Has anyone done a factory reset yet on your Gamestop tablet and did you lose the pre-loaded games?
I think it should erase them...if it didn't, that would mean gs had modified the firmware

Why phrase the subject as if you did it, then ask if anyone has done it? You title is misleading; you could at least end it with a "?".
Anyway, I was wondering if it did too. There are people who wanted to remove the games, they should try it and tell us what happens.

Huh..I didnt phrase it like I already did it. Read it again. All its missing is the question mark at the end.

By phrasing it like this: "Gamestop prime will factory restore delete added games", you are kinda saying it does do it. Then everyone will ask you did you do it and have prove, but when you read your post, you are asking if anyone did it. Yeah the question mark will let people know that you are asking rather then telling.
Didn't you mean to say: "Gamestop prime will factory restore/delete added games?"

It will delete the games GS installed.

Yes I did and yes it will remove the games GS installed.
Isn't there a way to sync the games with your google account so you can redownload them in the future?
What he meant to ask was "Will a factory restore of a Gamestop Prime result in the loss of the bundled games?"
Now that we've got that out of the way. If I remember right, there are two types factory resets. A soft reset that erases user data and a hard reset that re-fleshes factory stock ROM configuration. As I do not have a Prime on hand I do not know the answer to your question. My guess, they go bye bye.
Could be wrong though.

Curious, rcbarr, do you plan to root the prime? what is the build number now that you did a factory reset? If your build number is less than what mine is out the box, I might factory reset mine and try to root it with the razorclaw.
I find it funny that gamestops game bundle can be lost so easily. Wonder how you would get it back if you had to do a factory reset to fix a problem. Guess an app like Mybackup Pro might help get it back.
Looks like rcbarr confirmed that you lose the games. Terrible setup on GS's part...good thing we have for Titanium I suppose.
This site has the data dump posted from gamestop in development section. You can download and reload.

Totally sucks. I have purchased some of the games already like riptide and shadowgun. I'm wondering if they are the same version that was pre-installed.
I would use Titanium but Razorclaw doens't work on our Gamestop ones. Someone as mentioned the GS possibly did an OTA as they were installing the additional games.

Build Number: HTK75.US_epad-8.8.3.29-20111202
I rushed into it, should have backed the apps up first with Titanium. Whatever, will first try to get them back from the dev backup, if that does not work, will just buy what I want.

The good news is, we now know GS did not mod the Firmware.
As far as rooting it, no, I am going to wait until I get ICS. Believe me, I have thought about it, had my EVO 4G rooted before the first week was out that I owned it, laughing.
So can these games be updated with updates are released in the future?

Do your research first on razorclaw, I heard "in here" there were problems, good news is, it will just fail. Suggest you wait, but hey, do what you do.

Mine is HTK75.US_epad-8.8.3.27-20111122, earlier than yours; you probably did the OTA, right? Well, we just need to know what the build is on the ones from the other retailers out-the-box before OTA. Hope someone posts that info soon.

Yes I did do the OTA earlier, before the soft reset Settings/Privacy/Factory data reset.
On Asus ftp site, only the 8.8.3.29 build is available. Here's the link in case anyone wanted it

This thread is simply to count the people who have the Huawei Ascend Mate 2 so the dev's will realize how popular (or unpopular) the device is. I've had the HAM 2 since it came out and have been waiting for rooting methods to come out, but I can't find ANY info on it.
I came from the OnePlus forums, and just recently made my account here so don't hate if I did something wrong, just let me know.
Got one as well....i really like this phone but i'm waiting for that kit kat hopefully
Had mine about 4 weeks now
You can have my HAM2, when you pry it from my cold dead fingers!
I love this thing!
Mine 3 days old
Still on the first charge lol. My iPhone 5s has only -4hrs screen time, the HAM2 is a beast.
It is not all about processor as long as it has no lag one bit and not one app crashed on mine.
For $299 and get $30 T mobile unlimited all prepaid plan, I just wish I can cancel my grandfathered unlimited plan on at&t. Never turn my wifi ON and every month Minimum of 20gb data
I just don't know yet how to mirror my netflix on HAM2 to my chromecast?

To mirror the entire phone display I'm pretty sure you need to have a separate adapter just for that.
The only way to cast a chrome tab (from a phone) is to enable a setting only available in KitKat. Just another reason to find a Root+ROM.

Hello all,
I think we may need a bounty to get root! We've already started thinking about it in the old P6/Mate 1 thread. Anyone else in?!
Yessir
I registered just to voice my support for this phone. And I use the case that came with my preorder though I do have the black back.
Another owner here. I absolutely love my ham2. I'd put something down on a bounty if that happened.
Got one
Another owner checking in. Love it and waiting for root eagerly
Sent from my MT2L03 using XDA Free mobile app
Root plz. I really miss screencasting.
I have had this phone since it launched in the US. I love it, but I wish that it could be rooted.
It could be rooted, it just seems that we need to pitch in for a bounty so that a developer could do it for us.
There doesn't seem to be any developers on our phone, and none of the existing root methods for any other phone exists.
Got one when released in the US.

Well, on the heals of the announcement that our excellent device is now DOA due to lack of manufacturer support (ugh, AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS THING 3 WEEKS AGO!!!!!) I have decided to start a device request over with the CM team...
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/101462-huawei-ascend-mate-2-mt2l03-device-request/
We have the same SoC as the HTC Desire 816 - not apples to apples but atleast there should be some commonality for certain areas - so hoping we can get something started. Please light up the device request so we can try to get some buzz.

Where did you see that Huawei announced there will be no device support for our US model? If this is the case I will get rid of mine today.
They confirmed no KK, see thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-mate2/general/confirmed-kitkat-t2921399
And even their US offices aren't being given any info about any other updates, i.e. Lollipop. :crying:

I just signed up on the CyanogenMod Forums (I thought I already was, but I guess not) . I'll keep an eye on over there as well.

I'm not against custom ROMs obviously, but I hope you realize they don't care about device requests. The only way we'll get one is if some random nice developer (like Modding) comes along and decides to help.
We'll just have to wait and see (...again) what those developers that got a free Bait2 at BABBQ are going to do. That is, if they're going to do anything.

I don't remember living in a world where glass has a problem with spontaneous combustion. Phones get cracked or scratched either during the shipping process, or due to user error. They just don't develop scratches by themselves.
It is possible there was a hairline fracture in the glass, and while using it, it may have spread to be more noticeable. However a phone that is in pristine condition when unboxing, stays in said condition until there is user neglect.
so was this a scratch or a crack?

Either you are a troll or just trying to bash the nexus brand or maybe telling the truth. But 99.9% of the time screens just don't "crack" or "shatter" for no reason, if that were the case, how come even the low budget phones don't crack or shatter out of nowhere? But it's just a coincidence this phone shatters?

Your carrier advised you that glass cracks by sitting on the table when nobody is around? If that is what you understood from the memo, I am surprised the carrier still hasn't fired you. Now take your non sense elsewhere.

With that attitude, you're only scaring away other people that might wanted to share their experience with defective units otherwise. I don't understand the need to bash.

I'm sure we'll get a 'My phone spontaneously bent' post before too long. On a serious note I wish the mods would create the following threads: 'My phone is defective' and 'I damaged my phone and I blame the manufacturer'.

people keep complaining of "cheap Chinese crap"... This isn't the case. You are misinformed and need to do some research if you believe this. Yes, it's made in China. With Gorilla Glass 4. I wasn't aware Gorilla Glass' strength changed depending on the country it was assembled in.

If that is indeed the case his phone must have been defective when it left the factory, this post would go in the 'My phone is defective' thread. I have touched my screen with various degrees of pressure and no cracks have appeared, my phone is not defective. Anyhow the long and short is we don't need a new post for every single issue, spontaneous or otherwise.

You should learn to read. the Carrier has put the advisory not me.
They have advised us that some nexus 6p owners have reported that the glass panel has cracked spontaneously.

- we are aware that a small portion of Huawe Nexus 6p customers may be experiencing this issue
This is on Rogers in Canada

Bwahahahahahahaha..... Spontaneously bent. That is hilarious.
In total we've owned 10 smartphones over the last 6.5 years. Never has any glass cracked or shattered except one. Droid 2. Was less than a month old and in my wife's purchase. Something hit the screen and caused a tiny crack in the glass and lcd. Fought like hello get it fixed under manufacturer warranty as I hardly call that abuse but to no avail had to go through insurance.
Point is, these are sensitive expensive electronic devices. Even throwing into your pocket with keys in your pocket can cause some damage to it. It's not the manufacturer's fault. I honestly can't believe how people treat their devices. Some don't even realize what they do can damage it. (like my wife just keeping it in her purse.... With 10 different things that can bang into it.) unfortunately we as a society have higher expectations, but have lower expectations for our own actions.
I'm not saying anyone deliberately caused damage and is trying to milk the system (as some do)... But take a closer look at what you do with your device daily. You don't rub your keys against your TV do you? You don't toss your computer on the counter. Unless you can honestly say you have babies the device in cloth since cell minute 1....stuff happens.
Just setup my phone and it appears that there maybe screen bleed on either side of the display. It's really noticeable, especially on the home screen either side of the Google search bar and also any icons on the outer edge of the display.
If you grab an icon and drag it up and down the side of the display, you can see a small line of light from the icon on the outer edge of the display where it joins the aluminium frame.
Me and my bro both got the same model and same colour (S9+ coral blue, uk) and it's the same on both.
Just wondering whether it maybe the releftion from the frame as it protrudes more than the S8+ I'm using now. Also the finish of the fame is a different colour and finish.
Anybody else noticed this at all?
Well seen as how no body has replied thought I'd show a video.

Clearly showed the issue for me. I've had that same issue with other Galaxy phones. My note 7 was really bad! It's more than a case of, "just a few bad ones" I'm sure there would be many more complaints of this issue if people knew what to look for.

It's easy to see what the issue is. So regardless of the video not being a cinema experience, it clearly demonstrates the problem with the light bleed.
Having a look around seems that the issue has been seen on S8, S8+ and the note 8. There are other videos of the issue on YouTube just not with the S9+
Crap, I have the same problem.
Edit:
I did some digging and found out that this is not an issue. This is only reflection.
I installed Check My Pixels 2 and noticed that the "light leak" was reflecting the same color from the app.

Clearly showed the issue for me. I've had that same issue with other Galaxy phones. My note 7 was really bad! It's more than a case of, "just a few bad ones" I'm sure there would be many more complaints of this issue if people knew what to look for.

It's easy to see what the issue is. So regardless of the video not being a cinema experience, it clearly demonstrates the problem with the light bleed.
Having a look around seems that the issue has been seen on S8, S8+ and the note 8. There are other videos of the issue on YouTube just not with the S9+[/QUOTE]
I quoted the guy above me. I'm not saying anything is wrong with the video. I've seen the issue first hand. That's why I posted a pic of my note 7.

I'm not gonna lie but this comment is about as bad as it gets. Smh
Nothing is wrong with the video and this issue is more than just a few bad ones. It's been on all their phones work curved screens. I don't understand why you are putting down the OP'S video and post over a real concern. More people need to be aware of it. I bet it's more widespread than you realize. People just don't know what to look for or never notice it. You set a great example for being a senior member in xda

Sorry my bad, the reply wasn't aimed at you. I appreciate your comments.
I agree with your comments especially in regards to not knowing what to look for. My brother didn't even notice it until I shown him.
I've read about it being the way the light reflects with the curved display, I have my S8+ now an it doesn't have the same
Issue. It's really distracting once you notice it especially if your in a dim lit environment.

No problem. Hope your guys get a good replacement. I know for me, mine was more than just a reflection.

You nailed it.
"People just don't know what to look for or never notice it"
That's definitely something that is a real concern. Don't see it! Don't notice it. But it's there! Ahhhhh

Most people just throw a case on and that'll block the screen bleed. So, there's your can't see it and will never notice it. Look at the pic I posted. That's acceptable for a $900 plus phone? You can be a so called funny guy all you want. I don't care any further to look at or respond to your ignorance. If the glass and frame have the slightest gap you can see the light bleed through the sides. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5zg1zqqkb0ry9cm/IMG_20160820_051305.jpg?dl=0

AMOLED can't have light bleed. Light bleed is the backlight of an LED or LCD screen shinning through. Normally thru the sides or corners. What your seeing is the same thing you would see if you take any phone and tilt it to the same angle as the edge displays. Your seeing the glass and reflection in that glass at a different wave length I find it funny that your calling me ignorant while trying to argue an issue that the phone can't have. A simple Google could have saved you that trouble.
