It would do a crook no good, as they can't get your info using a rfid scanner. To begin with, the nfc antenna is only active with the screen on and unlocked, save for a few custom roms that allow the user to select a different nfc polling option. Secondly, the wallet app's pin must be entered before the secure element can be accessed by it. Thirdly, the only "card" stored on the device is a virtual one that can't be used outside of wallet. Your actual payment card info is not stored on the device. Finally, for someone to actually intercept the info transmitted, they would have to pretty much brush up against the device in the area of the nfc antenna.

All that being said, there's no harm in being overly cautious, and a healthy bit of caution is unfortunately a necessity when your PII is involved.

All this was said about other technology in the past. Its theft prof. I would agree IRS a very low risk right now. But who is to say someone does make a more powerful nfc. Pay pass. Scanner. Who knows for sure. Ad a 4n
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
Well carrying loads of cash around with you is less than secure all it takes is muscle. Debt /credit cards are easy hand it over to say a waiter they walk away with and ring it out and could use one of those 15 dollar card scanner.

Only difference is aside from cash if a case of fraud happens you can get your case back(can only speak of my experience with out any fraud proctection turned on or a fee paid)

Also food for thought my gmail is more protected than my banking account. If I gave you my gmail and password you would still not be able to log into my account without my phone with you. If you got my logon on for my bank well you could go on and request a new debit card without my knowledge atleast for a couple of days when an email comes through stating a card has been shipped.
[Nexus 7 General] djmomar:
I'm not having this issue with 4.2 on my N7, but I am having a similar issue on the N4. First day I used my new phone I noticed that the NFC accounted for 23% of my battery. Also I couldn't get past the initial loading screen for Google Wallet. I'm guessing it may be a bug in 4.2, and until a fix is made I'll have to leave the NFC option disabled. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] martin_secretary:
So I've spent a few hours looking around for how I can upgrade my Transformer Prime to JellyBean and I'm beyond frustrated.

It seems there are so many different guides, and almost all of them for older versions of the prime (< .28). I read through all the rooting guides on the "rolled-up sticky guides" page

It's almost as if you come late to the rooting scene with your device you're out of luck.

Then I decided the best method to approach this is skip rooting my device and simply unlock my bootloader, then use fastboot to load CWM onto my device.

Only problem is I'm reading tons of sketchy looking sites with broken image links on how to do this, and the user comment complaints on those sites don't really raise my confidence.

I found this link:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Asus_Transformer_Prime:_Full_Update_Guide

but then read this:

"NOTE: In order to flash CyanogenMod via ROM Manager, root access is required. Attaining root access is outside the scope of this wiki page."

WTF!??!

So can someone here verify if I need root access to flash a ROM if I've already installed CWM?

EDIT:

I was confusing ROM Manager with Clockwork Recovery (in my head they are the same). So the guide is correct, I do need root for ROM Manager, but not for Clockwork Recovery.

So the steps I needed to take were:

1) Unlock the bootloader using the official Asus bootloader unlocker

2) Follow this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Asus_Transformer_Prime:_Full_Update_Guide, but use the Clockwork Recovery way instead of the ROM Manager way.

3) Enjoy Jelly Bean :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Makrilli:
ÄIf you want to flash cwm instead of twrp then just head to cwm home site. If you want to flash twrp then head to the twrp thread. Also fastboot shouldn't be too hard to find. Then just follow any guide to flash recovery. Also that guide seems to be messed up obviesly you don't have to be rooted to flash with cwm. http://www.androidauthority.com/install-cwm-5-8-2-0-on-transformer-prime-60909/

Also if you need. That guide should work just fine.

I've got me that official case but I'm not happy with it... For that money I expect more...

Others?

Recommendations?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] aeon101:
And what did you expect? You new what is this case about before buying, so why are you unhappy? I'm using this case from the very beginning and yes, is mote expensive, but very premium quality made. Using as a stand, cover and you can make telephone calls (if you do that) with closed tablet. For me perfect!

minisuit case is what I chose. 360 rotation and two grooves for angle adjustment. I really like the minimial intrusion to the screen, it only grips the edges it does lay on the face of the screen. Only downside is I have the i815 and had to mark with a sharpie (marker) and then drill a hole in the side of the case to allow for the IR "blaster" took about 5 mins. faux leather is sturdy so far since June. has the strap and small logo on back engraved. price was low direct from minisuit.com although they do carry it on amazon.

Hi ,

I have some problem with playing video...which size and what format of videos fits the best in wildfire and have no problem when playing...and which converter you suggest to use for converting videos.. ? thanks all..
[Wildfire General] Wasimk32:
.mp4 or .3gp format with 320*240 resolution would do.

use any video converter like total video converter,format factory etc.

I personally use handbrake.
[Wildfire General] NeXT1001:
hmm i watch video in .mp4 format with higher resolution than 320x240
[Wildfire General] Rydlis:
I think Wildfire can play video 480x320 and the same resolution can recorder, if I found the thread I post
[Wildfire General] arsalan11:
don't forget that the best video bitrate that willy can handle without problem is 256KBs even if you use smaller resolution but your video bitrate is higher than 256KBs you would have some lags and pauses during playing as i testet the best frame rate for that was 25fram/sec mobo video player is better than others you can play FLV files with above conditions very smoothly.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamakookie:
I foolishly let someone try to root my Kindle Fire, and now it is stuck in what seems to be the TWRP boot loop (the kindle fire is blue and white). If I leave it alone unplugged it will occasionally continue to the Kindle Fire orange and white screen but will not go any farther. From the Blue/white screen I can hit the power button to enter the boot menu where I get Normal Boot, Recovery, and Reset Boot Mode. I can enter TWRP recovery menus, but otherwise it just keeps rebooting. Once in the TWRP recovery screen I can only navigate for a short time before it locks up and I have to reboot by holding the power button in. The sd card will not mount, and they did not backup anything before they started messing with the os. Ive tried the Kindle Fire utility but it says device not found. The Kindle showed up in my device manager as Other-Kindle before I installed the android drivers mentioned in another thread, and now it is under Android Phone- Android ADB Interface. It doesnt show up in My Computer at all. I've read about the factory cable but cant find on in the US so it would take 2 weeks to get here from China. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or do I now have a $200 paperweight? Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacewt:
Maybe go into twrp and do a factory reset. Can you get to that menu? Click wipe and then factory reset.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamakookie:
I've tried the factory reset but it seems to have no effect on it. How do I do the adb push? I've tried using the command prompt to run some of the commands on other threads but I'm not doing something right. I always get an 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file error.

I'll apologize now for my stupidity on this one- I have never worked with android software before this.

The kindle fire utility reads:

ADB status: Offline

Boot Status: Unknown

I can get it to boot in normal and recovery mode, but each time I try to boot in Fastboot I get an error message 'Oops... something went wrong. We are unable to locate your Kindle Fire. Make sure it is plugged in and powered on.' The Kindle shows up in Device Manager under Android Phone as Android ADB Interface

When using the twrp, anything that involves writing to or wiping the sd card receives this error E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)

I'd appreciate any help I can get. I'm at a standstill on this one.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emeraldu:
do you have drivers / ADB on your computer ?

I did manage to get my kindle go into a recovery boot loop by doing the root procedure for the original 6.3 original Amazon ROM while my kindle had the 6.2 ROM . After i realized that the root procedure (intended for ver 6.3) didn't work for me, I had to try the procedure for rooting ver. 6.2.

It worked but after a couple of resets, the tablet went into a recovery boot loop.

what i did was to use ADB comands:

enter windows - > start command prompt (start - > run -> cmd)

check if kindle is connected: adb devices

if the device is found then use:

adb shell

su

idme bootmode 4000

exit
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukebunny:
Hi all, I'm having a problem with my Kindle Fire. It is automatically booting into TWRP no matter what I do.

I have wiped everything, and installed the stock ROM, and when I reboot it just goes back to TWRP.

There is always a message of *verifying file system and *verifying partition. I can mount it and move files via USB.

In the fire utility it reads

ADB Status: Online

Boot Status: Unknown

If I try to change the bootmode it comes back waiting for device. I then got into the command line.

Doing "adb devices" shows it as being in recovery. I can reboot it from here, but goes right back to twrp.

I tried to do the adb shell--> su--> idme bootmode 4000

but after I do the shell it comes back that "su" isn't valid. I'm assuming I am doing something wrong, but I can't

for the life of me figure it out...any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

At startup hold thepower button untill you see the bootmenu come up and select "normal boot"
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukebunny:
On the Kindle itself you mean? There is no bootmenu. I get the Kindle Fire (Orange) text, then goes straight to twrp, and if I do normal reboot from there, just straight back to twrp.

The "<[6n" is likely the result of pressing the up or down arrow with number lock turned off and it is causing the command to be unrecognized.

update: when I connect the Kindle Fire HD 7 to my PC it find it, but the drivers are not correct. Before I have putted the TWRP in my Kindle I have installed the drivers with android sdk manager. Everything was ok, but after the TWRP, the drivers are not anymore ok. I can see the Kindle just in the device manager under "other applications - kindle" but it have a yellow sign that the driver is not correct. :(

What can I do?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromix3:
I have find the solution!!!! ;)

For everyone that have the same problem this are the instructions:

1.You have to download this drivers here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44446906&postcount=9

2. You have to go to "device manager" - "other applications" - kindle. You have to click on it and update the driver...you have to put the folder of the drivers that you have downloaded. After the installation go to cmd - and check if you see the devices with "adb devices". It must be there ;)

3. Now you have to put the custom rom.zip file in the same folder as adb.exe. In cmd you have to write the right pat where the rom.zip is. example: "cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\" and than you write this "adb push nameofthefile.zip /sdcard/nameofthefile.zip" after a 1-5 minutes the file is on the Kindle Fire HD7. And then follow the instructions that you have for install it.

I hope that will help someone ;)

I'm looking for a USB hub to connect to my phone : so I can plug my keyboard & mouse to it. I've been looking for such hubs, with separated power input, for a long time... and finally found some.

1) The first one is made by Hama. Has one USB port on the top, three on one side, and on the back side (not visible in the photo), there is one miniUSB port (not sure what's that for), and one port for charging, I guess.

Although it says bus-powered... not sure what that charging port is for. I mean it looks like a charging port, but maybe it is a jack?!

2) The second one is... actually, I'm not sure what company made it. But for this one, I have some specifications :

Interface: 7 x USB 2.0 output, 1 x USB input, 1 x DC 5V in

Powered by: AC/DC Adaptor

Input: AC 110-240V 50/60Hz

Output: DC 5V 1000mA

Photo of the first one, HAMA, right here.

Photo of the second one, right here.

Which one would you reccomend? Also, would any of these hubs work for the intended purpose I had in mind (connect a keyboard and a mouse)? Also, perhaps in the future, I could connect an external HDD or memory stick, mounted as NTFS...? Would they work for these? Cause if they wouldn't, that really sucks...

Been looking around for lockscreen mods after running Rootbox a few weeks ago. Really liked what was available. But on other roms I was stuck with the plain old lock. Now on JB for a few days and really miss this kind of mod. I came across this in the Nexus forum(I KNOW, not an SGS2). http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704727&highlight=faithcry+lockscreen

Is this compatible with our phones and specifically running JB? If so, anyone know how to use this zipthemer and apply this mod?

How did you get it to work? When I try to use lockscreen mods, I use ziptheme, configure the edify with my current rom zip, then flash the update zip and nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] knightsh:
It took me several tries to get right. There is a good write-up in the thread posted. But yeah. Basically click update edify, browse and find your current ROM and after it will show "success" at bottom of your screen. Then back to "theme", click back arrow and find the zip file of the icon you want to use. It should then show up on screen under "theme". Click "build it". It will create the "update.zip" file. Reboot into recovery, clear cache and dalvik, flash the "update.zip" file you created, then reboot. The op talks about boot looping and pulling battery out. I have never had to. Once it boot looped after changing jb ROMs and I just went back to recovery and reflashed ROM, booted and updated edify, then went and flashed again. Currently running Fusions jb and have never had to update edify after first time. It works with each nightly update.
