Why give up on DHD???

:) it still have a good life span.....i would wait to go out right now and get my self a new phone!!!

2 bad that Lord K is shutting down Hes Ice Cold Rom....but i wend in on the Jellybean thread and gave the Unofficial CM10 a shot....and tell U the truth.....all though still in Beta it works great!!.....almost all my apps from ICS Ice cold works..... except the viber app that crashes....My Bluetooth, wifi, cam, gps works just great.....in fact my gps works even better now....before i had to copy some gps files manually into root every time there was a new nightly build.....now it just maxes out on satellites and works great with my sygic app.

And the install of the Jelly rom wend smoothly....into to recovery, clear cashe partition, clean delvig, clear battstats, install the rom , install the jelly gabbs and away it wend......

So guys.....give it a try...and wait at least until 2k13 to look for a new device.....U would be amazed how great the unofficial CM10 Jelly rom works with Ure DHD:cool:

The ASUS wall adapter that came with my Nexus 7 is dead, I can still charge the N7 via USB connected to a PC but not via the wall adapter. I contacted ASUS for a replacement and they say it is not covered under warranty, I can buy a new one for $9.99. I bought the N7 at Staples and they will just replace the N7, cable, and wall adapter, basically return the entire package for a new one. However, Staples doesn't have any more in stock and doesn't know when they will be available. I also don't really want to replace the tablet itself.

Anyone know of a good replacement wall adapter? If the stock ASUS is so weak that it dies in a week, I don't really want to throw good money at another one and would rather get a better one. Also ASUS says three week delay in getting one which is also not really good for me.

Thanks all for your help!

PS, I called google, had I purchased from them they would have replaced it free.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
That's rollox, of course it's covered but your first point of contact has to be Staples, your contract is with them not Asus or Google.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] grizzly660fan:
Thanks for trying to help, my first contact was Staples, they offered to exchange the entire N7 (wall adapter, cable, tablet) but are out of stock and can only say they will be available in two - three weeks. Staples suggested I contact ASUS as ASUS carries the warranty for the device when outside the exchange window for Staples or the 14 day window from Google.

I contacted ASUS and they won't replace the wall adapter under warranty, they offer to sell me one but also say it will be a long time (weeks) before being shipped.

I think its crap ASUS won't back the wall adapter and replace it free of charge under warranty!

So, I ask again, anyone know of a good wall adapter replacement?

Thanks in advance for all your help!!

I think the OP is in the states. No SOGA to fall back on.

Have a search, there's a thread on "chargers" which is US specific.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
Ah, sorry Grizzly fan, come live in the UK m8 :)

As for chargers, avoid any of the Griffin ones even though they make some good adaptors, personal experience and posts here say the N7 doesn't even recognise you've got one plugged in.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Mike Fitz:
Many aftermarket charger/cable combos don't play well with the N7. I ordered this one that's supposedly made for the N7, hasn't arrived yet but possibly today. Might be worth a shot.

It's too hot to hold right now. I walked around my workplace and lost 4g. Nothing is running on the phone. I've lost 20% battery in the past half hour. Something is wrong :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
Turned phone of for 10 mins. Battery dropped from 26% to 16% between restarts. 4g is back, heat is gone. What could be the issue? I know this phone has been having problems on Verizon's 4g network
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lemonhead8890:
Not really worth posting... you are doing something to cause the cpu to run crazy.. the only time i have ever got it hot is in games or if im tethering for any extended period of time. Battery life will suffer horribly from this.. so far ive been able to drain this 2100mah Battery within 6 hours. Dont posts pointless babble plz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AlexDeGruven:
It's possible the tower you're connected to is having issues, causing you to drop back to 3G which might also be having issues, causing your phone to fight for a signal.

Loss of signal makes everything go nuts on a phone. It pumps up the antennae to try and hold on to any signal it can see. This also increases the drain on the battery which generates heat on it's own.

In certain stores, I have to turn my phone completely off (sometimes I can get away with just turning off mobile data), as even maintaining a voice channel is running everything at full blast, murdering the battery and scorching me (not really, but it's still hot).

The phone's SOC should have a safety switch that will force it to power off if it gets TOO hot. Unfortunately for our comfort, too hot for electronics is MUCH higher than too hot for our skin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
What a wonderfully constructive post. My phone has been idle and doing this. Please re read the op.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
yes this is what I have been thinking. Although sometimes I will lose 4g until I restart my device. I think it's somewhat of a software issue over a network problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AlexDeGruven:
Reading is hard, apparently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmg5461:
Agreed. I think the problem is along the lines of 4G dropping and the phone is trying to reconnect to it with no success. Is this debug info in the logcat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AlexDeGruven:
It could be. I've never personally had occasion to pull a logcat, so I'm not sure what kind of information gets stored in there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FormulaLT1:
My phone also did this yesterday while idling except, I did lose 4G, it just wouldn't charge cause it said it was too hot and felt like it just came out of the oven (ofcourse it was mid 90's here yesterday) but IMO still shouldn't get that hot when not in use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coop9:
The information about signal should be available in logcat.

My GNex would do this. It would struggle to find a signal and heat up significantly as a result. Battery life suffered. This would happen in my office, but not at home where I have a better 4G signal.

Switching to WiFi at the office helped, but was not really a solution to the problem which certainly can occur when you don't have WiFi available.

As a note the GS3 doesn't do this for me, so it appears that the radios are better in this device. Doesn't help you much, but hey, it could be worse I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slic|<:
This happened with my Fascinate.. where it had died due to running out of juice. And wouldn't turn back on or even charge with the in car charger due to Texas heat being 104 Degrees scorching at that time.. -__-". Had gotten an error temperature message with phone will not turn on/charge due to temperature too high risk... :(

All phones do this. There's a local grocery store that I swear uses a cell jammer, you get 20ft through the doors and a full 4G signal drops to nothing, not even 1xRtt, not even voice or sms. All throughout the store, until you walk out the door, then wide open signal again. I have seen my battery go down like 80% in an hour in there until I figured it out and started putting it in airplane mode when I go there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypnosis4U2NV:
I have 2 bars of 3G service in my home and the phone eats that battery up.. Wish the radio was better, you would think after 2 generations of Galaxy S's and the Nexus they would get that right with the phone at this point..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AlexDeGruven:
Most buildings like grocery stores and such are built with steel framing, rather than the wood that gets used in regular houses. This creates a faraday cage effect when you walk through the doors. Depending on the construction, it can be very strong and effectively block most signal from getting in.

I have also seen this effect in manufactured homes/trailers, as they tend to use steel framing rather than wood.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
It's the only building anywhere around here that is that dramatic of a change. Every other grocery store or mall or home or office I have a 4G signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypnosis4U2NV:
At work we have a modular trailer and I get no service once I step inside.. And if you ever go to warehouses like Home Depot or Costco, the signal drops significantly..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DirtyDroidX:
Yes it's all do to the radio. Those of us, in a fringe area have to suffer tthrew this. If I'm at my house I can get 4G upstairs and 1x in the basement. This causes the phones battery to drain much faster and cause great issues. I recommend using a different kernel if you are comfortable with it. Also use deadline/smartass . It takes some tweaking, but it will help. No matter what we do we have to face the fact that 4G devices kill battery life.Your not going to get no more then 4 hours screen on time. I love the phone don't get me wrong but the only all day battery phone is the MAXX. I have one also and Motorola s radios are killer lol I wish I could stick my MAXX radios in this baby :cool: Another thing its download CPU spy , see if your phone is actually sleeping. It could be a rouge app , contributing to the problems to. I just picked up a 4500mah extended battery , it was the best 30 bucks I ever spent. Good luck and let us know if it was anything else then software related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ExodusC:
Plenty of us here can pull more than 4 hours of screen-on time in a single charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DirtyDroidX:
On a standard battery with 4G on ? I don't think much more then then 4 hours. I would love to see a poll for ppls, screen on time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
Instead of Verizon going around putting up 5 4G towers every 2 months why don't they try and fix the 3G ones that are all messed up and helping those on the fringe areas. My house is fine, then I go to work and its useless to bring a phone. 1X and 1 bar 3G until I literally go a street over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypnosis4U2NV:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Byonik:
I've experienced this too with my GS3. When I first got my Bionic last year, there were several instances when it would get so hot it was uncomfortable to hold - much hotter than the GS3 gets. It was related to the same signal hunting issue.

The good news is that issue was completely resolved by a FW update for the Bionic, so it's very likely this problem can be patched on the GS3 as well.

One thing that potentially can't be improved is the reception/signal strength. My Bionic (now my wife's phone) consistently has a stronger signal than my GS3, and I have done side by side speed tests where the Bionic was 3x faster (literally).

I don't expect the GS3 to ever have Moto-class radio performance, but hopefully it can be improved w/ future FW updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rvenkat:
I had the same issue with my sgs3. I used the Phone Info app to switch over to 3G only, hoping that would solve the problem -- no dice. I installed Onavo to get a look at the data usage -- wtf, Samsung and Verizon process were using >100MB of data per day?? I have an unlimited plan, but this is ridiculous.

I bit the bullet, rooted the phone and installed Ti Backup. Froze just about any app I could -- there are a couple of threads around here with extensive lists of bloatware. Since I did that, the phone's been SO much more stable & cool and is a veritable battery-miser now. I went from 9am to 11pm on 4G yesterday with moderate usage and still had 36% battery left. The screen is now the largest user of power, as you'd expect, not the AndroidOS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] simollie:
For me it really depends on the 4G signal strength. Yesterday I stayed at home where I get excellent 4G, after 11 hours I had 61% left with 2 hours screen time. At work where the signal is weak (2 bars and occasional drop to 3G), I normally have ~60% left after ~8 hours with ~1 hour screen time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypnosis4U2NV:
Today I tried something different at work where my signal is practically non-existent.. I turned 4G off and just stayed on 3G, and I already noticed the battery kept its charge more and the phone didn't get as hot..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mwep:
You do know you can call VZW and let them know about a dead spot. Several people from my company called and VZW came to install antennas on our work campus. Sure, its a rather large facility but if enough people call and report the address then they will surely help out.

Before we were lucky to get 1 bar of 3G and now we have nearly full signal of 4G.

Our facilities people sent an email to everyone letting them know that VZW added equipment to the campus so it wasn't just a fluke or local upgrade.

My response was a bit clipped and rude. I beg your pardon. It appears, though, that you aren't discussing alternative apps or writing a new app. Rather you have a specific problem with a specific app, and you're look for a solution. Looks like Q&A to me. Still, I was a jerk. My apologies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
Yes! Coming from the Droid Charge, this phone takes forever to load new songs. Also, there is a buzzing sound between songs while the song is buffering which I did not have with the Droid Charge. Maybe it's the way the phone processes the audio signal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] minmongoblin:
I've noticed that the sound is distorted for the first second or two of every new song/commercial. It's strange but doesn't seem to affect my phone's speed...seems just as fast at loading songs as my old Bionic

[Nexus 7 General] RoboCuz:
So I created a CWM backup of my system. I then hooked it up to my PC, and copied the backup off. After, I deleted the backup. This is where things went wrong. It didn't recover the space...I unhooked and rehooked, rebooted the Nexus, no dice. I tried logging in and deleting the date named directory, got a strange error, no such file. Changed into the date directory, tried to delete the actual files, got "Operation not permitted". I have tried as root, I have tried with -f. No dice.

I tried looking for a way to check the partition, but I can't seem to find it...I think my partition is corrupt. I manged to reclaim the space by re-writing the files with empty stubs, and now I have my space back, but I still have a directory with 6 files in it that I can't delete. Any suggestions on how to scan the partition correctly, and fix?

When I boot into CWM, I only have access to e2fsck, there doesn't seem to be any fsck.fuse to fsck /dev/fuse. And Windows 7 is recognizing it as a media not just disk mount, so I can't run chkdsk there....

Please advise, I am sure I am missing something obvious...

Hey just curious if anyone has had any been able to successfully get Google Wallet working with an AOSP rom on Verizon. I am aware that the current method works for Touchwiz based roms, however, the NFC libs are supposedly included in CM.

[myTouch 4G General] ari_aaron:
My MyTouch is actually a HTC Panache from Moblicity, which is apparently the same phone with a different name. I usually use it with WIND Mobile, and when I go to the US, I use my T-Mobile SIM. On my old Hawauai U8100, this was not a problem, and all APNs changed automaticly, and i had no problem using data in the US or Canada. On this phone, however, APN setting are cleared every time i remove the SIM. I already have the settings for WIND and T-Mobile, so I can re-enter them every time, however i noticed that T-Mobile uses the AT&T network in places that there is no T-Mobile coverage (such as upstate NY), so when I am there I only have voice & SMS, but no data, as I do not have AT&T APN setting.

So first of all, I would like to know how my old phone got APNs automaticly, and if that would be possible on the MyTouch, and if not, what are the APN settings for the AT&T network that is shared with T-Mobile?

Hi there is it possible that that someone could mess up a samsung galaxy s2 by flashing an incorrect rom to it?

I bought one second had and the phone chrges fine but always says device not recognised when plugged in via usb.

Thanks rob
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJDdeLacerda:
Yes, of course. If you flash wrong, your phone can brick. Try to flash an original rom without mods, using Odin, and see how your phone behaves. If it's ok, with the USB connection working, then you flash a custom rom and can really expect it to be fully functional.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] athakur999:
That's not what I'm talking about it. I'm talking about the new in JB "Sound Search" widget that is basically Google's take on Shazam/Soundhound/etc. The only way I've found to start it is by adding the widget to a home screen and then tapping on it when you want it to start trying to identify a song. Here's an article on it: http://www.androidauthority.com/google-sound-search-whats-this-song-now-available-for-ics-98773/

However, the widget is 4x1 and is not resizable (at least with the stock launcher). I don't want to clutter up my home screens keeping it up full time but adding it deleting it each time I want to ID a song is cumbersome too. I would be nice if there was another way to get to that function.
