It looks like there are two different mounts. One with ball joint and one without. I purchased thru link provided in OP and got one without ball joint. Maybe Arkon decided to get rid of ball joint on this model because I couldn't find two different models of this particular mount. Anybody else who got this mount recently got same mount as mine (without ball joint)? I'll post pic latter today.

This is my mount without ball joint.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Ok that sux! I bought my SM517 through the same link! And I got the one with the ball joint.

I mean even on arkon.com when I searched for sm517, I got here:

http://www.arkon.com/accessories/galaxy_tab_windshield_mount.html

There's even a video indicating that you can go from portrait to landscape mode.

Can you tell on the packaging that it was indeed a sm517?

Upon further investigating, the joint looks like it was intended for a gps system. As a result landscape only.

Yep, it says sm517. I'll try to contact seller on Amazon to see what they say about this.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] billvinson:
I'm thinking of using the included disc to mount this inside a cubby in my dash, but I'm wondering the arm is long enough to extend outward to clear the opening. I tried to include an image showing the Honda CR-V dash, but I'm too much of a noob to post the image properly it seems (<10 posts). So here's the naked link...

images.billvinson.com/cr-v_dash.jpg

The doored opening is ~5 inches deep. If anyone could tell me how far the SM517 extends (when extended completely straight out) from suction base to the mounting head, that would be really helpful.

BTW, the image shows the opening with the door. I'm undecided whether I will just open the door or completely remove it to allow for the mount to be installed...

Thanks,

Bill

Originally this was my attempt at making my own case using a block of painted wood and an Amazon-purchased Nexus 7 case that I wasn't overly happy with.

http://imgur.com/a/vBPIm#0

As time went on I was missing the adjustment flexibility that I have with my Akron seat bolt mount that I have in my van. The seat bolt mount won't really fly in my car because of available space in the area that the neck will reach. The van just has more cockpit area to make it happen easier.

As a result I purchased an Akron desktop case with a ball joint that I plan on changing quite a bit. I'll likely disassemble it and attach the ball joint to the wooden wedge block (not sure how... maybe epoxy?) that works in the open area in my dash. That way I can basically achieve the same thing I had before in my car, except with having more adjustability this time around. Despite there being a ton of cases out there, with how different some vehicles are sometimes I can't help but to need to take things like this to a diy level.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Haizum74:
I've just bought one of these and mine is the same, without ball joint. However if you think that you can fit the n7 in portrait mode then good luck in trying that. Mine is set up exactly like yours and landscape only.

Hello,

I did a factory reset while using KA Rom 21, now I've a bootloop.

I tried to flash my neo, but the usb debugging is not enabled so I can't flash it.

The cache etc. is also whiped, but I've still a bootloop.

Does anybode know what to do now? Can I enable the usb debugging, or something else?

Do I need to install a new kernel?

I'm sorry for my bad English.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] comcraizer:
Just flash another kernel, like the Alliance Kernel mod, which is compatible with KA Rom, and try to restart your phone. If you still get bootloop, just flash the whole .62 rom package via Flashtool to go back to gingerbread and start over the whole progress again.

Hi i've only had one update on my s3 and everyone had like 2-3 one of wich fixed the laucher re-draw... I tried to search for a reason on the forum but I didn't find any.

It's an unbranded i9300

Build number: IMM76D.I9300UBALF3

thanks for the answers !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelofmusic:
It can depend on the country and when your carrier pushes them to their server for update. Or are you rooted with a different Kernel? In that case you will no longer get updates to your phone from the carrier.

If all else fails, meh, don't worry. Just look for an official update release! Use ODIN and flash it to your phone. The country of origin won't matter as long as the rom is for the S3 i9300! I actually find this better.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
If you bought the phone in retail than you'll get the updates directly from Samsung.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blipstein:
So here is my situation. I had the EVO 4g and just got the LTE (loving it BTW. Haven't rooted yet. Gonna wait a little bit). I'm sitting here at work plugged in as USB cleaning up my SD by organizing videos, pics, files, etc... Then, when I went back to the phone, there will still things there that I had deleted or moved. I was totally perplexed. Then it hit me that I partitioned my SD on my previous EVO. When the phone is plugged in as USB I am unable to locate the extension. How do I access the extension that was added?

Any help understanding this is appreciated. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blipstein:
Ok so I downloaded ES File manager and now I can see the ext_sd. But now it seems when I had the phone plugged in as a USB I was actually in the extension the whole time. All the things I did to organize my pics and files were in the extension. Also it seems that the phone is storing new pics and downloads on the extension. Can I undo an extension? I just want to have control of where things are stored and be able to organize them. This partition in really messing with my head...lol. This is a bit confusing for me so any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyboy78:
So are you saying you can't see the partition you made on the SD-card? Cuz if you are, that partition is in either ext-2,3 or 4 which Windows cannot see. So you have to use Linux to see ext partitions and move stuff, whatever with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blipstein:
That is correct. Can I undo a partition?

So when I take a picture it stores it on the ext. The gallery displays images and videos that are on both the ext and that are not on the ext.

When I'm in ES File Explorer I can see ext_sd. I can press and hold and it gives me the option to delete. What is going to happen if I delete the partition from ES File Explorer? I do not need it now with the LTE and all the extra memory. I suppose it will just delete everything on the extension but the extension will remain?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gm0n3y:
If you still have your old evo you can use ra recovery to re partition the card. Set swap and ext to 0 mb. This should restore the entire sd card to its full fat32 size.

Edit: this will format your sd card so have a backup of data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blipstein:
Unfortunately I turned in for $60 :(

What if I do a full SD back up on my Mac then format the SD card in the phone....then drag everything back on to the card?

Is "erase storage card" the same as formatting the card?

After I erased the card I went into ES File Manager and I can still see ext_sd. There are still file names on the card it seems but they all appear to be empty.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blipstein:
Yea....unfortunately it is for windows. It's 16GB card.

The "erase all data" did not eliminate the ext (I can see it in ES File Explorer). The phone stores new camera pics on the ext. It looks like all of the information on the card is in the ext. So when it's plugged into my iMac I am seeing the ext only and thats where I drag it into as I have no choice

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] npgauth:
Hello,

I just installed a Jelly Bean rom (Vicious) on my galaxy nexus and for the most part everything works great. One "feature" that drives me crazy is that enabling any security (PIN, pattern, face unlock) disables the slide to unlock screen. The problem is that I really like the ability to use the camera (by sliding to the right) without having to punch in my PIN code and unlock the phone... Does anyone know if there is a setting or mod that allows for sliding before security?

Thanks much! Nick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Clancy_s:
Try widget locker - it lets you add both sliders to load apps and widgets of your choice to your lock screen, then once you slide-unlock you get to your pattern or pin unlock screen if you have one.

I have a fairly minimal set up but apparently you can do some fancy stuff with it - they have their own user forums.

Available in play store,$2.99.

If you want something free there's a couple of other apps that do something similar although with fewer options (not tried by me).

[Nexus 7 General] xthaox:
Does anyone else have this problem:

When you're just pressing a bit harder than the usual touch, on the top and bottom Left side bezel, it causes the Screen to ripple (fluid wave effect).

Not even pushing down too hard, just a firmer press than usual. This is easy too see on a darker background, like the default background when the device wakes up and still in locked mode.

Yes I realize it's a LCD screen, plus this Corning glass is thinner, and we're not always pressing it that hard to notice anyway.

But the Right side bezel and other areas are mostly fine,

So I'm wondering if it's a defect on my device or not (the left side being too sensitive)? would this cause further problem in the future? And it could be a concern if I carry the Nexus 7 in the backpack and other items pressing on it.

Other reports on this:

http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3125396/google-nexus-7-review

"the display can give a little and cause the LCD to ripple if you really press hard against the screen"

http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-forum/191040-screen-distortion.html

Since I was smart and forgot to unlock my N7 before doing anything, I'm in a bit of a predicament. I don't want to wipe everything off my N7, I have game progress, lot of apps, etc. I looked in the dev forum, but didn't see anything. I just need a root to throw TiBu on there. Not sure if I missed it, misunderstood something, or if I'm boned and just have to deal with lost data or no root. This is my first nexus, and on other devices, there's always been root without wipe. Is that just something effort isn't put into on a nexus since unlock is so easy?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raikia:
As far as I know, no, there isn't a way. To get CWM on the Nexus 7, you have to unlock the bootloader which deletes all user information for security purposes. I made the same mistake, but it didn't take too long to get it back to where it was (I mean, we only got them less than a week ago!).

Bootloader unlock without wipe only comes about via some kind of exploit/hack. Such discoveries are unpredictable.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tocirahl:
Unless you want to do it with AT&T's stock firmware over Kies (which I don't suggest) then you're going to need CWM. Odin/Mobile Odin-ing a custom kernel's the easiest way to install that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
To get a custom kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery, you must flash a GB kernel while you have a GB stock system.

I've never tried this, but you could probably install mobile odin and flash the full ICS firmware of your choice without installing a custom kernel first. I don't see any reason that would not work.
