Has anyone found a activation bypass on the verizon galaxy tab? It would be much appreciated as i work in a verizon store and they have not provided us with a activated tab to demo for customers.
Well I bought my tab from Verizon and they gave me a wifi only version like I asked for.

Huh? The wifi only version isn't being released until 2011. They probably just let you waive the first month of 3G service.
So does the age old trick of tapping the four corners of the screen clockwise starting at the top left now longer work?

on the other devices you can touch all four corners of the screen clockwise and it will bypass activation. give it a shot and let us know
I will try it when I go into work in the morning. I will let you guys know.

The four corner press clock wise does work. Thank you.
At the activation screen using the volume key: up down down up up up down down down down.
Works perfect!

What?
I was expecting up up down down left right left right A B start.
UP / Down does work
I can confirm that the up down stuff works! Tried it on 4 Tabs already
Bypass tricks not working
I was a little too excited to start using our new Sprint Galaxy that I cancelled out the activation to get to the fun stuff. now it keeps telling me that activation is not complete. I've tried the 4 corners trick and the volume button trick and it still wont go away.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Im on the same boat . . . . .are we assed out?
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
I guess so. We've been on the phone all morning with Sprint,Samsung and best buy and not getting anywhere. When we bought it at best buy we had a choice between a sprint version and a Verizon one. But the Verizon needed at least a 1 month activation. So we bought the sprint. Now spiny and Samsung are saying that we need to sign up for an account to activate it or just live with the constant reminders.
There has to be a way around it though. Anyone? A little help here?

Around the notification bar area, touch the screen hard. Does your screen feel like its clicking in like the blackberry storm? I have a problem and I'm wondering if it's only me

Mine doesn't do that.
Are you pressing down?

Yeah, not super hard, as I don't want to break it. But a lot harder then I would be if I was trying to use the touch screen or buttons.
If I were you I'd go to best buy and ask to play with the demo. Try it on the demo, if it doesn't happen, exchange yours.
Thanks for the advice

Did you try it with the screen off or on because mine seems to do it when on only
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Mine does NOT click or feel like it's clicking when touching (moderate pressure) the notification bar area (right, left or center), with the screen on or off.
None of the three Nexus S handsets I've gone through so far have done that. Take it back. Samsung's QC needs a lot of work.
Thanks alot for the replies guys. I'll be exchanging it
I unfortunately just realized I have this problem,right near the FCC woohoo 3rd nexus s

turn the phone off, when off, hold volume-up, home button and power button...a menu should pop up, navigate using volume buttons to factory reset and select using the home button (I think)

Why don't you call your seller and ask for the code...
Looks like "hot" SGS to me :|
You would be lucky if he enabled "USB Debugging" on his phone. Flash the phone and your phone would be brand new. This is theoretical though. Never faced any problems like this.
Doesn't seem like you bought the phone eh mate? If he has Tracker Apps, you would be screwed my friend.
Just do the factory reset, it will work.

As the tittle suggests, does anyone have their home button make an audible click? When I touch mine on the right side it clicks and feels loose. Just wondering if anyone else has that.

I have that! I was wondering the same thing... and I cant replace it since I just got a 25$ zagg installed on my s4 -_-' and cant seem to find the receipt.
I called my local ATT they'll replace it without charging me a restocking fee. I'll probably do that. Just a tad worried since this is the only issue I've had with the phone. Don't want to get a bum phone.

If you get a new phone and you have more issues, you're just as entitled to an exchange as you are with this one. I have a friend who has gone through 5 phones within a month for various reasons, some admittedly a little overblown but point is, you can always exchange until you get a good one.
How much does it click, mines is a little one and I'm thinking it is cause the plastic. And my girlfriend didn't notice it like me

It sounds like an air pocket. Its a soft click but only on the right side.

My new 32GB S4 has a clicky home button. I've noticed this with the S3 as well. Personally, I wish they'd do away with the physical home button. Capacitive buttons were the future. I have also noticed my S4's home button seems really flat. Doesn't stick out as I feel it should. Works absolutely fine. So I'll see how it goes in my 14 day period.
Is anyone having issues with the LG G2 touch screen.
The things I'm noticing is
guesture typing it loses it's trail and begins a new word. So if I'm trying to spell "Think," it'll get the "TH" then space it out and get some other string of letters etc.
Web Browsing; it'll click a link I'm not trying to
Zooming in on photos and scrolling while it's zoomed it'll sparatically zoom out or move to the next pic
There's several other things that I can't seem to get to replicate! Anyway with my research here's what I came up with.
My issue is much like this but far less easy to replicate!!! And not nearly as bad. How ever I was able to do it when my phone started having symptoms I pulled up the note pad and it did exactly like this just way less significant.

Here's another forum with people going through issues!
I'll take that as a no
I was having issues like that with gesture typing on both swift and stock keyboards. Basically it would just add all kinds of random entries. In another thread someone suggested using a microfiber cloth on the screen. It seems to be working now.

Just noticed that mine does the same thing... But it's not consistent, only happens once in a while. After I reboot it's fine. Really weird.
I posted earlier, looks like it didn't make it up. I had same issue, I tried flashing back to stock, assuming I had done something with rooting it, tried making sure that it was not an issue with ram bring to low, nothing fixed it. Took phone back to att, replaced it, havent had the issue once since then. I'm rooted, flashed and modded work no I'll effects. If you are within your return period, I would suggest that you return.

Well I have seen some quality control issues with these phones for sure... I'm still on stock and not rooted and mine does this. Going to have to go by the Verizon store Monday and get a new one.

I made a video to help illustrate what's going on!
Well I got a replacement phone and the problem is still happening. So I went into the shed grabbed my old Cyanogenmod MyTouch 3G and I plan to use that until the Nexus 5 comes out. Hopefully I'll get a launch unit.
Just holding this little phone makes me feel all nostalgic lol. I bought it in 2009 and it still holds a decent charge.

Are you just going to wait until the nexus 5 comes out and then take your g2 back, tell them that this is the second one that has done this, and demand they replace it with the "newer g2" ie Nexus 5? I thought about this!
I'm hoping this is a software issue..mine is really annoying
This has been annoying me since I got the phone me home button tilts up and the right side of the button making it look all off and not straight is anyone else's like this?

Mine doesn't tilt but if I don't click it squarely in the middle it seems to get jammed. I've tried to ignore it and I very rarely use it choosing to use the back button instead. I know this is a widely reported issue with the Note 3 and I haven't looked into it as yet to see whether it's worth returning it for a replacement (I bought mice outright SIM free).
