[Nexus 7 (2013) General] finalhit:
In before it's actually locked.

In a serious note, when my mom's iPhone needed service, I too it to Sprint where we bought it, and they refused to handle it because apples policy is direct it to them.

I thought it was rather inconvenient singer the Apple store is twice a far as the Sprint store.

So I went on the internets and posted about it on every forum I can.

I AM ENTITLED DAMN IT!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] iamezio:
I don't see the problem , Apple is ensuring that you will get a good service for your Apple device .
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] derpyderps:
I completely agree with OP and thank him for sharing his experiences. Google has a bad rep for not responding or being very slow with issues when it comes to money. I would not trust Asus support or even Samsung for that matter. I think if you do buy a tablet, get it from a well known merchant who is going to take that extra step for you. These vendors I don't think really care after all they have their money.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] :
I just got my N7 back from ASUS warranty. Sent it in with a battery drain issue and it was out of my possession for 2 weeks before getting it back.

Their RMA states that if it's a battery or power issue, you need to send the charger & cable. ok, no problem. The problem arose when they didn't send them back with the unit.

They replaced the front camera unit (strange that that would cause the drain, but hey), and I had thought the problem had been resolved when I saw the same behaviour again.

So it's gotta go back.

Not too impressed at the moment...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ccrows:
Apple better have good customer service for the overpriced products that they have.

Still Apple is not perfect either. Lets not forget "Bumpergate" a few years back, and the more recent Apple Maps.

At least OP will have his issues fixed in apx. 2 weeks. I'll take that over bumpers to fix my phone, or an overpriced GPS program that doesn't work...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Dysternaut:
I had a Padfone 2 that broke after 6 months, and when returning it to Telia where i bought it, they returned it to Asus. Their service was abysmal in my case. I kept checking up each week, and each time I just got excuses. After 2 months of it hanging at Asus waiting for parts, I went to Telia and pleaded my case and ended up getting a full refund. The lady at Telia said that my experience with Asus was in no way unique, and that Telia here in Denmark is considering to break off their deal with Asus and stop selling their products because of their bad service.

I hope your experience will be better. But expect the worse.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] acdcking12345:
My co worker bought his Nexus 7 2013 from Nebraska Furniture mart. He had it for 3 weeks and it developed an issue. He called ASUS and they determined it to be a hardware issue. He said ok, can I get it fixed? They issued an RMA, said it would be 2 weeks turn around time. He mailed it in, and got it back exactly 1 week later fixed.

So they may say 2 weeks, but it looks like it could be faster. But I would rather they quote an expectation that is longer than it really takes. Then I am happier because I get it sooner than expected. I dont think that the OP has a valid reason to complain at all.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ddelamareuk:
I bought my new Nexus 7 straight from a street retail supplier in Germany, called Saturn, very well known.

After charging my device on the first night, i would not switch on the following morning.

I took it back to the P.O.P (Place of Purchase) and asked for a replacement as it was faulty.

It was replaced without any issue.

They will send it back to Asus and have it replaced or repaired so that their stock balances out.

Simples.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] biggggant:
so you've had it for 7 days..Can't you still return it to GS?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sigaiser:
7 weeks. It's been sent and received. Hoping for the best.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Nadavs10:
I read your thread and felt I must reply.

2 weeks without your device. Oh yeah, that's a great reason to complain, to cry, to get mad. That's a great reason to post a "WARNING" in the forum.

Excuse me, but you sound like and idiot, or emotionally attached to your little electronic device. I took my phone maybe 6 times to repair (mind you, it was a phone, just a little more important than a tablet) and each time I waited about 10 days. And no - they didn't ship it to me, I had to go myself there.

I got here now to read a little about Nexus 7 before I buy it. Please, next time you post a warning, just say it's intended for those who are emotionally attached to their tablet and save me the 5 minutes it took me to read it.

Thank you

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] mikulkajan:
Hi everyone,

I have a very strange problem with my MDA1 Wallaby phone.

I had 4.01.12 version of the ROM. I tried to upgrade WM2003SE (with exe file), but something bad happen, when it was 99%. Now I have only bootloader working (5.15) and GSM OK.

I tried to upgrade via SD card, but everytime I get "CHECKSUM IS NOT CORRECT" after the upgrade. I cannot update WM any more. (I tried 4 different SD cards, so I think the problem is somewhere else). When I test the SD card in bootloader by selecting SD card test it says TEST error with every SD. Is it OK?

What should I do?? Is there other way, how to upgrade my precious MDA (not Active Sync and not SD) ?

Please help me! I am desperate and do not know what to do.....

HELP appreciated...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Sebi:
"CHECKSUM IS NOT CORRECT" message after the upgrade from SD card is no problem. Try a soft reset after this message.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] mikulkajan:
can't boot to windows - hang whole day with a white screen. Maybe SD card slot is bad...

And I am very very very very stupid - I forgot to make a Hard reset before upgrading and didn't make a backup of last ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Shockg911:
So annoying. Whenever someone sends me a text in GROUP MMS I keep getting that No Subject crap over the message.

Only happens on incoming Group MMS, not individual messages

Tmobile has no clue what Im talking about

Besides going to a 3rd party app(Textra does not work), anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Shockg911:
I guess im the only one having this issue?

I am rooted if that helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tdoughone:
This happens on mine as well

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

You can try handcent it happens because you can add a subject to an mms group texts are sent as mms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] larslindstrom:
Is there a fix for this, or is it just something we have to deal with? I'm experiencing this same thing having just switched to T-Mobile from AT&T.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] flipq88:
Because group messages come in as mms messages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] larslindstrom:
Yeah, but on my old SIII on AT&T, it would leave off the "Subject: <no subject>" line in MMS messages. I was wondering if there's a way to get rid of it on this phone or if it's just something we're stuck with.

Yup, the modem firmware doesn't expose the full ServiceMode menu. There's no way to get to the PERSO SHA256 flag toggle or the NV REBUILD command. The only way to SIM-unlock is get an unlock code from your carrier or one of the paid unlock services.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ZareliMan:
This rom is really nice. The latest GB modded rom I tried had terrible GPU lag, games wouldn't run smoothly but on this one they give me more fps than JB it seems.

I'm going to try it for a longer time.

EDIT 1:Whoa I installed the part 2 and LOVED the new UI.

Want to report a bug here, when I changed from Spanish to UK English, the settings menu will still have some stuff in spanish. Not that I care much since I'm a native Spanish speaker, but I still prefer english for compatibility reasons (and because I use every electric device in english because it has shorter words and have less display issues because of space).

EDIT 2: I discovered the OTA update, so nevermind my bug report.

EDIT 3: We really need more governor options, zram and zcache and it's perfect.

Can this governors be ported to the 2.x.x kernel ?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
I think they work, not sure anyway.

Nop swipe do delete isn't implemented.

The recovery is the recovery we have for locked bootloader, touch is not working (use camera button to go back) or use a custom kernel and cwm will work perfect.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ZareliMan:
I installed the governors apk but they didn't seem to be working (so I uninstalled it).

Also, which custom kernel would work on this GB rom ?

I'd love to use the Experimental, Phantom or Transcendence but don't want to mess it bad since I'm using it for everyday.

Plus, the CWM has more issues, I can't use USB storage mount and the backups take a LONG time (I hope they work).

When the phone starts I had to press the volume up button and it started installing right away, then the phone rebooted when finished as expected.

Pretty simple anyway.

I don't know 'bout your girlfriend, but anyway I wouldn't ever suggest custom roms to anyone before making sure the rom works FLAWLESS, and if it is actually flawless, then no update is really required.

I come with another issue. (This is on a fresh install btw, I make plenty of cwm backups).

I had to access an EAP security Wifi Network (asks for username and pw, normally works on my phone), but as soon as I touch it in the wifi settings, the whole settings apk crashes. I tried 3 alternative wifi managers (wifi manager, wifi connection manager and ES wifi manager) but none of them gave me options for EAP, in fact they only reckognized it as a WAP net (weird). I tried Wifi Config Editor (which seems to be among the best) but it crashes as soon as I open it. Finally I tried Full Wifi, entered all parameters manually and waited for connection. The icon flashed connected and was disabled right away everytime I tried to connect to that network.

In conclusion, I have to leave this amazing rom for now as EAP is a must have for me (I work in that network). I really hoped I could use this for everyday.

Hmm. The ROM starts getting laggy after 1 day of up time and can only be solved by a reboot. These are signs of memory leaks. Any ideas or a fix?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rastigo:
Use X boost. Solves the problem
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] satya-1998:
Is that a script or an app or what? If its an app I can't find it on Play Store
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rastigo:
Search for Xbooster on playstore. If you don't find it you can get it from XDA also
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ZareliMan:
You don't necesarily need to use xbooster, I think any good ram manager works (kill tasks and manage min mem).

I also found useful to use a diferent CPU freq manager, to estabilsh a profile for scr off (conservative 200-800) and scr on (ondemand 200-1000) to improve battery life dramatically.

Wow really ? Looking forward then...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rastigo:
Dude task killer is the last thing u should use in Android. They stay in memory and use up battery life. Plus the apps will restart itself. Better use Xbooster as it is light on ram and non memory resident
