[Nexus 7 General] RajanB:
Yep. Tried that aswell... if it had worked I wouldn't of come back to ask if anyone had any other ideas as to why it doesn't work..

I thought it was possible to ask questions on here without people saying stuff like that...
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
clearly you are doing something wrong because the drivers work.

If you need help, you need to provide more details on what you are trying and what the issue is when you try to install... Not just an image of what happens when you plug the device in. That part is obvious that you don't have the drivers installed.

So of the various methods of getting drivers, which ones did you try and what did they say when you tried loading them?
[Nexus 7 General] RajanB:
Ok, let me run you through what I'm doing here...

I opened up the zip containing the files.

These are the files that I am greeted with;

amd64

i386

android_winusb

androidwinusb86

androidwinusb64

source.properties

Now what? (=
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
Those are the drivers... now you need to load them.... Not using Vista for many years... did a simple google search and found...

Windows Vista

To install the Android USB driver on Windows Vista for the first time:

Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Found New Hardware wizard.
Select Locate and install driver software.
Select Don't search online.
Select I don't have the disk. Show me other options.
Select Browse my computer for driver software.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.) As long as you specified the exact location of the installation package, you may leave Include subfolders checked or unchecked—it doesn't matter.
Click Next. Vista may prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.
When Vista asks if you'd like to install the Google ADB Interface device, click Install to install the driver.

Or, to upgrade an existing Android USB driver on Windows Vista with the new driver:

Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
Select Device Manager in the left pane.
Locate and expand ADB Interface in the right pane.
Right-click on Listed Nexus 7 Device, and select Update Driver Software.
When Vista starts updating the driver, a prompt will ask how you want to search for the driver software. Select Browse my computer for driver software.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.) As long as you specified the exact location of the installation package, you may leave Include subfolders checked or unchecked—it doesn't matter.
Click Next. Vista might prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.
When Vista asks if you'd like to install the Google ADB Interface device, click Install to upgrade the driver.

Change the location in the instructions to where you unloaded those USB drivers and you should be on your way...
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
Try pdanet drivers, just Google pdanet install the proper one(can't remember if they have a 32 bit or 64 bit)

I used their drivers to root the n7. If they don't have asus drivers just.click I don't know. Don't remember exactly the installation step by step, but.its easy enough to get through
[Nexus 7 General] RajanB:
Tried that. It all installed correctly, it just won't show up in Computer so I can view my files.

I have unlocked my bootloader... if that helps, which means that Nexus Root Kit 1.5.2 can detect that the Nexus 7 is plugged in.

:eek:
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
So your having an issue with mtp stuff. Go into setting then click on storage then hit the three dots on the top right corner. Just make sure media device is checked.

Reboot the computer and try a different USB port. These are just so basic steps just do that and see what happens
[Nexus 7 General] RajanB:
Ok. Done all that, still the same. :(

And it now comes up with what you can see in the attached image.
[Nexus 7 General] uberNoobZA:
search and read the same forums you posted your question in. try the nexus 7 development forum to start.
[Nexus 7 General] uberNoobZA:
ok seriously..... search these forums for nexus root toolkit 1.5. install that and follow the prompts for installing drivers
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
The driver he is having issues with is mtp. This might be a windows error.

I sent you a pm OP
[Nexus 7 General] RajanB:
Thank you! I knew there were some decent people around here. My first help post, and a bunch of ugly trolls come and ruin the thread.
[Nexus 7 General] peterk-1:
Firstly I think you need to get your W7 back to stock. Open Device Manager and find any Asus devices look under Portable Devices and (with USB debugging enabled on the Nexus).Asus Android Devices. Right click on each found device and select Un-install. A window will open to confirm deletion PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TICK THE BOX TO DELETE(?)THE SOFTWARE BEFORE "OK".

Download the drivers linked at http://support.asus.com/download/Mod...xus%207&type=1 and unzip the file to a directory (say NexusDriver) on your hard driver. With USB Debugging ENABLED connect you nexus. Windows should shortly give you a choice about finding drivers, in effect auto or manual, select manual and point Windows to NexusDrivers and that should be the end of you problems
[Nexus 7 General] bradsh1:
I too am having this problem. USB Debug shows up but no MTP
[Nexus 7 General] digixmax:
You can only use the USB interface for either ADB or MTP but not both at the same time. Turn off USB Debug and the N7 should show up in Windows Explorer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] invisibro:
Anyone else have this issue? When I short press the power button to turn off the screen, it sometimes looks like it's going to turn the screen off then turns back on to the lock screen.

This has caused me all kinds of pocket dialing / pocket shortcut making / pocket emailling issues.

I THINK this issue might be caused by the Screebl app (app that keeps screen on when being held) since I can't replicate it with it off. I really would like to use it though because it's a really useful app. Any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Steven 1:
I can't half press my power button. It just turns off when I apply little pressure

Must be an isolated issue
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] invisibro:
It's not a half press. It's a short press (vs long press - which would bring up the power menu to shut down, restart, etc). It turns the screen off, then it blinks back on to the lock screen, but seemingly only when Screebl is enabled. Might just have to drop that app, but I'd rather not because it's damn useful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Your last paragraph seems as if you've already isolated the problem. Unfortunately, I think you know your only choice. I'd consider contacting the creator of the app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] `Ghost`:
If i do a very quick short press with netflix open it brings me to the lock screen. no big deal
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] customyota:
Hey, I just wanted to confirm that this is not just isolated to your phone. I have had this issue with two phones so far, a Samsung Vibrant and an HTC One S. I've been looking for an answer as well, but so far turning off Screebl has been the only solution. Sucks because I love Screebl.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Kousthubha Kumar:
Nope. You can actually move them, but you cant play them. Root is required for them to play and No music player takes root permissions or support this feature. Also, you can only move in phone , in PC it would not recognise.

I ride long distances on my motorcycle and I'm trying to find a GPS tracking APP that will allow my wife to follow where I'm at on my trips.

Any advise on an APP would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nextelfixer:
You should give Realtime GPS Tracker a try. It really works well.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
OK, so I haven't tried it, but I just came across Google Tracks the other day and I think it will do what you want:

Record and share your GPS tracks with My Tracks.

My Tracks records your path, speed, distance, and elevation while you walk, run, bike, or do anything else outdoors. While recording, you can view your data live, annotate your path, and hear periodic voice announcements of your progress.

With My Tracks, you can share your GPS tracks and stats online:

- Via Google+, Facebook, or Twitter

- Using Google Maps, Google Fusion Tables, or Google Docs

- As a GPX, KML, CSV, or TCX file

My Tracks uses the GPS sensor in your phone to record geographic and velocity statistics, but the app also syncs with third-party biometric sensors, including:

- Zephyr HxM Bluetooth heart rate monitor

- Polar WearLink Bluetooth heart rate monitor

- ANT+ heart rate and speed distance monitors (these require an ANT+ compatible phone)

My Tracks is an open source project. If you like to contribute, please visit:

http://mytracks.googlecode.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nextelfixer:
The only thing is that with Tracks, you have to upload your tracking data to share. With the other, anyone you authorize can go online and see your tracking and location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sparkdroid:
I haven't tried that many but I like "Instamapper GPS Tracker". It allows users to see your location and speed via a webpage. Here is a demo:

problems of using gps tracking app for smart phones

I used gps app in my smart phone . i have faced problem for using gps app.the problem is GPS use can take a big slice out of battery life. On newer big-screen smartphones, which already struggle to last a day, frequent use of GPS tracking can reduce endurance to a few hours. Is their any alternate solution.
[Nexus 7 General] sevron:
Do you find you use way more data because the N7 is more powerful or the same as your phone? And anyone use Bluetooth tether or just foxfi?
[Nexus 7 General] nopsled-:
Bluetooth tether is the way to go, it uses a lot less battery on your phone. Data usage should be the same, unless you're streaming movies etc.
[Nexus 7 General] EvilDeadFan:
I have mine Bluetooth tethered to my HTC Desire HD all the time while away from the house, at work, etc.

Great battery life outweighs some better connection speed while away from a charging source. Wifi works but drains the battery considerably faster, and broadcasts the fact that I'm using wifi to others.
[Nexus 7 General] sparky77:
I use the bluetooth to tether function all the time from my iPhone 4S (jailbroken Mywii bluetooth tether)
[Nexus 7 General] altk85:
I'm keeping my N7 tethered (Bluetooth) to my Galaxy S III (SGH-i747) all the time when I'm not at home on Wifi...

Data usage is about the same as on my phone alone.
[Nexus 7 General] DarkRyoushii:
So bluetooth tether saves battery for which device? I've been WiFi tethering my S3 i9300 on my commute but found it really puts a toll on the S3 battery life. It would be great if bluetooth tethering is more efficient for battery on my S3 while still holding a relatively fast data connection.
[Nexus 7 General] tizzie:
What app are you guys using in order to bluetooth tether?
[Nexus 7 General] dbett4:
both really but i've noticed drastic improvement when using the bluetooth tether compared to wifi on my SGS3.
[Nexus 7 General] IAmRelex:
Since I got my s3 and n7 I've been using foxfi with wife and my battery is great. I have yet to try bluetooth but after reading some of the replies in this thread I'll have to try it out.
[Nexus 7 General] big samm:
As soon as I step out the house I fire up hotspot tethering on my gnex and leave it like that until I come back home!

[Nexus 7 General] movieaddict:
to tether bluetooth just get pdanet for tablets and foxfi. U will have to pair them and set it up.
[Nexus 7 General] tremblingwater:
You dont need an app from what i am aware, i just tried it upon hearing about it via this thread. But its in settings, under tethering &hotspot (on your phone). I just tried it and it works great!
[Nexus 7 General] Fusion777:
I tether to a Samsung i777. Noticeably hits the battery life but not like wifi tether does. Can still get a full day out of the i777 doing this

i777 w/ Ktoonsez Siyah 3.5.1 dual booting AOKP and Shostock... yet sent from my iPad using Forum Runner
[Nexus 7 General] big samm:
Maybe for the folks who do not have the hotspot feature on their plan... I'm using the built in feature way easier like that!

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] EvilDeadFan:
For browsing needs, the data speeds are excellent. Bluetooth tethering really maintains the phone's battery life.

I took my phone off its charger at 6am, biked to work and tethered it at 8. My HTC Desire HD has considerably less battery power than your S3 does, however I've only used 10% of my total battery life.
[Nexus 7 General] sevron:
I need to get a BT tether app then as the built in one on my bionic won't connect but will pair with my nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] BrandT90:
I use Wifi Tether on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus. It already gets poor battery life so I have it plugged in every chance I get. I also don't have Internet at my apartment so it's the only way I can get connected other than when I'm at work.
[Nexus 7 General] egorre:
I use my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 (t-mo) at work (we don't have wifi since all our computers are wired) for my Nexus 7. I use about the same amount of data as of yet.
[Nexus 7 General] betamale:
So which apps are you using?

I am having problems to connect my rooted t989 with my n7 via bt.
[Nexus 7 General] Fyahstarter:
Bluetooth or WiFi and if Bluetooth, how'd you set it up? I'm on Tmo as well.
[Nexus 7 General] SnoMan88:
Bluetooth tethering is pretty good. I get about 8 to to 12 hrs out it on my phone the original Atrix. As for data a little more than phone usage. I get about 100 MB a day through Bluetooth.
[Nexus 7 General] Hero_Guy:
So I followed the instructions to set it up through Bluetooth yet I keep connecting to my home WiFi network instead. Ant ideas? I toggled WiFi off on my tablet and only had Bluetooth enabled and that didn't work.
[Nexus 7 General] currentsupply:
Can somebody pls provide a link or a quick instruction on how to set up a bluetooth tether between the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7?

Thanks,

Btw, I am always tethering via Galaxy Nexus Stock Tether functionality on the Vicious 4.1.1 ROM on the GNex. It works Great of course. I haven't really noticed significant battery drain with the tether added. If anything I believe the battery drain would be from the Verizon LTE cellular radio in the GNex, not from the wifi radio. Bluetooth might help a little, but the LTE Radio is what kills the battery.
[Nexus 7 General] paulbarwick:
Bluetooth triggers Verizon tethering warning for me

After reading this thread I thought that I would give Bluetooth a try, to compare battery usage with wi-fi tethering. My phone is a rooted HTC Rezound with CleanROM Pro 4.2.1 I connected via Bluetooth for a few seconds and then lost the connection and got a pop-up telling me that if I wanted to tether I would have to sign up for Verizon's $30 a month plan. (I am on a grandfathered unlimited data, 450 talk mins, no texting plan right now - and for as long as I can keep it :) When I went back to using the Wi-Fi tethering app that came with the custom ROM it worked fine. Since I got this tablet I use the Rezound primarily as a tethering device, and use the N7 for everything, including phone calls thanks to GrooVe IP lite which gives me access to my Google Voice. According to MyVerizon I have used 3 text messages, 11 minutes of voice and 1.51 GB of data on day 7 of 31. Of course in reality I have talked for nearly a couple of hours and texted many, many times. They did get the data right, though

Edit: As far as increasing data usage after adding tethered N7 - Yes. I have gone from about 1.5 GB on an average month to about that same amount of data in an average week, for a 4X increase.
[Nexus 7 General] earlyberd:
I tether to my Galaxy Nexus all the time, and it's about the same data usage regardless of whether I'm on my phone or my tablet. I use the same apps on my tablet as I do on my phone, so having the extra horsepower isn't going to do anything to the data usage.

High usage is sometimes a concern, but it's easy to reduce the usage by using apps instead of full websites. Not that it matters anyway since I'm on an unlimited plan, but I get throttled after a certain amount. That's not going to change whether your tablet is 3G/4G-enabled or not, but I guess some people have the need for paying for multiple data plans.
[Nexus 7 General] ijip:
Hey, I tether successfully via Bluetooth. I'm using gs2 with aokp Tom. I just have one question, the first time I did this it worked for over an hour, now it seems I have to reconnect every minute as the internet connection on the tablet always drops. The phone still works and Bluetooth shows its connected. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 General] egorre:
you mean what do I use to tether? I use the stock way to tether under wireless and networks > tethering and mobile hotspot. I don't use any apps for tethering. I also had problems connecting with any wifi or hotspot during my first day with my Nexus 7, but on day 2 onwards all is well.
[Nexus 7 General] M3drvr:
I can't manage to tether via Bluetooth anymore from galaxy nexus to my N7. It worked for a few days n then it stopped working. Only way to tether is via WiFi. And I'm using built in tether function. I find if I used the PDA net Bluetooth tether and foxfi my n7 would run at 1.3ghz all the time and the battery took such a hard hit! I wish the stock Bluetooth tether worked again as it worked perfect! But it won't connect at all even for a second to tether Bluetooth. Can send files via Bluetooth but no tether!
[Nexus 7 General] kisrita:
I use the stock wifi hotspot on my galaxy nexus to tether the nexus 7. I installed pdanet and foxfi to see if bluetooth tether would be better, got it to work at home, but it didn't work later, I got no internet on my nexus 7, even though it said the two devices were connected. My phone was connected to my car through Bluetooth, so I wonder if that was the problem? It can only be connected to one bluetooth service and can't tether the phone when it is connected to another bluetooth device? Can anybody confirm?
[Nexus 7 General] teknhard:
Wasn't able to get bluetooth to work properly on my phone but pda net plus foxfi works perfectly. I thank you for this suggestion.
[Nexus 7 General] OOPS-PLAN-B:

Thanks.

[Nexus 7 General] acegolfer:
Thanks for suggesting Bluetooth PAN.

I got it working on my CM9 Epic with unlimited data. It's a battery saver and I don't have to initiate anything from the phone. Starting wifi tethering app from phone is so cumbersome that I didn't carry N7.
[Nexus 7 General] tremblingwater:
Hi

Im wondering if anyone can help me - Im currently tethering the N7 via Bluetooth. Browsing, etc works fine but other apps etc dont recognize bluetooth as a data connection thus telling me i need to turn on data/wifi. So, for streaming things, using apps that need an internet connection.

I have encountered these with a few apps - The official London olympic app, tvcatchup, etc - They just dont recognise the bluetooth tethering as valid data connections.

Anyone have a way around this?

Cheers

p.s - if i wifi tether, all is fine, but i was hoping to solve this through bluetooth as the wifi tethering just kills the battery.
[Nexus 7 General] twistedh:
Have unlimited data on my mobile plan so just use wifi hotspot feature on my one x when I'm out and about with the nexus :)

Had some issues with bluetooth connectivity when I tried, but would use wifi even if there wasn't a problem.
[Nexus 7 General] dansan382:
i noticed some people here said they have the galaxy nexus and are using a 3rd party app to tether via bluetooth... why?

cant you just use the stock tethering under Settings>Wireless & Networks (More)>Tethering & portable hotspot>Bluetooth tethering..

i know i use it to wifi tether but im thinking of switching over to bluetooth tethering to save battery on my nexus

Hi Guys,

Little help needed... Noob Questions :confused:

1) I have preview 7 installed but if i want to update to preview 9 do i just install zip from SD via CWM?

2) Also do i need to do full wipe like i did with initial installation or is 'Cache' and 'Dalvik' wipe ok??

3) Finally i've read something about flashing 'Kernal' but to my knowledge i've never done so (Previously Stock - CM9 - CM10)

Thank for any help in advance

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirE_2o1o:
1.)

Yes, u do like you did it when you installed the previous release :>

2.)

That's enough, but a factory reset is never wrong although when it's not needed

3.)

In many cases you automatically install a custom kernel when you install a custom rom, so i think you did it without knowing it :P

You can download kernels for an example using Omega Kitchen and install them using cwm like a romfile ;)
