I honestly have never tried to load a leak while rooted in 905. I am pretty sure people were looking for the method to root the leak because it didn't carry over. I can't be for sure on that. Either way, rooting is a cake walk.

As for taking an official OTA update, there have been guys on here talking about it, but if you are aiming to be rooted, get titanium back up, once you have made a full back up your can copy that to an external car or to your computer or where ever you go. Then, for sure, the very worst it possibly can be is FXZ to 902,which is a little scary the first time, but works very very well and is pretty easy too. Then ota up all the way and root and restore from time backup. Probably can get away with doing apps and data as the restore.

If you are comfortable and want a bit more of a challenge, you can go through the fxz with no data loss thing. I am too lazy for that and time backup gets my data back just fine for me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nobe1976:
So you are looking into ICS leaks. If you currently running. 905 rooted and completely stock, I mean all apps that came with the stock moto rom and nothing frozen or deleted, and then easy breeze. Download OTA root keeper from app store and backup root with that app. Download the ICS. 232 leak onto your external sd storage., the one that you can take out. Go in and backup everything you need to keep off of the internal storage, you will need to format it using the phone's settings. If you use safe strap make sure you uninstall it using the app. Disable root with the OTA root keeper app then power off and reboot into stock recovery and install leak. After leak has booted and you are done setting up use the OTA root keeper app to regain root and enjoy ICS goodness..

Once the ICS official is out all you would need to do is fxz back to. 905 using this method http://www.droidforums.net/forum/mo...wngrade-902-no-app-data-loss.html#post2173723

Then apply official update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeay93:
Hello everyone,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Canadian cell phone company I believe) and I am trying to bypass the gesture combination lock. It would be great to do it without resetting the phone to factory settings, but at this point I don't care... whichever way is easier will work.

I've tried:

Installed Android SDK and tried running different commands from the command prompt like "adb reboot bootloader" and "fastbootflash recovery" but the device was not found. I checked my drivers and it seemed to be there. I have the Android folder under App Data>Local and I also have a recovery image in that folder.

Booting from recovery for a facotry reset. Whenever I had the option to boot recovery it would reboot with a logo of an android with a red exclamation triangle.

If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
There is no good reason for trying to *bypass* gesture lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
It depends if this is YOUR phone or a stolen one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
How would one spontaneously forget the gesture THEY imputed themselves...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
Step 1. Return the stolen phone, you thief.

Step 2. There is no step 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
And let's not forget the fact that he doesn't even know what carrier he's with: "Canadian cell phone company I believe". I smell something fishy...

Anywho, there isn't a way to bypass the gesture security feature.

At the bottom there is an "Emergency Call" option. Dial 911 on the dialer that comes up. Tell the person who answers (they are a type of tech support) that you have this phone you cant access because it used to belong to someone else and give them your exact location.

They will promptly show up and assist you with it.

I bought my (now 5 year old) daughter a Lenovo tablet for christmas last year. It has held up well with just a rubber case. TPU maybe? I am not sure of the exact material, but it feels like rubber.

I think the N7 would be kid proof with that type of case, a screen protector... and some firm rules about the use of the device ;)

I saw this but i dont think its thick enough, my 2.5 year old is an oaf. the best way to describe him is; remember the cartoons where that big monster guy runs through a wall and leaves a hole in the wall in the shape of said character, well thats what my son is like.

I'd wait for otterbox to come out with something. I've got one on an iPad (perfect for kids and old people) for my 3 kids and the thing is bomb proof. I couldn't use anything that bulky myself but its the only way to for kids IMO.

Bobj gear has a case coming out here soon.

Otterbox has a case coming soon also.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] gingi999:
Bobj gear looks good, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ShadowOf:
Advice is welcome...

I have purchased a Nexus 7 as Christmas gift for my Family to use. I want to set it up and have my kids (4 year old twins, and 2 year old) be able to use it with "minimal" supervision. Much of the process is account setup and "sandboxing" what they have access to, the other part is protecting the hardware. I have purchased a screen protector to help prevent scratches, now I need to find a case with good protection that doesn't cost too much.

I'd like to keep the cost under $40. So far I have found:

BobjGear Rugged Case: REVIEW | $19 at Amazon

Poetic Revolution Case: REVIEW and HERE | $29 at Amazon

Seidio Active Case: REVIEW | $35 for case only and $45 with cover at Seidio -- slightly too high

I like the bright colors of the Bobj, for kids plus makes it easier to see if it was "misplaced"

I feel the Poetic case provides the best protection with built in screen protector and port covers (keeping things out of ports that shouldn't be there), this is the one I am most interested in and wish Poetic had other colors.

Seidio, I don't see anything it offers over the Poetic other than red, white, or blue options.

I'm aware of Gumdrop and Otterbox, but prices are too high for my taste; I'm not convinced they would provide better protection compared to the ones above.

Any options I'm missing?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bolagnaise:

Ive bought a bobj case for my 2yr olds nexus ill let you know how he gets on
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ShadowOf:
I just wanted to follow up after 6 months and say I bought the Poetic Revolution Case for $29 (available for $19 now at Amazon)

It has been wonderful for the kids (2 four year-olds and 1 two year-old). I have no hesitation handing the Nexus over to any of them.

Poetic has provided excellent customer service. They even sent out a replacement screen due to customer complaints of blurry camera, I didn't complain but still received a replacement screen direct from Poetic!

The port covers do feel fragile, but they nest into the case neatly and the kids are more interested in the apps than playing with the port covers. I have never used the stands or ring, so I can't speak to their sturdiness.

The only thing I wish for were different colors, black is fine but as a kids cover I'd like some bright colors like the bobj case offers.

two thumbs up :good::good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] funkja:
Bumping an old thread because i'm looking for an update to shock proof / kid oriented nexus 7 cases.

My daughter was 9 months old when i gave her a naked touchpad. She is now 3 and in that time it had turned into primarily 2 things, a portal for netflix or a trampoline.

The screen is spidered, the case is cracked and a corner or 2 broken off, randomly the screen will ignore any type of touch input but a simple screen off/on fixes that. and it works perfectly fine for the $99 i got it for initially (actually quite thorougly impressed). It quite frankly is a beast. Having suffered at the hands of an infant for 2 years and to actually SURVIVE? Again, impressed.

BUT this nexus I got as a replacement I hope to have armored.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
I'd go for either

Seidio Active Case - comes with cover & without, but no integrated screen protector (I own this one myself, v sturdy)

http://www.seidioonline.com/asus-google-nexus-7-active-case-garnet-red-p/csk3asn7-gr.htm

Video Review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw1_c6FtnPE

Gumdrop - This has an integrated screen protector but no cover

http://www.gumdropcases.com/google-nexus-7-droptech.html

Video Review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO7-TbLg0z8

Otterbox - Integrated screen protector & cover

http://www.otterbox.com/Google-Nexus-7-Defender-Series-case/asu2-nexus-7,default,pd.html

Video Review http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WABXbQYNvqc

The Seidio & Otterbox are similar in both you can take the cover & clip it on the back when you are using the device. They also both have an integral stand if you want to prop it up to watch a video/film.

On the other hand the Gumdrop has an integrated screen protector as does the Otterbox but lacks a cover.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] naski666:
Thanks for this. Similar issues, unwilling to pay for inferior tablet for kids just because it has a case. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Accessories] erica_renee:
My tablet has taken a beating in the Bob-j Gear case.. its well worth the money..

ONLY Drawback. is the 2 year old may not be Able to push the power/vol buttons.

Guess you could cut a slit in the case where they are.

I have had Otter box and other cases . This one is THE Most drop proof The rounded edges and anti slip (kinda tacky even with wet hands) Will make it much easier for small hands to hold on to .

Mine is the pinkish color one .
[Nexus 7 Accessories] naski666:
Does there otter box come in nice colours though? It might sound a small thing but my girls will want something a bit fancy. I'm probably going to get the bob-j one. Not being able to increase the volume is just another plus point for me!! Just waiting to see if any decent UK deals become available on black Friday. Seen 16gb refurbished on eBay for £99. Would like to get it new for that but we will see. I assume KitKat for tablets retained user profiles?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] erica_renee:
There are a few colors in the otter box case from there website . But the color ones are hard to get like on amazon and Ebay . Well for my Note 2 phone that is.. Not sure about for the nexus 7 . I would assume the same applies

Good Luck Get accident warranty on the tablet. Like from Square Trade..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Amtek:
I use the Amzer silicon case, It has extra thick corners and a bevel around the screen for extra protection against drops. It also has a very wide border around the screen which makes it easier to hold onto. Very grippy and comfortable, makes the tablet feel robust.

Thats the one, but i'd recommend you get it in a dark color since its so soft and rubbery, anything dirty that touches it will leave a mark. Though it washes easy with soap and water.

There is a way to run Windows 7 games in Windows 8. I found it in another forum:

1. Please use x86 games for Windows 8 x86 & x64 games for Windows 8 x64. Otherwise the patch will not work.

2. Copy 'Program Files\Microsoft Games' folder from the x86/x64 install.wim or a working x86/x64 installation.

3. Paste it in 'Program Files'.

4. Copy 'cardgames.dll' from system32 of a x86/x64 install.wim or a working x86/x64 installation.

5. Paste it in 'FreeCell', 'Hearts', 'Solitaire' & 'SpiderSolitaire' folder.

6. Apply the patch.

7. Done.

**For multiplayer games (Backgammon, Checkers & Spades)**

1. Copy cmncliM.dll & zgmprxy.dll from system32 & paste them in system32 of 8.

2. Copy cmncliM.dll.mui from system32\xx-xx & paste it in system32\xx-xx of 8. (xx-xx represents your os language; for me its en-us)

[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
I was wondering if someone on rooted stock with TWRP could see if chainfire 3D works on the infinity. I'd try it myself but I want to keep my bootloader locked for warranty purposes and as such don't have backups as a safety net if it bootloops.

I mainly want it for its night mode filter, so if someone can recommend a less invasive way to achieve that, that would also be appreciated.

Edit: Decided to just risk bricking and installed it. It doesnt bootloop, but the nightmode on it does not work. If someone can recommend an app that makes the screen only show the red portion of RGB, I'd greatly appreciate it. Not really expecting something like that to exist though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] armanisafarai:
how did you make it work? CWM? I am on latest WW with root only, no cwm or unlock. I tried installing driver but after a few minutes CF3D said, "installing mounting /system read/write" and then after that it said "ERROR could not write to /system".
[Asus Transformer TF700] RalleD:
Try Lux Dash instead. Has a mode called "Astronomer mode" (see screenshot as example). By the way it manages the auto brightness better than the Asus tool.

Should I ..

A: just suck it up and live with minor screen creek in corner and scratch. Next time install screen protector!

B: send it in for my rma based on the screen lift issue and hope they don't reject based on this scratch. What's the penalty/cost for getting a rejected rma?

Im pissed because google took their sweet time at getting back at me so I couldn't install screen protector. Almost sure I am going to get a warranty from square trade now and getting a pelican case. Oyyyyy veeeyyy

Ok, so my wife just sent my new One X through the washing machine, and I think I'm completely f@#ked. From past experience, they don't usually recover fully, and the first thing you're supposed to do is remove the battery.....good trick with this phone.

So, she's now buying me a new one, but my question is, any ideas what a water damaged One X, in very good condition is worth these days?? I tired ebay, nothing listing for damaged ones yet, but past I have seen damaged SGS2's selling on ebay before. I'm just wondering if it's worth the bother, or just send it to be recycled?

it doesnt, but you can take it apart and disconnect it. and yes bag of rice, more rice the better. if your anal about reviving it you could disassemble it in pieces, put in rice for 2 days, then soak it in 99% alcohol then air dry, and put back in rice for 2 more days.

the first 2 days will draw most of the water out, the alcohol will then clean most of the corrosion if any, and draw away more water, then the final 2 days will completely dry it. so long as nothing fried...itll work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JSLEnterprises:
- Use a tab of some sort (plastic, not metal) and pop off the body (its held in place w tabs along the sides

- lift the bottom, and slide it out of the top end.

- disconnect the battery lead (since it's now accessible)

- put a section of paper towel down on half the bowl of rice.

- place the digitizer/circutry portion of the phone on the piece of paper towel on the rice

- add another layer of paper towel on top

- cover with rice.

the back cover (that contains the speaker and mic section) can be dried manually and out in the air.

after a day, pull the digitizer/circutry out of the rice/paper-towel-sandwhich and press the copper power button at the top after reconnecting the battery lead.

It should power up now (if it didnt blow any resistors while in the wash)
