[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braderzf50:
From the UK here, I requested an RMA last Thursday due to a dead pixel and screen bleed. The process for me was really straightforward once I had rang them. They sent a replacement unit through yesterday but unfortunately that's even worse than my original. So I rang them again and they were really helpful. I've requested a refund so I'm going to send back my old unit first then they will send more shipping materials to send back my replacement then refund my money once it's all complete. Hope it all carries on as smooth as it has so far.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FazCapone:
Ah, guess you got quite lucky. The first time there seemed to be an absolute doughnut on the other end of the phone. He couldn't comprehend what a dead pixel was, got me send him a photo and then replies saying they can't replace it.

I had a bit more luck the second time round, my plan was to just straight up return it and just buy a new one with the refunded money. The woman asked why I wanted to return it, I explained the situation and she said she can arrange a replacement for me right now. The only thing I'm worried about is whether it's a dead pixel or not. Aren't dead pixels normally black? This is like really white, it might be a scratch on the inner surface of the screen or something, but it shows up on all backgrounds apart from Black. I guess we'll see what happens once I return it.

Are you thinking of buying another one with the refunded money? I can't wait to get my hands on a perfect one, it was just buttery smooth and such a pleasure to use. It's got such a premium feel to it, gives the iPad a run for it's money.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AjunNg:
Dead pixels don't necessarily mean black.

It could mean, its RGB toggles are out of whack, and end up lighting up fully, causing full bright white.

If that's the case, you have grounds for a refund / exchange. Under UK's Distance Selling Regulations, which is now changed to Consumer Contracts Regulations, you are able to return it within 7 WORKING days (essentially, could last from a Friday to the Tuesday, 11 days later) of receiving your goods.

If Google gives you this dead pixel policy BS, then UK law will override it. If however you're over the 7 day period, it gets a little tricky, but you're still protected from the Sale of Goods Act 1979, which states that sellers must provide replacements, or refunds on defective products.

And a dead pixel is a clear defect, for you, for me, for the judge, and jury.

Any good powerbank out there. At least a 10000 mah above.

To be able to use fast charging feature in Note 4.

:p
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] soul777toast:
Actually that sounds like it would be really cool if it exists, I'd also be interested in knowing if there's a powerbank that supports quick charge. I've held off on picking up a powerbank for a while now, but if something like this is even possible it would probably get me interested, it'd be pretty awesome to be able to just plug in to a backup battery and have it charge up the phone with quickcharge speed ;P I wouldn't be surprised to find out it's not possible though... Anyone know?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] marleyb:
Think the dual voltage 5 and 9 volt needed for quickcharge wil be a problem to design a powerbank with a feature like that. I don't say it's impossible but probably won't be cheap or small formfacfor
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jianrong:
Yea. Is cool if fast charge powerbank then bring out to fast charge note 4. Lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] lisbon2004:
There is this compact power bank (and it supports quick charging itself within 3 hours - via 2.1A input - at least on paper)

APE MP5200Q on Alibaba (not aliexpress)

Weight: 132g

Input: 5V/2.2A

Outport: 5V/3.5A,9V/1.5A,12V/1.5A

3 output ports: 2 USB ports and 1 built-in micro USB cable

Over-charge/discharge, over-current,short protection

Quick Charge output port: output 9V/1.5A or 12V/1.5A on Quick Charge state

Battery Cell type: Samsung Li-ion 18650

Quick charge 2.0: Class A

and it looks good too!

the only missing thing to make it a perfect power bank, would be 15W wireless charging capability...

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666pluto:
I have been using Galaxy S3 for the last 2 years, along side 7000 mAh zerlolemon battery.

overall my experience with it, considering it was my first smartphone, was OK.

but now I'm looking for:

a bigger screen & a good looking one! (5.5"+)

better camera (S3's camera sucked!)

better speakers & sound quality overall (i watch YouTube a lot at work, some /movies/TV show as well)

newer & less laggy hardware (S3 is just to old, although i run custom roms on it!).

removable battery & SD card storage.

the LG G3 seems to answer all of my wishes from a new smartphone. but i read about a lot of bugs & defects complaints using google search, which scares me a bit!

what do you guys think? would love to hear your opinions, which will be more valid then online reviews of short use since you had the phone for longer time! good & bad stuff.

I probable will buy the 32GB storage unite, since it has bigger ram & the extra 16G will do only good since the camera files will be heavier compared to the S3!

thanks in advance :).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccs16rocks:
I had used S3 for nearly 2 years as my daily driver and it was a pretty good piece because of it's customizability. But, recently I received the G3 as a birthday gift and even though it's design and hardware impressed me, i felt like something is missing. Sure, it has that beautiful screen, sexy curves, overall amazing design, and an amazing camera but the UI tends to stutter a lot which is really wierd considering the amount of power the snapdragon could deliver. It should have been a child's play, but apparently it isn't. Also, the display has an exagerated software applied sharpening, which to this day i still can't see the benefit of it making your fonts at different sizes look ugly. Furthermore, the hardware gets sometimes so hot from simple tasks making it simply unbeareable for your hands.

When i encountered ocasional lag with my S3 i understood that I was asking too much from an old hardware, but i never expected a new-gen phone to behave like this. We will have to wait and see what improvements the custom roms could bring to the table.

If you spend a lot of time watching and listening videos, the speaker does it's job honorably while the so called premium headphones felt less dynamic than the S3's. At this point, the M8 could be a better deal it's only downside being the display size (- 0.5'' ).

To be honest, I still dont know what to say. I guess i have big expectations from a flagship.

I strongly suggest trying the phone before buying it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomogitarist:
Since S3 is only phone you had any upgrade will be good. Just choose what do you prefer in phone. Htc for speakers, G3 for screen, samsung for water resistance. Battery life and performance are pretty much same for all of them. Try them out all and you will see which one suits you best

I used to have S3 too, only thing I miss is very black screen. But that's about it. G3 is better in every way.

If you dont care about your phone being outdated fast, you can also get Z3
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3axel:
I myself have switched recently from S3 LTE to the G3.

On the S3 a lot was possible with mods, ROMs and solutions from this great community :good: , it was and is a great phone.

My impressions on the G3 in comparison to S3 LTE are:

+ good speed and responsitivity

+ larger screen is nice

+ input handling (touch screen) seems more responsive to me

+ good signal qualities

+ excellent battery life

- community much less developed (no wonder, its pretty new and bump! is just out)

- wireless charging much more fidgety

- considerable more bulk (well, can't have it all :o )

- display is not as crisp and bright as with S3

Overall I am happy with the new phone and not looking back.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidmyworld:
Great summary ccs16rocks. My feelings are exact to yours. In order to reduce many of the issues you identified, I had to root, modify, etc but this has not fixed all of the issues. I've changed my framework to ART and launcher to Nova, disabled all animations, scaling, etc. as well to help with stutter and slow downs, that helped dramatically.

After all of the work that I've put into the phone, there are still some things that I cannot fix or improve and I don't think they can be.

-Camera speed: I'm used to iPhone 5/6 performance/speed. There are apps that can speed up shooting, but none can reach the speed of an iPhone. Luckily there are tons of apps out there, if you have the time to try them and find the right one. I've been through a bunch so far and The apps that do work well (speed/performance), usually don't have any other features that seem practical to have integrated into the app. (video, square, panorama, etc)

-Battery life: I'm using a variety of tools/task killers/etc to minimize what's running, eating battery life or slowing the phone down. This varies and I can't seem to find a real solution to extending battery life any longer other than just not using the phone :laugh:

That being said, I'm happy with the phone. The hype over the quality of the camera is odd to me though. Primarily because it's nice, but it isn't that great. Maybe it's better than other Android camera phones?

Another major concern is, with all the rooting/hacking/modding I've done to get the phone to operate more efficiently, I'm curious as to how I can upgrade to Lollipop when it comes out, since LG G3 handsets are getting it soon :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666pluto:
Just want to thank everyone who replied :).

after reading your comments, i decided to stay with the current S3 and skip the LG G3. although it's specification sound perfect for me, i just don't want to risk getting a new phone with all this possible bugs and defects! I will just wait until the note 4 or nexus 6 drop to a normal price in my country, don't mind waiting 6+ month for that. it's not like the S3 is a bad device, it does the job well enough for now.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivasanti:
If you read enough stuff on the internet ALL phones have stuff wrong with them - To me the G3 has some minor software hic ups with its launcher, nothing that makes it worth not buying.

Hi

I have searched this forum as well as Google and I have been unable to unearth any material germane to the topic disabling AMR-HR in WM5 or the PDA itself.

Cingular employs the AMR-HR voice codec here in the USA and it is advantageous to Cingular but can hamper the experience of end user. Over at Howardforums, we were able to disable the AMR-HR codec in quite a few especially Motorola's.

Where can I look in the registry to alter/disable the voice codecs employed in the phone?
