What kind of puter? You got the right samsung drivers?

I tried on my laptop (Mac) and desktop (windows) and yes they have the right drivers
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Well your mac laptop won't need drivers. If it's plugged in and your phone has the settings box checked for "MTP" then it'll be recognized. Did you download Android File Transfer? You'll need it to transfer files.

Is USB debugging checked? If so, uncheck it and try to install the drivers again. If you can't, shoot me your Gmail and I'll help you through G Talk.

Custom kernel? Make sure USB fast charge is off.

Ok! I tried the new cable that came with the replacement and it works just fine... its weird that the cable I have is not working anymore..

"Made in Korea" means it was manufactured by Samsung directly and not outsourced to some factory in China.
If you're unhappy with the signal drops you can try to get another replacement, or look at the threads here on signal drops for solutions

Yeah! I'm looking for ways to fix it.. but the one I had was made in china and was brilliant no drops nor anything. I curse the day I dropped and cracked the screen.. do you think I can just go to the Verizon store and ask them for a replacement

If you're within the return period, they will replace your device no questions asked. If you're over it, it would depend on the store you go to but more likely than not you have a good chance.
Just make sure you're stock and not rooted

I called yesterday and after a couple of minutes well an hour to be exactly they're going to send me a new device. That's what she said. But since today is 4th of July the phone should be here by tomorrow..

Can't update

Hello all,
I bought HTC One V from Taiwan and using it here in India. Today I got a message that an update is available for the system.
As soon as the update download finished, and when I clicked install it showed that the device software have been modified and that it can't update.
It's strange as I never rooted it.
Also my mobile is having a lot of problems with network connectivity. I live in the middle of city but still I guess a cross over the network bars. And if sometimes I do get then only 2 bars out of 5.
Could anyone tell me what is the problem? I am having a feeling that my handset us defective. Maybe I am wrong.
Thank you for reading

Well I don't want to root it.
Thanks

Well you are going to have to stick to stock with no updates then. I suggest you open up to rooting, stock roms are junk.
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

So is the problem normal or not. I mean is it common to get that message or no ? Or I have been cheated.
Thanks

I assume its normal but only say that because of all the other phones that do the same thing yours did. Don't feel cheated, while HTC isnt supporting our devices anymore, the fine devs here are.

Well let's see what happens. Given the mobile for replacement.

Wind s3 touchscreen not working

Hi guys, I'm not asking this for myself as I have the rogers version and I'm quite experienced with flashing properly.
My friend has a wind (t999v) version of the s3,he does not know how to root or flash and he never did either. What he did was update his phone to the new jellybean firmware, the proper way. After the update his touchscreen stopped working. The menu button, back button, and settings buttons still work but everything else on the screen is non responsive. He brought it to the wind store and told them. They returned the phone and told him that it's his own fault for upgrading and wants 600 dollars to repair it.
I'm wondering if there is another solution for him before I try flashing some custom roms for him. Or whether flashing anything else will fix the issue because it doesn't seem like a software issue to me.
Sorry for such a long post and thanks in advance.

That's a bunch of BS. It's an OTA for goodness sakes. OTAs go through Samsung and then the telecom. So, if the OTA was available, it had to go through his telecom. If the OTA is the cause, for whatever reason, then they should honor that.
Seriously, that's BS.

Possible sds

Hello
5 month Note 2 user that had almost no complaints till early april where my phone started lagging, restarting every few hours(it did restart once every 2-3 days since they day i bought it) and touch screen not being responsive. Result was the problem becoming worse and me having to search for it and finding out about SDS. I checked my phone through EMMC and it says my chip is insane... as soon as I saw that I tried backing everything up but as it turned out, it was too late..I've lost all my game data (I've managed to copy a few games but its a few stages back..for example my subway surfers save is like 2-3 months back...), i've lost ALL of my contacts and my smscontact backup says it has no contacts on the backupfile...
regardless, I sent it to the local Samsung retail and they kept it for a week, got it back today, same thing happening...They told me they found humidity + errors on my phone and they had to clear/wipe it out completely. Its been like 3-4 hours since i got it and it already got stuck at a black home screen error + unable to swap applications and once on a non-responsive touch screen. I contacted the Samsung retailer and he told me that it could be an error from my SD card. I highly doubt that, am using a san disk 32gb ultra speed and I only have movies on it actually so...
Now my 'questions'...What can I do? Rooting it can fix it? Or will it void my warranty completely? If I root and it breaks again can I unroot and send it to have it fixed? And if they cant fix it, do they replace my phone with another one? Like a new note 2 or a new samsung phone?
Thanks
Ps: already posted this on sprint forums by mistake and it was suggested to me to try removing my sd card..no difference

well it is what people say "symptoms of the sudden death" so probably and all says that( 5 months, strange behaviour. .) if they dont fix you can talk to them that probably it is SDS if not you'll have to wait until the phone dies or send lots of times (like a guy who said that here in xda) and they probably replace the motherboard. theres nothing at the moment to do if it have been affected by the corrupted data but you can update to the latest firmware which is suposed to have the fix
hope I answered your question

well the problem is that if the phone send some corrupted data to the chip when you were at 4.1.1 there's nothing to do.
The repair centre "doesn't know about it" because if they do know they'll have to asume that problem and they will lose money. The correct procediment is to change de motherboard however sometimes they just put an old one with the insane chip again. If you really want this phone and I assume that you do like it, when they replace and send it back update to 4.1.2 ASAP therefore they usually update before sending back.

They are already losing money when they fix my phone cause of full warranty.. i loved the phone but am disappointed right now and with the possibility of changing phones i dont mind..cause all in all it has its downsides..ie too big to carry, takes a looong time to charge and regardless ive already lost all my data so its already like i got a new phone..
How can i know if they changed my motherboard?

You should have a new imei if they changed mb i think.
I bought note because of the screen,dont mind using it with both hands thats the price you have to pay if you want that commodity of big display.
And its charging like every phone,maybe a little longer but instead you have great battery life.

Nobody loses money but Samsung. Your local samsung service center is not Samsung company. They are third companies that have an agreement with Samsung to fix samsung phones officially in your country.
They lose money only if they replace a motherboard that is already working or not covered under warranty (user faults).
Once I talked(personally) to one of Samsung services in my country, they said mostly they are not able to understand these new generation smartphones. Most of the time all they do is just replacing motherboards, they said
My suggestion to you, print several sudden death syndrome reported web pages and show them or email them if you can. Samsung is replacing bricked motherboards with no question asked (even rooted ones).

I find it very strange, especially since these issues do not seem related to eMMC commands. Did you ever try using the phone without the sd card to eliminate the possibility?

i think tha's because that location service is deactivated in my phone
my phone has my account but i haven't activated location service :X

i just want to know why my phone isn't compatible with the android lost app

Looking at your post history shows that you installed a custom ROM. That may be why it's showing incompatible with the app. Just a guess.
Go to whomever you purchased the phone. They may be able to shut it down.

Apps you install remotely from the Play Store don't activate on the device unless you run them on the device.
Not much you can do outside of calling the police and your mobile operator.

Sadly that's what happens, 1st thing they do is remove your sim card, unless they're amateurs. then it will most probably be sold in another country using a different imei, which is why you should NEVER post your imei online. So basically your phone is gone. And the Google Locate and the Samsung find are not 100% reliable, yesterday I was testing the Google find with WiFi, GPS & mobile data on and it couldn't locate it. Best you can do is make sure your important data is protected on your phone and back up photos and all as much as you can.
