I'm having the problem on my S3, but I'm not on 4.3 yet....

I already had this issue once 2 weeks ago and I factory wiped and started over. Fast forward two weeks forward and it started again today. WTF?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] acedik:
Are you using TWRP? I had a similar issue, upgraded to newest TWRP 2.6.3.1 and it was fixed. Before this I tried everything, factory reset/modem upgrade/different roms.. and it wasn't working..other than a rooted touchwiz rom.

Give it a shot.. might work..

As per Perseus71:

Install TWRP 2.6.3.1. Then take a Nandroid.

Next wipe /Data. Then flash your Custom Rom. Wipe Dalvik + Cache after the Flash.

[General Questions and Answers] TheRealGreenVirus:
Hi

A few weeks ago my dad bought himself a Samsung gt-19295 (Galaxy S4 Active) and he didn't really like it. He asked me if I am interested in his phone and I am not sure if I should take it, because I am actually interested in other phones like the htc one. I never had a Samsung with android and I don't know if those phones are good or not. Do you guys know if there are good custom roms for that samsung? Because I can't stand the default Samsung UI and their custom apps.

What do you guys think about those phones?

I am asking this here and not in the samsung forum because I want the opinions of HTC and Samsung owners.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwepruk:
I currently have an iPad 4 and a Nexus 7. Both of which perform very well and I'm very happy with.

I am looking at this tablet for one reason - Waterproof. I bought a Lifeproof case for my iPad and it turned it into a bulky monster that sucks to use. Mostly because I have a hot tub and like to listen to music and browse the web while in the tub.

I understand that battery life isn't that great, it's not the fastest or best processor, doesn't run the latest Android version and doesn't have the sharpest screen - does this at all become an issue in day to day use?

So, have there been any issues with the waterproofing of this device?

I've done some searching and it's hit and miss on what people think. I find it's a pricey tablet compared to the specs, but like I said, waterproofing is the feature I really life.

Thanks all.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
I think you should not buy it, unless you have lots of money for no good use. The Xperia Tablet Z is a great device. The battery is great. It lasts a whole day for me, including heavy WiFi usages and reading many pdfs. The processor indeed isn't the best, but I rarely have any slowdowns.

The latest Android version isn't much needed on it, and it behaves without a single bug whatsoever. It is coming soon, though... The screen doesn't have the biggest resolution and thus the biggest PPI, but it is really sharp and great. I don't have any problems with it, and the viewing angles are great... It is just a bit too reflexive under direct sunlight, but I use it a lot on low brightness, so that's the reason.

The waterproof is a great feature, and works perfectly, but because of the touchscreen technology (capacitative), it goes crazy with water on it. Dropping water on it makes it think you are touching the screen, and submerging it makes it crazy, as pressure is being applied all the screen.

The speakers are muffy when they have water on it, so unless you hold the device the other way around and does not submerge the other half, you're good. If you are going to use headphones, get some waterproof ones and connect them via Bluetooth, because you can risk both the tablet and the headphones by putting the cables underwater as when the covers are opened they aren't waterproof.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwepruk:
Thanks for the info. it wouldn't be submerged for use, just in my hands in the tub (and it's lighter than an iPad, so that's a bonus). I use my iPad with the case and I know what you mean about going crazy when wet. Every now and then, I just dip it to get some of the puddles off it and that seems to help.

I'd also likely sell the iPad to recover some cost (and the lifeproof case was $130 - ouch).

I've read a ton of reviews and they tend to mirror the issues I mentioned. Did the 4.2 update improve things like wifi reception or any other improvements?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
I can't say much about 4.1.2 and any of their issues because I bought the device and it shipped with 4.1.2, but I was in NY for a few days and the hotel's WiFi wasn't good, so couldn't test it. First thing I did when I got home was updating it. But i have no signal problems whatsoever. Mine is a SGP311, if that makes any difference...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fjevel:
I'll just chime in here with the same info that's already been provided by others; battery life in use is decent. I use mine only periodically, but when I use it I rarely pay the battery any attention, and never have had any trouble with WiFi reception. I don't have the biggest house, but I have used it all over the house without any problems. I've also used it outside without any trouble where my mobile phone will not pick up any WiFi signal.

My main gripe with the tablet is that it seems to use quite a bit of battery when I'm not using it. But that is probably caused by something I have installed. Haven't really bothered investigating.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zidan25:
I have the same thing on my mind with cwepruk. I'm planning to buy this tab also and have a lot of research with the pros and cons. In fact I have a lot of vids downloaded from youtube about comparisons and reviews. But because of the six months period since its release, I have second thoughts of buying and afraid that maybe in few days/weeks, better tablet is coming. (Sigh) i just don't know....:confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tel033:
I'm in the same spot as you, new note seems a great deal though just a bit expensive considering I want to buy a new phone in Q1, what about Kindle hdx 8.9?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cderrick14:
I purchased the kindle fire hdx a couple days ago. It has great hardware, feels a bit flimsy, but overall a nice build. The blinding problem is the software. I didnt realize how much I missed not having the Google play store. Sideloading apps works, but its a pain considering how much easier the Google play store is.

Even after I rooted the kindle, it still was not a lot of fun to use.

Anyways, I returned the Kindle and got the Sony Z instead. I'm very happy with the choice. The Sony has a nicer feel and build, the screen is comparable, and the software is superb.

The Kindle is grest if you use Amazons services, otherwise I would go with the Sony.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tel033:
Yes I read about that, without prime it's just not a very good choice, and I think amazon prime is 80 dollars a year right?

My problem with z is that it is already a bit old, and do you feel a difference between s80p and s4 pro?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pangiotis24:
nope.no difference between s800 and s4 pro.every game plays without lag and there is no noticeable difference.if you can notice 1 millisecond difference on app opening then congrats for your eyes
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
The difference between both is bigger than that, but the S4 Pro works like a champ. Didn't had any problems with it. Putting my XTZ next to my Xperia S with a S3, the difference is huge...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwepruk:
So I went ahead and bought it. Like I said, the main reason was because it's waterproof and I can use it in the hot tub (browsing, music, etc.).

It was on sale, so $400 instead of the usual $500. IMO, it's about a $350 tablet hardware wise, but it's the only one that is waterproof. The new Android tablets do have better screens and faster processors and some of them are running 4.3. I'm not a big gamer, so I don't really get into pushing the limits on graphics.

That said - after one day of use, I'm pretty happy. Initial thoughts:

Pros -

- Even though it's not the best screen, it's quite good and better then I expected after most reviews.

- Light and thin

- While not the most current hardware, it's definitely respectable. It doesn't feel super fast, but it also never felt slow. It's comparable with my iPad 4.

- Decent battery life. Heavy use this weekend yesterday including streaming audio, browsing, setting everything up, it lasted from Sat night until this (Mon) morning with about 7 hours of on screen time.

Cons

- It's flimsy. I took the first one back because it creaked and the screen would distort and have phantom touches. The replacement was a bit better, but will still have phantom touches if you hold it by the corner.

- Too many notifications from the tablet itself. I don't want to use stamina mode, stop reminding me.

- For all the hype about the camera, it's pretty mediocre - not a big deal for a tablet though.

- No Wireless charging. Would be great and eliminate the need to use that flap over the micro-usb

I've tried other Android tablets, the first Galaxy Tab and the Asus Transformer Infinity and I didn't like either and both had some bugs, so far, not the case with the Sony.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monivan:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] miha2:
Hello everyone. I'm not sure if the same question already is on the forum or not, but here's the problem.

Not so long ago, I deleted my account from the Mail app. Can't remember the reason, but if there was a problem, there was a problem, easy enough... So, later (the same day) I re-entered all my login information. It connected without any problems, and I was satisfied. However, recently enough, I started to have spam in my Inbox folder on my phablet. I don't know the reason, and that's my question: is there any way to stop receiving spam into my Inbox folder? OK if Spam folder, but there isn't one. The email is at Yahoo. Could you recommend me a few steps to successfully resolve this issue? Not so long time ago, I received a spam about growing man's organ (hope guessed which). I'm a man, but I don't need it to be bigger. So, any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Contacted Samsung about this issue, hasn't been resolved.

P.P.S. The security was used SSL. Now switched to TLS, in hope the spam stops...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ItsLasher:
Is the spam hitting the Yahoo inbox online? If so it's Yahoo and borked settings on your web mail.

Also NO spam filter is perfect and things will get past all the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] miha2:
Just now checked the web version of Yahoo. Spam is in Spam folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] miha2:
So, any other ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ItsLasher:
Gmail.

My wife used Yahoo for years and after the last round of changes she finally switched up. Yahoo is made of fail and all things stupid in recent years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] miha2:
The thing is, I have 2 general accounts, one Gmail, another - Yahoo. The one on Yahoo is in Email app, so that is the only reason I'm asking. I do not wish to connect them, so that's why I'm using 2 apps individually. If I wanted to connect the two accounts, I'd ask how to connect, not how to stop receiving spam in Inbox.

Newegg is selling black or white for $259 on ebay

I just got ordered one directly from newegg site the other day for $279. I never dealt with newegg before. Do you think they would adjust the price on my original order to $259?

If I return the $279 back, does newegg pick up the return shipping or do I?

Not going to lose sleep over the $20, but if pretty simple process and minimal hassle, $20 is twenty bucks :)

I took the Ebay route too - at 5 am this morning! No other source will approach this price for some time.

That means No Returns if you don't like it. If device not functioning or broken returns are allowed.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Reckoning:
You're reading something into the ebay buyer protection program that isn't there. If the item is "not as described" or you didnt received it then it would be covered. Receiving an item with a manufacturing defect is not specified addressed in the terms of the sale and assuming you could utilize the BPP in such a manner would be foolish.
[G Pad 8.3 General] alfuh:
So Newegg doesn't want anything to do with a "I don't like it after all" return, but a new item is covered by manufacturer warranty anyway right?

So it would be more of a pain to deal with manufacturer instead of retailer, but either way you wouldn't be stuck with a lemon right?
[G Pad 8.3 General] GTabJosh:
Let me share a story that may ease some fears. I dropped my HTC DNA and smashed the screen. Screen repairs are expensive, so I made the mistake of going with the cheapest vendor -- Mission Repair. Not only did they do a shoddy job, gluing the speaker back askew and leaving the red stripes on the side loose, but it was returned with the wifi malfunctioning.

I paid with PayPal (owned by ebay, of course), so I followed their procedures and opened a dispute, where I told my side of the story. Mission Repair actually responded that I should return the unit to them so that they could determine whether there was anything wrong with my phone! Of course this was unacceptable to me, so I escalated the case to a claim, which would force PayPal to intervene. I summed up my story and MR was given 10 or 14 days to respond.

I guess they realized that they had no ground to stand on, because AFAIK PayPal never heard back from them. Right after MR's response period expired, PayPal refunded me the cost of the repair. Well, in the meantime, the problem with my wifi cleared up. I wasn't about to say anything, though, because I felt I deserved at least a response from MR. If the wifi had still been broken, I would have pushed for more than the repair cost.

So, the point of the story is that PayPal and ebay seem serious about resolving disputes. I don't know about ebay buyer protection, but it's easy to get PayPal to arbitrate a claim. If this doesn't put many minds at ease, just look at NewEgg's 99.5% positive rating on ebay.

Common Sense Helps

I have to agree with those sensible folk who see no issue here with returns. The fact is, our market is full of tinkerers who don't know what they want or need. They buy stuff, toy with it and return it on a whim. It passes the time.. Those are the people whom Newegg is trying to skirt.

Any deal-breaking defect in an item sold in a sealed box as 'new' makes it eligible for return - whether bought on Ebay, through a website or in a store. The LG Pad, as far as we can tell, can come with one or two issues: it may have a thin blue line at the very edge of the screen after warming up which many can't see or don't mind. (I have the Kindle HDX which has a blue tint all round the left and bottom of the screen and almost never notice it now). The bezel round the LG screen may or may not slightly separate. Speaker quality may not be what Kindle users are used to. I wouldn't consider any of those deal-breakers at this price, but if any were bad enough, or something interfered with normal use, I am certain Newegg would take the item back. Their good name matters much more.

Most reviewers found this a gorgeous, smartly manufactured tablet with a quality feel that belied its $350 price. At $259, with no tax or shipping, we should be laughing.
