If I put my hand over the top left of the device the wifi strength drops significantly. Besides that it seems to work well.

I tried enabling mobile data in my Samsung Galaxy S plus, but no 3g indicator poped up. So i checked the apn settings and I see that no settings are there at all.

I tried making a new apn settings or even make my provider send me the apn settings themselves, but the settings won't be saved (the list remains empty!)

Any solutions for that?

Hi.

Same situation happened to me on my Samsung Captivate (googling solutions led me to this post!).

I think I was able to get my 3g issues to fix after I toggled airplane mode on and off. After doing that, the 3g label showed up on the menu bar, and I had 3 options available to me in the APN settings. Also, the Data Usage tab began to show stats for Data, and not just wifi.

wow... this solved the issue. After I deactivated Airplane mode, the settings came back. Many thanks m8! (really weird that it did tbh, but meh :P )

I would do that also just to be sure, but i haven't rooted the phone yet and I hope I don't have to (although I will sooner or later :P )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermata_:
I would not know why it is like that, maybe someone more technologically-savvy could figure that out. haha

Just make sure to toggle airplane mode everytime you reboot your phone, because this "fix" is not permanent

How to unlock bootloader and root a GNEX running JB

I put together a care package for unlocking the bootloader and rooting a Galaxy Nexus running Jellybean. It contains everything you need from square one, including all software and detailed instructions. The filename is adbkit.zip and you can get it at http://mediafire.com/strumcat

I take no credit for the software or methods described, since they are available elsewhere on XDA and across the net.

Hi all,

As per the thread title, is there any known way to get flash working with any browser on the Nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapscallion16:
You can install a separate APK from online, as in the Play Store flash is listed as incompatible. It should work fairly well with most browsers, however Chrome does not support Flash at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arun01:
So how is web browsing on the 7? Any lag in browsing or typing ...loading pages..etc?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapscallion16:
Browsing with Chrome is super smooth. There was some noticeable lag at first, but after the OTA update, everything ran a lot smoother, and haven't noticed any lag since. Typing is just as smooth too. For some graphic-intensive pages, the whole site doesn't show-up while you're scrolling until you stop scrolling, but it's a very minor issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 150pilot:
Browsing is really nice in Chrome. Better than Dolphin HD in fact. I'd like to know how to get flash to install though to use with Dolphin HD. I have Flash 11 .apk but it will not install and noting else is showing up in GP. Anyone?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapscallion16:
I'm having the same problem. I heard that is has to do with the OTA update messing with the ability to install Flash. Other APK's installed fine, so I can't think of why else.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapscallion16:
Well, right now I'm not rooted, and it's just popping up an alert saying "Can't open file", which is what the other APK I downloaded said. Have you done the OTA update?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
I'm rooted & running a custom Modaco ROM. You you need to unrar the file & install the apk.

1. Sideload Firefox and Flash

- grab the flash apk from the millions of similar posts on XDA

- grab the firefox apk from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android (go to the part where it says "download the Firefox APK file directly from our FTP server")

2. After launching Firefox, install add-on Phony and set user agent to Desktop Firefox

For an ever more desktop like experience install adblock and turn off "click to play" for plugins and just have the things load

Edit/Note: Yes I have a Nexus 7 and i am using this method

Hey all, Im going through the same thing after updating to Modaco GR3 (4.1.1). Ive tried dolphin, skyfire, boat, opera, ICS plus, and they all either crash or FC. I even tried to force a stock browser apk into system apps and it wouldnt install at all. I am going to revert to a back up I have of Modaco GR2 (4.1) and test the same videos. If it works Ill be sticking with it even though it crashes in the modaco launcher when adding apps or widgets. Ill update this if I figure anything out.

UPDATE: After going back to 4.1 I was able to get flash working in Dolphin if I set the user agent to IPad. So I decided to try the same thing after reflashing Modaco 4.1.1 and it still worked. The resolution was pretty bad with no way to change it, but it worked. I really love everything about this tablet (including chrome), except for lack of flash. I know HTML 5 is eventually coming and is superior according to a lot of people, but I still have quite a few sites that use flash. So until everyone finally gets around to html 5 I guess we will have to use other browsers.

I got flash working by installing an older flash version, then upgrading to a newer version...then downloading the Aurora browser via web link.

There's steps to this process over in the android forums .. I'll see if I can find a link . brb

Steps are here : http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-forum/189897-no-flash-got-you-down-try-fix.html

1) Obtain an older flash .apk, a newer flash .apk, and the firefox .apk. All of which can be snagged from the internet, your phone using Airdroid or a similar app, or at the bottom of this post.

2) Install the older Flash .apk, then update to the newer one. (below are numbered in the order that one should flash them, with 1 being older and 2 being newer)

3) After (and only after) installing and updating flash, install the firefox .apk. (remember flash is not always on by default in firefox. If you want the default browser experience, you need to go into the firefox settings, find plugins and select "enabled")

4) Enjoy!

Latest Flash .apk!

Posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1978681

1. Get Flash .apk

2. Go to 'Settings', to 'Security' and put a check by 'Unknown Sources'

3. If you downloaded the .apk straight to your device go to step 4. If not, go to 'Settings', to 'Developer options'. There may be a toggle for 'Developer options' that needs to be turned on. Then find 'Android debugging' and put a check by it. Attach your device to the USB port of your computer with the provided cable. The PC may need to find USB drivers or you may need to do it manually when prompted. Finally copy and paste the Flash .apk to your device.

4. Install Flash .apk. This may be as simple as finding it in a file explorer app and tapping it or you may have to download an app installer from the Play Store.

5. Download a browser that uses Flash, such as Firefox Beta, from the Play Store. If you would like to use the Browser app here's a guide to installing it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28954717 (requires that user have root access). Chrome will not display Flash. Whichever browser you choose, check the settings when installed to be sure it uses Flash.
