[Nexus 7 General] andTab:
Not many so far, though I am sure people who have had the device longer can point out some more/

Most of these are more "WTF what were they thinking", except for the car charger which is very, very annoying:

1. USB cable goes in upside down

2. Either this device is very nit-picky or very power hungry: my USB car charger, which has no problem charging any device that I have thrown at it (probably have charged 10+ different phones models plus 3+ different android tablet models), does not charge the N7.

3. Stock android is disappointing compared to CM10 on my Kindle Fire (even though CM10 is in alpha/beta)

4. Chrome browser sucks without the thumb menu of the previous stock browser
[Nexus 7 General] nickbizzle:
I believe that the charger is not powerful enough. Take the galaxy s2 charger for example. It's rated at 5v 0.7amps. The nexus charger is 5v 2amps. I think that will be the issue.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
An annoyance from me is the voice typing. I can say "I want some ice cream so I went to the store." and it comes out "Hi this is awesome so I went 2 va store."

I can see "I" and "Hi" sounding similar. But "i want some ice cream" sounds like "this is awesome" ? and "to" is "2" ? (i get the same thing for 'for' I'll get 4.) and va and the?

I know it's not perfect but still...
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
More like Nexus 7 Nitpicks

Based on who's specification? Not aware of any specification which defines the position of the port rather than the actual port itself.

The tablet requires 5Vdc/2A to properly charge. Have you checked the output of your adapter? Most car adapters don't.

Are you serious? One of the points of getting a Nexus device is that you can UNLOCK it and play.... which includes adding CM10 or anything else you can figure out how to load onto it.

In some forums, you have people begging for plain ASOP... funny to see someone complaining the other way...
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
Even though I'm coming from iOS and I'm kind of scared to root and what not, this is one of the things that appeals to me--the idea of rooting, unlocking and toying around. Again, very scared to do it but it sounds like fun.

I also do find it a little odd, but awesome, that they'd put what is essentially their developers toy as a public, mainstream toy.
[Nexus 7 General] Eagle1337:
If it were the wrong way only the included cable would work......

2. That's probably because the car charger only does 1amp.. heck my wall charger i use for my phone does .7 amps.

3. Never thought I'd read that one.. I'm quite happy with my stock rom, no bloat, no stupid UI, just plan nature Android.

Rooting's pretty simple and if it borks there's 99% chance of recovery.
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
Same phrase worked perfect for me first time.
[Nexus 7 General] photon4glover:
Regarding last sentence welcome to The Pure Google Experience!
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
See, for me in Pittsburgh PA, there are things i'll say I'll get "this is awesome" or "i love this". Like when I said "off of" together I get "love this." I could even off or of and i just get a v.

It could be me and my inflections. For the most part it does a wonderful job, but there are words or phrases that I use and it does something out of this world.
[Nexus 7 General] I Am Marino:
That's the thing, it works perfectly fine without modifying it but those of us who can do it, we can tinker all we want.

Rooting and such is a required thing for me now on any Android phone or device, go for it.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
Oh I totally get it! It's the classic "some people just want to watch the world burn", only it's "some people just want to use THEIR device as THEY want." Which is one of the reasons I moved from iOS to Android.

I think I will root it some day. Is it easy to do from Linux? I run full Linux Mint now. I don't have a single Apple or Windows device in my house anymore :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] leebo:
It works great for me. In fact I'm replying using it right now. I believe that trick is to speak very slowly, almost like a robot. I do not dictate to it the same way I would speak to a person. Try to speak into it the same way google maps gps navigation speaks to you.

I only had to make 1 correction in this reply.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
That's some great advice. I will go much slower from now on. I've just noticed I could say "that" and get "bat" or something, it just gave me a word that sounded similar to what I wanted. I'll give your advice a try though.
[Nexus 7 General] jonnyg1097:
I think (and I could be wrong with this) that with Jelly Bean it tries to understand your voice so it knows what you are saying to it better. So the first few times you go through with saying some words it wont understand what you were trying to say.

I remember when I was talking into my phone I must of said "Toronto Blue Jays" for a good 2 minutes straight because it was giving me weird results for it. So I think once it recognizes your voice and how you say some words it will give you better results.
[Nexus 7 General] loug002:
I know I say there for a good 3-4 minutes just saying "that" *delete* "that" *delete* until I just gave up and typed it.
[Nexus 7 General] Centromere:
1. Sure.

2. I am having the same problem as well. It wont charge unless i plug it into the wall. (but battery life is ****ing awesome though)

3. Really? maybe my view of a good OS is different from yours. CM 10 is great and fast but not stable. Stock has been solid like a rock for me.

4. If you are talking about flashing roms, you can just go flash the stock browser lol. Also chrome does stuff that the stock browser doesnt do. (tabs sharing is ****ing awesome)
[Nexus 7 General] qnet:
The only problem I have had is the gps sometime continuously searches and drains the battery. I usually just restart the tablet and that fixes it. It's only happened twice so far.

When this happened, this is when the cable I was using didn't charge. Other than that every cable I've used has charged it.
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
The only problem I have is that my power button doesn't have much resistance and feels weak, but I think it is supposed to be that way. :P
[Nexus 7 General] Dr.Paul:
I miss a notification light. How much more would that have cost?
[Nexus 7 General] squbel:
1) lack of notification LED.

2) location of power button - to close to volume rocker, should be on top right rather than on side.

3) no screen rotation in stock launcher.

Otherwise, I just f... love it
[Nexus 7 General] big samm:
The famous screen brightness flickering... Yes a led light would of been perfect.

[Nexus 7 General] Rovman:
I don't know if its in the specification, but i'm sure it probably is. Go look on literally any USB cable you have, and you will find the cable should be orientated so the USB logo on the cable jack faces "up" on a horizontal port, or "facing you" on a vertical port.

Saying that, the N7 cable does fall into this specification, so i'm not sure what the OP's problem is.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Sean-El:
Thank you so much for your work JK. I know it says Galaxy Nexus CDMA but just to make sure, Sprint version is safe as well? It worked flawlessly on my Nexus S 4G but I am just being careful.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
Yes, Galaxy Nexus CDMA covers both Verizon and Sprint. I'm tempted to attribute this great feat toGoogle, but either way appreciate one device being released on different carriers with a consistent software structure.

As a quick FYI, this is the Nexus 7 thread, not the Galaxy Nexus thread,. Attempt to keep these threads separate as support issues are very device specific.

Definitely appreciate the support and feedback!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Sean-El:
It worked. Sorry about that JK, I typed in Galaxy Nexus and did not see that it said Nexus 7. Thank you for your reesponse.

I know this application isn't compatible with my phone, but I was wondering if you were Looking into supporting Huawei Ascend II? I have it on my phone and it works to an extent.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
I'm always interested in adding more devices. Need a knowledgeable tester who is familiar with ADB and has their device unlocked (if applicable).

If you think you fit this criteria, send me a PM and we can setup a time to meet and test in real time.

Thanks for the support!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MRabon:
If you think you could help me with unlocking my device, I would definitely be up for testing with you. I'm using a Huawei M865C (Ascend 2). And I have been working on it for a while now. You can PM me if you have any suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Doesn't seem to work trying to flash a kernel on my N7 I select boot IMG and I get this

View attachment 1305566
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
I'm open to feedback on this and have a feeling I might implement a patch.

If you flash the kernel without also flashing/loading the modules, such as WiFi, WiFi will break and not operate properly. Since this happens to many beginners, in order to stop them from causing this issue and then blaming Flash Image GUI for their WiFi not working properly, I don't allow *only* the boot.img file to be loaded.

Of course, for users who are more familar with the process, this is a limitation. As always, this is one of those trade offs.

As a fix to resolve the issue, I'm considering adding support to flash a boot.img, only provide a warning to the user that if they don't also load the associate modules, module dependent activities, such as WiFi might not work.

What do you think?

Thanks for the feedback!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
Nice work but I'll stick with my touch CWM for now until this is tested more. I like and don't like the needed module loading rule you have. Just flash the zip like CWM.

Now mobile Odin type of tools and ability would be sweet.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
Added in support for flashing boot.img files in the latest version, 1.4.5. Just uploaded/posted/release.

Only caveat, the file has to be named exactly boot.img and I added a warning dialog all in order to help prevent beginners from making mistakes.

I tested the patch on my Nexus 7 and was able to flash franco's kernel without any issues.

Thanks for the suggestion and the support! Let me know if you have any questions/issues.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
Now that is handy... thanks!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] CharliesTheMan:
I've been trying to remember the name of this app, thank you. And the reason was because I wanted. Flash boot.IMG files.

Confirmed, works with nexus 7 on paranoid android whenI tried to install Franco kernel r23. Thanks much for a simple and effective way to get the kernel i want on a new rom beforeI restore my apps with titanium!

Hello,

Any chance of flashing bootloader image?

Cheers

Haven't seen any information on how this is accomplished on the Nexus 7. If you have information on the technical process behind flashing a bootloader image for the Nexus 7, please do share and I'll research adding support!

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/02/21/3u4uhe2a.jpg
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
Thanks for the positive feedback. When referring to bootloader flashing, are you referring to flashing the actual hboot .img file or flashing a .zip file through the bootloader?

Appreciate the suggestion and want to narrow down the possibilities to further research. If you have any more technical details on the process, please do share with links! Thanks again!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Sun0fNothing:
When I'm using the standard Facebook Messenger, my battery drains very quickly, presumably because the app has a white theme and uses a lot of screen power. Does anyone know if there is a version of the app with a black background that would save me some battery?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] sickblutahoe:
I think your looking for inverted apps or a dark theme..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Sun0fNothing:
Inverted app sounds like it'd do the trick, although I'm not sure what that is. A dark theme probably wouldn't theme that app though.

Hey all

I just got a xoom from Craig list for 100...any advice?

I threw the newest eos nightly onto it and oced to 1500. Any other thoughts / recommendations?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStickMan:
.. My advice is to read the first two pages of each sub forum, and the stickies. You obviously have no idea what you're doing, and vague threads like this lead nowhere.

I'm not trying to be rude, but there are forum rules and stickies for a reason. If you read them all and still have a specific issue, use the search. If ou find nothing, make a thread and XDA will be more than happy to help.

Ii think u already did the most important. Tweaking is all done, and i also would recommend Team EOS nightlies. Just enjoy your device! For apps and games u have to go and search yourself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lilxdavidx:
how do i access htc evo 4g lte internal storage without root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dawgz:
You can try any of the file managers in the play store. Like Solid Explorer beta2 or ES File Explorer etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fgr:
If you want to access it from your computer, choose "Media sync" instead of "Disk Drive" when it connects.

Phone and card will show up in windows explorer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
TWRP recovery's mount internal also works!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
I was relieved to find that using media sync (aka MTP) allowed hidden files and directories to still show up on the computer. Samsung's MTP does not and I therefore cannot back up everything. I only wish MTP would show up as a disk drive so I could use tools like SyncToy, but I understand that defeats the whole purpose of not needing the SD card mounted. So I'll live.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] everymosquito:
I know there are many thread on this, ive read them all and tried all the suggestions. I also know how much folks love people like me resurrecting old threads; so i didnt... here is my problem in short:

VZW (toro) Galaxy Nexus that wont boot into any available Jelly Bean rom. Ive tried all ROM, Kernel, Radio, Bootloader and Recovery combinations i can get my hands on. Formatting 2 times, 3 times; dirty flashing, flashing 3 times each with a recovery reboot between. Formatting before and after install. Left battery and sim out for 10 minutes. Ive fastboot factory reverted more times than i care to count and recently, out of desperation, even found an old 4.0.2 ODIN image to flash (couldnt find a .pit to reformat with) before flashing JB. No dice... No matter what i do, no matter how long i wait (hours), no matter how many times i wipe data and cache it just will not boot into Jelly. Ive never had the "stuck on google logo" problem, but im grow tired of watching that glowing x taunt me on my screen. ICS boots great, btw.

I flashed one of the first leaked JB roms (from a maguro nanrdoid) that was ported to the toro and, like others, after 1 reboot i lost it and had to restore my ICS install. After that ive been unable to install JB on this gnex. Ive read posts all over the usual forums and ive tried everything i can find. It seems either most people have either solved their bootloop issues or have just stopped talking about it until "someone smarter than me" figures it out. Of which im willing do; but im hoping that there is some small detail, some fastboot erase command or something that ive missed. It seems so strange and so repetitive that i cant help but think im just missing something!

Has anyone had any breakthrough here they could share? I would LOVE to rock the jelly bean, but i feel very stuck at the moment :confused:

You are not alone in this jb rom boot loop issue.like I said in other forum seems like we need to have a bounty for this to make our wise dev. to help us.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rugged96:
Hey Guys

I don't want to offend anyone especially the DEVs but I consider the N7 to be on the bleeding edge, what value does a custom ROM have. Again, I'm used to the world of the HD2 so I can honestly say I appreciate the work of every single DEV and custom ROM but I"m just a little unsure of what a custom ROM on this device brings to the table. Are there features i'm missing?

thanks all
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapscallion16:
Obviously, custom ROMs give people certain features and optimizations that aren't available in the stock ROM. But I understand where your coming from. Most people use custom ROMs on devices that don't have the latest Android version, and want the bleeding edge of software available. On the Nexus 7, and most Nexus devices, you are on the bleeding edge, and are always up to date. Until a ROM comes out with a must-have feature, stock ROM suits my needs perfectly on my Nexus. :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlanza1054:
Well the only reason I am going to root, is to be able to do a fail safe backup.

Using Clockwork mod, you get to backup everything including the way you have it set, the launcher especially.

I just root, and just use the stock rom.

And some apps require root.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bso44:
Probably a dumb question but does root prevent you from getting and installing OTAs?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defnow:
It shouldnt but youll lose root.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bso44:
Gotcha. That's a bit of a bummer. So the only way to get any new features or bug fixes from the OTA is to flash a ROM that implements them?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doron07:
Look into voodoo ota rootkeeper, it will restore root after an update. I've never had to use it as this is my first Nexus device, and applied all updates before rooting. Also, ROMs generally implement updates within a very short time frame so I wouldn't worry about that.

This is a nexus. If you want to remain on stock..unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, flash Su zip, flash stock recovery if you want OTAs. If an ota comes, flash it. If you lose root, it will take less than 5 mins to set up
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rugged96:
thanks all,

i have unlocked and rooted the N7 and am not questioning the value of those 2 items...trust me that is a huge deal. But i do appreciate the comments--I didn't want to deviate from Stock if it didn't do much and it doesn't seem like any of the new ROMs have made substantial enough changes to warrant a switch.

thanks

Rugged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanmcd72:
Obviously it's not like a Verizon device that has a bunch of bloat and excess so out of the box we are looking great.

Some of the roms are and will be simply stock deodexed/zip-aligned which allow for more customization/theming etc.

Right off the bat, I'd like a stock based rom that I can easily theme that has the default Adroid browser with Flash installed. I don't care about launchers and tablet modes, etc.

The good thing is there should be a huge variety of lightly tweaked to heavily tweaked roms available eventually. If you don't need anything different, then you are good to go and will spend less time staying up late flashing your device. :good:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] navyjosh:
Hello all,

First of all I want to say thank you to all the devs that spend their time building & debugging these wonderful mods that I have been using over the years. THANKS!!

Now I understand, with ICS, there is a new type of file system that is more efficient in combining storage space for apps and data, but somehow messes with internal and external storage. I am not extremely familiar with details and that is the extent of my knowlege.

here is my issue: (if I suspect correctly this is because I dont have a micro sd card)

When I flash an ICS mod I am unable to take pictures, download anything, or perform any task that requires writing to internal storage. I have searched through the forums and found people with similar problems but I have not found a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only thing that is preventing me from going out and purchasing a micro sd card is my wheelchair (i was in a motorcycle accident recently).

Thanks!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NonStopSales:
You need to have a micro SD because the phones internal memory is not used the same way as in a stock LG rom. In order for your camera or apps to work correctly you need a micro SD card so it can save the information to it. The 8GB internal memory is not accessed at all, some roms may give you the option to save your pictures to the internal memory but it is not advised because that is where you Rom is stored, so if you get a corrupt file, your gonna get some unplesent results. You can purchase a micro SD card anywhere from $1-$30 online, ranging from 512mb-30gb, i suggest eBay, just make sure you buy from a reputable seller because there are many fake mislabeled micro SD cards on there. Gook Luck and Enjoy ICS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
I wouldn't suggest eBay, too many scams, try Amazon also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dustin Bieber:
