I got Two Nexus 7, then I fly to South America and give one to ma nephew, Ohh Surprise, NO GOOGLE PLAY Outside US.

Neither the Videos and eBooks I Purchased I can Open Outiside the USA.

More, some Apps Just "dissapear" from Launcher.

As soon I connected to a VPN with exit node AT USA, everithing comes back.

I Experienced similar Issues when removing the Simcard at my Previus Galaxy Nexus, but only for new content, no appg got hidden.

THIS IS A SHAME. WE MUST JOINT TO START A CLASS ACTION AGAINST GOOGLE ON THIS, NO MATTER IF WE LOST, AT LEAST EVERY BODY WILL KNOW THAT DISCRIMINATORY POLICY.
[Nexus 7 General] nickles96:
I Believe the restriction on certain media outside the US is more having to do with united states copyright laws in other countries or some such. I don't think its a -google- discrimination.

Anyway I am sure its frustrating and I would be a little disappointed as well.
[Nexus 7 General] nooomoto:
Yeah...good luck with that.
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
I think you will find it's a movie company restriction, nothing really to do with Google....

Ask a grown up if you don't understand the difference.
[Nexus 7 General] yuno1984:
Old news

Sorry to say but the world is bigger then the states. Almost every country has different laws/restrictions ect. Not half of all the options you'll have in the states work in Europe due to above. I'm waiting for the Nexus 7 to be released (in my country) to buy one but I know we will miss a lot of content. Be patient google is working to fix this (I hope).

Even Barnes & Noble require you to have a credit card with a US address before you can buy any books on your Nook.
[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
Sideload EVERYTHING

There is always a workaround.
[Nexus 7 General] bloodydamnhell:
And have fun trying to buy things while you're out of the country. It (the Nook) doesn't even have the decency to tell you that it's not available until after you order and it just doesn't work. Eventually, you see an email pop up on your phone telling you that your money doesn't spend since you aren't in the US.

At least they let you keep (and download) everything you already purchased.
[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
Google is trying to expand, the problem is that everything requires a contract signed with the media rights holders. And those holders are different in every freaking country.

Google isn't restricting your access, they just don't have the legal ability to give you that stuff until all the contracts get signed. Cut them some slack.
[Nexus 7 General] slimdizzy:
Really? You have no understanding about content licencing do you? Ask iPhone 4 owners how Siri works for them outside the US. Oh right it doesn't for the same reasons.

Mods please lock this thread to stop the idiocracy.
[Nexus 7 General] CharliesTheMan:
You either knew of these policies before hand or you didn't do your research before buying. In my opinion ignorance of policy is not at all a valid argument against a content provider. Google didn't force you to buy the product and they didn't force you to keep the product.

It's kind of like me buying peanut butter to use as an adhesive, then building an entire house using peanut butter instead of nails and glue for all material connections. Except the peanut butter would need to have "Not to be used for adhesive properties or as a construction material." But decide to use it anyway and then when my house starts falling apart I go on a derogatory defamation campaign and try to file a lawsuit demanding an injunction which would require Jif Peanut Butter Inc to start using epoxy resin in their peanut butter.

I understand you being frustrated but it's not googles fault and they didn't declare that the product would work in every place on Earth, they made it clear from the start that wasn't the case.
[Nexus 7 General] runemail:
The problem is that Google disables your content if you go outside the us. Can be really annoying if you purchase and download a lot of content to bring with you when traveling. This is not the case with amazon kindle or iTunes... You have to be pretty stupid to buy content in the play store IMHO, except apps of course.
[Nexus 7 General] antikryst:
i agree. iOS allows you to at least bring content out of the US. hell... they now have a movie and tv store where i am (manila). amazon kindle books are the same way. we could buy books from abroad and read them anywhere.

did you download the transformers movie offline and it still disappeared when you didnt have a US ip address? still looking for a non root non vpn offline solution for my nexus 7. even just for movies for the meantime as i can still use zinio for my magazines and kindle for my books. :)

THe world does not revolve around the U.S either. I live in Canada, I'm pretty sure I can confirm my Nexus 7 has full play capabilities. ;)

[Nexus 7 General] antikryst:
still looking for a non root solution. :)

i can get google music though. since i was in the US when it started and i was able to register there. i can still access it even when i am not in the US. i can also do vpn on my macbook to buy music. just hoping some similar solution can be had for books magazines and movies.
[Nexus 7 General] Kermee:
I'm curious. For example, you 'own' the Transformer movie.

If the entire movie is downloaded to your device (or a book for that matter), vs. streaming, and you enter into a country where there are licensing restrictions on the movie, would it still show as being available or would it disappear?

Has anyone run into this scenario yet? My assumption from the OP's post signified that the content was being streamed and not already downloaded onto the device.

That would be akin to you buying a bunch of movies, TV shows, songs onto your iPhone/iPod, and as you travel around the world and you can only listen to them in 'certain countries'.

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus 7 General] antikryst:
Booted my Nexus 7 via VPN so I can get the credit on signing in. Downloaded the books offline. After I switched VPN off play books and magazines disappeared so I would say yes on those.

Didn't bother trying with the Transformers movie since download was slow and I wanted to play with my toy already.
[Nexus 7 General] xdajag:
I can understand google preventing users from buying content when outside the covered areas but to prevent users from using the content they have purchased just because you connected to a wifi network outside the us is stupid. This makes a Nexus 7 a no no device for travelers. I love my Nexus 7 but not even Apple does this if you travel with your iPad and have books and magazines on your device you can enjoy them anywhere, after all you paid for the content. Google needs to fix this for travelers.

Time of crash (m-d-y h:m:s): 07-30-2011
Uptime (h:m:s): 0:00:05

If I press volume up, I get emergency mode. If I press volume down, it reboots back into the crash screen. I've searched for info on pmapp.c and can't find much besides the fact it's common to a whole bunch of phones, making me think it's something to do with the chipset.

Any help?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the phone will boot into fastboot mode, but only stays in fastboot mode for about 10 seconds. Afterwards, the screen turns white scattered with multicolored pixels (sort of like a camera's high ISO noise, if you know what I'm talking about) and then the screen flashes on and off every few seconds.

[Defy General] serfus:

[Defy General] TJKV:
If you mean the textual shortcuts, each shortcut (most anyway) consists of TWO shortcuts to the same app, one whose icon says "mess", and the adjacent one "age" for example, making "message" when placed next to each other. Homescreen set to 7x7 on Apex, Drawer too 7 icons...a bit of experimentation on Simple Text and the grid size of the homescreen was required :)
[Defy General] abhimanyu.lp:
jelly beans in hindi...wow
[Defy General] AlexGraves:
No, you don't have to use them on Defy. It's optional.

Yes, they do take some space from the screen. But, in my opinion, the default size is still acceptable.

Yes, there is an option to toggle them on and off in Quarx's CM10 since 28.07 build.

Previously, we had to do it by installing zip files made by Marhensa or modifying build.prop file.
[Defy General] paradigmshift:
I was pleased with this Google Now result. :)
[Defy General] tronjojo:
Thx. Do you find the on screen buttons useful on the Defy?
[Defy General] AlexGraves:
previously, when Quarx had not yet fixed the capacitive button LED, yes it was useful ... :)

but after using it for some times, there are 1 thing that i dislike ... the position of menu/setting button is app dependent.

so it may appear at the lower right bottom bar, or upper right corner of the app.

a bit confusing at first.

but overall function is no difference with the standard capacitive buttons.

Hi,

How can I temp root an ICS Sensation without bootloader unlock?

All I want is to change some registry values to improve SD speed, but I don't want to do the bootloader unlock - don't want to lose all the apps' data.

Can't backup the data with Titanium backup as it requires root too :)

regards,

Gromit2005
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
There is a temporary root.. Which can give you access to adb.. Can't use UI though.. So adb is enough for you then you can use temp root Widows zip in my soff guide (link in my signature)

Running temp_root gives you temp root but during that time Ui is unusable

And running temp_root_remove removes the temp root..

Both should be run with phone connected normally (home screen/lock screen)

Hi,

Just got the HD and wanting to root, I made the DUMB mistake of letting it update to 2.3.5 and now tried the methods I found and nothing works to root. Could not even get the leak for 4.1 to work from LG.

Any thoughts or roots around... Thinking of just taking it back and trading it for another one and not updating so I can root this phone.

I gave up and ended up after trying all the root methods and got the leak to download on ICS which is nice.. I still would like to ROOT this phone. The unbricking seems a bit unnerving being the phone is working fine... Still a noob and what can I say.

Hopefully some will get a Root on ICS

Thanks everyone
[LG Nitro HD] JINXR:
Matt, if you successfully rooted 2.3.5 (v10j), it would be awesome if you could pull the stock images off of the phone. Those could come in very handy because the unbrick method breaks the OTA and LG software updates. Maybe putting v10j would allow the updates to work.
[LG Nitro HD] Hutch89:
When I first got the phone I updated to v10j and successfully rooted, but was an ass and went straight to a new from without making a backup because my wife has a stock nitro...sorry. I do remember it took about an hour, several attempts with several methods, and doomlords method ended up being what finally worked after about five attempts.

Wish I knew man, its been awhile since I did it and I know I got to a f-it point and just started trying anything I could think of.

I know that is little or no help to anyone, but I plan on trying to recreate it using my girls stock v10j tonight or tomorrow. I started last night for an hour with no luck. Feels like I'm just missing one little tweak to get it again. Will post an update after I try more.

Now fully ROOTED and Rebooted a couple times installed Titanium and CMW did all the updates and tossed back on charger (it was at 10%) All I did was not add anything and left on WIFI...

Anyone have a CLUE why this worked this time.
