I was playing around with the DPI changing it to a lower number, the default number is 320 I tried lowering it to 240, the TW launcher will not work, Go launcher works fine but the drop down toggles is locked so you only have access to 5 toggles, so I changed DPI to 280, now every thing works except play store will not let you download apps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messinator:
I left my tablet out in the sun for a considerably long time, battery turning as hot as 130°F. Would that explain loss of battery life? And if so, is there a place where I can buy a battery replacement?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adharma:
Yeah, electronics and excessive heat are never a good combination. Depending on how long it was left in the heat, it may have an effect. This article does a good job explaining the effects temperature and humidity have on a battery:

EDIT: so I can't post links, but you can find the article i'm referring to at BatteryEducation.com, I just did a Google search for "heat effect batteries" and it was the first search result. Check it out.

As far as where a replacement battery can be obtained, a quick Google search would probably solve that (sorry if that sounds sarcastic, its not intended too). Some times iFixit has replacement parts, so that would be a good place to start looking.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpqpqp:
yeah that heat from teh sun definitely kill battery. you're lucky it didn't explode.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Messinator:
I called Google support and they told me to return the device. I was unsure on whether I should, so she emailed me a link so I can request an RMA once I click it.

But I can't find any battery parts. I don't want to send in the entire thing but at the same time I see nothing, even on iFixit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
Hey guy's I haven't had time to pick up and fix my transformer since the whole recovery flashing issue I've finally come back to it but none of the guides to get the new recovery to stick work I've tried a few different methods I can cold-boot Linux and boot into android and drop back into recovery but I can't get anything to stick.

If I run this command: adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

All i get is a message saying no space left on device even thought I got 12GB left on the internal storage.

and I also tried this command: echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0

But I get a syntax error in adb saying that dd is not a recognized command.

Am I missing something big here as it's really annoying I can't even use my tablet properly.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. Recently I bought a new GT P5113. In all the tablet reviews they say that it can play easily almost all AVI, MKV, MP4 etc video files, but when I try to play them with the stock video player I get a message that video is not supported. I dont think that this is normal.

My tab is running the latest firmware update from Samsung ULGB2 4.0.4 or sth like that. Any ideas, except installing 3rd party players? Somebody else with the same problem?

Thanks!

what files exactly wont play and are they stored locally?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsplayer.bspandroid.free&hl=en

try bsplayer, it should hardware playback files with a HW onscreen to let you know.

It plays all my upnp hosted video files just fine, i had some issues with streamed files with the stock player. assuming my p3110 uses the same decoding process.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celeronix:
Thanks for the info. It wont play divx and xvid avi files, also it doesnt want to play mkv and mp4, which is completely strange. The files are stored on the externsl microsd. I wonder if i need to make a hard reset...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Legato Bluesummers:
Coming from a Bionic. Going to get the Dev version of this device once samsung lists it on their site, so I will never have to deal with a locked bootloader. I pay for wifi tethering currently. I push a bit over 10GB a month and am on an unlimited plan. I am the mobile hotspot for me (xoom) and 6 other people I work with at work, as we don't want to use company resources to surf the web. My bionic gets real crappy range for a cubical environment. After like 40 ft or so it gets in and out signal. Clear lines of sight to their cubes. I even have put the bionic on top of the cube to kind of give it a boost and less cubical walls to go through. Still..sucks

What kind of ranges do you all get when wifi tethering. Straight shot, no walls between you. Not asking for someone to do a test. Just if you have a general idea. Cause i really want this phone. But I don't want to screw some people out if the wifi transmit antenna is worse then the bionic is and wouldn't reach em anymore.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoharnu:
I followed the instructions on the first post of this thread, but when I went to restart, my tablet wouldn't get past the "Galaxy Tab 2" splash screen. Whatever it told me to do with the kernel or whatever must've caused the problem. I didn't have CWM at the time. I then followed this thread to try to root it. So, I have CWM if that helps, and my tablet is very likely rooted. But I still can't get past the splash screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and since I can get to download and CWM, I don't think it's bricked (although, I'm not entirely sure what "bricked" means, software/hardware wise).

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" GT-P3113 running Android 4.0.4
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wd5gnr:
If it were me, I'd load the adb drivers and see if I could get into an adb shell. This would do two things. First, it would let you get a logcat which might tell us what happened. Second, it would let you do things to fix whatever seemed to be the problem. If it is the kernel, this probably won't work, but if it is something else it should. You can get into a shell from CWM but that won't get you a logcat of the problem.

If you have CWM have you tried doing a complete wipe from the CWM menu?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dralanmage:
I had this happen to me today. I got a new P3113 because I had a dead pixel. Anyway, my new one came with 4.0.3 and immediately wanted to update to 4.0.4. After this, I used Odin to flash cwm, and was immediately stuck in a boot loop. I checked my source again and saw that there was a new file to flash, and sure enough that did it. I was so worried that I screwed up my new tab, but it works now. My counter now reads 2 flashes.

I used this guide and got the latest espressowifi image:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoharnu:
Thanks. But where can I get the latest version of espressowifi?

EDIT: I tried espressowifi-recovery-5-18.tar.md5, but that didn't work. I think the problem has something to do with the PIT file I flashed, but I'm not sure. Also, I have access to adb now, and logcat just spits out a big stream of stuff. Should I upload it?

EDIT2: Fixed it with ueblg5_espressowifi_recovery.tar.md5. Thanks to both of you! :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dralanmage:
Awesome! That was what fixed it for me too. It really sucked to bootloop my device about 20 minutes after opening it and not see a way out! I'm glad you got yours working!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibicp:
First, if you're stuck in a bootloop, try accessing the recovery mode then wipe data, if this doesn't work, try getting into download mode and flash a firmware file (from sammobile.com or anywhere else)
[HTC One X] jags_the1:
sorry for being noob, preety new to this forum.

i tried flashing faux new kernel + module but how do i know it got flashed successfully?

kernel version ont the phone says

2.6.39.4-gc9932b1

paul@ubuntu#350

SMP PREEMPT

so i got it to flash or no?

followed all the commands properly though
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Yes that is the correct kernel you flashed. It should work, and if it didn't, you wouldn't be able to get into your phone(might have bootloop). He is using a certain machine which generates that name, if I'm not mistaking. But all faux kernels as of what I know is named paul.
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
Yup, that's correct. He used ubuntu to write the kernel and the system name on his computer is Paul.

Did you guys switch to this version of the Galaxy S3? Was it worth it? I'm thinking getting this on At&t as I have an upgrade available. Kind of worried about development not taking off yet? Also, what color led notifications does this version have?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] magn2o:
Not taking off yet? We have CM9/CM10, AOKP (ICS/JB) and a bunch of TouchWiz kangs!

The notification LED is blue, green, red, or white (depending on the notification) by default. With custom ROMs, its configurable though.

I don't miss my Nexus. The camera on it hurt me to take pics. Do I miss AOSP? A little.. but the hardware of the S3 more than makes up for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SysAdmNj:
Thanks for the reply. I think this will be my birthday gift then :). Although another 2 years of marriage to at&t ugghhh.

Is the sg3 screen much better than the sgn screen? Also camera is that much better on the sg3? I've been reading some complaints.

And yes I see this version has good dev support now. Thats pretty good that samsung is using led notifications on this device as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Addictedtothegreenguy:
Hell yes the camera is that much better, the screen is debatable, but my opinion I like the screen on the S3 way better. I can't see the individual pixels on here as I could on the Gnex so it looks better

I think the best shot is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566955 and I am going to try it after my phone charges to 100%, my question is, how stable is this rom on tp2 ? does it work on cdma version? I am using the phone in gsm mode which version should I flash? GSM or CDMA?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I would start with OMGB.

What do you mean which version should you flash? It's the same for both. Did you read the threads, or just make wild assumptions?

As for stability, that's difficult to answer. Everyone has a different opinion. IMHO it's pretty stable.

[Nexus 7 General] Improbulus:
While I've tried most of the usual cloud storage services - Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, SugarSync - I thought I'd try rolling my own, and it works! Yes it's easier with existing services, but just thought I'd have a go just to see if I could..

You can create your own cloud storage on Google App Engine using the open source CloudDav - the instructions on the CloudDav page make it very straightforward if you're familiar with the App Engine Python SDK. Just get the files from the repository (I used TortoiseHg to download to my Windows 7 64 bit machine), create the app on App Engine, edit the downloaded template to create a yaml file with the app name, deploy the app, and that's it.Took me literally just a few minutes.

It's easy to authorise user logins for any Google account, including Google Apps accounts on your own domains (I tested that too), and with WebDav File Manager on my N7 it's working fine.

Obviously it's free of charge only within the limits of the App Engine free quotas, but at least it's another source of cloud storage space.

Only problem was getting an @ character on the keyboard, believe it or not - copy/pasting that symbol was really hard to do, am going to ask separately about that!

Todo... to try with files encrypted with Boxcryptor on my PC. But can't see why it shouldn't work.
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
Those of you with a spare box could look into ownCloud. I think they have a Windows client, but I'm not too sure. I run it on my Linux server in my basement. If you set up a DDNS account (I used no-ip.com) and forward your server port through your router, you can essentially access your server via it's own URL, such as:

http://heresmyexample.zapto.org/owncloud

or whatever it may be.

The nice thing about ownCloud is the data resides on your server and your server alone. Of course, if your server blows up, you're toast, but it's another alternative worth mentioning. Mine has about 300GB free, so I basically have a 300GB cloud server to myself. I talked to a guy who had 8TB in his ownCloud server... can you imagine??

Pros:

You own it (therefore it's your data on your server, no where else)

You manage it (thefore it's your rules)

Your space can be exponentially higher than any other free service

Cons:

You own it (therefore you need to provide a spare box or build a new one)

You manage it (don't go tinkering in any core config files now, ya hear?)

Hard drives aren't free

Anyway, just another on the list of many. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] dmp450:
This is a bit cleaner because your phone sees it as local storage. You can still use your own server at home, but this way you can stream music, videos, book, whatever you want. And all of your apps can access the data. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbiz...GG6dB9uixiT_-zNAopLpSrly2Ggb1bg&feature=inbox
[Nexus 7 General] Improbulus:
Sounds good, ta, must try that. It's mainly the set-up time issue, including setting up backups too of course. It's the old adage about people not always taking backup seriously until they have a disaster... eg I moved to mainly Google Calendar a few years back after my computer died and I lost some days' appointments, as Google are more likely than me to backup (though I do backup my Google Calendar daily too).
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
I hear ya. Backups are key for any situation, no matter how big or small. My ownCloud server *is* my backup server, but that doesn't mean that's the end of the line for backups. My ownCloud info is then synchronized elsewhere so if my actual server blows up, I'm still in good shape. Of course, the average joe may not be as religious about backups as I am, but then again the average joe is unlikely to have any interest in their own cloud server either.

Like I said, just another option on the table, since I have little doubt there's a few users around these parts who might find ownCloud is exactly what they want. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] Dennelly:
+1 for promoting home storage. If you have a old p4 box laying around your house or you can get one for cheap its fairly simple to setup your own fileserver. Really all you need is a computer and a few hard drives to have as much storage as you want. I have about 500gb free on a fileserver that I dedicated to my nexus 7 and Razr device.

If anyone needs steps just let me know..

Hi, I'm wondering what's the difference between having a cloud and a VPN? I mean, what can you do with a cloud that you can't with a VPN? File sharing and stuff like that are already possible with VPN.
[Nexus 7 General] ArcherMP:
It really all depends on how each service is configured. VPNs have a lot more functionality than cloud storage, but they were both designed for different purposes.

If your only looking for file/folder storage go with one of the mentioned Google apps or storage services (like Dropbox).

If you need access to individual computers or programs/apps on your home network then go with a VPN.

VPNs can chew through data plans if your not careful, they have quite a bit of overhead that will make them feel slow as well. On the flipside a cloud storage service will be efficient & easy on bandwidth.

[Nexus 7 General] ArcherMP:
After doing some more looking (thanks again everyone for the discussion) I thought I would add a candidate called GoodSync to the mix. It can incorporate all the cloud services we currently use (dropbox, etc) with our home cloud solution.
