[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
gooroo, the one thing you DO want to check (and your wife can easily do this for you now without any technical knowledge) is that they've sent you a NEW Exec. I.e. one that's never been touched before. There are several reports on these forums of O2 sending out previously-returned Execs to new customers instead of sending them fresh ones and reserving the fixed/secondhand ones for warranty returns.

Get your wife to open the box and see whether it all smells new, whether everything is neatly wrapped up in little bags and whether there are any finger prints on the box, the manuals and the Exec itself.

If it looks suspicious then call O2 and stick a rocket up their collective arse. Their practise of selling second-hand phones as new is ****ing disgusting and they should be investigated by Trading Standards. :evil: Just MHO, of course. ;)

After all this I hope you're really happy with your Exec and that you have no problems with it. :) Have a good Christmas and don't neglect the kids to play with your new 'baby'! :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anton.Valleyman:
For what it's worth I don't think some of the responses above were warranted (no pun intended)...you made an honest post and people should perhaps have not jumped down your throat about it.

Bottom line is though that the 28day thing is a have-you-changed-your-mind-about-wanting-the-phone thing. Sure they could exercise a bit of festive understanding but it's not their obligation to be. But as your main concern is that it works, not that you won't like it, the 28day limit is irrelevant.

I do suggest that you get your wife to check that it's not a return (I got a refurbished XDA2 supposedly as brand new and I demanded they send a new one out - I didn't return the one I had til they did) and then get her to wrap it all up nicely again. If it's faulty when you get yer mitts on it, then you have the right to send it back as such.

Hope it all works out well for you, which I'm sure it will.

Merry Xmas everyone!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] this_mike:
Yeah, well, at the risk of flogging a dead 'un, I wanted to pitch in to support the OP and say I'm doing the exact same thing. I also asked if I could have my renewal start from the 25th so I would have the full 28 days and was told that no, it would actually start that same day, regardless of the fact that I wasn't going to receive the Universal for an unknown period of time...

Knowing that, when it arrived I opened it up (loooove that box) checked it was all ok, doing a hard boot and basic install etc then gritted my teeth and wrapped it all back up again. This was a few weeks ago now (3+ anyway) and I will *never* do this again! :lol: the suspense is killing me!

Respect is due to the OP for delaying gratification in a world obsessed with instant pleasure, and for eating humble pie, another increasingly rare trait.

@gooroo: Do get someone to check that it is an original and maybe run through a basic reboot / sim check because it's easy to do and worth making sure that Christmas day (Christmas Eve for the Catholics amongst us) doesn't end with a whimper :D

29 days to go...........

im looking for the best 4.3 rom here.a couple of weeks ago there are some 4.3 roms,but i dont know which is the best in perfomance/battery life :)

earlier i flashed cm10.2 nightly,slimbean and hellybean. for me cm10.2 was the best.

what do you think? thanks :)
[Nexus S General] Dark_Eyes_:
Try them all as there is no perfect answer. What works for me might not work for you. But I still prefer cm10.2 among all, but hellybean, carbon and slimbean are very good too!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Hey all, Search is not working for me, and I am in need of some help. Been using this Epic Touch for 2 years, but running custom ROMS for over a year.

I installed CM 10.1 official on my phone in September, and have had no issues since... Until this week.

I had had occasional reboots, but had one today, where the reboot then froze on the Samsung GSII logo. From what I know now (after googling), this is a soft brick. Not sure if i did something wrong by doing this, but just thinking it was a random reboot and brief issue, I rebooted again by holding power key...

This time, only the Blue LED comes on (steady), and the screen is completely black.

Again, I wasn't doing ANYTHING at the time this happened. Was not installing a ROM, was just charging phone when it went into the random reboot.

Is there anything I can do? I have insurance, but just ordered a LG G2 upgrade, so am only weeks away from a new phone. Don't want to pay the deductible for a phone i'll only have 2 weeks.

Thanks so much, guys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Hmm, on the TEP site to even process a claim, only options are Water Damage, Physical Damage, Lost, Stolen.

So I guess I may have another option due to software failure? I'll head into a Sprint store and see what I can do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
So you have tried pulling the battery and going into recovery or download mode and flashing a new ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Couldn't get to recovery. Just black screen. Seemed to be a complete brick, probably emmc.

I took it to a sprint store and they replaced it, free of charge, saying the board was completely gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Unfortunately they do happen. Nothing can be done about it with this phone, they're already out of production.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Big Boy Laroux:
Yeah, they actually had an E4GT in the store to give me, so i barely waited 30 minutes.

I'm just gonna leave it stock for now, until I get my G2.

Just very weird that I hadn't flashed anything in weeks (almost 2 months), and it crapped out.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anyen:
i am using the original flipcase....and lg g2 support when you close the flip time will come out....but the problem is...lg forgot to put the clock lock...so that when you put in the pocket and let it out....the small clock doesn't change the style when you accidently grab the phone out and touch the screen..so may be lg can put this lock at the clock when you close the flip in the near future update,

anyone here kow how to lock the clock?

I've seen a few slim extended batteries out there but was unsure as to which are the best or if they would actully fit w/ a lifeproof.

(w/ NFC)

2200 Anker

2300 Zerolemon

2300 Mugen

etc.

Just looking for some opnions and some feed back on which slim extended batteries people perfer.

Has anyone done this btw?

Thanks,
[Galaxy S III Accessories] apple eating samsung:
Looking for the same thing. Any options out there?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cougmeister:
I'm using the zerolemon with the official life proof case now. The added thickness isn't enough to affect the case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Soey:
The Zerolemon doesn't have NFC correct?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cougmeister:
Correct. I don't use NFC so it doesn't bother me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Soey:
I'm guessing i'll end up getting the Anker then due to the NFC and reviews, but still i'm open to some more opnions/options from other members.

Thanks.

I think he is looking for the best option for a battery that fits in the stock door so he can use the Lifeproof case. I am having the same issue. What is the best battery life out there for this situation?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CrackerTeg:
I'm using the zerolemon w/o NFC in mine. The zerolemon doesn't add any thickness compared to the stock battery. Been using the battery since it first released and the lifeproof fre since it released. No issues and battery life is slightly better than the stock battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] adamusek:
i can recommend oryginal Samsung 3000 - almost same size like stock one.

We're in need of a battery that would fit with stock backplate/life proof. If the 3000mah was I'd jump all over that. Thanks though.

I know that they make sd cards with nfc, I have never owned one so i wouldn't know how well it would work with our phones. If the sd card with nfc works then i might buy one and get a zerolemon

Are you sure about that? If so,I just might pick one up.

In reply to your original inquiry... We do have a plan to have sd-502 support PDAs manufactured by HTC( High Tech Corp.)In which, i-Mate Jasjar is part of.

Unfortunately, we do not produce the Sd-502 drivers. These drivers are developed by a third party software company. In result, we can't control the development schedule. Therefore, its difficult to predict driver releases
