[Xoom General] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Wow!!!!

You posted all of that on your Xoom? I thought it kind of weird that we would have to pay full price AND still have to activate (get a # from Verizon) myself. But on launch day I decided to go ahead anyway since it wasn't really a lock-in type of plan. However, I began to experience an uneasy feeling about the whole thing after playing around with the Xoom, remembering what it cost as I went along, remembering how things usually worked (in the past anyway) in relation to price of these types of things, you know, FULL PRICE = no having to deal with a wireless provider..etc, and decided pretty darn quickly (I had the device for a total of 3 hours) that I didn't want to continue with the current setup. I therefore took the device back to BB where I purchased it. They accepted the return and called VZW to deactivate everything, which they did, but I still recieved a bill for $38.27. I was told that that was for activating the device...etc., during my call to them to try and get a refund since I had the device for only 3 fricking hours. The rep I got was pretty nice and understanding and said that she could cancel the bill and I would owe nothing. I left it at that and a couple of days later, I recieved a bill for that same amount in my mailbox, so I called again to talk them about it. Well, by the time I got done with that phone call, I was told that I owed $3.27 and that that amount was the taxes that was on the bill to begin with. I thought, and said to the rep., HUH!!!, and she told me that their system has no way of reversing taxes. Rather than argueing over $3.27, I told her that I would just send them a money order. Does this sound plausible to anybody? Does anyone else think that their system is incapable of reversing taxes and that the money is actually going to be paid on the taxes? Just all so weird to me.

Oh yea, AND a couple of days later I went back to BB to see if the activation crap with Verizon was still going on (I thought I'd at least check things out) and sure enough it wasn't. I guess it was only a launch day thing. I ended up getting another Xoom WITHOUT having to deal with Verizon's crap.
[Xoom General] ixobelle:
so uhh... long story short? There was a billing error? I don't even see in your post about what.

I see all kinds of stuff about the army, your job, Android in general, and your gf, but nothing to do with the thread title...
[Xoom General] VegUnited:
I got a bet that says this asshole isn't from the United States or has any idea what a person in the military means to the average american like myself. We have the liberties and rights because they fight for them. Go Troll somewhere Gollum

What You Said
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
They are a former Marine just so'you know

OP: I would for starters file with the BBB in your area
[Xoom General] jamaicansolja:
So, you gave them all your information for them to be able to bill you and now are complaining. I paid full price @ Best Buy and my information was not needed. Why would it be if i'm paying full price? If they would of asked for all my info I would of called V the next day to make sure I didn't have a paying cycle as it just depends on the rep.

But you my friend failed and are blaiming Verizon.
[Xoom General] generic.imitation:
I think the most important point that he said was missed... his gf picked it up for him. need I say more?

/thread

also, all these threads that do not belong on the board, or are viewed as trolling should be voted on. I gave this a 1 star rating.
[Xoom General] Spawn026:
Verizon cancelled my data on day 1 and warned of the bill. Once it came in they told me to call and it would be cleared out. Bill went from 37 to 0.

Curious how can you be billed for a data bill you declined? You must sign the contract and submit your social security for credit checks before activation.
[Xoom General] monadzback:
He is trying to help the community. Most of you suck anyways. Thanks for the post op.
[Xoom General] justabrake:
All you have to do and I have done this before and won against T-mobile is go to the Small Claims Court and open a case against verizon. your case will be heard in 30 days
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
You'll probably have more luck on the Better Business Bureau website than posting on here. There's nothing any of us can really do about it, unless the Verizon CEO secretly lurks in here.

Good luck!
[Xoom General] androidlurker:
Silly me for thinking I'd find sympathetic ears here. My bad.
[Xoom General] monadzback:
@lurker these forums are full of haters man. Thanks for your service and good luck with the ordeal.
[Xoom General] setite:
Well said my good man. Verizon is the devil, I have known this since my dumbphone days :) They are too big and I am praying for an event that sees them lose so many subscribers that they drop to #3 or #4 and have to change tactics. This won't happen, but I can dream.
[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
The only difference between your post and his is you took a lot less words to say nothing.
[Xoom General] hi_its_ryan:
Thank you for being succinct OP
[Xoom General] duglas:
I must say after reading all that I am still not sure what the problem is.. Did they get your GF in a contract instead of month to month you can cancel? Or will they just not cancel your data plan at all??

I had no issue and took 10 minutes on the phone and was told to call back if I did see a charge on my bill and they would remove it..
[Xoom General] monadzback:
Thanks.
[Xoom General] neonerz:
How would they be billing you if your gf bought the Xoom? My BS meter is going nuts right now.
[Xoom General] verusevo:
I have no advice for you but i can tell you VERIZON is precisely why i returned my Xoom after just a week. I am yet to call and demand not to be charged for a data plan i never used and a BS activation fee. Especially considering i had to pay a $70 restocking fee. If they think im paying $120 just to rent the Xoom for a week they're nuts.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
I think your girlfriend handed over her SSN and signed a contract is what happened, but you should at least be able to stop the 3G service if you aren't going to use it.
[Xoom General] modru2004:
i returned my xoom to best buy today and called verizon to cancel the service. took me like 2 minutes and it was done.

basically i just told em i wanted to cancel service. at first started the usual bs about transferring account to someone else, told em device was returned to best buy and immediately after that she shut up and processed my request.

fastest ive ever dealt with any customer support lol.

so might i suggest a white lie. call and say you returned the device and need to cancel service, it makes it hard from them to BS you with a service you can no longer use.
[Xoom General] sgtcasey:
Why even lie? Just call and ask to cancel service. They should not have been forcing people to sign up to purchase a Xoom anyway.

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
key's their. maybe something went wrong while flashing cm7. did you try reflashing it?
[EVO 4G General] legendr34:
Thanks for the info. I didn't try to reflash yet, but perhaps I have too huh?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tuskedwolf:
I am a beginner and i just got done flashing that Rom, With my Previous roms that i have tested everything seems to work perfect except for a couple of issues, When placing a call i hear alot of static on my side and the other side of the phone as well in which no one can hear as to what i am saying. Any Ideas as to what it could it be? I have the New Mod plus the Magdlr and the Clockwork mod recovery plus the Radio 2.15.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willr001:
Could be the "robot voice". I've heard that you can fix it permenently by disabling key tones in the dialer, or fix till you restart by going into speakerphone and then out of speakerphone while in a call.

This type of post would be better put in that rom's thread, though a search of that rom's thread would have turned up your answer (if you knew to call it robot voice in the search)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tuskedwolf:
Thanks i disabled Audible Tones and thats gone now ! I am still learning on what to do and This flash was my first !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
just remember many/most of the roms have that 'robot voice' on the first call. either disable the tones, as you did,

or

first boot after a fresh flash/hard reset, make a call, hit loudspeaker, turn off loudspeaker, hang up, and it will be gone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AlecKyle:
Hey everyone, ssgelm over at the Evo 4G forums posted a signed zip for the LG Optimus 2X keyboard.

This is what the keyboard looks like, it is pretty much an iPhone keyboard.

He posted the signed zip here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?cxg4atczgiwa9bu

and mirrors:

http://www.duckload.com/dl/Ulpu2

http://ul.to/file/27kdgi

Just download the file, rename it to update.zip, put it into the root of your SD card, and flash it. This does not replace your stock android keyboard.

Some users have reported the keyboard crashing when trying to change the settings or add a user dictionary.

Developers, if you can turn this into an .apk file for non rooted users, or solve the crashing problem, this would be great. No forum i could find has done this yet, but I have the most faith in the developers in this forum, good luck!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] monster226:
too small…I don't like it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AlecKyle:
I think its the perfect size, I'm able to type my fastest with this keyboard.

But it would seriously be a huge help if developers were able to fix some of the features, make the keyboard a little more customizable like being able to take off the korean option on the keyboard
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xdahgary:
That's what she said. lawl.

Also it's very similar to the samsung keyboard.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AlecKyle:
I actually hate the Samsung keyboard, but find the 2X's keyboard to be one of my favorites. It would be even better if someone on here could fix the rather simple problems. I'm no expert on this, but I have seen what people do on here, I'm pretty sure someone could manage this haha
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Phoenix-Lead:
I probably would not name it to update.zip bc you will overwrite your CWM recovery which is also update.zip.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AlecKyle:
That is what I read other people did and got good results, so I put that. I did it this way and all was well. But what would you suggest?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] xnoctis93:
I could be wrong but I don't think the name matters right? As long as we have it in our sd, we can choose the 'install zip from sd card' option in cwm right?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] whiteguypl:
Correct, any name but update.zip
[Captivate Themes and Apps] viny2cool:
as far as i know, when booting into recovery the system looks for update.zip.....so u can name it anything other then update.zip

btw...it keeps force closing for me...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AlecKyle:
If it force closes on you, you must have changed settings, that's the only reason I can figure that would cause it.

I flashed it by update.zip and I can type perfectly on it, I just can't change setting because then it will force close. I'm sure someone on here can mod that keyboard and fix it though
[Captivate Themes and Apps] michael.seltzer:
Force close for me too...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DiGi91:
Working great on my samsung Fascinate running 2.2.1 (Touchwiz) everything works but vibrate on keypress which causes an fc and dictionary will no work but adds the app dictionary when you open it says something like DB file does not exist diodict is shutting down if anyone got dictionary and auto correct working please let me know love this keyboardso much

I actually typed this out with it but no correct is a killer...

thanks,

ps.. BUMP!! ;)

~DiGi
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cubanito151:
I got the vibrate to work while i was trying to see if correction and dictionary would work so one thing down but i cant seem to find out how to make the correction and dictionary to work. http://www.mydroid.info/android-apps/optimus-2x-keyborad-android/ here is where i got the file thats smaller and you can just extract and install the keyboard. then if you move all the lib files into you lib folder on the phone and leave the permissions as is the vibration should work thats how it worked for me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] zziggy:
Can't get this to show up in locale and text. I was hoping to convert my wife from iphone to android by initially making her new phone as similar to an iphone as possible. Flashed in cwm. It said success. Can't find. :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jerkysh:
there are some pretty good keyboards similar to this one on the market

for example https://market.android.com/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey&feature=search_result or even iphone-like keyboards
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dream232:
Its not working on my X10?

Please tell me how to use it? Thank very much
[Galaxy Tab General] Pille69:
hello all

after i tried to flash with the rom Roto-JME-Full-v4 i have no phone function anymore. i flashed back to overcome kernel and pda and tried madoco - nothing

how do i get the phone function back

please advice

thank you guys
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
Did you also flash a modem file? Without that one the tab dosen't eve notice that there is a sim card inserted.
[Galaxy Tab General] Pille69:
thanks

i dont understand why it didnt worked before

in the guide is written all 3 to the same time

it doesnt work that way (for me)

also if i did it separate

1. modem, then phone

it worked after i installed the phone part, REBOOTED, download modus again, inserted the modem part

strange
[Galaxy Tab General] Pille69:
hello

do you have any idea why a data connection isnt working anymore. the phone part is fixed so far
[Galaxy Tab General] Perza80:
Right APN settings?
[Galaxy Tab General] Pille69:
i dont know what are apn standing for

but if you mean the settings in the network - mobile networks - use packet data - its ticked

no - it have something to do with the roms - how can i clean all - make it complete nacked - nothing in it
[Galaxy Tab General] Perza80:
Acces point names! Every operator has its own internet settings apn:s. U should check the right settings. Settings-whireles...-mobile networks etc...
[Galaxy Tab General] Pille69:
thank you

that was the problem

but just for interest

why the last roms always fill it without interaction

the first time i need to enter it - i did not think on these option
[Galaxy Tab General] miketaylor00:
The development forum: support for ESL members
[Galaxy Tab General] Perza80:
In some roms these functions are part of the rom just like the original roms.
[Galaxy Tab General] ratapoil:
I have had the same problem (eg phone function gone) when tried to flash the Overcome rom.

Tried to install a separate modem using Addon-modem.zip from the roto-JME firmware via the recovery, but installation aborted.

I have finally re-flashed the whole firmware (roto-JME) via Odin and phone function is back and all is OK.

But I want to flash this Overcome 1.2 so how can I do it having phone function working?

I'm really sorry for my poor english, so I hope you understand what I'm asking for.
[Android Software Development] a.n:
I've run into a little trouble and I'm wondering if someone can help me out.

I have a button with several sound effects that go with it. I'm wanting to play a different sound each time the button is pressed, but I just can't get things to work out. Can someone show me the way? Any help would be huge. This is the only thing keeping me from finishing. Here's a little code:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class Main extends Activity {
private SoundManager mSoundManager;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

mSoundManager = new SoundManager();
mSoundManager.initSounds(getBaseContext());
mSoundManager.addSound(1, R.raw.finn_whatthejugisthat);
mSoundManager.addSound(2, R.raw.finn_wordtoyourmother);

Button SoundButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.Button1);
SoundButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {
mSoundManager.playSound(1);
mSoundManager.playSound(2);

}
});
}
}
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
If you want to play a different sound with each click, then you'll have to keep a global counter variable or global string that you change to the next audio file name with each click of the button--sort of a circular buffer. The code you have there tries to play both sounds on the same click and likely mixes them together at the same time if "playSound()" is asynchronous, but I don't know what the SoundManager class is so I have no idea.
[Android Software Development] a.n:
Okay, so I understand what you mean, but I don't know how to say that in Java. Could you give a short example? As for SoundManager, it's really a useless class I have that I was using to play my media. You can take a look here:

package com.andrew.finnandjake;

import java.util.HashMap;

import android.content.Context;
import android.media.AudioManager;
import android.media.SoundPool;

public class SoundManager {

private SoundPool mSoundPool;
private HashMap<Integer, Integer> mSoundPoolMap;
private AudioManager mAudioManager;
private Context mContext;

public SoundManager()
{

}

public void initSounds(Context theContext) {
mContext = theContext;
mSoundPool = new SoundPool(4, AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, 0);
mSoundPoolMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
mAudioManager = (AudioManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
}

public void addSound(int Index,int SoundID)
{
mSoundPoolMap.put(1, mSoundPool.load(mContext, SoundID, 1));
}

public void playSound(int index) {

int streamVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, 0, 1f);
}

public void playLoopedSound(int index) {

int streamVolume = mAudioManager.getStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mSoundPool.play(mSoundPoolMap.get(index), streamVolume, streamVolume, 1, -1, 1f);
}

}
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
OK, I see it uses SoundPool. First, change your definition for addSound to:

public void addSound(int Index,int SoundID)
{
mSoundPoolMap.put([COLOR="Red"]Index[/COLOR], mSoundPool.load(mContext, SoundID, 1));
}

Here's code that should work to do a different tone each push and loop back to the beginning.

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.Button;

public class ButtonSound extends Activity{
private SoundManager mSoundManager;
private int next=0;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

mSoundManager=new SoundManager();
mSoundManager.initSounds(getBaseContext());
mSoundManager.addSound(0,R.raw.freeze);
mSoundManager.addSound(1,R.raw.ascend);
mSoundManager.addSound(2,R.raw.bubble);
mSoundManager.addSound(3,R.raw.chiff);

Button SoundButton=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
SoundButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
@Override
public void onClick(View v){
mSoundManager.playSound(next);
next++;
if(next>3)
next=0;
}
});
}
}
[Android Software Development] a.n:
Mkay, so I adjusted my code according to the example and everything came back error free; however, when I run the app and click the button, nothing happens. No sound, but no force close either.

I ran the Debugger and it's telling me that the SoundPool sample is not ready. "Sample 1 not READY", "Sample 2 not READY", etc.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I don't know. I assume you used different names for your sound files. I just grabbed those out of the "notifications" directory of my phone.
[Android Software Development] a.n:
Alright, that's cool. Thanks a lot for all of the help. I owe you one.
[Xoom General] xious1:
I ran Smartbench 2011 on the Xoom before I unlocked and overclocked. It actually ran really well. I don't remember the actual score, but it was higher than what it stated for a stock Honeycomb device.

However, now that I've overclocked the Xoom to 1.504GHz, the test runs but it spits out that one of the tests didn't finish all the way through and won't give me the results. Is this happening to anyone else? Am I doing something wrong or is it not friendly with the overclocked kernel?

What is the benefit of rooting the droid 2?
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
Allows you to do more customization, get rd of bloatware, overclock/underclock, install custom roms, etc etc etc.
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
You can also do screen caps with Shoot Me.
[Droid 2 General] JeezyMT3G:
You can completely get rid of Blur, have some Blur or keep all Blur.

Overclock/Underclock. switch boot logos/boot animations,switch fonts, over all switch the majority of the framework... Lots of benefits :)
[Droid 2 General] silverfang77:
How can we get rid of Blur with the locked bootloader?

Rooted Droid 2 running Froyo 2.2 with the 2.3.20 update
[Droid 2 General] -Gilgamesh-:
By installing a ROM (Ie: Fission) that doesn't include blur apps.
[Droid 2 General] JeezyMT3G:
Im on Apex and only Blur I use is email, messaging and facebook

the rest of blur is gone an just use stock

I could use some advise how to resolve above issue.

After updating the radio, the device will only boot up properly when its attached to the power supply, otherwise i get boot loops. Also, after booting, the device works as supposed but doesnt mount the sd-card. Hence usb-drive mode isnt possible either.

Hboot is 1.01 s-on, but flashing the radio worked using fake-flash recovery.

Any ideas on how to proceed?
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
I have the same problem, advice would be appreciated!

I didn't change the radio, I updated to a CM nightly and this started happening
[Legend General] bonesy:
Faulty USB circuit?

Look like this
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
I don't see why it would suddenly have gone like that though. I didn't do anything that would, or even could, damage the hardware inside. I'll keep poking around with software type stuff to see if that fixes it. I may try a different battery too

Sent from my Galaxy Tab. Now that's dedication

Did you format on PC or in device? - maybe try formatting in the one you hadn't yet tried - if it still fails, my guess is the SD is whacked.
