Not trying to cheat them in any way, but I don't really want to pay a 15% restocking fee if I don't have to ;) So since I just snagged the coupon code deal, is there anything I can say when I return it to get the BB guys to waive the restock fee?
[Xoom General] epik151:
buy at costco :-)
[Xoom General] burningembers:
Best Buy discontinued restocking fees a few weeks ago. If your store is still doing it...then...that sucks.
[Xoom General] madpoet:
What? Really? Can I find that announcement somewhere? :) I'll print off a copy and try to make them honor it ;)
[Xoom General] burningembers:
Here you'll find that there is only the mention of a 25% restocking fee on special order products (it used to mention 15% here): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-To...cy/pcmcat204400050028.c?id=pcmcat204400050028

This mentions a quote from an email sent out that also mentions restocking fees on tablets are no more: http://consumerist.com/2010/12/best-buy-puts-an-end-to-most-tyrannical-restocking-fees.html

Engadget summary: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/19/best-buy-nixes-restocking-fees/

This article mentions that while the 15% fee is still gone, some new rules about requiring photo ID were put in place: http://www.examiner.com/dvd-in-new-...xchanges-policy-a-sign-of-more-financial-woes

I'd say that's pretty strong evidence. However, I've never had any issues with restocking fees as my store has never charged them. YMMV. Best of luck!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Dr. Cooper:
Hi all, I'm Martin from Argentina, I write to ask and know if you can help me or guide me to find a solution.

I have a U20i that brought me outside.

When I received the phone had Android 1.6 and upgrade to 2.1.

I do not remember if the previous version had 3G, with almost no use.

My phone provider supports 850 and 1900 MHz bands.

In the configuration, network mode, I can see options:

- WCDMA

- GSM

- GSM / WCDMA (preferred)

When I search for available networks, I see only 2G networks.

Phone Details:

Mobile Network Type: EDGE

Firmware Version: 2.1-Update1

Kernel Version: 02/06/1929

Build Number: 2.1.1.A.0.6

Can you help me get a 3G signal?

PD: Sorry for my English

Thank you very much.

Greetings.

I have pretty flashed all the roms i can find, but I just want to keep one for a while, which has good battery life, stability. I flash sometimes like 3 roms a day. I just keep flashing. But anybody recommend a rom to stay with?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmithEC:
Paragon 6.0

Try that. This ROM gives me absolutely perfect GPS. One hundred percent of the time. Not real good for two hours, then bad for 10 minutes, and then real good again later tonight.

It might be that I can move 20 feet into my house and not get 12 satellites, but when I'm in my house I know where I am and I know my way around. Get close to the door, though, and you're rocking and rolling.

I'm about ready to appoint myself the Paragon RC6.0 cheerleader. It is that exciting.

I've got a 1010 and a new cheerleader popped up momentarily today with a 1012. I sure would like to see a good cross-section of handset GPS results with this ROM.

Some of the folks in that thread down there have broken out the crayons and gotten pretty motivated about producing some different color schemes for the ROM, so I guess there may be something for everyone by now.

Try it and tell us what you think.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] ilcontegis:
Hey guys,

I followed this post to install the ClockworkMod Recovery on my O1. I after installed mik_os's rom from here.

Everything works just fine, however I have some doubts:

1. When I open Rom Manager from the menu, it tells me that CloclworkMod Recovery is NOT installed! Why? I can start the recovery by pressing home+power+vol_down but I can't use the Rom Manager. Is this because there is no official port of Rom Manager for O1?

2. Is there something I can do make the Rom Manager work as for my N1?

Thank you very much for your kind attention

Regards

ilcontegis
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ilcontegis:
anyone? :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] neilmb:
I think that the problem is precisely because ROM Manager hasn't been ported over to the Optimus One (yet). The port of Clockwork recovery is still fairly recent and my guess is that ROM manager just isn't set up to recognize the O1 version of clockwork recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ilcontegis:
I see, thank you.

This means that with time there is a good possibiliy that it will be ported. Nice :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] MissingBonobo:
Pretty much as stated in the title. I rooted and installed the stock Inspire rom with sideloading and all that jazz from attn1. Before I rooted, when I turned off WiFi, it turned off Mobile Data (gave it a check mark under H+ instead of 2 arrows). But since the root, it doesn't do that most of the time. Sometimes I can fix it by going into Airplane Mode, enabling WiFi and turning off Airplane Mode. That'll fix it sometimes. What's going on? Anyone got a clue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] wildace408:
Try checking what apps you have running in the background. I've seen that sometimes some programs will try to use mobile data even if wifi is on. If you go to Settings>Apps>Manage Apps you can try closing apps using data one by one to see if after you close a certain one mobile data disconnects. Try any AT&T app especially.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MissingBonobo:
I tried shutting down all the running services and such, but it didn't fix it. I installed "TrafficStats Lite" to see what's drawing the bandwidth, and it just gives me "Total GPRS/EDGE/3G 55 kB", no programs using it. If I intentionally run a program on 3G, it shows up there. I'm stumped.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
I had the same problem. I rebooted and problem solved. Also you can put the mobile network widget on your screen and just turn off the network when on wifi.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rawb123456:
Check the apn set up. I created an apn to enable WiFi hotspot w/o data tether plan. When using my created apn my data never turned off either. Upon switching back to Medianet data was turned off and my "check mark" under the H+ was restored. Hope this helps.
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
I've seen varying degrees of the purple hue on people's cameras (the 5mp one, not the VGA), including my own. It seems worse when I'm inside. Is this a problem with the camera itself, or a software problem?
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
the atrix camera is really bad. all reviewers have shown the same quality in their pictures. i am reminded of the nokia e71, they promised they would fix it in software but they couldn't.

my guess is that it's the camera sensor itself, and it may be reduced (but not completely eliminated) with a software patch.

it would be a good idea to post this in the motorola forums. probably many people have done so already
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
I'm definitely going to be posting in the Moto forums. This is unacceptable. They had the power to have on the best smartphones on the market, but are going to start losing if they keep this up.
[Atrix 4G General] mattyv:
Any progress Here

Has anyone seen any movement or heard any news with regard to this issue? The camera is lame with this color issue. I was with a buddy and his Iphone camera beat the pants of this thing. I kind of felt jaded and jealous.
[Atrix 4G General] emoose:
I had the same concerns but after some serious experimentaion I learned a few things...

1: The default camera app is 75% of the problem. The pupleish hue comes from a chronicaly bad auto white balance setting. This can easily be fixed in photoshop. The other solution is to download an app like camera360 which gives you control over white balance. This is not a hardware issue but is just too bad of an implementation to excuse. Camera360 has a free trial which will let you play with white balance so you can see what I mean.

2: the remaining 25% is that this camera is noisy in all situations. Even moderate daylight shots as a bit grainy. Don't expect the camera to get quite to the level of iPhone 4 which uses a higher quality backlit sensor. I have both phones and have compared. Noise issues are greater on the atrix no question. This isn't fixable except in post processing.

That being said. I carry the atrix on a daily basis and don't miss the iPhone 4 camera that much. Basically when you use camera360 or one of the several other very good camera apps you can fix most problems. Make sure you have the maximum lighting the shooting situation allows.

Other than that photoshop helps. Even my high end cameras (lumix LX3 and canon 5d) get the photoshop treatment. it offers white balance correction and serviceable noise reduction.
[Atrix 4G General] mattyv:
Picnova - you the man

That makes a huge difference. thanks for the recommendation
[Atrix 4G General] kevyh:
Great info regarding Camera360...totally makes a world of difference (so far - just compared a couple of pics indoors between default camera app and camera 360).

What other options does the paid version add?

[Xoom General] bryanl:
After thinking about it it for a few minutes, I potentially understand why it doesn't work. If we are able to mount the drive, then the OS wouldn't have access to it. We really need the sd card support :)

No need to unlock the bootloader. Just download the file, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader. It will scan the file for a minute or so and then ask if you want to flash it. Just hit the up volume button to flash.

Another option is to go to samfirmware.com and using ODIN instal I9000XWJS5. Full instructions are on site. The advantage of this is you get a good stable ROM, smoothness, fast, better battery life and there is no need for a lagfix - much safer.
