I'm on my 2nd n7 and i've just noticed that when I press on the screen on the upper right hand side or mid right hand side I hear a creaking noise coming from the case. I think I'm going to have to RMA it. I hate being in a position where I'm hesitant to return my device because I fear the replacement could have a more serious issue.
[Nexus 7 General] CasualStarlord:
Okay just some quick very noticable differences between my C60k and my C70K, I realize now that my C60K has a slight lift on the screen, I hadn't noticed as I had not seen another nexus 7 in person to compare it, the flicker is fixed now, I never realized how much it flickered before I had assumed some of it was just loading flicker when I jumped between apps, I've also noticed this one feels a lot faster in games, I have only ever used the stock rom but this feels better somehow, also wifi signal is easily double what it was on the C60K...

this one (the new C70K) has the Multitouch Grounding issue, but I don't think I care, before I knew it existed I don't remember even attempting to use the tablet without holding it already, as long as it doesn't have the flicker I'm good :D

I have also reconfirmed my utter hatred of MTP, what is wrong with just standard USB mounting, is it so god damned hard? I know why they do it because of the file system used to format the internal SD card and the lack of windows support that the file system has, but seriously just use fat32 or something GRRR

Also, I went through hours of windows driver hell trying to get my tablets to recognize as MTP not ADB, eventually I gave up and went to another computer...

Is anyone else getting Google Local results in miles but directions and Navigation in km (even to a local result in miles)?

It's a PITA.

If you aren't then what are your settings?

I'm using English (UK).
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
I just tried it and I got listings in miles and directions in km. Locale is English (US). On my phone I have English (Australia) and everything is in km.

I don't know of a way to install the English (Australia) locale to the 7, though I haven't looked too hard.
[Nexus 7 General] wjr002:
Thanks for testing.

That's what I think we need - an English (Australia) locale or some way of setting units and ensuring apps read that setting.

Oddly, I also get the £ symbol as the default currency symbol with swiftkey but only on my Nexus 7. This seems to be a common complaint in the SwiftKey support forum.

Seems regional testing hasn't been done too well with JB on the Nexus or we are missing something.
[Nexus 7 General] t_007_v2:
Stoked for all on this thread. Cheers
[Nexus 7 General] BillGoss:
I take it that you have this problem even though you've set the default language to English(Australia) in settings/language?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
There is no English (Australia) option on my 7.
[Nexus 7 General] poondog:
Looking in the right place?

Is this what you're talking about? I am on AOKP nightlies 29 Aug

Australia is there :)
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
I'm on stock and the option isn't there.
[Nexus 7 General] wjr002:
Ditton. No option in stock rom.

Which raises the question if other languages can be downloaded? I can't even find Spanish on the list.
[Nexus 7 General] loopism:
Spanish is there - two options in fact (Espana - Estados Unidos and Espanol - Espana)
[Nexus 7 General] wjr002:
Thanks. Found those. Was looking under S - lol.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Did anyone ever find a resolution for this? I've got the same problem on my stock nexus 7 - even on 4.2
[Nexus 7 General] wjr002:
No. Am on 4.2 and can't see any option. I thought they were supposed to have some new control centre to change this but I can't find it.
[Nexus 7 General] Milamber33:
There's an app on the play store called MoreLocale, which adds in any extra locales you want.
[Nexus 7 General] wjr002:
Thanks. I just tried it and it crashes.
[Nexus 7 General] Milamber33:
Okay, it's worked on previous versions, so it must just be one of those apps that needs an update for 4.2. Report it to the dev and I'm sure it will get fixed up.

I noticed on the play store there's a bunch of similar apps, not sure if any of them will work or if they're all in the same boat.

[Nexus 7 General] colin.jones:
Unfortunately, no, it's another one of those things that Google had locked down on! With 4.2 you can no longer set the locale data. Presumably unless rooted, it doesn't look like it's just a new permission. The app dev has noted an update that sets the maxapilevel to 16.

I really don't understand Google's behaviour here, it is incredibly inconvenient getting the keyboard/currency/spelling/units right without the locale. There are plenty of localised stock ROMs that include en-AU for nexus phones. And I cannot accept that it takes much space, so why not consolidate every one in to a single list and include it for all ROMs? But actively removing the permissions to correct the situation, and not including en-AU, AND selling the device directly in Australia is just perverse!!!
[Nexus 7 General] wjr002:
Agree.

SwiftKey is another app that uses the locale and you get a £ key in the main keyboard and need to go hunting for the $ symbol.

Odd how Maps gets km right but Local doesn't.

Picked up 32gig 3G model from The Good Guys yesterday. All good. Got a $9.90 AmaySim in it.
[Nexus 7 General] woofycub:
I got mine from the good guys too on wed 19th. They only had 3 of the 3G models and we about to put out an apology notice saying that they were not getting any more from Asus until late January as there was a delay from the manufacturer.

Anyhow I got it for less than the catalog price and put my Sim in it. Works great, I got SMS working on it and stuck a rare earth magnet on the nexus case to make it a smart cover thanks to other forum posts.
[Nexus 7 General] zziggy:
I just tried this with 2 different r/e magnets I had. Settled for one about the size of a 5c. Too strong though. When I fold the case behind it also turns off the tablet. The smaller magnet didn't do anything. I need something inbetween! :)

Nexus 7 32GB 3G

My phone (Gaaxy Note I) and old tablet (HP TouchPad with CM) got fried due to a faulty power board :(

I picked up a 32GB 3G Nexus 7 from JB on Boxing Day along with a Telstra SIM.

GoSMS Pro gives me the ability to send and receive SMS.

I have Internode's NodePhone VoIP at home - downloaded a SIP client (CSipSimple) from the play store, punched in my NodePhone details and I can now make and receive calls using my home VoIP phone number over WiFi or 3G.

Now I just need headphones with a mic for calls so everything isn't on speaker! I have a BT headset (Philips SHB9100 that's great for music) with built-in mic, but the mic isn't that good and people are having trouble hearing me although I can hear them. Any recommendations that aren't bud or in-ear units?
[Nexus 7 General] xdatastic:
Sound Search For Google Play widget just appeared on my Aussie Nexus 7 (stock, unrooted) after I rebooted today. It's version 1.1.3 and seems to work ok. It won't update to 1.1.8 on Google Play Store though saying it's not available in my country.

Has anyone else noticed this?

[HTC One X] arabology:
So my one x screen broke and I had to change the entire LCD plus digitizer.

But, after I took my phone from the repair shop, I realized that the LCD is not dim black like before. It's just Grey like on the sensation that I have...

I called the repair shop and they said it's okay and the quality of the screen is just like before, while I think the complete opposite.

I think it's a cheap fake LCD and that it's not even an LCD 2!! How can I know? :/
[HTC One X] jacobgong:
take a picture of it?
[HTC One X] ste1164:
Probably better to get htc to look at it as they have official parts even if it does cost more. It will probably be a 3rd party lower quality screen.
[HTC One X] arabology:
I'm taking this damn screen back and ask for a refund. Thanks guys.
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
MAN take pics of it before please!

We wanna see it :)
[HTC One X] arabology:
Sorry but i didn't take a picture of it as i hated it so much :P

but i found a thread here having the same problem as mine, the picture there is just like the screen i got. and it does the spot on screen as well.

it was a total piece of ****. i payed $150 for it.

btw, my one X is still in pieces because i couldn't find a genuine screen yet.

emergency calls? dialing doesn't work?i bet dialling does, the problem is probably call from the lockscreen. like if u never made an emergency call from the lockscreen or anywhere other than the dialer. that regulation is ridiculous, just like the political parties, no offence (to the regulation).

It actually does turn counterclockwise but not the toilet. Cause over there their toilet doesn't flush in a circular motion, they flush straight down. Amazing...and they have huge rabbits Oh wait...they are kangourou's and on top of that they get OTA before us !!

[Motorola Atrix 2] qtqt710:
I successfully flashed to att ICS using Jim's method. Then I decided to roll back to 2.3.6 and used Jim's ICS back to 2.3.5 fxz fix zip file. The RSD stopped at 5/19 reboot bootloader for a long time and the screen was off. I hit the power button trying to turn on the screen without thinking. Then I realized that I was flashing! It was too late and I saw FAILED on RSD. My A2 cant turn on anymore. I did not unplug or pull the battery. Any help would be appreciate!
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
DId you replace ALL of the files and then point the RSD to the xml?
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2:
Can you boot into fastboot by holding power button and vol down.If can you just reflash it using rsd lite.Tell me more detail about your atrix 2 current rom and which version of rom you are flash with rsdlite.
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
Exact same problem has occurred to me as well.

I did replaced the files Jim created to FXZ back to 2.3.6 from ICS

My Battery was fully charged at the time of flashing. Flashing stopped at 5/19 reboot bootloader for 15 mins then tried rebooting it manually but it didn't started.

Now I've tried everything but it is not even starting in Fastboot

Please help me with this, I don't want to start any new thread so posted my problem here.

EDIT: I think this is a common problem as the OP here also have the same problem

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781045

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1700775

I only flashed ICS when Jim confirmed that it was possible to revert back to 2..3.5

I think there is a problem in reverting back to 2.3.5 once applied ICS update and people should be aware of that.

Everyone should stop flashing ICS leaks otherwise they might end up bricking their phone forever.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vinamilk:
100% same to me.

Up to ICS ok, back to Fxz with RSD and stuck at 5/19 reboot-bootloader step, I disconnected cable and phone black forever.

A lot of people they failed when flash with RSD but no problem, just take battery out and return, boot again to fastboot to re-flash. I think wrong file in Fxz not makes this problem, main cause I still don't know ! Maybe we are unlucky man ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
FXZ is not wrong one as I did used it when I had to flash back to stock from lithium Rom last week. I think phone is dead because it is not even booting into fastboot.. I've tried even booting to our stock recovery by pressing 3 buttons but no luck so far.

Its just very bad few hours back I was running ICS and now my phone is not even booting up.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
OMG man!! I should have make a thread about this yesterday, but maybe nobody would of paid attention. I didn't really want this to happen to anyone, when flashing from 4.0.4 back to 2.3.5 it will get stuck at 5/20, something like that saying "rebooting loader". Now my phone with a blackscreen is getting hot when I insert the battery and when I plug it without a battery into my laptop or wallcharger and I dont have warranty. I call it white LED of death, when I plug it in to my laptop without a battery hehe :P, so I guess i'll be paying maybe 200$ dollar for it to be repaired, well if they repair it though, they charge so much here.. But i'm still trying to look what I can do, before I take it to a repair shop.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vinamilk:
I heard about this problem when leak ICS for China/HK market 1 month ago, from xda man, and Jim he warned everybody here take care when coming back GB from ICS leak should make your phone bricked.

Now ATT ICS leak was released and all trusted Devs here confirmed that we can turn back to GB without problem, so I thought that it was safe to do with. Next day Jim posted new thread with new patch file. So sad ... I'm too late, we're too late ...
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
I didn't even flashed ICS leak first day, I did it second day when Jim confirmed and uploaded a link for new replace files.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vinamilk:
So this is the point that I'm very confused, I think that even failed flashing phone still powered on normally : wrong boot.img --> just jamed at boot logo, wrong bootloader --> screen turn on and shows errors; need to be flashed again by RSD or script. Some man here even not flashed anything, just root then reboot and phone dead without any reason.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
I guess it has something to do with our bootloader, maybe it's stuck or not even working.
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
I just talked to a Motorola service person he was saying in some rare cases a inbuilt ROM(read only memory) chip which stores bootloader files gets corrupted and in that case it might not even be possible to boot into fastboot.

I don't know how far he is right but one ting we are sure that our hardware was perfectly ok before flashing FXZ.

For me I even made sure that my battery was fully charged before starting FXZ.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
Same here I had like 90% battery or more, is you're phone becoming hot? When you plug it in or insert the battery?
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
yes its getting heated when connected to a wall socket or on a battery.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Did anyone upgrade RSDlite to 5.7 before trying this by any chace?

That might be an issue.

Also, this could be something that was introduced to later model phones. My a2 was able to fxz back, but it ws made in SEPT 2011. Just another thought.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
Hahaha, what should we do? Yesterday I felt like throwing my phone into the wall man and just %$#@ Motorola, this is like the biggest failure ever!! Hard bricked without doing something wrong.. Wish I could go back in time sometimes and I don't even have warranty which sucks, what are you gonna do?

Really hard to hard brick? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28324515&postcount=10

We hard bricked so easy..
[Motorola Atrix 2] prasannapmv:
I was already using RSD 5.7
[Motorola Atrix 2] qtqt710:
I did not. It is 5.6. That may be the reason. I got my A2 from att in Nov 2011, so I guess it is the same earlier version, right?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
To those with the issue, can you not get back into ap fast boot? Either hold both volume buttons down with power, then select it from the menu, or i have found that holding up with power will boot you right into fastboot.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nope they can not even power on anymore. This is what we all feared. The hk leak had this same thing in it...

Looks like moto will be warrantying a bunch of phones.

I am just not sure why I can still do it...

We have had way too many of these now for it to be user error or an accident.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
I don't what I can do, because I bought this phone in USA and I live in Aruba. Do you think I can do something like send it to motorola or anything? Is it free or something?

I chatted yesterday with a guy from Motorola, I did what you told me to do, but he was like "We don't have that on your island and I asked him what can I do and he just told me that thing about holding the buttons, but didn't work, I think he didn't understand me well.

Here is something you can do yourself order this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Parts-Repai...-Main-Logic-Motherboard-Reboots-/110907508320

and change it and viola I guess!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Did you try and "chat" with a support person online, rather than call in? Sometimes typing in English with someone makes it easier for a support person to maybe be able to help you, especially when English is not your first language. I have traveled around the world for my job, and I had a cell phone go bad, and I was able to get a vendor (I won't say which one here) to send me a replacement in the country I was in at the time, since it was a business trip I was on for 4 months, to complete a data center build out over seas. So, I know it is possible for a company to do that for you, but you might need an address that is in a country that they do support, just so they can say that you are in a "supported" country.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
Maybe we can just order an motherboard and just change it ourselfs.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

I chatted with an English support person and like after I explained everything, he sended me to another person that speaks spanish, because I don't live in the English support region. The spanish one only told me to press the buttons but nothing worked. I also told him what could I do like send it to somewhere else and he told me, that they have no support in my island and that I will have to take it to a technician which sucks because they are not gonna do it for free..
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
If you are technically able, I would buy a motherboard and put it in yourself, someone linked to one on ebay that they say is rebooting, but I doubt that means anything, probably was a software problem.

I know it's not free, but it is cheaper.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
I tried looking for a lot of website, but couldnt find any Atrix 2 motherboards.. Maybe it's not a famous phone? Hate to say that..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Zoide_:
How can we tell when our phone was made?

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I found out why I can fxz back... I have the dev fuse thrown. I am thinking I did it with one of my attempts to crack the bootloader, but I am not sure.

You can tell when you phone was made, by the sticker under the battery, it has a date on it. mine says manufactured 20110909 and then is has another sticker that says it was refurbished on 20111106.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vinamilk:
A lot of people here do not understand the problem : PHONE CAN NOT BE TURNED ON (so cannot use Power + Vol up + Vol down to go to fastboot), very different to hang boot logo (still go to fastboot by combination of 3 buttons above)

Jim, mine was flashed 2 times with RSD 5.7 :

- The first time for come back stock 2.3.5 from Indian version (by Cogeary) then up to ICS successfully. I tried overwrite 2 file SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk (by alteredlikeness from here) but phone rebooted and stuck at boot logo (Rethink possible slogan). At this time phone stills alive.

- The 2nd time for come back GB again from messy ICS above. I took and re-insert battery, booted to fastboot OK and used RSD with same file at 1st flashing. Phone dead at 5/19 step showed on RSD.

Don't know the main reason but phone dead in random case :

- Mine and some man in during flashing procedure.

- Others is just root and reboot etc...

There is a man in my country said that he can save our dead A2 by trying to tear down phone, pull out test points, does JTAG procedure by Box, same way as successful with Atrix 1 and RARZ he did, but he lives far away frome me so I have to thinking...
[Motorola Atrix 2] ITzRicardo94:
Can you try talking to that man? He can save my phone maybe, cause I have no warranty!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] qtqt710:
Jim, is there anyone else who can fxz back? If no, I guess you have done some mod before that. I am not a dev, just a thought.

I thought that was for the battery, no?
[Motorola Atrix 2] vinamilk:
Talked to him for 15 mins, he said that : with A1 and RARZ are ok by using JTAG, done with many phones. But not try any A2 before.
