[G Tablet General] cscotty:
Good idea. Im gonna power it on right now and test it as much as possible to see if everything works. If its ok and I get the same warranty, I'll try and talk Sears down. If not, then its a new one. I'll be leaving work in 30 minutes and Sears is just down the road, so I should be reporting back about the swap by 5.

Thanks,

Scott
[G Tablet General] GideonX:
I wouldn't even bother investing time into it, immediate return for me.

Cat hair? Fingerprints? Not new, not what I paid for.
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
So Im at Sears now and I just returned the item. Funniest thing, the guy asked me what was wrong and I told him. So he said no problem we will exchange it. Then he punched some buttons and here comes a yellow "clearance" sticker that he just slaps on it for $279. Go figure.

[G Tablet General] brew1brew:
If it has the power supply/charger and USB cable, I would buy it for $279. the manuals consist of some papers that point you to the WEB.

then when you get it home, go to the DEV page here and download clockwork mod and for me Cyanogenmod and make it sing. :)
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
Wow my day gets better and better. So I'm waiting for the new tab and they tell me they have 20 in stock but they can't find it. So they give me a full refund and send me to another store. I asked if I can buy the one I just returned and he said no. It's already processed to go to the warehouse. Again, go figure lol
[G Tablet General] copc:
Wait so they have a unit you returned, slapped a 249 sticker on it and they will not sell it to you?

I would talk to a manager, if that is the one you want. That is not customer service.
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
I didnt even bother. The guy seemed quite miserable too. Well I'm at another Sears location now and they handed me the item. Guess what, its shrink wrapped. Looks like I got a brand new one. Gonna get home and hack the mess out of this thing lol.

Thanks

[G Tablet General] copc:
Congrats, the main thing is that you are happy with the purchase.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
This happens all the time, unfortunately. And not just at SEARS.

The only thing they screwed up on is not cleaning the darn thing before putting it back on the shelves. If you're going to break your own store rules, at least do it well. :)

As for a "refurb", the device I have now was a clearance / closeout item - had a lot of fingerprints and the previous owner rooted it. But, for $215 with tax I could live with a used item. On occasion the Outlet will have a GTab at $200 or less - most of the time it's $279.
[G Tablet General] cybermage1:
Stories like these and others are the reasons I don't shop at Sears anymore. After I'd long since stopped shopping there, my wife bought a lawnmower from our local Sears. It had a gas leak. About 1/4 of the way through my lawn it ran out of gas and I learned it was leaking it all over my lawn.

The store insisted since I used it I couldn't return it. They said they would have to "fix it" for me. After the manager raised his voice to me I flipped the receipt over, read the line that states "if you are not completely satisfied at any time return the items for a full refund." I said "I'm not satisfied. Do I need to explain that to corporate?". He jerked the receipt out of my hands and started pounded the refund into the register without saying another word.

My previous experiences with Sears were similar. Same problem with Western Auto which at the time was owned by Sears. I finally got a hint and stopped shopping at there or any of their subsidiaries like K-Mart (which has another whole string of horror stories regarding misleading pricing I could discuss.)

My G tablet is on it's way from Staples right now. I think Santa may hang onto it though.

@ ehunyadi: I enjoy your videos on YouTube -- I had actually returned a Gtablet because of it's poor performance, but after seeing responses here and your videos I picked another one up. But I returned mine without any cat hair in it ;-)

[myTouch 3G Slide General] KCRic:
There are tons of useful functions that come with a2sd aside from the ability to install apps to your sdcard. While many of them are useful one in particular is very useful - setting the low memory kill sizes. These are the limits that if met or exceeded, tell the system to start killing apps. I just started playing around with it and any input would be great so I don't steer anyone the wrong way. I assume the higher the setting (MB) the less often apps are killed, and the lower setting (lower MB) causes apps to be killed really frequently but that's where I'm not sure since it could mean if the memory drops below the higher MB then apps will be killed - if that makes sense.

Anyway, here's what I got from terminal and I'll add the other functions later.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomqman:
ive never ran out or room on 512mb. plus you also have apps 2 sd storing 50% or more of the data on 14gb flash
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananenlarry:
on my i9000 i had 130 mb from 1,85 gb used. so i think the 1 gb would be enough space for me!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lootes:
I also suppose it comes down to what type of user your are. If you are into games, I have read that there are some impressive looking games on the horizon. These games could end up eating up a lot of space. That being said I am sure there will be a workaround developed to the 1GB limit.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Well the maximum space allowed for any app is 50megs. Google recently raised it from 25megs.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderdroid:
It should be a market requirement that if your app is over 10MB that it must support apps2sd
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lootes:
Didn't realize that, well than there should be plenty of space.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superfrag:
What games can do however, is have the basic install small, but when you launch it first time, it'll download whatever data it needs and save to SD.

That's what happens for Pocket Legends and Dungeon Hunters. The latter from Gameloft downloads around 250-270 MB to your sd card, which is required for the game to work.
[Desire HD General] Farsquidge:
From turn on, using the HTC software to sync my Outlook, I have nothing but good times from this device.

I have not suffered the /INIT process problem, USB debug is disabled but when I connect to my laptop it auto-enables so I may have a new (not yet released OTA) firmware but IT WORKS!

Everything is way past my expectations and am glad to be back in the fold.

BTW, I dont find any different battery drain as from my HD2.

Accepted, not all batteries are the same and some may have poorer charge holders than others but due to the 'new gadget factor' I always accept initial extensive drain at first then it settles after I get 'used' to the new unit and the battery gets conditioned.

I also always use my phone as my alarm clock so it always goes on charge every night at bedside and I always buy a car charger for when driving as Bluetooth in the car uses extra power.

Happy pig here....

[Nook Color General] norkoastal:
I dont have that problem.. I would recommend taking your unit back to BN and comparing with an in-store demo unit. If they match then I dont know what to say :-)

Once (hopefully) CM6 is ported, there is a color calibration adjustment built into settings. However this adjustment would only help adjust a fully working screen.
[Nook Color General] mtmyers:
I was just in a B&N replacing my faulty Nook Color.

They had tons of NC's about, none that I looked at had any kind of yellow tint to the screen.

It's probably just a defective unit.

Hello everyone,

What is the difference between these 2 ROM?

- RUU_Photon_HTC_FRA_1.36.406.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe

- RUU_Photon_HTC_FRA_1.07.406.1_Radio_Signed_20100305_Ship.exe

For my telephone, of HTC support site, I should download and install the ROM 1.36.406.1.

But, I would like a equivalent ROM in Chinese because I would like to change the phone in chinese (for my wife who is Chinese)

Where I can find a Chinese version compatible with my phone?

(I found only the "1.07.708.1" version on the ShippedRoms.com site but I think that I need the "1.36.708.3" version)

Maybe someone can give me a chinese HD Mini serial number with which I could download the good version....

Thank by advance !!!
[HD Mini General] emrause:
the roms starting with 1.36 are newer than the 1.07

but sorry someone else should help for the serial...:o but at least try the 1.07 you got from shipped rom and see if suit you..
[HD Mini General] jbs68:
Yes, i can try the 1.07 asian HK version... But i just hope that somebody can give me the version 1.36 of this rom...

On shipped ROMs site, this version are missing but, on HTC site the version is available but i need a chinese serial number for download the latest version....

If someone have a chinese serial number... He is welcome !! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdWRX:
Hello fellas. I've been with my G2 for about a month now, awesome phone, but the thing is I only can use EDGE network and not 3G.

Since my carrier here in Venezuela is Movistar, which operates in these bands: 850, 1900 Mhz.

Is there anyway to make my T-Mobile G2 work with my local carrier? Thanks in advance for the help.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
No, the T-Mobile G2 is not compatible with those UMTS bands (it only uses 1700/2100). If you wanted 3G to work, you would need to get the Desire Z NAM instead (i.e., the Bell Canada version). Probably too late since you already have the phone, but maybe you can sell your G2 and pick up one of those instead?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yep, he's right. The OP bought the wrong version.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdWRX:

Do you have an app called "SETCPU"? if not some android builds or older builds don't have control over the CPU and leaves it running at 998MHz even in sleep mode when it should be 245MHz in sleep mode. Get the app in this fourms. It will even allow you to overclock up to 1190MHz for extra proformance but may kill your battery faster. I once had this problem and sloved it with SETCPU. Good Luck.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
you can also set a profile for your CPU to max out at say 600mhz if it goes above 40 degrees c or what have you.

As you can see above I'm currently on 2.3.9 running Android 2.2. I thought I had updated to 2.3.310 (or whatever the one prior to the latest 2.3.340 update was) using the TBH file, but apparently I didn't or I am just clearly misunderstanding something. I'm also running Fission 2.3. Where I need help is, how do I get to the newest 2.3.340 and Android 2.2.1 update without borking my phone? I've tried reading around but the number of versions out there have really just left me scratching my head.

Any help is much appreciated.
[Droid X General] debaucher:
If I am not mistaken, the 2.3.9 you see is due to the custom rom you are running.

I would just update your fission to the latest version and that should get you up to date (2.3.1 I believe)

If not, you will need to do a full system sbf to 2.3.320 then the file only sbf to 2.3.340

[Fascinate General] TheSonicEmerald:

[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
If he's new to android and wants a stock phone with google that works fairly well,i say get the dx. If he wants to get into rooting and likes a slighty smaller phone that is faster get the fascinate.

I had both and even with the gps problems i still would choose the fascinate.
[Fascinate General] J Shed:
That's a pretty crappy reason to suggest a device.

I got the Fascinate because IMO, the screen is superior, and I like the overall look/feel of the device better than the X.

Froyo is just gravy when it lands.

There's no way for us to know what's best for him.

[Fascinate General] jpcdeux:
The changelog for dj05 said its an update before next years Froyo release so a month at least would be a good call

- posted via the fascinating phone Verizon forgot about already.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
Honestly, I'd base it largely on device size preference, because fanboy-ism aside the Droid Incredible (3.7" screen), the Fascinate (4") and the Droid X (4.3") are all excellent devices with similar specs. And each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The Incredible has a subpar GPU but uses the near-universally acclaimed Sense UI.

The Fascinate gets bloated with Bing and TouchWiz and Samsung isn't the best at updating software but it has (overall) the best hardware specs.

The Droid X also comes bloated with the less-than-ideal Motoblur UI, plus the phone itself is shaped a bit oddly for most peoples' pockets.

But quirks aside, chances are someone new to Android would be perfectly happy with any of the three devices.

Or, of course, you can wait for new devices. It certainly looks like Tegra 2 (dual core) devices will dramatically outperform anything on the market today. But, and this is a big but, you may be stuck waiting until mid-2011 when Verizon starts rolling out LTE phones. It's hard to say at this point whether or not they'll put out more high-end 3G Android phones when LTE's on the horizon. Logically they'd want super-high-end launch devices for a super-high-end network, and there are only so many phones that they can release. That's not to say we definitely couldn't see a dual-core 3G device all of a sudden, but it seems increasingly unlikely.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Latest word is that DJ05 was scrapped due to to many issues. Also, the best way to pick a phone would be to find a store and go in and play around with the devices you're looking at. I didn't like the physical buttons on the front of the DX, and the hump at the back was odd when holding the phone.

[Fascinate General] jpcdeux:

If you don't plan on unrooting it, the samsung fascinate is a piece of crap...

However, if you do, samsung's phone is probably the most flexible. But it's not necessarily a good thing for everyone. So for regular users, I don't recommend the fascinate for purple enjoy don't plan on unrooting or froyo.
