UPDATE

New device on the way for me. Called support, told them the issue, email with instructions, etc. Let's see if new device has same problem. Took a pic of my current box label and will compare numbers so I'll have a lot number or other identifiable number if the new unit has no issues.
[Nexus 7 General] qwerty123321:
So I'm gonna retrun my second defective Nexus 7..and I'm gonna wait for the second or 3rd batch and hopefully this will be fixed.
[Nexus 7 General] freemeech:
I returned mine because the screen was lifting and the guy asked if I wanted a new one...I promptly said " Hell No!" And got my money back ...
[Nexus 7 General] qwerty123321:
lol,in my area I can't even get a new one!! it took me 3 days just to find this second Nexus 7..That's how fast they go around where I live..
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
So is there a chance it's a software issue?

Now it looks like a Hardware issue.

I don't want to replace mine now and get one with the same problem. Still didn't root mine yet thankfully.
[Nexus 7 General] qwerty123321:
I'm 99% sure it is software related since Screen Filter manages to "fix" the problem.

However, If I were you I'd return it..

I've had to return 2 nexus 7 tablets thus far and I'm gonna wait for the next batch of nexus 7 cuz the current ones are just too unstable.
[Nexus 7 General] shadow82x:
ugh..this screen flickering is my only issue and id really like to avoid sending it in. Is it a good chance its software related????
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
I think I'm going to wait as well. I don't want to waste time and get another one with the same issue. Mine is perfect expect for the screen Flickr issue.

Will try that app and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
Yep. As soon as I turned my WiFi off, the flickering stopped. And when I turned it back on, the flickering continued for as long as there seemed to be data transfer. So I guess my hypothesis was not correct. Now the issue is whether to return it. Who is to say that the next batch will have the problem fixed?
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
I would wait until there is tablets with it known to be fixed.

Otherwise you could just be wasting your time.

hopefully a driver update can just fix it all together.
[Nexus 7 General] potentiality:
Can someone get this. Set your brightness to absolute 0 ( lowest position)and see if its still happening. Tonight It only seems to be happening between 1-30%.

This may explain why some people still can't see it following the previous directions. It also may still be hardware as the flickering we see is the backlight going to absolute minimum then recovering. Since at O it already is the lowest power draw, the electronics governing the brightness percentage aren't in use.
[Nexus 7 General] felix_tung:
Noticed something new. Anyone try this and confirm please. Watching a movie for about 5 minutes. Note the black border of movie. Now go back to home screen or any picture. You will see black shade for when movie borders are. There's retention of black on mine. Anyone notices same thing?
[Nexus 7 General] igjoe:
I can't confirm personally, but there is a known ghosting issue with the Nexus 7. I returned mine due to flickering before I could test for this though.
[Nexus 7 General] Arthur Hucksake:
The flickering is well documented with Tegra devices. I honestly wouldn't return it for that just yet. Wait for drivers to come to fruition and hope Google push out an OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] VicenteAlbert:
Hi all,

When i charge my gio, the battery temperature reaches 45 even 50 degrees, is that normal ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Msilviu:
I have the same problem when i charging and playing games
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Manvendra05:
Yess... It is normal... Atleast till 45...but u shud keep in mind dat 50 can be a little higher... If it happens... There is not much u can do about it... But yes u can open the back cover or try to keep ur mobile in a cool nd dry place... But nothing much to worry as such.... :thumbup::cool::p:D
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] TechnoZombie:
Mine also tops at 50 while charging and playing so I guess it's fairly normal!

TechnoZombie live @ Gio
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dikasatrio:
yep, happened to me too. but i think playing while charging is not recommended for the good of your battery life :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] leoni1980:
EDIT: to clarify here, I'm after people's opinions who have moved from other devices such as the iPhone 4/S, Galaxy S3 etc.

I bought the One X with high hopes and, much to my dismay, the camera really doesn't exhibit the sort of quality that HTC suggested it might. Whilst the wider aperture IS noticeable, the overal lens quality is I think very average. I certainly noticed the difference between shots taken on my S3 and the One X. The most irksome thing though is that the One X compresses images so badly, yet allows no option to change it.

I still think the lens quality of HTC cameras is below par. It might be my imagination but I still see a dull, smeary quality to images taken on the One X. It's a massive step up from the Sensation, sure, but is anyone else a bit let down by the image quality on their device?

Just as an example, I took a shot of the same view in my messy, fairly dully-lit room on my One X and my old iPhone 4. It's worth noting that the iPhone image is 50% larger in size than the one of the One X, despite the One X having a 62% higher megapixel count.

http://db.tt/rGo7L0wZ

http://db.tt/SDrPvKGe

I'm not wanting to slate the device unnecessarily - I still love it! I just feel a bit let down with the image quality, given how hyped it - and ImageSense was. Maybe HTC should change their lens supplier :)
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
How many camera applications did you try ?

I think its known that the original htc camera app does too much compression.

There are alternatives, as more threads to this issue. Did you check them out?
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
@Op,

I find it a bit disapointing to see people keep opening threads without doing a little search first.

There already exist a lot of threads about the camera, it's a waist on the board.

Please ask yourself what are you trying to succeed with opening this thread, what kind of responses would you get?

Yes, no, yes, no...?
[HTC One X] leoni1980:
Get a grip, there is no need to be a moody sod just because I said something negative about your device. I think it was perfectly constructive. I searched the forums and there is no such thread other than one about Sense Versus AOSP.

I just wanted to see if anyone else was a bit disappointed with the camera, and what suggestions they might have, as well as what their opinion is if they've moved from another device.

I like using HDR and haven't found a third party app yet that allows me to do so.

Besides which, shouldn't HTC have released a camera app that excels in the first place?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RekAdy:
Hello xda comunity,

I would like to begin by saying that I've been using Nokia phones so far no matter what their OS was just because of the hardware. Long story short, I am getting dissapointed by my new Lumia 800 and I want to switch to Android as soon as the next Nexus with JB is released. I can see that between Windows Phone and Android is a huge difference regarding hacking and tweaking because Android is an open source.

My question is: Without any knowledge about the Android OS, will switching be easy ( keeping stock OS and ROMs and Kernels ), or I will spend weeks to try and find better ROMs and get into hacking my device??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
Switching is easy , no need to be anxious :) nexus devices especially are easy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RekAdy:
Is there any difference between using a phone bought from the store ( stock ) and using it with custom ROMs, Kernels, stuff??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:
Yeah, it can be. Some roms are really similar to stock, but with some tweaks to improve performance and battery. But other roms are completely different, just take a look at miui. Both miui and cm supports themes, so you can change how it looks to your liking :)

For many phones custom roms also gives the user access to newer android versions than what's avaible officially, though that is probably not the case with a nexus device ;)

Kernels can be tweaked to improve performance and battery and also usually supports overclocking, so you can let it work on higher speeds to improve performance, but this reduces battery life.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RekAdy:
Yeah.. one of my biggest concerns about moving to Android is losing the things that Nokia is known for: Battery life and Strong Signal. Will my future Nexus last a full day without any "battery saving app"?? Are there any problems with the signal?? I know my questions sound dumb, but I'm used to hate Android and I don't trust myself right now :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorigo:
Well you're battery life can be extended to 2/3 days with moderate/light use, but frankly, dont expect to get nokia levels of battery life. However I'm sure with the right radio/modem you can get great signal. Plus there are loads of tweaks to improve connection speeds/signal etc so you'll be fine there.

As mentioned earlier, a custom rom, especially the really modified ones, can improve your battery life, speed, ease of use, amount of features and the look and feel of your phone immensely!

As for ease of coming to android, it's pretty easy. I got my phone, watched a few tutorial vids/read some threads and had my phone rooted and running a custom rom in a matter of hours. Nexus/Samsung devices i find are especially easy to use/customize

[Nexus 7 Accessories] thatguych4rlie:
After ordering a 16GB Nexus 7 the other night, I've grown worried like many of you about how I'll fit all the data I need on my shiny new tablet.

After some research, I found that the best solution for extending the tablet's storage in the event USB host doesn't work out would be the Kingston Wi-Drive. I'm planning on ordering the 32GB version of this drive tomorrow unless any of you have other suggestions as how to further the limited storage in the Nexus 7.

http://www.kingston.com/us/usb/wireless/
[Nexus 7 Accessories] BiggerH:
So does this device create its own wifi network, or does it need a separate network to work?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] tenjohn23:
Can u conform that it has a USB host .
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Domino_13:
The problem is these drives have short battery life (according to the reviews on Amazon), only about 3 or 4 hours.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mo976:
90 bucks for 32gb is steep (newegg.com) perhaps you just have to consider what you actually need on the tablet, and not just dump whatever you may one day want to watch or listen to.

I am sure the good folks here will figure out a way to get us usb hosting.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] thebobp:
Can you browse the internet at the same time? It sounds like this would take the wifi slot..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Domino_13:
Don't think so. Sounds like it sets up a wifi network that you connect to just to be able to access the files.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SoonerLater:
Take a look at the 500gb Seagate Satellite which costs similar to the Kensington Wi-Drive ($168 @ Amazon vs $185 for 64gb Wi-Drive; $83 for 32gb), but stores a ton more -- and it has better battery life (about 6 hours in my experience). The only drawback is that it is physically larger and heavier than the Wi-Drive.

If you buy a Satellite, you should consider installing the hacked firmware:

www.hackseagatesatellite.com. I did and consider it to be worth every penny. I've got >400 movies on mine, with something to please every kid. Every kid can watch his own choice in movies at the same time. I've been very, very pleased.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] TidBit:
My solution is to use AirDroid and my computer. I just have to remove things when I'm done with them.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ACCUSED24:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seagate-GoF...External_Hard_Disk_Drives&hash=item4ab90d4c27

Looks good to me.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dennishhh:
The seagate looks great, anyone have one? No more problems with movie downloads! goflex-satellite/
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SoonerLater:
That's a great price... if it sticks over 4 days. It's new (according to the seller), but open box. I don't know this seller, but after buying crap on ebay for about a decade, my experience is that 3 out of 4 times when someone says, "new, never used, open box" means "used, but didn't like it." That being said $80 for a used Satellite is still a good deal, IMHO. Just decide how important a warranty from Seagate is before you buy it.

YMMV

EDIT: I remember buying a "brand new, unused" smartphone that arrived full of the seller's data, including the login information for his real estate company's website. I wonder if he ever figured out why his visitors were being redirected to a porn site for about a week...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] GrillMouster:
The Airstash is popular with iPad owners. It's basically a wifi drive, like the Kingston and Seagate ones, except the Airstash also has an SD card slot, so it's expandable.

One thing about these wifi drives is that, for most of them, when your device is connected to it, your device cannot also be connected to the internet via wifi. There is one wifi drive, I'm not sure if it's the Airstash or another, that "passes through" the internet connection. So, while your device is connected to the device's storage, you also have an internet connection.

There is a newer version of the Airstash that's smaller (about the size of a pack of gum) and a little more expensive ($125 on Amazon for the 8GB and $141 for the 16GB). It might be worth trying to find the older model for a little less.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SoonerLater:
The hacked firmware on the Seagate Satellite has the ability to serve you files while you're connected to the internet by other means. The stock firmware (unless Seagate has updated the f/w) doesn't allow that (you'r either connect to the Satellite or to internet).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] thekillingtree:
+1.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dennishhh:
I asked eye-fi about using the seagate to get files from their wifi card and they said it wouldn't work. Looks like the hack will fix that so eye-fi can send files directly from camera to seagate.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] lanwarrior:
$35 for the moded software?! Kinda steep.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] thatguych4rlie:
I looked at the satellite but decided that the wi-drive was more portable and, according to reviews on Anandtech, has better battery life.

I'm sure one of us developers will figure out how to enable USB host for low-powered USB devices very quickly after release if it's not already enabled.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] climo:
WOW thanks for the tip about Airdroid!! No more using the USB cord!!! Works flawlessly!! :D
[Android Apps and Games] DroidModder:
Hey everyone! I came across this application earlier today and thought it was really cool and worth to share. The application will use your camera and basically make all your screens that you view transparent/translucent. You can adjust it all. Its really cool and I recommend taking a look! Just search "Transparent Screen" in the Google Play Store. Enjoy! And don't forget to hit that THANKS BUTTON!!

Does someone know, if I wipe cache, wipe dalvik, restore factory settings in my GB rom and then restore the CWM backup, then all the wiping and factory settings done before would be useless?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Lieu10ant:
Okay, so do we automatically get the free 50 gigs? Cause I just got an email form dropbox telling me to do these "5 steps" in order to get 48 gigs. Is that what they are talking about? or is this 5 step thing for an ADDITIONAL 48 gigs?

btw, this is my first time ever using dropbox.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] huibn:
Yes, but you can use it For only 24 months..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Bizdady:
Hmm I never got such email.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:
Yes and Yes. you get the free space for 24 months. As for the steps, it is just DropBox trying to get you to learn about drop box, invite friends, etc. A good marketing ploy of things you need to do before they release the extra space.

Also, you get the email when you sign-up or sign-in to DropBox from your phone.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] NeoDude007:
My Sprint GS3 had some kind of DropBox popup. I don't think I had to do anything with an email or follow any steps. I installed DropBox and BOOM I have about 50 gigs now all the sudden.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:
If you had a dropbox account already, chances are you stepped through the "5 steps" already when you first signed up, which means you should just get the extra space, and an email saying so.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Manvendra05:
True that!!! :rolleyes::D:p:thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] redline57:
You have to options, at the start up settings or by pass that

and just log in to you dropbox after. The device will let you know the rest

and yeah you should get an email.

Hi USER,

Thanks for supercharging your Samsung device with Dropbox! To claim your 48 GB of space, complete five steps from our Get Started guide.

[Nexus Q General] dj_ghosie:
First of all, I know what a Q is as I was watching the presentation. My actual question is, what Google wants the NQ be? It seems like another expensive experiment initiated by them and to ask everyone the jump, contribute and to work out a solution. The only difference between this time and Google TV is that this thing is beautiful on its own and people will be relative less picky regarding its function.

The fiction that ElGoog is offering is extremely limited and its accompanying hardware is too much of an overkill to only serve this function. Could this be the first step of GoogleTV's sneaky penetration to stylish households or the first piece of puzzle of the grand Android@Home initiative?
[Nexus Q General] Eli_s:
I think that the big idea behind the Q, is the ability to share the control with everyone around it, what i think is pretty cool:p
[Nexus Q General] tjdwowh:
I received a Nexus Q at Google IO, and personally, it's not a piece of equipment that I would purchase with my own money. It seems like it does too little for too much.

The concept, however, is very cool. The fact that you can just stream from all of your friends' libraries is exciting. When cloud based media storage becomes the absolute norm, Nexus Q will probably take a more indispensable niche in people's households. Until then, it seems slightly ahead of its time.

I think the answer to your last question is yes; I can definitely see Google making more advances to Androidify more electronics and traditional furniture.
[Nexus Q General] Mrozik1990:
Does it works via NFC?
[Nexus Q General] ocran:
Only to initialize the communications, ie, shake hands. Further communication is through wifi from your phone to the Q(either wifi or ethernet).
