[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
There seems to be some debate whether "Asus Transformer Pad" means only the TF300 or the TF300 and TF101. Either way, I would guess the TF101 will get stock JB considering the issues some people still have with ICS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sidneyk:
Asus now calls our TF101s the Eee Pad Transformer and the TF300 the Transformer Pad. Subtle, I know, but enough to give them an out if they feel the need. It sounded to me like a for sure for Tegra 3 and we don't know yet for Tegra 2. It's already been proven to run great on Tegra 2 so there is really no excuse to withhold it from us. I'll probably run a custom ROM anyway so it really won't matter to me. It might be nice though to get some of the Asus parts for custom ROMs where they and nVidia should know the hardware and it's secrets better than we do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xratex:
nah, we will have to trust in devs from now on, Asus wont give us JB
[Eee Pad Transformer General] just lou:
I most definitely will run a custom JB ROM if ASUS doesn't provide one. Chances are the dev. version will be better anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] cjb110:
Just got nexus, so I loaded it up with various films, mp3's etc for testing.

first failure, the videos all appear ok in movies, even the ones it can't play (mov, mkv's).

none of the apk's I put in downloads appear...but they do appear as taking space in storage.

try to install Root Explorer (300k), can't not enough space...checked...got 300Mb+ free...

wtf is that all about!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baldeagle76:
I was thinking about the Nexus 7 storage issue, what with not having a microSD slot and 16gb being the max, and I was wondering; would it be possible to compile android for the Nexus 7 onto a 64gb SD card, pry open the Nexus, and replace the one in it with the 64gb SD card slot with Android? I'm not into hardware modding, so I don't know if this is even possible, but if it is, I think it'd be great.

Also, yes, I know there's a microUSB slot and developers will add USB host support and all that, but I'm talking about the microSD slot, not microUSB.

Moderators - I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so please move it to the proper place if necessary. Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backlund:
Unless I missed something, the memory inside the device is not a Micro SD slot. It's most likely memory soldered on to the mainboard.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baldeagle76:
Aaah... I see. Well, that's a shame... So definitely no way to do this then?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aristurtle:
There's a few teardown pics over at iFixit. The flash is a surface - mount flash chip from Kingston, not an internal SD card slot or anything like that. If you had, like, supernatural skills with a soldering iron, maybe you could remove it and solder in Kingston 's 32GB eMMC chip and it might work? Most likely you'd destroy the tablet. I've been soldering for years and I wouldn't try it.

If sales are strong someone will probably make a case that provides storage on the USB port without an ugly dangling drive. Or you could just upload all your music to Google and stream it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexcellent:
Not possible, I also don't think it's worth the hassle.... just forget about the Nexus 7 and go buy a tablet with more storage!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baldeagle76:
Got it, thanks. Well, good thing I use google music then, so it shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the info!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serjts:
You can..

There is a way by using the usb host functionality. But "replacing" the existing flash isn't a practical option I believe..

I really can't afford screwing up my nexus (I haven't even received it yet!), but soldering a usb memory card reader chip to the usb connector would be an effective way of adding external storage with minimal to no drawbacks while possibly keeping it inside the case.

I really don't understand why google didn't include a slot.. I hope it wasn't a decision from the design department because if so they could avoid everyone being pissed at this.

If you don't want (and I am shure you don't) the hassle of picking up a soldering iron and cutting your nexus you can just buy an OTG usb cable and connect any external hardware/usb stick to the nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brainbone:
From Google:

That said, it doesn't explain why they didn't add 16GB internal storage AND an SD slot.

Edit:

Seeing that the Nexus 7 is the Asus Memo ME370T, and the ME370T was reported as having an SD card, before the Nexus 7 took its place, it's likely that the SD slot solder pads are on the device somewhere. Perhaps J1? CON3 was likely for the rear facing camera the Nexus 7 lacks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdyowa:
Google drive. $4.99 a month for 100gb. That's why they didn't include it. It's a really good deal though, and it works great. Plus, your HDD won't take a sudden crap after two years(like my 1tb Seagate drive did).

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forexamplejohn:
Hey guise.

Not that this is an internal mod, but it's kinda close.

I took a sandisk cruzer fit, disassembled, removed the flash chip/pcb, and soldered a male microsub onto it, along with the OTG mod.

The small size makes it light, less likely to snag/snap, and ultra portable. Would fit in your wallet or perhaps in a nexus folio with some work.

I posted it on reddit r/nexus7 and the response was nil, even though I've seen people ask for solutions a million times there.

Anyways, pics. I can't post a link to imgur yet per forum rules since I'm a n00b - but I'll leave it up to your imagination how to complete this l i n k. Someone else can reply with the pics so they're in the thread, fine by me.

Hey guys

I ordered the OTG cable for my N7 but i also explored the fact it's very possible to Solder a storage inside the device specially there's a lot a free room for it .

i added a screen shot from tear down on Ifix it.

what you need for this project:

N7

32 GB usb

motherboard cable type very slim connection

solder gun

Iron

Please don't do this if you not an expert in soldering its very tiny area

make sure to remove the speaker before you start

i added a screenshot on how the cable has to be soldered

all what needed is solder the cable to the storage card could be USB or SD but has its connector

and solder it to the micro USB input as per the picture.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forexamplejohn:
*edit - pic shows up now, sorry

very cool marakji.

Personally I may use the extra space inside the nex to install an inductive charger/touchstone, since extra storage is something mostly useful when travelling. carrying the little microusb drive to store/playback that media is easy enough. But easier charging is useful every day.

That is so frecking awesome. Would this work with the new Nexus 4? I think reddit and many people on this forum would be VERY interested in how you did this. I'm sure it's about posting it in the right place and the right time (i.e. now, as the new Nexus range has been announced with relatively low storage so people are looking for a possible solution). This is very pocket-able and I wonder how difficult it would be to assemble one of these.

Google Drive

I like Google Drive. I use it myself.....for any non-sensitive files. But quite bluntly, I don't trust my sensitive data online. The 'cloud' is not unhackable, and I simply don't trust it. ALL my important data is offline. And I want the ability to store in to SD, so I can take it out of the system when I'm not using it. Currently, I use the OTG dongle, and it works well enough, but it's quite bluntly, a pain, and a serious weak spot for day-in-day-out use.

Case mod with sandisk cruiser fit.

we could make a case that in the back has the usb "chip" attached and cables that go to the micro usb port.so when the case is on there in nothing extra. not sure if that is possible, just a suggestion.Not sure if it would consume battery to have it on all the time but it would be cool.Another thing could be to find a way to charge it while it is on althought i think "twoway" microusb is imposible. if anyone knows let me know.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LesserAnimal:
so i'm planning on removing the casing of a sandisk fit usb at card. at this point its a flat chip chip with the standard usb leads printed on it. and nothing else. Basically going to wire it up just behind the usb port. possibly see if i can cheat and trace a few of the points to another location real close to avoid getting it too cramped. I've replaced microusb ports a hand full of times but its a painful experience. I've learned a few things since those days though. I'll try and post pictures when I'm done. If I fail i'll probably just get another and try again sometime down the road. Its kinda my one dispensable electronic item...

you very much.

And Please forgive me for English。
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Sorry but that is not possible right now.

We have a locked bootloader on the atrix2 so, there is not a way to install non-stock ROMs until we can figure a way to get the bootloader unlocked. This also applies to AOSP and AOKP ROMs as well. The issue is these all require kernels to run, and you can not flash a kernel with a locked bootloader.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
The ATRIX 2's bootloader is locked, therefore such roms as you've mentioned will not be 1) made for the ATRIX 2 nor 2) work on the ATRIX 2 until the bootloader is unlocked. A few simple forum searches could have shed some understanding regarding this, had you taken the time to do so. We're all getting unnecessarily frustrated seeing new locked bootloader-related and ICS/JB threads posted here when doing a little leg work to research on your own before cluttering up the forum would answer most -if not all of your questions. Please read this thread and watch the video (again) so hopefully we can manage to quell these types of things before they get out of hand more than they've already gotten: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778853

[HTC One V] Satyaki:
Hi friends,

Happy to post my 1st thread in XDA :)

Last friday got my HTC one V (had to wait for 10 long days to get it from homeshop18 :( ) Played a lot with the new features and enjoyed it.

Phone runs stock ICS and not rooted.

There are 2 thnings I noticed.

1)I noticed that while coming back to home screen(either by pressing home button or by pressing back button) from one open application e.g. Calculator, it loads the home screen with some dalay(1-2 seconds).But if I come to home screen from list of applicaitons(not from any open application), it loads the home screen without any delay. I checked this behavior with galaxy s and sl where i din't notice any such delay.But one thing I noticed that when I press home button from any app say, calculator, it actually closes the application and loads the home screen but in galaxy s and sl, it loads the home screen without closing the appln.You can find it running in background in task manager.Is this the reason for the dalay in HTC one v?

2)When connecting the phone with HTC Sync Manager in my DELL Inspiron 1545, it says "Device Unavailable" , but it works fine in compaq laptops.I Googled it to know that it is a known issue but no resolutions found :rolleyes:

I hope friends in XDA has some suggestions for the 2 probs.

Hi donhashem,

the reason for the lag was due to the fact that the OS closes/destroys all the activity as soon as the user leaves it. This setting can be on/off from Settings>developer options>Apps>Don't keep activities[On or Off].

Hope this will help you or any one tackling the problem by not doing a factory reset.

Once you download a tar file, move it to the root of your SD card or internal storage. Once in mobile Odin click either kernel/modem ect... then click on the tar file you want to flash. Move down to the bottom where it says flash firmware. Click that button. If the file is correct and in the right spot. It will ask "are you sure you want to flash this" click yes. Profit.
