[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micks_address:
what i did and i've downloaded a few times is remove the google account on your device, go into location settings and click them all off.. clear the play store and play movies app settings.. then connect to your vpn... then launch your play store, sign in using your existing google account, then open play movies... movie should be there.. pin it for download..

---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

i have a separate question re the movie, i have downloaded it and can watch it in play movies but is there anyway to 'extract' the movie from play movies and watch in mx player or copy onto my pc for watching again? it take up about 2gb of space on the device... i'm guessing its wrapped in drm..

also re other movies in the store.. there only seems to be an option to rent or purchase... can you download other purchases for offline viewing?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoothfreeze:
Thanks man, it worked! Downloading now. For your question, check out Stickmount. You need to be rooted though. Hope that helps...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoothfreeze:
If you want to keep a backup, can go to Android/data/com.google.android.videos

and copy the file inside the folder with the very long name.

I don't think our can view it off from outside the tablet itself, but you can give it a try though.

Anyone having more luck here? Since once has DRM-rights to the file, maybe there is a work-around so one can watch the movie elsewhere (as opposed to android os and play-store)?

Well today my Nexus had a meeting with the floor. My friend accidentally knocked it out my hand into its doom. It is still usable, but I really don't want to keep it with a broken screen. There are several cracks on it. I don't want damage to get worse, cut my fingers, or look this ugly.

Does anywhere know a place in Canada I can repair it cheap? Telus wanted to charge $150.... I do not want to do anything online or by myself. Is there a place I can walk in and come back the sane day to pick it up?

Please be specific with the price, I want my nexus to live....

PLEASE help me out :(....... Someone suggested Pmall to me but I need to know the exact price.... I don't want to waste a trip bringing too little or finding out they don't even repair screens for my phone....

[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
The following extracts should suffice for the behavior I have been seeing lately in the threads:

Please be friendly: Showing courtesy and respect to others is a vital part of the Android culture, and we expect everyone participating in the Android community to join us in accepting nothing less. Being courteous does not mean we can't constructively disagree with each other, but it does mean that we must be polite when we do so. There's never a reason to be antagonistic or dismissive toward anyone; if you think there is, think again before you post. Mobile development is serious business, but it's also a lot of fun. Let's keep it that way. Let's strive to be one of the friendliest communities in all of open source.

The most important rule is friendliness. Remember: disrespect and rudeness are not welcome in our community under any circumstances.

http://source.android.com/community/groups-charter.html

2. Member conduct.

2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

It may be hard at first. Please help those who lack the education by correcting their erroneous ways.

Nuff said.

[Desire HD General] marsdta:
Teichopsia you little good for nothing.... lol I kid.

I try to be polite and helpful as possible,but seeing the same attitude to ignore the rules of searching slowly changes people.

This is just my experience. When I first joined xda,I was fascinated with this large community and all the knowledge and information floating around. I always viewed xda as a place where one should pro actively search and learn,then contribute.

But after a while you see that this is not the case and the same question gets asked over and over. Or you have people state"I don't have time to read 100pages". I can't comprehend that. If your going to modify your phone I would read all I could BEFORE attempting it. I read and learned a whole month before rooting. Once I decided I've given stock its run I was beyond prepared when I rooted.

At first I was eager to help, but slowly I've been less so. Its sad really but I've skipped through many threads where I knew I could help but because I saw no effort in the poster I ignored it. To an extent I get the attitude of those that have been here towards the new people but I rather just go on with my day
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
You would have laughed if you could have seen my face when I read your first line.

I know what you mean. This is my first smartphone and all the research I put into it just to make sure I would get a good phone and that It would work in the country where I live. I skipped the whole blackberry mania (oddly, I dislike anything the masses go for - probably a good thing) and perhaps I'll even take a pic of my last phone (perhaps that way you guys can forgive half of my noobishness :p)

I too was eager to help at first and still am if I can. I have lost my patience a few times reading certain questions that don't merit being accepted by the submit button. While going through this phase I luckily came across a few posts which reminded me of what is was like being a new member (despite the fact that I spent the first month or so reading before my first post).

However, whatever the reasons are do not excuse the answers I have been reading lately from some members. It is as the more they/we complain about the "noobish questions" the angrier they/we get. Thus, resulting in posts that can get quite offensive.

Granted, they should read the op, etc. And all that, but seriously, who are we/you (not you marsdta) to be so arrogant?

We all come from different backgrounds, differences in all manners, including intellectually, but what is happening to common courtesy? Respect? If we don't put a stop to it now, it's going to get out of control.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD General] marsdta:
I can be arrogant at times I admit that. Sadly some of the negative comments don't bother me. Hear me out first. Xda has in a sense become an aspect of me. When I wake up its one of the first things I check. That's another issue entirely. But I do view xda as a community that I have personal investment. So when I see those questions I feel somewhat personally insulted. Like if the poster basically said screw you. Kind of weird.

I think some of those that been here a while might feel the same. So the frustration build and erupts in the threads. I've written a few nasty replies but have caught myself and hit delete before posting.

Common courtesy is not really common on the internet because of that wall of being anonymous. Add in the fact that we all do come from different places things get interesting. personally I would be more tough on the rule breakers while others may be more lenient. In the end the evolution of communication is quite interesting as the internet allows people to be filter less
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Nontheless if you have or haven't been, at least you are able to restrain yourself. I too have been somewhat rude at times.

We could go back and forth argumenting this and that. Which is fun. We both would have valid points (between us, you would probably win the argument :rolleyes:), the bottom line is, not only are there rules to search before posting, there are also rules to respect one another. If one person breaks the rule of not searching, would that give the right to the other member to break the rule of respecting? Sure, we all have our bad days. Yes, we can loose our patience, **** happens. What I can't condone is page after page of 'bashing'. That's just me.

After reconsidering what I was about to become (I'll probably loose my patience again - it's normal), and taking into consideration the little I know about xda, I would have thought this place is about helping others learn. Even if that means to hold their hands for a while until they learn, or just say screw it if they are the type that wants to be spoon fed everything.

All I'm saying is, if someone can't be nice then to do what you do, hit that delete button and ignore them.

On a side note this is my previous cell which was a gift from a friend who got tired of seeing my 'old phone' with a rubber band around it. :p - hopefully after seeing this you guys will be a bit patient with any future questions I may have.

REVIVE A DEAD THREAD!

Lol jk.

I agree with you 110% I always try and be helpful when I answer the new guys cause I know how they feel. My DHD is my first Android phone and I learnt so much from it. I spent two days straight reading and watchng YouTube videos before I had the guts to root and join xda so it can be pretty terrifying when something doesnt work the way you want it to. So yeah bein friendly and helpful can go a long way, especially when you're new and don't know too much about android/rooting/your device

Excellent thread guys. To me it's so simple. If a post is not worthy in your mind, don't respond to it. Someone else might help out. Or perhaps the person asking the question will get frustrated waiting for a response and search it out. There is just never a reason, in my mind, to respond in a nasty way.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikeeey:
Here's some new adapters I've found (atleast I didn't see them there last week). In the title it mentions they work for the Galaxy S III, so I wonder if it actually does. They use MHL in the name too:

I'd post this in the accessories section but aparently new topics can't be made through there?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Randomacts:
Definally won't work.. it mentions One X thus it is 5pin

You need a 11pin one or an adapter
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikeeey:
That sucks, so does that mean an 11 pin adapter wouldn't work on a device that uses 5 pin?

That 5pin to 11pin adapter allows adapters such as this one to work though?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Kuniokun:
Well, maybe you already know this but anyway.

A new stock firmware for Galaxy Tab 7 Plus Wifi P6210 is out. I already flash this new firmware in my tab and I not see any difference from the later but this can have done bug fixes and stuff.

Is up in SamMobile and is United Kingdom region, but here is the link to download it.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Kuniokun:
Is possible. Although I never had that problem with the later ics firmware either. Anyway any bug fixes is welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Terrandroid:
i don't think this is a new update, because i already had one from july 23 and its the same size.

when i looked at when it was last modified on july 16th on both of them. anyone else tried it?

does this still have the brick bug?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vobguy:
The LPL one ( P6210OXALPL_P6210XXLPL_HOME.tar.md5 ) from the 16th is 812,171 KB uncompressed

The LPN one ( P6210OXALPN_P6210XXLPN_HOME.tar.md5 ) from the 23rd is 812,181 KB uncompressed

I haven't looked into the file to see exactly where the change is, but even though 10 KB is a small difference but even one byte can make a big difference in the right place. In something like an install script or config file,10 KB can be a huge difference.

And of course there exists the possibility for changes that didn't change the size (for example, maybe 50 K of stuff added and 40 K removed), it is hard to say without going deeper. A checksum is the only easy way to tell at a glance if a file is different or not (or a binary diff tool )
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Kuniokun:
Agree. Why bother to launch a new revision of the firmware if this wouldn't bring any change?

Also in kernel level, 10kb could be a big difference.

Hello:

Sorry if its a noob question, but i could not find an answer.

It seems like the the Glazed Mods app has been working since the 1.1 version of the rom,

but for some reason in my N7 the app just goes to a site that asks for a password.

I already installed Flash on the device, so im not sure of what i did wrong.

Thanks in advance. Btw, if the rom developer actually gets to read this, i just wanted to say thanks.

I was a huge fan of the Kindle Fire roms, and the N7 rom is even better.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fear of Oneself:
I just got myself a nexus off Google play 3 days ago and absolutely love it, save for jelly bean. (I love everything except for this) I noticed that at 160 characters the messaging application switches SMS to MMS automatically. This also cannot be changed like in ICS.

I tried to replace the messaging application with the stock application from ice cream sandwich and but no dice. I used root explorer to push the app into the app folder under the system entry, restarted into recovery and fixed permissions. I had the phone working without the messaging app appearing in the app drawer.

Is there a ROM that allows you to change the character limit of the SMS to MMS conversion? Or is there a way that gets the old messaging application back?

Thanks

First of all, my sincerest apologies for posting such a question here while this topic has probably been discussed a million times already. And yes, I have gone down the search-the-topic lane first, but after spending over half an hour and not finding a definitive answer, I decided it's probably best to ask. Also, if my questions has ever been discussed in another thread, please link me to it.

So as the title goes, I am trying to figure out more regarding the various basebands and firmwares that is floating in our forum now. For some odd reason, I have fallen significantly behind on this topic and is clueless on what steps I need to take. Here are some of my questions:

As of today, prior to flashing JB on my phone, my baseband is P930-MDM9200B-V10f-OCT-31-2011-XX. From this, I assume two things, that my baseband version is V10f, and that it is very very old, given it's from October of 2011.Going through the CM10 thread, I found a baseband/firmware V10j posted by drumist. I was about to download it when I stumbled on another one, V18e mentioned by mattman86.

Now my questions are:

1) which one should I use? I assumed V18e is the latest so will that be the wisest choice?

2) If I flash the firmware/baseband, when should I do it, before or after flashing JB? And will I have to root the phone again after flashing it?

3) a silly question, but how do I flash the firmware/baseband onto my phone? I have completely forgotten on how to do this.

4) lastly (I hope so), if I do use V18e, where can I download it from?

Thanks again for the help in answering my questions guys. I just plan on updating the phone to JB, and I would rather do any updates I need to do in one swoop, so I think this is the time for me to do so. Thanks again. :)
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
You should use V10f or V10j because those were the two released specifically for the AT&T version of the phone. (I'm assuming you're on AT&T since your profile says you're from the USA.) I'd suggest V18j because it's newer and because I've been using it for months without a problem, but both of them should work and no one really knows the exact differences between them. Don't feel compelled to change your baseband if you aren't having any connectivity problems with your phone.

The other baseband released recently for AT&T is from the ICS update (V20c). This might also be a good choice, but it may or may not work well with the older bootloader (which you have if you have CWM working on your phone -- you would only have the newer bootloader if you installed an LG ICS release via exe or kdz). IIRC, arcee recommended sticking with the basebands that come with GB ROMs for this reason.

I wouldn't suggest using a non-AT&T baseband unless you are having a problem with the AT&T ones.

You can do it before or after, and no you don't have to root or install CWM again. It's a very easy process.

From terminal emulator or adb:

su
dd if=/sdcard/firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

then reboot the phone and you're good to go.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Thank you so very much Drumist. I really appreciate all the explanation. I will probably just update to V10j then. Nothing is wrong with my V10f, but I feel sometimes some things just act up in weird ways n maybe V10j will fix them. Again thank you for all your help.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
BTW, I dunno if your signature is just outdated, but make sure you aren't using Bytecode's CWM anymore. You should be using the official version v5.8.2.0 (ROM Manager is the easiest way to install it).
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Oh yes, it's very outdated lol! I do have v 5.8.2.0 :) Thanks for making sure.
[LG Nitro HD] potatohead:
thanks for the guide :)

I m in asia at the moment, thought I would follow the above steps to flash the P936 V10c firmware and baseband (extracted from HO!NO!'s Bell Optimus Stock).

The flash was successful, but my Nitro HD still shows Unknown baseband upon reboot (MD5 of the downloaded file checks out); no problem with actual usage though, all radios are fine. I reflashed but the problem persists.

No such anomaly when flashing the P930 V10f baseband, any idea what gives? Do I also need the boot.img from P936? I m on CWM 5.8.2.0 ParanoidAndroid 1.5 (dont think that is the problem as it is CM9 based too)

Thanks :)
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Showing "unknown" is not that big of a deal. It should still work just fine. I'm not sure what the exact conditions are that cause it to show that though.
