You need nothing more than to swipe apps away when you're done with them in the multitasking window, which doubles as a task manager of sorts.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Again, why even bother? The OS handles this just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LocoTSX:
Although, that doesn't necessarily "kill" background apps. There is a box in "developer settings" that, if you check it, will kill any application after using it. I haven't tried it out but it may just work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I'm pretty sure that's as bad as using a task killer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
even cyanogenmod has a kill app button, i dont think it does anything to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
IMO the only useful reasons to kill a background app are if it's wasting your battery, bandwidth, or it's some kind of logger. In those cases you're better off just uninstalling it. Android is designed to keep things in memory to save start-up time and related battery drain, and so you have the benefit of the task-selector button. It knows when to clear enough memory to keep your foreground app and you happy. Task killers are holdovers from the days when they were useful.

I learned a long time ago that in Android/Linux free RAM is wasted RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
Ics/jb does not need app killers if you press the recent app key and swype it left or right the app gets killed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeyMike01:
No, not really. And if it were "bad" they wouldn't put it into Android. You should swipe them away when you're done with them.

There's nothing bad about closing apps you're done with.

What's bad is the auto task killers.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No it really does nothing positive to swipe apps away when you're done with them. As the poster a couple above me said, free RAM is wasted RAM. The OS will keep everything in order. You're unnecessarily micromanaging your apps when you swipe them away. Your phone just works harder and for longer re-opening apps over and over again when you kill them manually.

Your RAM is powered and draining battery whether its full of apps or not. It's in your best interest to let the OS fill up your RAM (all the way up to about 90% full) and let it kill things as necessary when you load an app that needs more than is available. The OS will handle it. I know everyone has it engrained in their minds from using Windows for so long to keep as much RAM free as possible, but its just not the case in Android anymore.

Friend says he tried to root his g2x, now it's running 2.2.2 (which is a verison of andriod i'm not familiar with) and he has no signal and is unable to connect to any wireless network.

Also, when i search for networks, it pops up with both tmobile and att, but, as far as i know, the phone is not network unlocked.

Any ideas or suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Is he running a p990 rom on a p999 or vise versa? That would cause some issues...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] juny51:
He just has to make sure he's running the from for the right phone. If he's running a 2x rom on a g2x that can cause problems. Also might be a baseband issue? Not sure on that one as I never even bothered with 2.2.2 or don't know if they have 2.2.2 roms lol

Please go to Settings > About Phone and report back the following for us:

If this is too confusing I can send a picture or the settings screen.

That baseband is the March 2012 baseband. He needs to have 2.3.4 or another rom that supports the new baseband. Try loading up the newest cm7 and see what happens.

Hi Everyone,

I want to root my Nexus 7.

1- Is there a way to root without wiping the current data and anyway to "un-root" for warranty proposes?

2- Are there multiple methods of rooting? Which is the best?

Thanks a lot
[Nexus 7 General] jmrog:
I'm not an expert on this, but from what I've read you can't root without unlocking the boot loaders - that's the part that requires wiping the current data. Yes, you can un-root and re-lock for warranty purposes.

There are definitely multiple methods, but I think the easiest way is to make use of the toolkit from this thread:

[General Questions and Answers] j sta:
Hello all, I work at a laptop/pc repair shop. We want to add to our services phone unlocking. One important thing is to make sure it is done at a professional level, without relocks after update (like many free iphone unlocking soft cause). for my own phone, for exmple, for Sony Ercsson or Samsung, I would use Wotan, but is this the way to go at a shop level? Would I have a separatepiece of soft for each brand, or do I strike a deal with each operator? We want to do as wide a range of phones as possible, and if it comes down to purchasing credits or so, we would be prepared for bulk. I would appreciate any bit of serious advise. Thanks mates.

So I know a guy that just done that and he didn´t needed to sign papers and such with the operators...........he buyed this box here: http://www.unlockitnow.com/products/product_info.php?pName=universal-unlock-box-ultra

Dont get me wrong he isnt rich or such but now he works like one year and he got 6x times more money back and anyone is happy :)

[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
That is probably just from the camera moving while taking the picture. I've seen at least one other user with a screen that bad. So it may be real.

Mine was looked white and faded at first, however nothing remotely that bad. After about 3 days it seemed to get better. Though it seems most times when I play a video it gets white and faded again, but goes away a few seconds after leaving the video app.

But something that bad, I'm not sure if that'll look normal after a few days or not.

I wonder what would happen if you play a video, like the Transformers movie. My screen gets worse after playing videos, but then clears up (though never really looks completely good).
[Nexus 7 General] ndeer44:
Same thing happens regardless of what im doing. After like 5 minutes of staying on it will only half as bad, but whenever i turn the screen off for more than 2 minutes it goes back to this
[Nexus 7 General] Envain:
So same thing just started affecting me today. First let me start out that I've had 0 issues until today. Went to try one of the root kits and got my N7 rooted updated SU and restarted now its washed out just like whats shown by OP. Could be coincidence who knows. Is this a common defect that takes time to occur?
[Nexus 7 General] agtitan:
I bought mine on Monday from office depot. It was great until Thursday morning when it started this exact problem. I'm going back to office depot to exchange it tomorrow. My mom bought one from the Google play store and she hasn't had any of these problems.

That is defective. Exchange it.
[Nexus 7 General] lawguy:
Same problem here. It was fine since I got it and now the screen is all washed out.
[Nexus 7 General] jadecolour:
search for the thread of "screen burn in + washed out", you will find more information on RMA there. I had the same issue and received my replacement in 4 days. the left side of the screen is still a bit lifted on the new one, but that is nothing compared to white out screen.
[Nexus 7 General] RestlessDroid:
My first N7 did the same thing after three days. Called Google and got a warranty replacement, which hasn't had the issue (knock on wood). Just take or send it back.
[Nexus 7 General] lawguy:
Yeah. I got my new one yesterday. The exchange process is painless.

I have to admit that I am afraid that it may happen again because it is something experienced by other people too and it may be a defect, either a batch of bad components or (I hope not) a design problem like the Xbox and the RROD.
[Nexus 7 General] smt8544:
I had EXACTLY the same problem as you and a replacement fixed it :)
[Nexus 7 General] bleddynn2150:
The same thing has happened to me after I left my tablet under the seat of my car for a couple of hours. I live in Texas, so that's rather considerable. I'm figuring that the LCD cells overheated and the crystal inside had changed their structure or something. To fix it I put it in the freezer for a couple of hours with the power off. For the most part this has corrected the problem. It's still brighter when I turn on the screen but after it has been given time to settle out, the blacks go back to the way they should except the edges and the corners, which retain a little bit of color fadeout.
[Nexus 7 General] GldRush98:
Your first post here and you bump a year old thread with a barely related issue? Nice.
[Nexus 7 General] dawnknits:
Any fix beyond replace?

I know this is an old thread, unfortunately the only advice is to get a return. I'm out of warranty on my Nexus 10, so this problem is a $107 repair with Samsung. I could get a new screen and do it myself, but I'm not sure the screen is the problem. Has anyone fixed this issue without just getting a replacement?

I love nexus 10, but I'm not sure I should invest in it since it is 18 months old. It is still a great tablet, but the hardware is rapidly aging againist the maket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
Ok, I am a little bit ticked off right now.

I had a Nexus One. When I bought the N1 dock, it came very nicely packaged and with its own power cable AND audio cable. Its cost felt justified.

So, since I got my Galaxy Nexus I decided to order the dock for it.

I just got the dock (after waiting a week when it was 2 day shipping), I open the package and I pull out the cheapest flimsiest packaging ever. I pull out the dock (which does feel solid), and THAT'S IT! There is NO power cable and NO audio cable included. $68.xx for a freaking dock with NO cables.

I seriously feel like I've been ripped-the-****-off here.

I know their site says no audio cable included... so whatever, but to not include the charger either... that's pretty damn ****ty in my opinion.

I just thought I would vent here since I had not seen this mentioned any where else before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Taco991:
Damn. At least throw in a cable!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pandaSmore:
Definitely! At least the car dock came with a lighter socket charger. I guess Samsung though it wasn't necessary/wanted to cheap out since we already have one from our phones. I'm more irritated by the fact that there's no way to manually turn off the screen when docked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wmdnc1990:
I thought the same thing when I opened my dock... I also had the nexus one and the dock... At least we got a second charger with that...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakeisouttolunch:
At least you can seek solace in the fact that the LTE dock is, for all intensive purposes, the same exact dock... for $90 and there still aren't any cables included. I actually bought the GSM dock for mine and sanded it down to fit my more portly LTE version because the price difference is bollocks in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GldRush98:
Wow, Samsung/Google is being a little greed with the accessories :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakeisouttolunch:
I really want to think it's at least not Google since they don't sell it on the Play store haha, just good old sammy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uansari1:
Correction..."Intents and purposes".

With that out of the way..you guys are lucky you can at least get the dock..I'm having a hell of a time finding one here in Pakistan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdh007:
Just order it online. This was the cheapest place I've found since they offer $3.50 shipping and no VAT (tax).

http://www.mobilefun.com/33498-samsung-desk-stand-for-galaxy-nexus---edd-d1f2begstd.htm

I got it 6 business days after I ordered (Canada).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chuckdz3:
Is that for the GSM variant or the LTE? I couldn't find out which one on the webpage. So I was wondering which version you had for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdh007:
Its for the GSM variant.

I used to think apple was crazy to charge $40 for a dock and fail to include a power cable with it. Samsung takes the cake

[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
That's why. Flash the Jb hboot or else things will go wrong like that
[HTC Rezound] Talguy:
I think I have solved the problem. I still haven't flashed JB HBoot but I was on a patched GB firmware and was using amon ra 3.14. Flashed the RUU 3.14.605.5 twice to upgrade the firmware to ICS. Then I flashed amon ra 3.15 on and saw none of the problems that I was experiencing before.

Do you still think it would be a good idea to flash jb hboot onto my phone and is there any benefit to doing it? I just copy the jb hboot to my sd card and rename it PH98IMG.zip right?
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
I think the main reason to have the jb hboot is so that you can use the complete complement of fastboot commands. For example, with stock hboot you are not able to flash a recovery using fastboot (you need a ph98img.zip to flahs it) whereas with jb hboot, you could use the command. You might want to view this if you haven't already.

My tablet is acting up on me again. After happy days of back to back uptime, charging it turned on, over a hundred hours up, all of a sudden it stopped working again.

Now I am considering reflashing my tablet. maybe stock .24 then OTA to .27, ARHD 3.5.0, just to try the latest and see if it works for me.

BUT, seems that CWM backups do NOT backup the sdcard data, like my savegames and stuff like that.

And my tablet reboots 30 seconds or so after the boot, so I cannot use Titanium Backup.
