 on a device which can possibly break easily & costs another $300 to fix with same risk. I have a buy/no buy decision to make for me and a few friends around me. Can we get the build of this verified & technically explained?

People say the very thin bazel transfers shock/twist tension for the digitizer to disintegrate/crack so easily.

Please advise!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] got_milk:
For what it's worth, I've dropped mine a couple of times accidentally and I've done no damage to the screen.

I think if you handle it carefully and not treat it like a cheap and easily replaceable device you shouldn't have any worries. I do my best to take care of my phones and I've never damaged one (yet...).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Maesedroid:
I'm caseless no issues so far even I don't wear any screen protector. No scratches at all, really magic the oleophobic layer, no fingerprints!.

I recommend a bumper or similar, regarding to the really easily to scratch back cover, I know it's plastic, but $500d one!

The rest is just fine!

:thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] charrog:
It really is how well you take care of your phone, obviously placing a phone in tight jeans pocket and squatting can break your phone. Also dropping it without a case can lead to the same. While it does appear that there have been several people posting bezel cracks and digitizer problems. There are alot more of us that don't have any problems. So really buying it is your decision and how you take care of it is up to you also so YMMV......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lilphil240:
You could buy a case or a screen protector. ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alex6speed:
Weak screen? Yeah, it's probably weaker than most. Especially considering that there's more operating surface area on the glass and less width on the bezel side. A corner drop is instant death without a box to cover it. Still though, its hard to dislike this phone. Go back to an S2 ... it feels way too different now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Shammyh:
I have an Otterbox Defender, and no screen protector. For me, it's a perfect combination of protection and usability.

I do have big hands though... and as much as the GS4 is undoubtedly "prettier" naked, I actually prefer the extra "holdability" of the case.

I've dropped it lightly a few times and do I carry my phone in a separate pocket from all my other junk, but so far, absolutely no visible scratches.

Everyone's use case and preferences are different, but this setup has worked well for me so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Underst8:
I've dropped it several times. Once onto a brick floor when sitting on a chair, and once it slipped out of my pocket onto asphalt when I opened my car door. Today it slipped out of my hand onto hardwood from 4 feet or so. Every time I pretty much crapped my pants at the thought of it cracking but so far it's proven to be tough.

Had my Infuse for 2+ years caseless with no problem, so I have confidence in this phone especially seeing as how I am sure Samsung figured out how to improve the design after those problems with the S III cracking.

My mom wanted a case for hers so we got the Incipio DualPro after getting one for my dad's Xperia and its a great case. Nice feel and doesn't add too much thickness while providing great protection.

After handling all the cases at the AT&T store the Incipio was by far the best they sell there at least.

Spigen cases and GLAS.t screen protectors are also highly recommended.

Buy the phone, its awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] galaxyS4fandom:
This phone so far is pretty durable from my experience. The first week I had it in a case with no screen protector. Ended up getting a small scratch on the screen so I now use one. Pretty much I haven't dropped the phone yet but as long as you take care of it you should be good. I totally recommend it, this phone is amazing!
