AT&T Tilt soooo frustrating

I've been using the Tilt since late January and have treated the thing like a king....but today it died. The guy at the AT&T corporate store said it was a battery problem...so he replaced it and it worked for like an hour. He now says that the phone is defective.
He is having a new one sent to me and it will be here in 5 days and when I get the new one I don't want it anymore........I will gladly sell the thing for $250 plus shipping. If any of you want a spare or know someone who would like one please let me know. I bought another phone while at the phone store so if nobody buys it from me I'm throwing it in the trash.

Sorry to hear about you problems with the Tilt..... What are you going to replace it with?

Well, that's a completely stupid & ignorant statement.
If you're willing to throw it away, why not donate it to one of those charities that supplies phones to domestic violence victims.
Or to one of the masters of XDA, preferably in another forum to steal away another bright mind to come to Kaiser, or to someone working on porting drivers.

This will be the third Tilt I've received and I'm tired of this poorly designed phone, so think of it this way. Getting a few bucks out of the phone will help me recoup some of the money I've lost, but donating the phone to a charity is idiotic because it's not nice to give something that's essentially broken by design. If I give it to a developer here I'm out even more money on shipping, and I'll never hear the end of it for *donating a defective phone. I'll just be asked why did I bother it's just junk. Making the transfer a financial transaction I can make the other party responsible for their actions by full disclosure.

Did you really setup an XDA account just so you could post your complaints?

Nope, read 1st post.

i found website that might help you want to throw away a tilt http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/youare

after seeing quite a number of posts about dead tilts...often with it being the 2nd, or even 3rd+ tilt that has died...
i'm wondering if perhaps some of these issues are related to voltage regulation.
in other words, maybe the tilts are getting fried due to over/under voltage issues...whether it be from bad a/c at the house, or from the laptop usb port (i know when i plug my tilt into one specific computer i can "feel" the electricity in the buttons...that can't be good)...or from starting the car with the tilt in the cigarette lighter (i wouldn't ever advise that), or just from a faulty charger.
over time any of the above issues could kill any electronic device.
maybe the tilt is just more sensitive to voltage issues than other phones.... and so when one tilt is replaced, the next one dies too...because the same over/under voltage problem is still present. ...just a thought...i haven't experienced any problems with my tilt...yet
...but i have had pieces of electrical equipment die or malfunction due to voltage problems.

Not to mention irresponsible, I don't know how it is where he lives, but here in California anything that plugs in or takes batteries MUST BY LAW be recycled at a proper facility, that stuff can leach all kind of nasties into the environment.

I live in Columbus Ohio and I take all my electronics to the local DIY store as they do recycling there and not at the community I live in. Saying I'm going to throw it in the *trash is my way of saying I'm going to get rid of it with other similar junk people don't want anymore.
In fact I must take all my electronics to a recycling place because my community will fine me big time if I take it to the dumpster that they rent.
I'm from MI and they do far less recycling there so when I was a kid basically anything that had lost it's use was *trashed, even if it went to a recycle bin somewhere.

My first Tilt went crazy on me around day 2-3 when it just started to jumble all the characters on the screen and redraw images in random pixelated blocks of ****. So I took it to the store I got it from and they verified that it was a crazy phone and gave a me a new one on the spot.

I'd like to think your on to something, but in my case I've tried several different chargers in several different places and even different branded batteries, and still a no go on getting a properly functioning Tilt.

Laptop help??!!??

hey everybody
today i was given a medion md2837 notebook, but its pretty much dead.
its old and i wasnt given the power supply stuff, and wo9nt even light up when the power button id pressed in its current state i dont know if its the battery thats killed it or maybe something worse
does anyone know if i can charge it via a usb cord or anything i can do

I would say that the battery is dead/discharged, so if you wanted to fix it, you would probably need a power cable for it. I would try to look in places like amazon, ebay, and I would do some good ol' googling since the cables don't seem too common to find. If the company that makes them is still in business, you might try to contact them, as computer companies will often sell you leftover parts for old discontinued models, and sometimes at great deals. Otherwise, I don't think there's much else to do. Hope you get it working,
Dave

i think they are stilol in business
im not sure about the availability of the model but im sure itll be discontinued,
they dont even have service manuals
but ill have a look ebay and the likes

cheers mike
gonna see if anyone around me has one before i spend as im not sure if its just the power lack thats the isue
the guys said summit bout it not powering on properly anyway

Is my motherboard buggered?

I have a problem that only the best of the best IT technicians here might be able to help!
Please don't direct me to Microsoft because they cannot help with this as I think my problem is hardware.
I will explain: All of a sudden ALL 6 USB ports on this computer I maintain stopped working completely and I mean completely! Lights show on memory sticks but they are steady lights. No amount of driver uninstall and registry cleaning works. Tried several flavours of linux and nothing! There is no message on screen, no ping sound, no unrecognized hardware message. It just sits there doing nothing. No USB anything works: keyboard, mouse, memory sticks, pdas, no dice.
I've run HP helpdesk software in it and it does not detect any hardware fault. Updated bios, chipset drivers, all the works... and nothing!
Is there any trojan that could have buggered the bios? Is there a hardware too that could test host controllers health?
Would love if any of the ever so very smart techs here could shed a light on this problem.
Don't you love IT?

Have you tryed looking for a USB setting in the bios?
In my bios there are usb legacy support and somthing else. And they have to be enabled for the usbs to work.
BTW: this wasn't supposed to sound n00bish.

Yea! Been there, done that! I knew it was enabled there because I made sure of that before when it was first deployed, but, just in case a naughty user had found a way around my password protected bios and changed it to disabled, I've checked it again.
But thanks for caring to put in your 2 cents.
Cheers!

So the usb's are getting power?

Yes, apparently so. But I don't have a clue as of how much power they should be getting. What is the standard? How do I measure it?

The power from a usb port is about 5 volt
You can find out the pins to test here:

Thanks Flyboy. Shouldn't you be tucked up in bed now, being as you are only 13? The oldies here should take care of the kids!

haha funny no. I have got a duke of Edinburgh trip tomorrow though
i wonder who the youngest on xda devs is though?

And pardon my language! I did not think there would be people that young in forums like this!
Enjoy yourself tomorrow! Make the most of it and the weather!

Thanks. I bought some new walking boots as well. Regatta ones from GO Outdoors for £29.99.
I'm wearing them now.

LOL! Great price! Don't go to bed wearing them, never mind how great and trendy they are!

another yungen here (15) but do you have access to the inside of the computer easily because it might be worth checking everything is in there properly because if its getting power but no data transfer sounds like something has come loose inside but then if it is it will all be at circuit level, so probably no fix but if you could easily see loose wires at least you would know that was what it was.

i was thinking the same thing i know my mate was stupid enuf to glue a massive hub on the front of his computer and not plug it in and he wondered for years y it didn't work he only found out when he went to throw it out!

Thanks Slaming.
I did take it apart and check for loose connections broken bits but nothing seems unusual. Two front USB ports are connected to motherboard throught long wired connector. The other 4 at the back are connected directly to the board.
HP online diagnostic tools say everything is fine but still nothing!
Good night! I'm off to catch up with some beauty sleep! Older people need more time to recharge.

A nice trip to B&N (Success Story)

Yesterday, I took a trip down to B&N to get a new charger since I'm still under warranty. (This is my second NC charger btw) The end that plugs into the nook just comes loose and wobbles up and down. This has happened both times (Don't know if it's just me or what).
The first time I went in, I just had to prove that I had a NC and I got my charger for free and it was as easy as that.
The second time however, the guy at B&N was a total prick. He had to look up my serial number and this and that, and he said the only way to find it was within the software (to identify that i bought it from B&N since best buy and walmart now sell it).
So I was a bit worried (I'm running Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 haha).
So the guy just kept my nook on the charge til we could boot it up to "find the serial".
Once it was booted up, this guy was just blown away. He was so impressed by the custom rom and the fact that I was just running A2.2 that his whole attitude changed.
After that it was like "wow man, you really know your stuff" "that's so cool!" "Let me see what I can do about a charger for you!" and so on.
In the end I got 2 new chargers. 1 In the mail from B&N customer service, and one in store once they get their shipment.
Moral of the story, The whole "Warranty is void" stuff doesn't really matter if the guy at B&N thinks you have an awesome device.
Oh, and for future reference for those of you who don't know, you can locate the serial number within the Micro SD Card slot. (as long as you have that, then you have a warranty)

Glad you had a good experience, my wife had the total opposite.
Same issue, my thoughts are that the mini-USB charging port that they use is longer than a "standard" plug port, thus the leverage issues causing the connector to easily bend out of whack.
Anywho, so my wife takes in the non-recharging nook and cord, and I had put the stock image back on but didn't know that I needed to do the 9-reboot system image refresh, so there were still some rooted elements on the phone.
Worker drills down into the "extras" menu and sees the rooted apps still on the device, then proceeds to berate (with a manager standing behind her!) my wife on how rooting the nook voided the warranty and how what she was tired of "people tampering with their machine and then asking us to fix everything" for 5 minutes in a voice loud enough for half the store to hear.
Needless to say my wife (a non-techie) was extremely embarassed and upset. She at least had the presence of mind to ask the employee to try out the cord on one of the store nooks and (surprise surprise!!) it didn't work!
Since the nook wasn't the issue the store replaced the cord (wonder if this is a recall-worthy issue?) and my wife left. I have since sent a letter to the regional manager expressing my disappointment at how she was treated, but wanted to give a word of warning that if you suspect the cord just take the cord itself into the store and ask them to try it on one of their in-store devices rather than have to deal with irate and rude salespeople for an unrelated issue.

Oh man, that is EXACTLY what i was afraid of.
That really sucks that your wife had to go through that. I can only imagine how my girlfriend would have handled that. (and me when she got home :| ) haha.
The guy i talked to at B&N said that he even wanted me to show his supervisor and that she had wanted 2.2 on her NC as well.
I even left my contact info for them to reach me if they ever wanted me to do so for their nooks.
I'm just glad it went over so well because it's not likely to happen most of the time.
And I think you're totally right about the length of the charger. It IS too long and it makes it easy to bend to become lose and break!

That's a great story. I'm glad it all worked out.
I had to return my nexus one and it had an unlocked boot loader. People say a lot about "warranty" without actually reading it. And a lot of haters will tell you its void cause they never took that step.
Most of the time if the problem has nothing to do with rooting or if it's a hardware problem you're good

This never happens to me or my wife . I have a talent for embarrassing purple in public. One I almost never get to use since I believe people shouldn't be treated that way. I would have probably taken a trip down there to chat with them. Good job on the letter and keeping your cool. This was all done In front of the manager? And what is their machine? It wasnt "ours" on the receipt....

One thing I noticed over the weekend on a car trip - it seems that the charger from my droid works just fine on my Nook (though not vice-versa due to the prong length), so if they give you warranty hassles you might have a cord lying around to use as a backup.

My charger is doing the same thing. I have had my nc since saturday, the plug was already bent slightly. I thought ok, it must be that way on purpose until sitting with it charging and my hand bent it back the right way. Recall sounds about appropriate. I think if it gives up. I will pay the 25 bucks to avoid such cases... you never know how they are going to react to the warranty/rooted thing.
I did have a similar scare with my phone. It was severly tweaked. The screen went wacky and when i called to get an insurance replacement, they sent a warranty replacement instead. Needless to say i was never so glad that they acidentally sent the replacemet to california rather than colorado. In the extra trip time, my phone died completely and i still haven't been charged for the warranty/rooting issue
Whew...
Moral is, I have had my NC for less than a week and may need a new charger soon...

A standard Micro USB charges the Nook just fine, just takes a little bit longer then the Nook cable. I keep the nook one by my bed, and just use the cable that came with my Samsung Moment for my desktop/laptop.

Does the standard cable have the neat glowy bit? Though I agree its a good substitute when you need a new one. They should fix their **** and not use our rooting as an excuse.

I'm telling you right now if i need to replace my USB cable i'm walking w/ an old one and walking out with a new one. The USB cable has nothing to do with the rooting process. nor the rooted device. It's completely a defective part regardless of the condition of the device.

Nothing like lousy customer service to upset your customer base. When you receive lousy service you're more likely to talk about it with family and friends then you are if you receive good service. That's not to mention the fact that your spending money in their store/place of service is what pays their salary.
Good for you for writing to the regional manager and calling the employee and manager out on their lousy service.

lol so true. Look ad this thread for example. It was actually about a god experience but one bad employee (and a bad manager) set off a chain of ugly.

For some reason these types of employees have this mindset that they are helping the company's bottom line by pulling this kind of stuff when it comes to returns, exchanges, warranty. In reality...this kind of treatment is exactly why people start boycotting stores and taking their business elsewhere.
Like they say...don't bite the hand that feeds you.

come on guys just read all the threads on here about people returning their 'broken' nooks to b&n after they screwed them up.
obviously this person had too many bad experiences and took it out on someone they shouldn't have.
just try to think about what these people have to deal with every day before you get all judgmental.

When you work in customer service you can't go all ape**** on someone just because you had a bad day. That's just not a valid excuse. Either you give them what they want or you deny them in a courteous and respectful manner. If they don't accept your answer that's what your manager is there for. In this particular scenario, it sounds like the manager was already there. But regardless...you should never put yourself in a position where the customer can say that you were treating them poorly. Even if you were correct in your assessment of the situation, things can still go bad for you.
If you can't keep your cool, you probably don't want to have a job where you have direct interaction with customers.

My job is nothing but customer service all day. Do I deal with people who drive me nuts and try to advantage of me? Of course! But that doesn't mean I let them know that. There are professional ways to handle those types of situations and then there are the ways that get your company talked about in a negative manner on forums such as this.
I'm not judging. I have over 20 years of customer service experience. I know what good service is and what it means. It's what keeps people coming back to the place you work. It's what pays your salary at the end of the day. That and honesty.
Let's be honest here...do you keep going back to places of business where you get lousy service time after time after time? Most people don't.

Note 4 SM-N910T Soft Brick? Recognized when plugged in as CD Drive

Hey guys,
So i got this phone from a dude on craigslist. It's honestly not his fault but my phone was experiencing random restarting, slow app loading, etc... I thought the guy sold me a phone he had ****ed around with so I thought I'd take it upon myself to fix it. I didn't come here first because I wasn't a member at the time and the other websites that google suggested before this one suggested flashing a new rom to the phone. I gave it my best, tried to follow random guides, and unfortunately I made things about 1000x worst
So now here I am today.
My phone won't start, into any mode. When I plug a phone into a computer I get the "charging" icon and my computer recognizes it as CD Drive. I bought the phone because I have a note 2 and honestly it's basically not supported any more. I thought this would be a good jump up because I love the note series and hate that the most recent models have been blowing up because it honestly is the best phone out there. Can you guys help me? Honestly I kinda just need to know if I should just give up or if there's a chance.
I know about this link:https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/help/galaxy-note-4-n910t-fixed-hard-bricked-t3466547 which claims I can MAYBE bring it back but it really doesn't match my scenario all that much and before I try it and **** this up even more I thought I'd just ask.
Thanks all

Hey all so an update. I guess this is just how it goes when you start to think about things. I took the battery out of my phone and low and behold my phone suddenly was recognized under the device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9088" exactly as the site I linked identified. I might have to look into the battery the guy was using after this but now that this has been identified I'm going to try the indicated fix and will report back.

Hey guys reply #3 so crazy enough the first file from the link worked to bring me to download mode. I am debating trying it with the second file but before I do that I was hoping I could get someone's advice as to what I should do if I want to actually flash a good version of the note 4 properly. I also don't want to screw up the progress I've made and so if anyone has a link they'd like to share or some advice as to how to go from here I'd really appreciate it. I know I had tried a few links off of this site before so anything you guys could recommend would really be of help.

Unfortunately, i think the guy probably knew the phone was failing and decided to sell you the phone knowing it was going to die. I have fixed a number of Note 4s like yours (even is recognized when plugged in the usb like you say) by replacing the motherboard and it will cost you about 50-60 on ebay.

See, that's what I was thinking. I did a search though and didn't find any for less than like 200. Any chance u could toss me a link... I mean like I already sank 200 into this thing like an idiot. But I guess now I know the tricks. I just wanted a better note than the note 2 I have that had a battery and forgot that just because my note 2 works fine that not every phone would be the same.
