Toshiba - PLEASE FIX THE THRIVE ICS PROBLEM or OFFER REFUNDS OR UPGRADES

My story is no different from others on this forum.  I bought a Thrive 10" in January.  Thought it was great.  Installed the ICS update from Toshiba in August and started having the same problems as many others have listed.
Because the Thrive is not my primary computing/surfing tool, I overlooked the problems, thinking that Toshiba would finally post a patch update and the issues resolved.  After waiting 4 months, I contacted Toshiba support to get help.  Though the tech support was courteous, they had no solution other than going through the ineffective process of suggesting a hard reset to "factory settings" which did nothing.  Browser still crashes, unit locks up, SD card issues, etc.
I cannot say this is all 100% factual but here is what I was able to learn from Tech Support.
Toshiba did not develop the ICS update.  It was provided by a third party.
There is no fix/patch that a user can install.  The tablet will need to be sent to a service center.
There is no way for the user to roll back to R3.X (Honeycomb).  That will require a service technician. 
There does not appear to be any plan to provide a patch to fix the problems.
Toshiba assumes no responsibility for the ICS problems.  The ICS upgrade was solely at the customer's discretion.  Too bad it didn't work.
This is a software problem.  Toshiba warrants the hardware only.  Even if the Thrive is still under warranty, the customer will have to pay for repair.
I'm just guessing but I get the impression that there are multiple builds of the Thrive, likely using different internal components.  If you consider the level of integration between the hardware and software on a tablet, it could be there is no "one size fits all" fix.
Saying all that, I cannot believe Toshiba, a major supplier, is willing to risk its reputation by not fixing a problem that it has created.  I believe they should:
Provide a patch release to solve the problem.
If the user cannot perform the update, provide the service at no charge.
If it can't be fixed, offer a replacement Thrive or credit towards a new tablet.
Refund the cost of the Thrive.
I will continue to contact/badger Toshiba Tech Support until this problem is resolved and would hope other users on this forum will do the same.

I would say I hope and pray they don't "offer a replacement Thrive or credit towards a new tablet."  I will never buy another Trashiba again after this POS.  I am looking at a Samson now.
What they need to do, is offer the ROM for HC on their site where you can download it copy to the SD card and install from the recovery mode (and recovery mode install is not that hard even a idiot can do it with the proper instructions instructions
Reboot while holding the up volume and power button
when presented with the 2 icons select the one with the box, using volume rocker to select and power for enter
select apply update from SD card  
that how it is on most if not all android devices)
But with the problems with the "thrive" and the fact that it not root able nor can you get a replacement rom, I will never buy another trashiba, I have already talked 3 people out of buying trashibas (unhappy customers usally leads to negative recomendations and loss sales but it not like thrashiba cares what 4 customers?)
Plus I am very sure the way they are doing things at thrashiba they are probably in violations of the GNU.

  • Hey Verizon / HTC / Google  Please fix the caller ID problem, post 2.2 Froyo UPDATE.

    Hey Verizon / HTC / Google  Please fix the caller ID problem, post 2.2 Froyo UPDATE.  This is a major Problem. 

    I have provided some steps below that may help with the Caller Id issue you are experiencing.
    Try completing a soft reset on the device. A soft reset would be powering the device off and pulling out the battery. Once the battery is removed, place it back in and power the device back on.
    Dial *228 and send. Once dialed, listen for the recording to prompt you for option 1 and select option 1. The phone should complete its programming within a minute.
    Ensure you are using the area-code and 7 digit number format (ex. 9999951212)
    Try removing the contact and re-adding it.

  • RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
    IT DOESN'T WORK
    I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    Hi Kvoter,
    What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
    *''' it should be able to do that'''
    * my firefox does that
    I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
    I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
    * the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
    *the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
    If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
    Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.
    John

  • Did the new MBA fix the overheating/freezing problem??

    hi everyone!
    i'd like to ask anyone who has tried out the new MacBook Air: have they fixed the overheating/freezing problem??
    i've had 3 MBAs over the 3 years (all different versions) and they were all overheating - i.e. when i was using them for a while and had more internet pages/applications opened they started to get really hot and at some point the computer slowed down to a point where i could not work anymore and had to just close it and let it cool down for a while. playing a youtube video without problems is almost impossible.
    i love all the other features of the MacBook Air, but this slowing down is super annoying, especially for someone who spends hours at a computer daily.
    plus the other day my friend who has a MacBook Pro asked why my computer was so loud - i never noticed but the fans are just so noisy compared to hers.
    so please let me know what are your experiences with the new one compared to the older ones.
    thanks a lot!

    I have the high end 13" macbook air that came down to about 2000 cnd. It overheats quite frequently though. I find it the strangest when I am only watching netflix on safari. maybe 2 tabs opened with mail and preview app opened... Dont even have to mention other things.. it heats up when I am coding on Coda.. using photoshop (2 files opened)..
    Another thing is that sometimes it doesnt register to the current time immediately. After I wake it up from sleep, I have to wait abotu 3-5 secs until the cursor can respond and the time is corrected (usually the time is at when I closed the macbook air.)
    Have you guys heard of these problems?
    Thx

  • They fixed the right click problem, but now there is a bigger problem

    after updating, I can use my right click perfectly on Windows XP. however, my windows XP starts to restart very often-which means the "blue-sceen" comes out very often. I believe many poeple has this problem because I had already read couple of complains...Well...I hope apple can fix it soon.

    I could not right click on my macbook's Precision aluminum unibody enclosure under windows xp, and after updating the trobubleshooter, it works. However, my windows starts to restart again and again (the blue screen) and it says it is because the applemtp.sys has some problems. I read couple of others people's experiences on the Internet, and they all so it started to happen after they fix the right click problem.

  • Unable to navigate requested Expression.Please fix the metadata consistency

    Hello ,
    I have created one criteria but when I m running the request i m geeting this error, State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14026] Unable to navigate requested expression: Dim - GL Account.Unit Code. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings. (HY000)
    now when i checked the RPD for this and run the consistency check everything went fine.No warning MSG, No Error, No Best Best Practice.
    now i checked the join condition in BMM for the dimension i m using in report and fact.
    it's like Fact F is directly Joined with Dim A & Dim B.
    now when i checked the Physical join it's like Fact F1 is joined with Dim Aand Dim C , Fact F2 is joined with Dim B and Dim C.
    so there is no direct fact table join between Dim A and Dim B.
    Fact F1 & Fact F2 goes as MTLS in BMM and creating Fact F, now when i got this error i went to Fact F in BMM and checked the LTS and level of granuality for DIM A and Dim B for Fact F1 and Fact F2 respectively. and it is also set as detail level. and in BMM LTS Fact F1 and Fact F2 is also join with inner join with Dim C. and Dim C's level of granuality is also set in Fact F1 and Fact F2 .
    the Columns that i m taking criteria are coimng from Fact F, Dim A, Dim B.
    can anyone suggest me what to do in this case????
    Thanking you..

    Hi Veer,
    If I get you correctly,
    In BMM
    Fact F = (physical F1 + F2)
    In Physical:
    F1 -> Dim A, Dim C ; F2 -> Dim B,Dim C
    So, in your BMM, please make sure that
    1. Logical source for physical F1 has 'Detail for Dim A, Dim C' and 'Total for Dim B'
    2. Logical source for physical F2 has 'Detail for Dim B , Dim C' and 'Total for Dim A'.
    I think this should resolve the issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

    As of my knowledge, you shouldn't get results set for any of views because of this error..!!
    I see you are using 2 facts in the report.
    And, dimensions you are using in this reports are confirmed dimensions to these 2 facts?
    Are you mentioned proper content levels for each Fact LTSs?
    Basic funda is: If fact and dimensions are joined directly, then you should mention the the level of granularity in Fact LTS. If not, you should mention total level of the dimensional hierarchy for the Fact LTS

  • Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone)

    Excuse me apple I had the police nock on my door about an iPad that was located at our house and the owner lost the iPad in-between bowral nsw and Sydney can you please fix the app (Find My IPhone) so that person can find their iPad coz the police would of taken mine if I did not show proof of purchase

    You are not communicating with Apple by posting here. Everyone here is just a fellow user and cannot fix anything.
    The Find My iPad service may have indeed been accurate to the limits of the technology. Unless the iPad was a 3G unit, location is determined based on the nearest WiFi router which in your case could just happened to have been yours. The police may be the ones who need to "fix" their understanding of how the technology works and its limitations.
    If you want to provide feedback to Apple on the matter, you can do so via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    but to be of any good you'll have to provide them with more precise details.

  • Please fix the "word substitution" feature!

    The macros "%b" "%B" "%p" of word substitution is broken since 10.1.0. It is import for me. I have thousands of entries of it on my BOLD9900(about 30000 entries). Without them I can not input text efficently.
    The macros "%b" "%B" "%p" just don't work. And if I use two of them, the second is treated as normal letters except a macro. For example, I set a Word Substitution entry like this:
    myname %bqueshw
    Then when I type "myname" twice, I get "queshw queshw". There is a space between the two "queshw". It should not be there.If I set a entry like this:
    myname %b%bqueshw
    Then I get "%bqueshw". The second "%b" is treated as normal letters now.
    1. Please fix the broken macros.
    2. Please activate the "word substitution" feature as default for the TextArea class. There are two class for inputting text , TextField and TextArea. But the TextArea is setted to inactivate the "word substitution" feature as default now.
    3. Please open the APIs of "word substitution", and I can develop an app myself to import my entires from BOLD9900 to my Q10.
    Please!!!
