[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 570Nexus7:
Didnt get it.

I didnt get it and i preordered from google. The only reason i know is because i wanted to delete it because i use my transformer prime for movies . Dont want to over load my nexus 7 with a lot of bs.But still i dont know why i didnt have it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sWuRv:
I got my device from office depot and I got both the credit and the movie. The only way to watch the movie is in the Google movies and tv app. Did you check there? Also, the movie doesn't take up any space on your device, it is streamed each time you watch it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
This is not true. All Nexus 7's get the free content if you are in the States, preorder or not (mine was not a preorder).

If you are in other countries, some of the content is changed or not available at all (ouside of the UK for example).

They want you to get the free stuff including the $25 google bucks... it gives you the chance to try something that you might not otherwise try on your own. Thats why it is a Book, a Movie, a Song... and $25 google dollars for apps... each of the selling zones.

They want to make money on people buying content with their device like what Amazon wanted with the Kindle Fire.

On the Kindle Fire, they gave everyone a free Prime membership for that same purpose...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdninja:
I got mine at Staples yesterday and the movie was loaded onto mine. It was not pre ordered
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c0d3x42:
I picked up an account n7 at HMV in the UK and transformers was indeed on the device when I started up for the first time. Don't think it was downloaded as I was using a 3g tether at the time.

Edit:

I take that back, I didn't realise (never having tried a film from the play store before) that films appear to be streamed, at least it wouldn't play without a wifi connection.

This is to show you how to disable the capacitive buttons so they will no do anything other then light up if you so please.

Generally this would be used with the onscreen NAV keys like that in the Galaxy Nexus.

I am not responsible if this causes your phone to
make first contact and bring forth a race of beings that kills us all.
I am also not responsible if this damages your phone in any way, at all.

I have done this on my SGSII LTE (Skyrocket) i727R and suffered NO issues.

I am using this on the AOKP Milestone 6 ROM.

I suspect that this would work with other ROMS and even other phones with no issues.

STEPS:

NANDROID/OTHER BACKUP!!

Using Root Explorer (or other file explorer) go to /system/usr/keylayout

MAKE A BACKUP OF "melfas_touchkey.kl"

Edit "melfas_touchkey.kl"

Add a # in front of each line, there should only be four.

Save the file and reboot your phone.

Original:
Key 158 BACK Virtual
Key 139 MENU Virtual
Key 172 HOME Virtual
Key 217 SEARCH Virtual

Altered:
#Key 158 BACK Virtual
#Key 139 MENU Virtual
#Key 172 HOME Virtual
#Key 217 SEARCH Virtual

Adding a # in front of the line disables that line of code and the function.

Now if you want the lights gone too, the only way I know of so far is to try an app that inst 100% compatible called "Keep the lights on".

The app will add a widget that you can disable the lights with.

For me, they just turn on again when coming out of standby.

[Edit]So this is also posted in RootzWiki, found it after posting.

Personally I don't see a reason to disable them but maybe you could alter this to change the function of certain keys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CoogiMane1996:
Hey man i seen your method and i tried it but, it didn't work for me and i checked the file after a reboot and the buttons still work even thought I am trying to disable it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
I figured this out a couple months ago when I was only using virtual buttons. XD

Did you save the file? And as the right name?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tito475:
Hey guys,

Sorry but it seemed like this was the only way to figure something out. I've had my MT4GS for an year now and i've been trying on new roms since the day i got it. All in hopes that i would find one that actually works. I'm tired of all the Alphas and frankly i'm tired of them. It seems like everyone and their mother has an Alpha ROM out. I'm not making this up, maybe you guys have seen it too. A few weeks ago, someone released a ROM (Alpha) saying, the phone, the wifi, and the camera doesn't work. I was thinking, "why would you release this, what can the phone do with this ROM?" :confused:

Enough about my rants, these are the ROMs that i've actually used for a considerable amount of time and the problems.

Bulletproof- It had huge syncing problems and it would crash. (used it for 3 months)

Virtuous Inquisition- Crashed very often and the battery life wasn't as good, no trackpad support. (used it for 6 months)

Cyanogenmod 9 (Tried all Alphas)- Half the apps don't install from the market saying "its not supported on this device" (WTF??) (Used it for 3 weeks)

Virtuous Infinity- Loved it, not a big fan of sense but this was good but the connection kept dropping out, sometimes during calls. (used it for a week)

I got fed up and went back to Virtuous Inquisition. It was crashing but it was the most stable one that i've used so far.

all i'm looking for is one that has the basic functions and has a good battery life. I remember the days of CM7, where the battery lasted FOREVER. It doesn't have to be that good but as long as it is descent.

anyone have any recommendations?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
What do you mean by crashing? I have used Bulletproof for over 6 months and it never crashes. It is the most stable rom I have found. Are you perhaps over or underclocked? That can cause issues. Also, there are lots of other threads that ask this same question, so why not post in one of those, instead of starting a new thread about the same topic that has been covered many many times.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Search function, maybe?

MikTouch

Just because it's labeled as an alpha doesn't mean it isn't. Some people just label it that so they don't have to deal with idiots when they complain.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tito475:
sorry. I did look. They all are all outdated. I was looking for something more up to date. (maybe an ICS)

thank you. and sorry. I know why they are labeled Alpha. I am a developer myself. I was just looking to find which "Alpha" is actually really good.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
CM9. If you're that worried about Play, just download either the Amazon Appstore or SlideME.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bbf:
Are you serious? Neither Amazon Appstore nor SlideME are equivalent to the google play store for number of apps. Meh.

I'm looking into getting a MYT4GS, since there seem to be no new phones that have a slide out keyboard, fast dual core processor and a screen with at least a 800x480 resolution. :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I'm sorry. People care about the NUMBER of apps instead of the QUALITY of apps? Maybe people should get an iphone.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Don't walk in and complain and then backpedal, saying that you were just looking for the best alpha. I'm not a developer, but I still think your thread post was a kick in the nuts.

You know what you're entitled to around here? Stock 2.3.4. That's it. Everything else is gravy. So sit down, open your wallet, and shut up.

There NEVER should be a rant about ROMs. NEVER. What sense is it to complain about gifts? Do you receive your Christmas presents and then proceed to take 30 minutes to complain about them?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
I just have to say that the other app stores are not as good as play. It isn't about having the most apps. The apps from the Amazon store are not updated as frequently as the ones in the play store, and the developers are not getting paid properly, that is why the apps in the Amazon store are not as plentiful or maintained as frequently.

http://www.padgadget.com/2011/08/02/amazon-caught-not-paying-android-app-developers-as-advertised/

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/amazons_growing_appstore_problem_android_developer.php

So, it is a big problem that has nothing to do with wanting the most apps. It is bad for the Devs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I also cited the SlideME market, which has frequently-maintained apps.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
Well, I still think that not having the play store is a big problem. I want everything that Android has to offer, I personally like having books, movies, t.v. shows, mags, and apps at my fingertips one of the major reasons why I own a smartphone. Telling someone to get an Iphone because they want everything the Play store has to offer isn't really constructive or very nice. I love all the roms that our devs have made for our phone, but I choose to use Bulletproof so that I can have everything working that came with this phone. People value different things in roms, I think it is not appropriate to put someone down because they want the market. I would love to run one of the ICS roms, but for now the best fit for me is a Gingerbread rom because everything is working.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jjbz:
OK. If you've:

a. had the MT4GS for a year,

b. are tired of all the "Alphas,"

c. are a developer,

...maybe you should make your own "Alpha." This place is called XDA Developers, not XDA whine-and-complain-about-alphas-and-say-I'm-a-developer-to-add-credibility-to-my-name. If actually ARE a developer, you should be ashamed of yourself for disparaging the work of the MT4GS devs.

You joined XDA to complain that xmc is trying to get stable Jelly Bean on our device? Seriously?

The MT4GS is one of the few dual-core phones that never received an official update to ICS. The devs here managed to get stable ICS on our device. They CHOOSE to share their work with you. You are entitled to nothing. You should know that. You are a developer, aren't you?

Actually, please don't answer that question. Nothing you say will change the fact that you joined XDA to complain about free stuff.

+1. It's ridiculous how ungrateful some people are.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
No, I haven't checked it out in a while. I was just referring to the issue of the Amazon and Slideme markets being suitable replacements for Google Play. Didn't you say in an earlier post "CM9. If you're that worried about Play, just download either the Amazon Appstore or SlideME." ? I am confused as to why they would be worried about Play if it is working?

I will give CM9 another look as soon as I have some time. Also for the record, I am very satisfied with the level of development for this phone, and have never complained about the choices of roms. I just took issue with the whole market replacement issue.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tito475:
I'm sorry if it came off like that. I didn't join this to complain. I was simply asking if anyone has found any roms that they would recommend.

When i said i'm tired, i meant that there are 20+ roms just here at XDA, and I dont want to go through each one for a week only to find out it wont work and i need a new one. So i was asking for RECOMMENDATIONS!

I wasnt ranting at ppl. I know how hard it can be to make a ROM. The ppl at places like CM, Virtuous and other places work their butts off to do these releases. And to pay my respects, i download them and test them thoroughly and send them reports about un-reported bugs that they might have missed.

.

For example, on CM9, you can't download apps like "Android Online Radio" and "Cessna 172 Checklist FULL". They (CM) haven't mentioned the problem, so i reported it to them.

and when i said im a developer, i didnt mean i do ROMs (There are other things you can develop FYI)

now all that put aside, i was ranting about one guy, who had that "nothing working" alpha.

Let me try it again before ppl start yelling at me... I want some HELP with ROMs. Could someone RECOMMEND me a ROM that is stable.

for exapme. rorytmeadows(first post), and yellowjacket1981 actually recommended ROMs. Then it was just bash on the new guy...

and yellowjacket1981, mine cashed every time i tried to sync my dropbox or facebook. Gmail was the only thing that synced without crashing.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
Hmm, that is strange, I have no problem syncing my facebook or dropbox. Are you Son? if so did you flash the kernel through adb? My bf is son, and didn't flash the kernel through adb, and he had all kinds of problems until I flashed it through adb for him. I honestly have had zero problems running Bulletproof, that is why I have stuck with it so long.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tito475:
I'm S-Off. I flashed it with CloackworkMod 5.0.2.7.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
I am soff and have that same recovery, I wonder why you are having these issues. You are not over or under clocked are you? Strange. When my bf gets home I will ask him if he has syncing problems like you have described.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
Wow! Rude! I never even complained about the Android market, so what are you talking about? Perhaps you should re read the thread, and show me where I complained about the Android market. All I did was point out you were being rude to another poster, by telling them to get an Iphone, because they did not like your alternative market suggestions. I then pointed out problems between the devs and the Amazon market. I also pointed out that you shouldn't put someone down for wanting Play. So please show me where I complained about the market. I never even asked a question, so what are you talking about? Please refrain from cursing, it shows you have a small vocabulary.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
You're taking this topic off-track, and you have it backwards about my sentence-enhancers. Anyone who supports such censorship are the ones who have a miniscule vocabulary, IQ, and probably ask if people "would like fries with that."

You are accusing me of complaining about stuff that I never complained of. Why are you attacking me for something I did not do? I was in here actually trying to help the op with his issue. Since you cannot point out where I was complaining about the market, I can only conclude that you don't know what you are talking about.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Ugh. The trolls are back.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
So, I asked the bf if he has ever had any crashing problems while using Bulletproof, specifically while syncing Facebook and Dropbox, and he has not had that problem either. He told me that he has never had the rom crash on him, so perhaps you had a bad flash, or download of the rom? Maybe you could try downloading and flashing it again. I hope you can find a rom that will fit your needs.

Devs keeping this great phone going

Just wanted to give a big Thank You to the Devs here.

I've had this phone for 7 1/2 months now, so I've had an urge for a new phone for about a month now. Looking into it, there is nothing out there.

One S? No removeable battery or sd card slot? No Camera shutter button and only 3 capacitive (not physical) buttons? Slippery and too tall = No Thanks

GS3? looks like a great phone, but I just can't go to that size and price.

So it will be hard to move on from the mt4gs hard keyboard, trackpad and what I think is the perfect form factor.

So I greatly appreciate the Devs keeping this phone exciting.

I used ICS Splashed for a few months and really enjoyed it.

Now I've moved on to CM9 and having a great experience with it.

May I suggest, if some apps cause erratic behavior or aren't available (I've never had that problem) - isn't it worth finding alternatives to have a great ROM experience? It's not like having to switch to Symbian or RIM or something!

btw The ROM that "has a lot of things not working" is specifically labeled as a DEV Rom for experimental purposes.

^ second.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] onebornoflight:
As far as stable roms i've been bouncing between CM9a6 when I'm in an AOSP mood and MikXE when feeling Sense-y. Both have stable Nand backups on my SD card so it's simple... And I ALWAYS wipe cache/dalvik/data/system in recovery twice lol. One thing i've found that gives me stable roms is the V6 supercharger (by Zeppelinrox) with fix permissions running on boot along with the "engine flush" option on boot.

If you like Gingerbread... Try Miktouch, and if you want to overclock there was an OC capable kernel floating around..

As of right now i'm back on MikXE because CM9 developed a weird screen bug that would happen whenever i'd slide my phone open... Again. The screen would just go black and lock... Still eager to try Virtuous Infinity but haven't been able to get a stable download since it's 450 something MB and i have no wifi:/

Check your Google account on the Internet and change the default language from there.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emreis:
The language is set to English (United States). But just to be sure I changed it and changed it back, the problem still persists (and as I said my phone still has the US market)

Before I did the reset I also checked all my location settings, they were all either automatic (in which case I tried manually changing to US), or set to US.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamin13:
Odd. I'm not sure what could be causing that issue. I wonder if turning the GPS on would change anything. Maybe clear all data pertaining to the Play Store, disable the Play Store, reboot, enable the Play Store?

I just noticed, after reseting my time was automatically set to British Summer time (changed it but no effect on the store). How does this thing even determine that, GPS some WiFi way?

Thank You!!!!!!

After spending some uncomfortable hours very early this mourning thinking that both my phone and tablet had been breached, I found your post. Thank you for sharing.... kept me from hitting the panic button full-on since I had also checked Google Play via the web browser on my tablet and there the currency was correct. (Sidebar: Husband had been having issues a few hours earlier accessing WSJ and Linked in on his computer as well.) Took my phone off WiFi and put it on 4G and voila! - Google Play returned to normal with the correct currency and offerings. A call to our ISP during biz hours confirmed that they has made a switch due to their own server issues and once their servers were back up, we'd be back to normal.

Who'd have thought it could be something like where the router is looking at for data?! Thanks again!
