I lost my flex cable approximately 6 months into owning my phone. I sent it out for warranty(it was black) and received a white one instead. At the time, I was really mad, but now I love it. My PLAY has been sitting brand new in the box ever since, but I do pull it out and play with it and charge the battery from time to time.
It was very disheartening to me that my phone broke so quickly. It's also part of the reason why I moved on to another phone, instead of using my PLAY as my daily driver.
Right now might be a good time to order the new Nexus 5, it's pretty much the Holy Grail of phones, and getting a Snapdragon 800 KitKat device with a 5" 1080p screen for $350 is insane. I have 2 getting delivered tomorrow hopefully.

No wonder its out of stock, with people buying 2 or even 3. I wanted one, but its all out of stock. Oh well ill guess ill have to wait.
And for OP, your probably unlucky as my flex cable hasnt broken once and ive dropped my phone a lot of times without a case. Or maybe im very lucky?

I'll tell you why it's out of stock: dumbasses buying them up to sell on Ebay for a higher price. It happened last year with the Nexus 4, and it's happening even worse now.
The 2 phones we ordered are mine and my girlfriends. I've done nothing wrong here. If you were going to buy one, you should have bought it on the day it was released like everyone else did. There was plenty on the first day.

i'm thinking of fixing it (again -__-) and just not sliding it at all and see if that'll wrk
cuz i dont mind ordering one from ebay there quite cheap but just that i'm in the
caribbean and with my skybox provider it takes ah while to reach here

Yeah lol I came after school, jumped on the computer and it was all sold out except for the white 16GB version. And your case is fine, but some people buy 2 or 3 for themselves.

Acer replacement/spare parts?

Hi all, my refurbished tab suddenly decided to stop charging, so I'm looking to see where I can get spare parts for it? Either the battery, the charger, and/or the AC-in port are bad. I already contacted the vendor, and it's still in the 90 day period... but I wanted to have a back up plan.
For argument's sake, The original charger seems dead, I connect it and nothing. I have a car charger, plugged into a DC-AC adapter that starts to charge it briefly, but then it starts acting crazy (it rapidly changes from charging to not charging). I think the AC port might be messed up since there's a faint smell of burned circuits when I sniff the little "port" (was going to use hole )
The tab does turn on, and if I leave it connected to the DC charger it should eventually charge (it charged about 3% with the tab off in about 4 hours).
Ideally I will get a positive response from the vendor (only reason I haven't opened the tab up), but as I said, I rather have a backup plan.
I'm sorry but did you say you kept charging it even after sniffing its (I'll do it) hole and smelling burning? I hope I Mis understood that part. However to offer some kind of help, do you smell anything using the stock charger, and have you wiggled it at all to see if it picks up? Also I would check that other adapter output, 12v and 1.5a iirc. Lower may account for the switching of charging and not, also slow charging. To high may be the smell and you toasting your tablet.

Yes I did try to charge it after I smelled the burning. I only noticed that the tab wasn't charging when I heard it whine about low battery even though it was still connected. I then tried plugging it in, and out multiple times and wiggling the connector about to see if it would make proper contact. By the time I got around to sniffing stuff, if something were going to happen I'm sure it would have happened, but just in case I haven't pushed the issue with the stock charger, though it's pretty clear it's as dead as a sexually active teenager in a Friday the 13th movie.
I'm actually tempted to buy a replacement charger if I find one around locally; I'm not going to order it online and wait for "X" amount of days.
In any case, I got enough of a charge to restore it to stock ICS, no unlocked bootloader, no root.... *SIGH* these things are really NOT fun in their stock state.
OK...one last thing to check....the charger has 2 parts on the wall plug side. There's a tab you push down and the blades slide off, under that on the plug side will be 2 metal tabs, check those. I don't know if you had to put that on when you got it, but its something worth checking out. Maybe lightly pull the tabs up, don't get crazy just a little, slide the blades back on and give it a shot.
I would suggest checking the middle pin, however it takes a charge from the other charger you tried, so I doubt that's it, but maybe something worth checking anyways.
I know this isn't the point of the thread, but why replace if its a simple fix?

If you smelt a burnt smell coming from the tablet power port i would not recommend using it and replace it. The charger port is available on ebay as i was searching for other things for this tablet.
Well tried to inspect the charger... the thing looks brand new (well it is only a month old) pins are fine, and the contacts look fine as well. Believe me whenever possible I try to fix things more because I just like tinkering with stuff than anything else, but what I was thinking is that while I'm messing around with that I won't be able to use the tab. I will admit that messing around with power sources/adapters/etc isn't my strong suit... but that makes it even more exciting LOL!
dslayer83, I guess my searching skills have been found wanting. Before posting anything I did some searches but could not find anything through google, or ebay. Just about the only thing I found was the vache's thread where he uploaded the service manual, which has a slew of part #s, but sadly google searches for the parts that interest me don't turn up much.
In any case, I was contacted by the seller today asking if I wanted a refund or a replacement, so maybe I won't have to resort to plan"B". Still curious as to what the hell happened that made the tab go crazy, this is the first time I've had what appear to be hardware related issues with any of my electronics (coming from somebody who owned and abused a 3rd revision PS2, that's quite the statement), so it's all so new. Oh well, guess I'll ignore my curiosity this one time.
Thanks guys.
I would exchange it for sure. Or return, up to you. Aside from battery life and learning to use the screen around that 1 horrid angle, this tab has been amazing, coming.from a nook color to nook tab to kindle fire to a100. For 7" I'm not sure anything comes close for the money.
As for what happened, its hard to say. Could be something stuck in the port burned off, the charger wasn't regulating properly before it died, any number of things. The tab seems alright aside from hole sniffing and charging...anyways if you plan to exchange, make sure you get a new charger too.

Ditto on the return or exchange. Why tempt to repair something that can be replaced. I love my a100 and its the first tablet ive owned and only paid $80 for it. I know i got my money worth out of it already.
pio_masaki, you like this tab more than the Nook Tablet? I don't particularly like the design, but I thought the NT would be the better tablet... then again that just might be because I'm not a die hard Nvidia fan. I know I definitely like it better than the Kindle Fire since I've dealt with those (no SDCARD?... who came up with that?) I do agree though, that for what I paid nothing comes remotely close... though I paid $100 more than dslayer83 (lucky bastard).
Anyways, yeah I'm going for the exchange. If the seller was going to start giving me too much grief I was ready to repair it myself, but they seem to be complying so maybe there will be no need.
It doesn't really have anything to do with me liking nvidia, actually I don't care for nvidia for a few reasons, however the performance and price can't be beat. The nook tablet is just a bootloader locked color with dual core, imo not worth its price. The a100 is a true tablet, cameras, GPS, etc for the same price new.vs new last I looked. Plus now that ics dropped the sources will propel the a100 way beyond the others for performance and rom/kernel deving.
When I had the NT they could only root the stock, no cwm or custom roms available, it may be different now,but for me and what I want from my devices the a100 couldn't be beat. The fire would be second for me, my mom uses it now and it runs fine on ics for the most part.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
Sorry didn't mean to imply you where an nvidia fan, just that I don't really like them and usually go out of my way to evade them, whenever possible. That said, I just think the Ti chips on the NT and the Fire is better than the Tegra2, plus I hear wonders about the NT screen which I will say is the one area that the A100 didn't really feel great (despite me saying that the Ti chips are better I'm in no way complaining about this tabs power, not by a long shot). It looks super indoors but outdoors it's closed to impossible to read; still that's not a biggie.
Tomorrow I'm sending it back to get replaced, so fingers crossed I get a replacement by the end of next week, or sooner
On a side note, last I checked the NT had CWM, CM9 and the whole thing, though CM9 didn't seem like it wasn't at the daily driver level. I think devs were concentrating on porting the 3.0 kernel to it. I was really interested in getting one, but due to it's shape it wasn't a good fit with what I needed.
I completely agree on the nvidia thing, I have quite a beef about their drivers, also a laptop that has burned out 3 $600 replacement video cards, the last took the motherboard with it. That aside, for my money the t2 offered the performance I wanted vs price and.development at the time. I'm glad they cracked.open the NT, its going to be a very tough unit to beat once 3.0 gets going on it.
Im pro TI by far, and my next phone will likely be one sporting their hardware, or rather anything not tegra like my g2x. The a100 certainly fails screen wise, and if I decide to move from my Acer the NT is definitely on the list again.
Back on topic I'm glad to hear the seller is stepping up and handling business in a professional manner, so many stories about sellers flaking on their products makes hearing of a good one kind of rare. If you don't mind, who did you go through? It may help others looking for a good deal and a seller they can trust will do the right thing.

Heh, well i work in a cellphone repair shop and we buy and sell as well. I see plenty of knock offs come through the door but this puppy was well worth the buy. Im enjoying exploring what all i can do with it. Already using my Infuse wireless hotspot for its internet when im not around wifi. Might just get a car mount and use it for long trips for gps instead of tying up my phone.

I'm also hoping to get a phone using TI hardware in the future, but since I'll probably be going to republic wireless in a few months my options will be limited... *SIGH* In the mean time I'm probably buying a pandaboard at some point, though I'm not even sure for exactly what yet. I'd use it for an htpc, but I'm going to use a Raspberry Pi I'm supposed to be getting in June to run XBMC, maybe I'll just shove the pandaboard, instead of the a100, in the car, so many plans, so little money to do them all LOL!
Anyways, the seller is 1saleaday down side it's not a constant stock thing, they'll have deals for well... 1 day. A lot of the times their electronics are refurbished, but despite that everything that I've ordered has come to me looking not "like" new, but brand spanking new. This tablet in particular was refurbished by Acer themselves according to a little label... and while it did crap out, I'm perfectly aware that "sh*t happens". On the topic of shiesty sellers, my attitude until I heard from them should indicate what I think about most stores and their services, but glad to be pleasantly surprised this time.

S III Died on Charger Overnight

I plugged my S III on the charger last night before I had gone to bed. This morning the phone wasn't on and so I thought maybe the charger had gone bad. So I put in my spare Samsung battery. The phone still didn't boot. So I took the battery out and plugged the phone into the computer to see if it would come on. Nothing. I've been running a rooted stock ROM, specifically the one that didn't trip the flash counter. Any ideas?
Was there a storm the night you left it plugged in?
from my AOKP galaxy s3
It could be a short circuit.
What is why I do not plug in all my chargers directly to the wall...
Use a UPS with builtin circuit protector and ground before plugging in your expensive GS3 or iPad 3 or whatever other gadgets you might have.
No, there was no storm. Clear skies all around. The phone gets warm at the bottom like it is charging, but nothing comes on.

Nope. Got it June 25th.
Return to Samsung, the warranty period is one year. You can read more on Warranty Guide (that come with the phone) what is covered and what's not.
Good luck :good:
I knew there was a one year warranty. Was hoping a ota update broke it and I could fix it. Not been my day. Blown suspension on my car this morning.

Well the phone isn't turning on at all so I'm not terribly sure how they'd figure out it was rooted. Also, where is the model code? Not the model name, SGH I747. Samsung's site was asking for it and the choices were something like SGHI747MBAATT.

This is exactly why I installed a whole house surge protector, as well as each outlet in my house are individually surge protected. They cost more when I was building the house, but worth the additional $1K I spent upgrading all my outlets.

Oh that's just neat. And AT&T would not outright exchange it, but I talked to their warranty dept. and they are sending me a new one and I'll out the old one in the box to send back to them. Guy I spoke to said he waived the few for the two day shipping. While I was glad, I couldn't help but feel like not giving warranty issues two day shipping for free to begin with is a bit of a ripoff. My device broke and I may have to wait more than a week to get a new one? Wth?

Do you think this will be accepted on warranty?

Well today i came to home as usually and i started to charge my gnex with the default charger. After 5mins i came back to my room and i noticed the smell of smoke, i looked up at the gnex and the mini-usb was ultra hot and i couldnt touch it and the gnex was ruined i couldnt turn it on and it didnt charge. Well i took it to warranty and they said that they will fix it in 1-2 weeks. Well my problem is that the phone was unlocked and i had custom rom on it. Earlier 2011 i got Huawei u8800 and got some display issues and it did go to warranty without problem. What do you think?
Odd that it ruined the entire phone. This happened to me 2 weeks ago and I literally just replaced the USB port myself, cost $10 on amazon. I don't doubt your statement, I just find it odd as the USB port is part of the daughter board, separate for the main motherboard. You can see on my bad daughter board the only thing that fried was the port it self, it didn't spred to any where else in the phone.
Hope Samsung takes care of it for you though! Good luck.
good luck, most of the time they dont really care for a device this old, it has been discontinued afterall so i am sure samsung wont have many parts in stock anymore.
but yeah like i said, most of the time they dont really look, so if your luck is good and didnt run into one of those guy whos very anal and serious about their job, you should be fine lol.
Well im afraid of the bill that may come to me, it can cost really over 100 euros if they have to order parts from somewhere else you know... well i really hope that the asshole worker doesnt fix my device...

Quality of certified like new replacement from VZW?

Hey all,
Having some charging issue with my device that will likely necessitate a replacement device. I've been hesitant to make the move given the quality issues of CLNR with Verizon in the early months of the GNex existence.
For those who have recently received replacements, did you encounter much problem? It seemed like the issues were mainly related to the screen or reception issues. I had my Gnex since day 1 and never had any dropped calls or weak/fluctuating 4G signal. I'm hesitant to give it up!!
Thanks in advance!
I just got a replacement 2 weeks ago and mine has been great. No issues at all. But every device is different
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Its probably the charger cable,battery the USB port is broke. I suffered similar issues with a CLN HTC incredible. Try switching batteries cables or adapters. If all else fails take it back
I had similar issues with my original galaxy nexus after owning it for 8 months. The replacement they shipped me the ear piece on it didn't work. Sent that one back and the one after it I've had for almost 4 months now with no problems. A lot of it is just random bad luck, if I was you I'd send the old one in and hopefully your luck will hold up.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It might be a good time for a refurb, considering VZW just retired the phone.. Is it possible the remaining Gnex stock was pulled for refurbs?
About two weeks ago I got mine replaced by verizon due to my phone having charging issues as well. I went into the store, didn't call before hand.
I had flashed back to stock before i went in. Told the girl there that it wasnt charging right and i have multiple batteries and they all do the same. she went to look up on some database if others were reporting similar issues (there were none). after giving her my phone number and 5 minutes later she said a replacement is on the way and to mail my old one back in the same box (shipping was paid for)
I was very pleased by how quick and painless it all was. She never touched or looked at my phone at all and asked hardly any questions. my phone also had a chip in the screen (about 2 cm at the bottom right, no cracks though)
the replacement phone had a sticker saying "like new" replacement but it was absolutely pristine. absolutely 100% perfect cosmetically and works great as ever (screen colors seemed better than my original one imo).
Thanks for the heads up. Went ahead with the replacement. Will wait and see.

Nothing to worry about. Mine also had a chip in the bottom right corner (about 1/4 in long and 1/8 in high) as well as light scratches near the top of the screen. Luckily the chip did not develop a crack, but none-the-less, the lady at the VZW store didnt say anything of it even when i pointed it out, and my return was accepted with no charges incurred.

Was considering getting one of these, but before I order, I'd like to know what you all are using if any and if they work as intended or not.
Thanks for the input.

I got this one. Works well. My only compliant would be that the phone does not easily come off the dock. You have to hold down the dock in order to pull the phone free of it.

Well, I've been searching for the past few days trying to find a charging dock from an at least somewhat reputable-looking company (read: no Chinese/wholesale docks from Amazon) but couldn't find anything until I happened upon this post! So I just ordered one of those from Amazon. Should be here early next week and I will try to give you my impressions of it, though I still don't have my V20 so I can't really test it out fully.
Did you get it cheaper than what androidcentral is selling them for? When is your V20 supposed to be coming in?

It came out to $30.90 on Android Central including shipping, which would take 7-11 days. On Amazon with Prime it's $31.95 so for the extra dollar I'd rather just get it in two days and not have to worry in case my phone decides to come, plus very easy returns in case it doesn't work or for some reason I just really don't like it.
I pre-ordered from B&H but still no word from them on when it will ship. Somebody on Reddit said he spoke to them on Live Chat a few days ago and they told him "soon after the 1st"... FWIW I spoke to somebody on Live Chat a few days ago too and they said they had no information to give me. However something I noticed is that the listing on the B&H site recently changed from "Expected Availability: November whatever whatever" to "Ship Date: Not Available". So I hope that means it's going to be shipping soon. I live right outside of NYC so usually anything I buy from them gets here next-day. Everybody who have their carrier-branded phones already are really making me impatient to get my hands on this thing.
Cool. I got my Verizon on Oct 21st and so far I'm loving it. Great phone!

Ok, just got my phone today. Same! This thing is pretty awesome. I'm really liking it so far. I shot off an email to Seidio at the beginning of the week asking them about the charging specs of the dock and if fast-charge would work through it... they never got back to me but when I put my phone in the dock today it said fast-charging was enabled! Kinda surprised to be honest but looks like it works. Only problem is the cable is bright white and the charger is like a dark matte black. Gonna have to look into buying a different cable.

I purchased this one. It works fine although I whish it was a little heavier so I wouldnt have to hold it down so hard when removing the phone from it. I do like the height adjustability of the connector so it works with different cases.

That's the one I got. The thing I especially love is that even though you do have to hold the dock down as you pull the phone off, the dock has plenty of area to press down on and the resistance of the phone unplugging is relative small. I had a dock for my Note 4 and first of all, the phone required quite a bit of force to pull off the charger, and second of all, the stand didn't really have much area to hold down on while pulling off the phone.
So coming from past experience, trust me, this dock is pretty nice despite the flaws. Lol
