[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Hey Guys!

I have little Problem...I had my N4 in a Ringke Slim Case for a long time now. Today i removed the Case and looked at my phone on detail. I found a little "Problem". Between the Lock Butten and the Chrome rim of the Display is a little crack. Its not something bad but im scared that it could crack out completely.... Do you think i could send it back or what should i do? Just leave it like this? I didnt buy it at the Google Play Store, i bought it in a local electronic shop.

I just dont want that it cracks completely !

Sorry for bad english...im From Germany and only 15 years old ;)

Have a nice day!

Oh and i try to add a Picture later !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
So it is in the plastic rim? I wouldn't be as concerned about it there as I would be if it were on the glass. Still, it could obviously spread.

I'm not sure how warranties work in Germany (I know they're better than in the US), but if they'll give you a replacement I would take it. In the US that would be considered damage and not covered though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Thanks for your Answer!

I pressed the plastic back in. Otherwise it would come over the rim.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dia_naji:
I mean it's not a big deal. The plastic where it's cracked is actually the back of nexus 4 which comes in one piece. it's about $50 on ebay. I don't really know how much is in Germany. As for repair, the back cover is just two screws. Hope that helps :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howard bamber:
Oh dear. I've just got that case, thinking it's the best! Took 3 months to ship too:(

Is it getting worse?

Oh sorry to hear about it. You sound like me... Any mark or whatever is a bummer

Sent by mobile telephone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Shipping took nearly as long...

To the case : Looks good but i dont really like it. And if youre not really careful with it, it can make Scratches into the Plastic rim. Thats really...****. Looks very Bad. I wouldnt Take it, send it back and Order a TPU Case, they are a lot better!

And to my Problem: My Electronic Store said i should bring them the Phone and i maybe get a Replacement :good:

Have a nice day ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve - O:
Hopefully you will get a replacement.

( I had that case for about 2 days and sent it back.)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
hi, im an overclocking/underclocking maniac :) I go with root explorer and change my cpu profile ( interactive ) settings, to respond faster but to stay less time to max value. also i change the settings for the cpu to sleep sooner when the usage is low to conserve battery this way.

But after reboot , my settings are rolled back at their "original" values. I tried to set the permissions only user can write , but it happened again. Does someone know why and how can i make my changes permanent ? thank you in advanced.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
forgot to mention. im not using setcpu or anything. i change the system values in the vanir rom i use.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
try using one of the many apps, vanir might not be saving the settings and applying at boot. Or you could write a simple init.d script to echo your frequencies much earlier in the boot process;).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
i cant. using other apps its even harder for me to find the file to edit the profile i want to make it the way i want. i just tried :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
found it. only using setcpu i can edit governors the way i want them. but still im curious about finding where is the script in rom and reverts back my changes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeh.esn:
Hello People, here's the deal. I've just bought a note 1 n7000 used. The guy who sold me it said he was using another rom and that he had returned it to stock rom.

I'm having serious battery issues, my battery is lasting around 2 hours with light use. At the same time that the performance of the cell phone is not that good.

When I bought it it came with a strange setting for the letters on screen. everything looked like comic sams, I ran quadrant benchmark and it scored 4400 so I factory reset it trhough the settings menu. Then I felt like it wasn't the same perfomance and ran quadrant I got 3900 I installed all my apps and stuff felt it wasn't running nicely and reset again, now through recovery mode and did cache wipe. ran quadrant again and the score was 3600.

Then i looked forward to install a safe and root kernel from the beginners guide here in xda... it's now rooted, but then I realised that the kernel I'm using is from mexico (N7000UBLS4 - TCE) and my cell phone is actually from Brazil (I'm from Brazil). Inside the battery case it says SSN: -n7000GSMH (which is not an option in philz kernel list)

Well now I'm in doubt if these performance and battery life issues are relative to this and what should I do to have it completely stock with, let's say a brazilian stock. Or if I can just flash another rom.

Just one more thing: My n7000 was saying that my battery was at 70% I took it out and tested with a multimeter and it checked 3,94v. I found it really strange since the battery was supposed to be 3,7v and it was at its 70% ??

Is this the case to a battery stats wipe?

Thank you a lot

------

Edit

I have installed sweet v10.5 black and the performance seems a little worse... the battery too, now if I'm hooked to the notebook and using it, it goes all the way down to 0%.... the only possible way to charge it is with the phone off.

I'm seriously thinking about returning the phone... Although I really enjoy the idea of having the note... the big screen is awesome. But with a low performance and 2 hour battery... come on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSlave:
The batteries on these things only last 6mo-1yr really

I'm on my 3rd battery after less than 2 years.

You should get one day with moderate use on JB..2 days on ICS and 4+ on GB

That's with just moderate use...

2 anker batteries on amazon.com is $20US

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yaniel06:
I think it blows that sprint treats it current customers like step child's. I mean I've been with sprint for 11 years. And they say hey you can have the note 3 for 349.99 on an upgrade but the guy behind me print his number over gets a special $100 discount and gets it for 250. Gtfoh sprint. That blows
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] otamctech:
Our corporate store was selling them for 299 not 350.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bizack:
BestBuy Price Match To Sprint web site for $250

I just got mine Last Night From BestBuy for $250 Price Match without porting a number. New Number New Contract, not hassle.:cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
Same here. Price matched today 249.99
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bizack:
You rooted yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
As soon as I'm home I will
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
ROOTED as of last night :laugh:

Flashed the De-Odexed, can't wait for the custom roms, themes, etc.

I removed the Sprint apps, looking into what Samsung apps I wont use/like to removed those too. Next on the list is delete all sounds I don't like such as boot-up, camera shutter, low battery. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Quicsilver87:
Hmm what other advertisement did you guys use to use the price match with Best Buy? And if they do indeed match it does that mean we HAVE to get a new line and new phone number even if I have a upgrade?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
I just took my phone in and showed them frys / Sams club / sprints site. The manager told the girl helping me to make sure the price shown was for upgrades.

Well let's just say the girl helping me was beautiful and I made it a point to smile, be nice, and make good conversation (flirt) and she didn't verify anything just matched the price.

I'll probably go back just to say hi :beer:

No new number. No new line. Upgraded my existing line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] SantinoInc:
I paid $350 at Best Buy because I didn't want to wait for Amazon or wirefly to get it in stock to save $50.

In terms of price matching at Best Buy I had a bad experience. The manager in the cell department told me that they only price match the price of the corporate stores. That's it. Won't match Amazon, Wirefly or other websites. He even showed me on his computer Best Buy's position on cellphone price matching.

To you guys who got the phone for $250 at Best Buy I envy you... big time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
Frys / Sam's club show it at $250, I had best buy price match that [kinda-- I just got a real friendly girl that helped me out too].

I too found out the hard way BB does NOT match online retailers [not to say some don't get lucky--BUT it does CLEARLY state it on their site].

So I talked to different stores, and I so happened to go to one a few cities away since the one in my town was lazy [the system was down and didn't to do it manually]. Luckily for me it worked out great! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JimSmith94:
Wouldn't it be worth going back and getting the price match retroactively for $100?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aquaholik:
I added a fifth line to my SERO plan. They wouldn't give me $100 credit for porting a BOOST MOBILE number so I spent $10 on a Walmart Tracfone and port that number over. Corporate store had problem adding a 5th line to SERO without changing plan so I ended up calling it in. Now I got to wait on 2-5 days shipping.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkleafar:
so you bought the phone at 350, then realized you could price match, came back and did a price match after the fact? Or did you price match on the day and time you did the upgrade? Because I bought two note 3's October 4th and tried to price match today (about 6 days later) and was told no, you can only price match on the day of the fact.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tt281gt:
Sorry I wasn't clear. By took my phone I meant my old E4GT (s2) and showed them on that. If you want the discounts try another person / manager in the store. If not then try another store. If all fails you can go the route of returning them within 14 days or threatening to unless they match the price.

Good luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkleafar:
Sams waives the activation fee and gives you 25 dollar credit for a few months? Seriously?

Hello,

may be it's not on the right section.

I've a problem with my operator ATM, it 's hard to have a good quality in voise on 3G.

In my previous phone, i could force network on 2G, but on Z1 i can only force 3G on network choice.

Is there a program to only use 2G until the operator repair his network?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dashbored:
So apparently VZ pushed out the update to my phone this morning. When I saw it, it was just finishing "downloading firmware". Damn. Then it asked to schedule a time to install. For now I put 11 pm tonight and did NOT check the install automatically box.

Is there anything I can do at this point to ensure it won't install?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
If you have a custom recovery installed it won't work anyway.

You can start by searching this topic first as it's been discussed all week in several threads.

I am 100% stock unfortunately. I thought it was not possible to install a custom recovery on locked bootloader?

If you are s-off, but not unlocked, I believe you can. I'll let others with more knowledge than me chime in! :)

I'm rooted unlocked from day one. In that case I dunno.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
Im in same boat at the OPer. I just keep scheduling it for 24hrs in the future. Would like to shut it up indefinitely but im fairly certain it isnt possible
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dashbored:
Appreciate the input. I did do a search beforehand and I didn't come across any solution for us who bought the phone after Verizon locked up the HTC Dev method.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dashbored:
Yep, you can definitely put in custom recovery with S-off, but unfortunately I am completely locked down. Damn you Verizon!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] houtx2:
I might try this. So this will just put the message asleep for 24 hours (with start automatically NOT checked)?

Mine just started this morning and I am already sick of it!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dashbored:
Lucky! Yeah I bought the phone literally the day after Verizon locked up the HTC dev unlock method. Didn't think VZ would be that quick to plug the hole!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] buckmarble:
yep keep the auto unchecked. i just make sure i set it to a time i know i will be awake and able to pay attention to it
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dashbored:
That's good to hear... So the process won't go ahead unless you manually click yes? I definitely did not click the "install automatically" box. But my past experience with VZ OTA updates was that they will push it through regardless if they wish (thinking back to the Thunderbolt update that took away free tethering). Basically, there would be very short window (say one a minute or so) where you had to deny the update process. The thing was, VZ would pop up these requests at random time intervals, seemingly disregarding the scheduled time you set. It was just downright mean...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] sacnotsack:
Mine started up this morning too. Definitely don't want this. I'm completely stock and locked down myself.

A reboot stopped the annoying notification about the update for me.

I thought about that, but I'm in no hurry to start switching ROMs especially after reading about people not being able to make calls all of a sudden. Granted there was a fix found, but it's just too much work for me. Besides, this phone won't be locked down forever.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] oletheos:
I'm getting the nag every few minutes now too. It sucks. I'm locked too. I've tried quitting tons of things to stop it. No luck.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
you guys can freeze apps right?

freeze

HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_VZW.apk

and

HtcOMADM_VZW.apk

that should stop it right?

Sorry I just jumped in to give insight. I will be honest I didn't search or read so if this has been said my apologies everyone. Just trying to help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] barret907k:
Just click back

I got this this morning as well. I never selected a time. I just click back. This will make the box go away.

I'm sure this will get annoying so hopefully someone finds root or s-off soon.

apps/data. Will Rom Manager or Titanium Backup do the Trick?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
I would advise against it, not only are you going from one phone to another but different android versions. If it were me I would just install apps from market and then set up everything fresh, but feel free to try titanium, some of it could restore ok

Since the camera have only one-stage camera button how is the focus managed? Does it try automatically focus just after pressing button or do I have to always poke on the screen to focus properly?

Is the fast capture really that fast? I have xperia P with so-called "fast capture" and it is reasonably fast only during first 2 weeks after wipe (after loading apps and using the phone for a month or so the camera becomes laggy).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSabz:
Hello all

I'm in a bit of a pickle, My S3 got a sudden death overnight while it was charging normally

It was rooted with stock kernel as well as having a cracked glass screen from a slight fall on asphalt..

Now my problem begins with dealing with Samsungs Service center, They claim they wont fix my SDS (motherboard) under warranty unless i pay ~210$ to change my whole topframe/digitizer/LCD/Glass which costs around $175 online, and all they way down to $150 if you buy bulk.

Anyways i'm pretty sure that the crack is mainly on the surface and affects only the glass screen panel, which I'm perfectly capable of changing myself (Is it possible without voiding warranty?) and the kicker is it costs ~$7 dollars..

So what should i do? fix it myself and try to have them cover the mobo/SDS, or is there a way i can make sure its only the glass screen so i can use that as leverage when dealing with the Service Centre, TBH i dont trust them 1 bit, they are all incompetent and just keep repeating what ever is handed to them.. The guy even tried to flash my phone then and there through Odin, he was convinced it was only a software thing. The crazy thing is before that my PC could see my phone when i connect it and Odin would read my USB connection normally.. NOW its definitely worse cuz even the PC cant identify the device when plugged in, nor odin...

Please advise on what the normal operating procedure in your country for a situation like this, also which path should i take? Of course i would rather not have to pay and extra $210, as i specifically asked them to just leave the screen alone, i have no problem with it, and just change the mobo or hand me a new one.. The reply is always along the line of... " its against policy sir, once a phone enters maintenance, everything has to be fixed" OK i get that, a bit cheeky. But when i can fix my screen for 10$ then its plain theft!

Im soo disappointed in Samsung at the moment. Can't believe i'm geting completely F***** out of my hard earned cash like that.

Thanks for taking the time to read.

PS: i'm currently using a $17 LG phone, amazing, charged for 2 hours, its been full battery for 4 days lol /Sarcasm
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
That is the normal Samsung response .

Why are you not returning the phone to the vendor under warranty ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilalraybrig:
Brother, Why don't you try some other samsung service center?

It doesn't matter if your touch screen is damaged or even not working. If your phone is under warranty, and you ask them to replace the motherboard they can not refuse! (The broken screen does not comes under warranty) tell them to accept the phone like that only.

May be the guy in the service center you approached is a retard! Try another service center.

SERIOUSLY BRO! :) :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSabz:
Whats normal? are you sure you read the entire post. They took my phone in for a checkup today, not feeling optimistic at all.. and under 'warranty' ill likely have to pay a minimum of 220$ to get it fixed, that includes a complete new front frame/glass/digitier/lcd.. plus they might not cover the SDS motherboard because it has a cracked screen, the replacement of which [only the glass screen] would cost me ONLY 10$ to fix. But they say if its cracked it might be misuse therefore voiding waranty! BULL****, the phone is made so the screen cracks and not the actually LSD hence it should be quicker, cheaper and easier to fix

The motherboard part i'm not sure but i think its about $170 online price.

How are you not getting this! its obscene thievery masked behind "maintenance policy".

If all else fails i will be between throwing my phone in the trash and buying a new phone.. or spend around $200+ buying the parts and assembling them myself! this is not the kind of service you expect from a high end smart phone mnfg.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSabz:
Thanks already read through that thread!

They all operate under the same pollicies (Samsumg centres) here in Egypt! They don't just assume the customer is correct and under warranty, they tend to try to scam you to pay up for anything.. although it should be covered under warranty..
