Looking forward to doing more with it.
I just got my offer today. Do we know if there is an effort to root it yet?

GB Update - False Alarm

http://blogs.computerworld.com/18669/t_mobile_g2x_gingerbread_upgrade?source=rss_blogs
Don't want to send rumors or whatnot but I spoke to a good buddy of mine who works at a local t-mobile store (roots his phone, does everything to it) and he said he has heard about the GB update, he said that it's being piloted now and will be here around beginning of August, shouldn't take longer than that.

[Q] Why haven't I received my GPS KIT?

I have had a status of: "The GPS extension kit has been shipped" since April 17th, and from posts I have seen, people are saying it's FedEX, if not Priority Overnight priority, I would expect at least 2nd day "Saver", but here I am, with no kit. Anyone else waiting this long?
i called fed ex last week and they said it comes tomorrow. i had applied for my final version that day it was leaked and application only opened up for a day. so I'd say don't sweat it. all it takes is a phone call to fed ex. tell them you couldn't get tracking number. give them your name and address and they will tell you when its due to arrive to you.

Probably because it was shipped fedex ground like mine. Shipped 04/17 to Wash DC due to arrive 05/01
If you are on east coast fedex ground takes 4 business days from where it was sent
I just checked my package. FedEx Ground too.

Funny mine has said shipped since Friday if not Thursday (I did not get to check it thrusday). I'm in Ca. About 8hr drive from Freemont CA. Just got off phone with Fedex 4-23-12 5:10pm PST and they have no record of a package being sent to me?
Sent an e-mail to asus, but expect no helpful response as the last time I asked them about the dongle for us customers that got the prime on first day and registered it already, they replied that the USB on the Prime can not be used for GPS. LOL
Sill holding off on my survey of Asus, the GPS kit will be the make it or break it for good or poor survey on their service record.
Mine was laying at my door when I left for work this afternoon. Shipped FedEx Ground to Anchorage, AK from Fremont, CA on the 17th.
Be grateful - mine is still 'Your application has been submitted' and mine went in 4/16.

Bricked TF300: The aftermath...

I promised I would come back and tell everyone how my repair @ ASUS would go. I first called ASUS to make an RMA, but they just reffered to their website. So I filled in the form as honost as possible: "Hi ASUS, I've bricked my TF300. First I upgraded to JB, afterwards unlocked the bootloader, replaced it and after a wipe of the settings it won't boot at all. Please have it repaired, I'm aware of any costs or warranty-loss."
They picked it up last friday in Belgium, shipped it to Czech, where it arrived on Monday. I prommised myself I wouldn't check on the status for at least a week, but I couldn't stop myself
Yesterday I checked, and it was in status: Final testing. An hour later it was picked up by DHL again to be shipped back to Brussels. This afternoon I received it, and indeed: all issues solved! The note from ASUS didn't say anything about my story, the problem description was: System hangs up :victory:
So: Fixed in warranty, picked up and returned within a week, bootloader locked again, flashed back to stock JB!
Couldn't ask for better service!
Good luck out there

Lucky - my non-unlocked TF300TG has been away for a month and a half now. I'm generally a pretty patient person, but this is starting to piss me off. Especially considering it's just a software problem. I want to find whomever decided to lock down APX mode and slap them silly across their face.
You got lucky, hope I'll be also...
Hi,
I red your history with fate...
I bricked mine also, and I did the same call customer service, and got a RMA.
Sended it last friday, hope that the service is the same in Canada...
Thanks for your story...
But, as my wife will tell you: It won't stop me to root back my device.
In the mean time I bought a Nexus 7 tablet. It's very hard no to root....

My gf went: How the hell did you break it after a week?? Well, my answer was: because I could Never had a softbrick I couldn't fix before, the thing I did wrong was mostly: Starting to screw around after midnight, the "Oh, let's just do this one more thing now everything went so well...". Lesson learned! By the way, it returned stocked on JB, so I'm gonna wait a little bit until NVFLASH can be performed on this as well. But indeed, it won't stop me from messing with it again (Only this time on a Sunday afternoon with some calming music on the background )

Thanks BestBuy for screwing up my preorder!

Alright guys I just want to rant a little as I am upset. BestBuy totally screwed my preorder up.
I preorder a black s7 edge from BestBuy on Feb 23rd. Expected release date of March 11th and so forth. Then March 1st I see that some are already getting there packages (I did the in store pickup - my first mistake) Getting a little inpatient I decided to check my order and it says expected release and pick up date as March 7th. Stoked I waited until today and got a pick up email saying it was time (YES!!!!)
Go into the store today and they give me the Gear VR and the SD Card that comes when you preorder from bestbuy... but no phone... I asked the girl is that everything? And shes like let me check and notices that its missing. She asked the guy standing next to hear and they went over the preorder pick up sheet that they had, as I started to get worried that they messed up. All I could see was every other persons preorder s7 in the back - taunting me.
They eventually said that they didn't have my order yet (I mean I only preordered on the first day...) and that it should come in later today. I waited around and then was fed up and ended up just leaving. I called BB at they're phone to check about an hour later... They dont expect my order until the 11th. So everyone else who preordered can pick it up today... while I wait until Friday. Pretty upset about it.
Ended up calling the store and asked if they were in stock and they said Yes they had 2 more and I'm like you got to be kidding me, I cancel my preorder and go back to the store to just purchase it there... To bad they ended up running out of stock before I got there.
Thank you bestbuy for ruining my release day... I now have to wait for them to come back into stock before I can get anything
tl:dr Bestbuy messed up my preorder, then called and said they had stock. Cancelled preorder and went back and they were out of stock.

That really sucks for you..
I'm picking mine up today at bestbuys and now concerned.
That sucks, sorry for you and I'll hope you'll get it soon still! Next time, maybe keep your order just in case till you have the device in hand before canceling it :/

That's terrible, I'm so sorry. There was no way they could hold a phone for you while you were on your way back?
I just picked mine up but they screwed up on what I ordered.. They were trying to give me an Galaxy S7 instead of the edge. It even had my name on it! Luckily they had extras on the edge.

Yeah just wasnt thinking, I shouldnt have cancelled but I thought no one would go and buy the 2 left by the time I got there :crying:
I feel for you, but the original date quoted to you was 11 march, you canceled HOPING to get it earlier, and it didn't work. Honestly I am not impressed with Best Buy for this, but you can't blame them for your lack of phone right now.

Don't know how best buy works but yeah that blows, personally before cancelling my pre order I would have called the store reserved a phone an paid a deposit maybe and said I was gonna come pick it up within the next hour. Once I'd got the phone from the store then I would of cancelled my pre order.
Maybe redo pre order and keep checking with the store if they have stock, if so do the above.
On a side note since you cancelled the original pre order did you have to give the gear vr back?
I thought the same thing happened to me. My mom had to pick it up because it is on her verizon account. I got the email this morning saying it was ready so my mom got off work to go get it. When she got there they said I wasnt on the list so it was not ready and sent her away. So I called them and told them I got an email saying it was ready, so they went and looked again and ended up finding it. So now she has to make another trip to go pick it up.

Still have it and have not been billed for it, who knows maybe ill get 2 :good:
In general best buy screws up a lot. I dealt with tmobile because I'm on jod. But they screwed up in the store by my house with my mom's note 5. I was telling her what not to do with the s pen and their employee actually showed her and broke her son pen and refused to do anything but replace the phone after their employees screwed up.

What exactly did you expect them to do, fire the employee? If they replaced the device they did what they should have, anything they do to the employee should not be done in front of customers.

Sorry to hear you had to go through all that.
I pre-ordered from Best Buy and my only complains was that their pickup line is SO SLOW.
I got an email that my S7 Edge was ready (my wife's wasn't). We went to the store to pick it up and I noticed the box only said S7 on it. I asked and they confirmed it was a vanilla S7. I told them I ordered an Edge and apparently someone had miskeyed the inventory and didn't see that I ordered an Edge. They said that while they had gotten in plenty of S7s in, they hadn't gotten any Edges yet. Yeah, it sucked as we would have at last liked to have one since my wife's S5 battery can barely hold a charge. But considering it wasn't even expected to be in until Friday? No big deal. They apologized but really, what more can they do but that? It's not like they had something they could give me right then. Mistakes happen.
Yeah it sucks it wasn't there, but it is it really worth getting all upset and spun up over? It's not like you're using a flip phone or you're going hungry. And you should have it by the end of the week - when it was supposed to ship anyway. It's not like you're not going to get it. You just aren't getting it as early as you hoped.
First world problems, man. Relax and be happy.
