Didn't receive one here, but if I had, I would have no problem telling them what I really think about their locked bootloader policy, design flaws, etc.

100 bucks for an hour survey... I'd be all over that! ;p

unfortunatly, alot of people must of wanted to tell them what they thought of the Atrix, as I did the quick questions, and they stated that they already reached their quota for the survey..
out of $100, awwww man!!.. haha..

got that yesterday, tried to get in, but as soon as i said i didn't have the laptop dock they said "thanks we're full".

Samsung did the same when I bought my Galaxy S, they even called me up for some more details about my answers.
And got the $ 6 weeks later

Dear Moto,
this is how you should be running your cellphone bizness:
unlock the damn bootloader
let them have the kernel source
the devs are willing to fix the mess you created with the blur crap
if you need to save money somewhere then fire the whole team that does blur, AND the guy that decided to lock up the bootloader / kernel
go ahead and make like 1 phone that runs win phone 7 so microsoft doesnt come after you a55
I guarentee you this will work, and don't forget to give me a job after.
k thx bye

I just got this email the other day. Im probably going to go ahead and do it

Per my answers, they stated they reached their quota.. hopefully you can get in, maybe they didn't like that I didn't buy the laptop dock, as that was one of their questions, if I had the laptop dock..

Basic question.. ie..
Who bought the Phone...
Who made the decision to buy the phone...
Is this your phone(shows picture of Atrix)...
did you buy the laptop dock(shows picture of the laptop dock)...
what day can we call you(give you a choice of 28th & 29th of March, I chose both)..
what time can we call you...
then I got shot down that the quota was full for the survey..

Yeah right, I'm sure they just want feedback from people who are actually getting the "full" experience this phone can offer via the laptop dock. But for the people who just wanted a really good phone they don't care to hear about it. Makes me wonder, is there anyone with the "tethering" package getting capped as well? I don't remember anyone specifically pointing that out....

I also got this email, but got it on March 18th. Signed up right away but havent heard anything bacck yet.

[INFO] Ignore this thread....FOR NOW...

POST IN THE OTHER THREAD AS LONG AS IT IS OPEN
It is much better than mine.

Because apparently we went so far off topic in the other thread, people were complaining.
So, I tried calling my local Fry's with the PLU: 6575513 and nothing showed up on their end.

Is the plu the same as the sku? What is the sku?
Need it to check the Target I work at.

I called Campbell, CA store & they told me they had one in stock but when I got to the Computer Dept, the guy that picked up told me they couldn't sell it until tomorrow.

Has anybody tried calling the Roseville store with that PLU? I may go by there tomorrow and see if they have it.

The PLU is the price look up number, I'm not sure how it differs from the SKU.

I called the Dallas store and a man with a heavy accent told me that tablet doesn't exist, then when I told him I had a PLU, he asked for me to give it to him, paused after entering it in, then rattled off some line about not having it in their system and it not existing...almost as if he's reading from a script

I can't believe people complained. Or that this forum would go back and delete off topic posts??? It was just good natured banter and excitement for a new piece of technology.
Anyway, on topic, the ABQ Best Buy had no idea what I was asking about.

I chatted w/ Newegg's support staff, as expected they gave a general comment and said they have no info on future items and sent me a link to suggest a product. I asked about the Transformer and Iconia A500.
I really hope Newegg has it tomorrow and doens't sell out fast. For a few reasons I want to buy from Newegg only.
Edit: We really need to keep this on topic, its a b**** to go through 30 pages when I check the thread the next morning lol.

I called the Tempe and Phoenix AZ Fry's store. That PLU came up with the ASUS correctly. However, there were none in stock in either location.

That's very strange. Fry's system should be synced nation-wide, and shouldn't have discrepancies. Palo Alto is showing to have stock at the moment ready for tomorrow.
I would go down there and see someone who knows their way around the system.

Just got off the phone with a Bestbuy in Ohio. They tell me the transformer will 'Launch' tomorrow but they have no units on hand or in their system. I asked if this was common for this to happen this way and he said yes and instead of their own trucks UPS might drop them off in the morning.
I don't know how true this is, but if it is I might just drive out tomorrow and get one.

I wouldn't be surprised if these are being drop shipped straight from Asus distribution centers to individual stores. I imagine they can fit 12 Transformers in each case.

[UPDATED: 5/10/12] Sprint's Policy on Handling Rooted Devices

Here is the official document outlining their methods and procedures for handling devices with suspicion of root.

oo reary ??

so basically it's a "please don't root, but if you do...umm...well please don't"?

Seems pretty inoffensive to me. But the stuff about "schoolmarming" a rooter is ridiculous. I'd like to believe that anyone smart enough to find out about and root doesn't need a talking-to. I also doubt that rooted customers take up much of a support center's time overall. Of course, Sprint employees including Korey AKA WDM may say something else about that.

well, they don't want you to root for obvious reasons... tethering probably being the biggest one. Plus having to replaced bricked phones would be another. I can see their perspective... and instantly disregard it

Appreciate the info but this does not seem to cover what it means if they open a ticket and note that the device is suspected of root. Now with this suspect of root does this then give them an out on replacing or repairing?
Again this is all coming from my experience of my local and only place to get service, threatening to blacklist my phone if he "suspected" root.
Here is the Emeryville, CA store number (510) 596-0930 Give them a call and ask if you can bring in your phone for repair if you have root. I bet you will get a "no"

Print this pdf out and show it to them. Tell them it came from ISC in the "Service and Repair" section. If they ask how you got it, tell them it doesn't matter and that it is your job to know these things.
Yes it is noted that your phone is rooted, but like it says if there is an issue with a phone that cannot be fixed that will Advance Exchange it. No matter what. Trust me. If you have a problem just PM me and then I'll call.

Thanks for the info. The local reseller he wouldn't touch mine when she saw it was rooted. Mind you I took it in for the slider being loose and first thing she did was scroll through my apps and look for super user, then promptly showed me the door.

I wouldn't even walk into a Sprint store without having first used ODIN to get back to 100% stock. I don't want to give any Sprint tech/rep an excuse to play the blame game with my device/account.

Who in their right mind would bring back a rooted phone expecting it to be covered/serviced. One with a working display for that matter.

You people are absolutely ridiculous.
I've been telling you all this for weeks now, and now korey posts one of the documents I was referring to, and you STILL choose to not only waste your time by going to stock, but making it harder for us to replicate and solve issues by not handing us the phone in the original environment when you found the issue. That can make it very hard at times to properly triage and repair a phone; think of it like forensics, a crime scene is only properly diagnosed when NOTHING IS TOUCHED.
So please, save me the frustration, and simply bring this doc in with you. And if they give you a hard time, tell them to look up the OTHER doc, the one that outlines which tier rooted phones fall in to (tier 2, btw, which dictates a $35 charge if you don't have TEP and free if you do. Which, hey, guess what, is the same ****ing tier as a nonrooted phone! Who would've thunk it!)
And to whoever says educating a customer is unneccessary because obviously they're smart enough blah blah blah...you're ignorant. Very very ignorant. Because no, I didn't get that customer that came in no less than SIX times with a bricked epic from just ATTEMPTING to root, actually ROOTED it for him, and flashed godamn srf, and yet still returned A SEVENTH ****ING TIME with a bricked epic. No, that definitely didn't happen. No way. There's just no way freaking way somebody who is interested in "hacking" their phone is actually an idiot. Nope.
Ridiculous

And allow me to reiterate, any trouble you get for a rooted device IN NO WAY IS A REFLECTION OF SPRINT. It is a reflection of the employee, and their laziness/ignorance/misconceptions. Fight them, because they are wrong.
Also, I cannot speak for 3rd party stores (your typical mall retailers). Not only do they sometimes operate under *slightly* different rules that I'm not privy to, but some of them frequently operate poorly and intentionally misguide you.
A classic and shockingly common example is sending us customers with liquid damage, telling them that we'll replace a liquid damaged phone for free if they complain enough.

Try the Plan-B app from Lookout. Worth a shot.

Those security apps are only good if the criminal is incredibly stupid. I mean not that I would steal something like that, but if I did, the first thing I would do is a factory reset. Unless they build the security into the firmware like that crap that you can activate in the BIOS of a computer so it can't be disabled, there really isn't a good way to catch a thief.
Hey, maybe I should patent that idea before Apple does?

Unless he has a lock on it, like I have the pattern unlock enabled (mostly because i take it to work though. i work in a network security company so leaving phones/tablets/laptops unlocked usually leads to a crude e-mail sent as you to everyone in the company haha).

The simple fix to BIOS passwords, CMOS reset jumper or the old battery trick. Nothing is secure once physically compromised. (Unless it is sealed tight in some Titanium that's capable of withstanding 10kg of TNT)
Moral of the story is: Don't leave valuables in the car and definitely don't leave it out for everyone to see. Heck a teen could've taken it due to iPad craze (thus the TF, oh the irony). I'm sure it was an impulse theft, a professional thief would take more time to throughly look through every cabinet of the car as they already went through the risk of breaking the window... That is just my opinion though.

Most theft when an automobile is involved (unless they are actually stealing the car) is a smash and grab. Especially if it was mid day, it's much quicker to grab what you see than to comb the car for everything they can find of value.

One more update then - LAWYER UP!! Class Action....

I am willing to pursue a class action lawsuit on behalf of all of us who were sold defective Nexus 7 (2013) tablet's and have useless touchscreens.
I am giving them one more chance with an update to repair the problem and then I'm taking it to my company's lawyer.
I have sent it in once, they told me they "re-calibrated the screen and digitizer"......no improvement.
Still having sticky keys, phantom touches, long presses.....It is absolutely a useless tablet as I can't type like I normally can.
If you would like to pursue litigation, please join me.
GOOGLE, YOU HAVE ONE MORE CHANCE!! MAKE THIS RIGHT OR WE WILL END UP IN COURT - GUARANTEED.

Its no worse then what we saw (actually far better) with the Xoom timing out touch events after 15 seconds.
Don't get me wrong... It is certainly annoying... I'm just not certain that it meets the criteria for the type of litigation you are suggesting.

Has Google refused to remedy your problem, either with a new tablet or an update? It's not as if the entire product line is defective - far from it. As with anything that's manufactured, there will be some items that fall below standard. I doubt you have the right to sue over this. I understand you're pissed but a CAL isn't going to happen.

Let us know what your lawyer says. I'd be surprised if you found one willing to take the case.

If the entire product line was defective and Google refused to remedy the situation, then a CAL could be justified. Have you exhausted all avenues of approach yet? Demanded a refund? A new tablet? Those are your best options at the moment. I personally don't have a problem with my N7.

Google's return policy is 15 days after the date of delivery, You missed out on the chance of getting a replacement or a refund.
Your best shot now is contact ASUS again and demand they pay for the shipping for a defective item, try to demand talking to a manager might help.

Am sure if we get Andy Dufresne involved he will fix it for us for a few cold beers each on the rooftop of asus factory for the defected units

+1 Someone say his Nexus isn't working properly and that is willing to take action, then the thread suddenly floods with people with "perfect" Nexus, and saying it's not a big deal.
If you don't have any problem with your Nexus, hooray! good for you, a lot of us do have problems.
PS: I was the owner of a Note 8, 0 problems, I though, well I had the Nexus 7(2012) and it worked fine, plus is pure android. So I jumped to this Nexus for the screen and pure android... now I'm starting to regret it, just know my keyboard started with the ghost touches, is incredibly annoying...

Let me say something. This guy is right we are getting the shaft. I been building computers and a tech for 20 yrs. I have had every top of the line tablet out there. I still love my IPAD 4.
I have bought 7 Nexus 7 2013 from 3 different places and the seventh still is messed up. Now you are going to say that is normal. Bullcrap.
Out of all of the top of the line tablets I have I never had to take them back and replace them. Once would be fine but 7 and still not working is not freakin right.
I have had the Asus TF101, Asus TF300, Asus TF700, Samsung GALAXY Tab 1, Galaxy tab 8.0, Toshiba Thrive, Toshiba Excite, HP touch pad and more never had a screen problem like this. I have a I7 3700K overclocked on air at 4.7ghz evo 212 cpu fan.
You should never have to replace more than 2 times to get something right, I would have to say that their product line is 85% bad on the Nexus 7 2013.
