[Glass Q&A] MisterRich:
I've had my glass since this past weekend, and as fun as a neat gimmick can be, it kind of got old fast. I have multiple issues with mine ( understanding it isn't a finished product ). Some of the problems I'm running into are;

Turning itself on ( I'll charge it for the night and keep it turned off, and when I unplug it in the morning, they're already on somehow )

Really poor battery life ( I know some people report bad battery, but, this is beyond it. It's on standby most of the time, and I'll still only get maybe 4-5 hours on it )

Very poor Wi-Fi ( Even when I'm in the same room as my router, I show only 1-2 bars is strength )

At this point, the glass has failed to really blow me away as a new device, however, I've noticed Google says if returned, there is none right now, but in the future could later charge a re-stocking fee. I'm wondering if anyone has returned theirs for whatever reason and have been charged one? If mine is having such issues and was sent back, I would like to assume the worst is I'd pay for my own shipping+handling.

Thoughts and/or experience?
[Glass Q&A] jackwagon06:
Where did you see the return policy? I have had them for 12 hours, and like yourself, am not blown away. Is that it? I keep saying to myself. I have a couple account issues, as it seems only to be able to recognize one gmail account at a time. They are neat, but not $1500.00 neat.
[Glass Q&A] MisterRich:
Exactly my thoughts. Not $1,500 neat. Especially acknowledging in the future production release there's no chance they'll retail $1,500 as well. My guess is once a final product is released they'll be 1/3 of that price. Moving along from that, here is where I read the terms for Glass including return information:

https://www.google.com/glass/terms/

Return Policy

If for any reason you do not wish to keep your Device, you have up to 30 days from the date the Device is delivered to you to cancel your purchase of the Device and your contract with Google. If you exercise your right of cancellation and the Device has been delivered to you, you are responsible for returning the Device as soon as possible and at your own cost. To initiate a return please contact Glass Support and obtain a return authorization. For some returns Google may charge you a restocking fee. Please review the restocking policies posted here to determine whether such fees apply to you. Upon Google's receipt of the returned Device, Google will issue a refund in your Google Wallet account using your initial payment method minus any applicable shipping and handling and restocking fees.

You must take reasonable care of the items that you wish to return, and we request that you return the Device with its original packaging and any accessories. Upon Google's receipt of the returned Device, Google will issue a refund in your Google Wallet account for the amount paid for the Device, less any shipping and handling charges, within a reasonable time. If you decide to cancel the purchase of the relevant Device as set out in this paragraph and if you fail to return the Device in accordance with these Terms, you may be charged a sum for our direct cost of recovering that Device, and we may deduct that sum from your refund.

I did actually just get off the phone with Google Glass support this morning and informed them the glass program wasn't right for me. They did send a return shipping label to send back. So far so good, so I will probably be sending them back this upcoming week.
[Glass Q&A] kflanegan:
Please keep this thread updated. I just purchased my explore glass in tangerine and am not sure if I will be holding onto my pair for the $1,700 the total cost ended up being. (I opted for the stereo headset as well + tax) I'm really excited to try them out but after reading threads like these feel like I may have a similar experience. My delivery is scheduled for tomorrow, hopefully they arrive before I have to go to work. I would like to know the return process and outcome for you. Thanks
[Glass Q&A] sum182:
Hey guys, I did return my Glass, only reason being was Money, couldn't afford it after plumbing issues at the house. You have 30 days to do so. Just contact Glass support, let them know. They send you a box and a UPS label, pack everything up, ship it back to them, and about a week later you'll get a full refund. No restocking fee or anything. A VERY easy and painless process.
[Glass Q&A] boomer7638:
Good info- I have had mine since Dec. 13th. I've had a few issues-

Why can't the battery be on the left side?? All the weight it on one side, not terrible but just kinda funky-

Where the metal ends right above my right ear, scratches my ear- I've seen multiple people complaining about this and putting mole skin on it-

Plain home screen? Just the time?

No real settings? No ability to clear cards?

Battery isn't terrible bad (unless you're showing them to everyone).

Yea it's neat but still way too early for a release. I'm going to send mine back and get my $1,620 back... Sooner rather than later too- If they fall off my head and break they're not returnable and can't be fixed.

Anybody ever think about selling them on ebay?? I've seen a few pair go for $2,000+ within the last few days, only a couple hundred $ profit after ebay fees but still better than returning for $0 profit...
[Glass Q&A] MisterRich:
Just like mentioned above, it was really painless. I called Google support and their emailed me a shipping label. They however did not send me a box. I will maybe try contacting them again to see if they'd be willing to do so because I'd rather send it back in their custom box than something I put together. I considered selling them on eBay but their privacy policy does mention they don't want owners selling it third party, and I'd hate to be in the scenario someone who buys it has a problem and then tries contacting Google Glass support and find out I was the original owner by serial and they get upset with me for breaking the policy. Maybe I'm just over paranoid.

Anyways, seems quite painless as long as you do it within the 30 days, the support was very prompt and polite and didn't dispute the problem. I informed them they just weren't meeting my needs. I just couldn't keep them charged in order to play with them. Hope this helps anyone who's curious.
[Glass Q&A] kflanegan:
I have also initiated my return process through email. I'll keep the thread updated with my experience. I used my Glasses over the past week in various circumstances and while I enjoyed the neat factor and various built in features cannot currently justify the high price tag for my everyday use. My main concerns are battery life and real world use case scenario's. My battery typically lasted 3-4 hours maybe 5-6 with light use. This seems short for the hardware involved and tiny screen the device needs to power. I believe if there was a more expansive settings menu where wifi and bluetooth could be turned off when not in use battery life could easily be extended to 7-8 hours for taking pictures/videos and such. I couldn't find enough use cases for the current crop of glassware available and found the cards for updates very annoying after they built up over the days and week I used Glass. No way to dismiss them apparently even after a factory reset and new setup. Anyway when it's all said and done I felt very lucky to have the opportunity to use Glass even for just one week. This experience has kept me very interested in the new technology and I tried to evangelize and give any interested geeks the chance to try out my pair whenever someone came up to me and asked questions. I won't miss all the stares from people who had no idea what was on my face and certainly let me know it when I glanced their way. Also constantly worrying about where the glasses are and making sure they were safe and not in danger will be a sigh of relief. ;)
[Glass Q&A] z0mghenry:
I initiated my return process via phone this morning. I should be getting an empty box with a shipping label. Indeed it was a very neat gadget but I simply could not justify the 1600 price tag on it. It's got a lot of great apps that have potential though. I will be following the news about them closely still.

-edit-

Got the box Monday morning. It seems from the instructions that they alloted no room for the accessories in the return box?
[Glass Q&A] Caffeinekid:
Agreed

All of the aforementioned issues appear to be the norm. I contacted Google for return and got the hard sell, and decided to try them for another week just for good measure, but battery life coupled with price vs utility makes keeping them unlikely. Although I DO like the Tesla and Strava apps quite a bit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] irodex:
Anyone else having problems when you are on the edge of a 4g / 3g area? When you are in one of these "grey areas" (which is basically all of San Diego) your phone will keep switching from 4g to 3g (which renders your data connection basically useless).

Obviously you could turn off your 4g to prevent this. Anyone else have this problem? Any way to prevent it / boost your signal?

I had a similar issue wouldn't get any texts or calls but email sync etc would work. Turning off lte was fixing this issue.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] orobin:
Hello,

I own a Wizard, sold in France as Qtek 9100 or SPV M3000.

I would like to build some themes or skin (I don't know the right word), for the pocket pc place, and also for the dial pad ( the place where you press the key to enter the phone number, before a call phone...)

for the moment, my most urgent look is to make skin the the dial pad, because the original one is really horrible...

please, do you know where I could find a tutorial to make skin / theme the the dial pad ?

thank you

Best regards,

Olivier

I installed a tmobile m919 s4 rom onto my att s4 using safestrap recovery

The rom installed fine with aroma installer everything works fine besides wifi it wont toggle on

I have tried multiple m919 kernels, ive even factory reset wipe cache system and dalvic and re installed rom.

The wifi will not toggle on at all.

i know we can flash other carriers roms just fine cause the rom flashes fine with lte data and shows No hiccups besides the wifi toggle issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dlnp22:
I know how silly this will sound, but have you turned the phone all the way off for a couple mins, then a fresh boot? I struggled with this very issue myself for the last 48 freaking hours(all the way up until 3am last night). Stumbled across a random post(somewhere) and this worked. After trying COUNTLESS ways to correct the wifi toggle issue(Odin'ing back to stock, even), this stupid and simple little thing fixed me right up.

I don't get a chance to help many people, but if this works for you, hit the "thanks" button! ;)

Hey, thanks for the reply. So if I'm on 4.3ROM with the latest modem, only if I'm not on 4.3 bootloader, I can still use the AWS NV file to get the ASW band, correct?

Is there anyone working on a 4.3 bootloader now? Thanks for your input.

[Sony Xperia L] subha7082:
warrenty for 3 months.accessorys doesnt have warentys.sound is very good.bass voice every thing is enhanched
[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
I recently bought and tried the MH-EX300AP headset, first of all they worked :good: as for sound quality they're quite standard, just like the ones you'd get with older Xperia's (e.g. my WT19i headset quality was same). But they're cheap which is good.

The MH750 seems a lot better, it is more expensive, so may be better. Although I haven't tried them for myself.
[Sony Xperia L] subha7082:
bro mh750 is cheaper than mh-ex300ap in india. mh750 = 216 INR and MH-EX300AP costs = 600+ ;)
[Sony Xperia L] myself_raghav:
M thinkng of buying MH-750 but the thing is in naaptol it is OEM.so i doubt will the sound quality will be like oiginal or not.

[Sony Xperia L] myself_raghav:
Even i buyed EX300AP from ebay.The sound quality was pathetic.May be that pair was not genuin
[Sony Xperia L] Rohit@91:
Skullcandy

I'm using SKULLCANDY INK'D 2 for last 6 months. Its one of the best sound quality you'll get under 1000 INR. I bought it for 599 INR from Ebay India.
[Sony Xperia L] myself_raghav:
Please upload the link of ebay.
[Sony Xperia L] myself_raghav:
I buyed ex300ap from Ebay..the voice quality was pathetic.The pairs you are getting in 500 from ebay whether it is mh750 or ex300ap,they are not original.they are oem product.
[Sony Xperia L] Sujan Baruah:
Oem or not

First of all am not stupid. I made it 100% sure to know its not oem and later after receiving I compared it to a friend's ex 300ap that came with his Z and they are cent per cent same. Same plastic cover, same design, same cable, same plug, same material, original tag with 16 digit serial numbers n all.

And as for the sound I did say it's not good enough without eq but compared to mh 750 it's a mile ahead in sound quality and light years ahead in comfort. I can't even tell its inside my ears.

My point is, if you want to decide between the mh750 and ex300ap.... Go for the latter.

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Oh and please note the fact that the kind of sound am enjoying now has lots of factors working upon it such as,

1. HTC Beats Audio (my phone is HTC One X endevoru)

2. 'Nrg player' with following settings,

Bass boost: 10

Treble boost: 2

Reverbration: 7

Pre Amp limit: 8%

Custom Equalizer with; 14-10-0-0-2-7-7-5-8-11 (from top to bottom i.e low to high frequency, hence first 14 is for 32hz and last 11 is for 16k hz).

Anyone with HOX should try above settings on this headphone, I bet you won't listen to any other (first of all because of the tonality and second of all the COMFORT).

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

Why not power amp you may ask but I just don't like the tonality of poweramp. Nrg player reverbration makes music very comfortable to listen to. Poweramp although is best to squeeze every single drop of a device's potential but I would rather use it with music systems and external speakers, not inears. Stereo separation sucks in PowerAmp (it's surround effect thing is pathetic ).
[Sony Xperia L] gaurravv5:

Hi there,

After spending like a month trying any camera app (paid and free) yesterday night I discovered that the new KitKat Camera 4.4.1 (which has been improved to support better pics on Nexus 5) seems to deliver great shots in all conditions; especially in night scenes, on day light is on par with manual (everything auto).

So from today I'm starting to use this as a daily camera.

Since I'm tired of claims without proof, here some comparisons (left kitkat, right stock):

Indoor the result is even better for kitkat but since I had not time to make a real comparison... sorry.

You can download:

Kitkat 4.4.1 Camera App

Kitkat 4.4.2 Camera App

I suggest to disable kitkat gallery because editing (with filters) doesn't work, and so instead will use the beautiful Stock Album. :D

p.s. I have not a tripod, so in night mode I tried several times to make a shot in auto without having a blur effect, I can't do better than this -.-'

Could you please post a .apk rather than a .zip that required manual installation or through custom recovery?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] DAddYE:
I'm unable to do that since it needs libs and frameworks. You could try to unzip and test just the camera apk.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] qasq:
will make some comparesment tommorow via stock camera, this kitkat one and best camera app shown somewhere here. For now this last app has far greater results than built in stock one. Which is sad. And good at the same time.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] tsmt971@yahoo:
I have tried and found that that application layout is broken. The control buttons of the Kakit Camera are on half display and overwritten by the navigation menu. I am running the stock ROM with Dual Recovery. I am still testing it, but the image quality looks similar to stock camera for me.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] DAddYE:
For the layout, you're right, tested now, I didn't noticed it before because my keys are hidden (since I'm using pie).

Btw in daylight they are pretty close (which is good), you should try it where the auto-mode fails for example in low lights.
