[Nexus 7 General] kitch9:
Whatever man, but some of you dudes looking a test patterns all day whinging that your device that you bought for a price less than some mp3 players doesn't have perfect colour reproduction gets very tiresome very quick.

Let me tell you how it is. The screen will not be the best on the market, in fact at the price you'd expect it to be one of the worst, but it isn't. Its not perfect, but for the price its pretty good and the headslappers that expect it to reproduce every colour perfectly along with perfect blacks, quite frankly need to get a grip.
[Nexus 7 General] shadeygeezer:
Did you watch the video?

Its a nexus 7 vs a kindle fire.. not an iPad..?
[Nexus 7 General] charlesky:
Are you talking about the bit where the video's narrator says "Then again you get those nicer, slightly nicer-looking colors with the Google Nexus 7"?

...

So what's your point?

Some people have a problem with their screens, these aren't all the same problem and there are several factors playing a role. While these people have come on to the forum to moan, these are still isolated problems and in general the Nexus 7 has a very good display. I've tested mine and it surpasses anything I'd expect from a mobile device. The iPad3 is better in general (mostly because of its larger colour gamut and higher res), but there are still plenty of people with iPads who're moaning that they got a lemon.

If you got a bad one then that sucks, send it back and get a replacement. But in general the Nexus 7's display is extremely good.
[Nexus 7 General] shadeygeezer:
Indeed..

My screen is great - nice and bright, good colour - and almost back light bleed free...

So I can't complain :)
[Nexus 7 General] IceColdKila:
If you watch the video its actually a direct comaprison vs the Kindle fire, I posted it because its alarming that the Nexus 7 looks worse fast forward to 8:34.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
After looking at a Razr Maxx most of the day, the screen looks fantastic. After looking at my GNex when I use it on the weekends, the screen on the Nexus looks fantastic. It is a 200 dollar device, however when compared to other 200 dollar devices, it is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. I have no problems whatsoever. The screen is bright, text is crisp, and videos look fantastic. What more do you want? Complaining because the screen isn't a retina display, or because it doesn't look as good as the new iPad is ridiculous. People pay a premium for that screen so it is obviously going to be better. You knew exactly what you were getting when you bought it (not as far as defects, as in screen resolution). This argument is along the same lines as the lack of expandable storage argument. If the storage and resolution wasn't good enough for you, why buy it?
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
Not that I disagree with you by any stretch of the imagination, but I wouldn't doubt that *some* reports of screen issues are actually true, whereas the vast majority of them are absolutely fine. I have yet to come across a Nexus 7 with a screen as some users have described... everything I've personally seen has been great. I personally have 2 and about 6-8 friends/co-workers have a Nexus 7 as well, all with identical results.

So there again, I agree with you, but I would actually go as far as to say the screen on the Nexus 7 is by no means a budget screen but it's actually REALLY nice, but I wouldn't discount what some users are saying - maybe a few lemons exist? After all, the only people complaining would be the ones having the issue - for the hundreds of thousands of other users who are loving their screens, they won't be investing time to register on forums just to give it a :good:, unlike other users like myself who just happen to be here and posting out of my own interest.
[Nexus 7 General] kitch9:
It looks worse even though the reviewer says its looks better?

There's really no helping you people is there?

No i can deifnitly confirm serious color issue with the N7

download display tester and go to the dead pixels tests, RED is perfect, Blue is perfect, Green is a non sense!!! its lime not green

Hi Guys

I have an International SGS3 and it is still in it's stock status. I don't want to loose the update OTA nor via Kies and also I don't want to trigger the binary counter.

Q1-How can I perform NAND backup to my stock phone without loosing all of these..?

Q2- Does unlocked boot loader with custom recovery(CWM) boot via Android SDK will trigger the the binary counter ?

* when reboot from the custom recovery (cwm) via Android SDK the phone will automatically restores the stock boot-loader
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
you cant make nandroid backup with stock phone/recovery.

rooting gives you cwm recovery which in turn triggers binary counter.. but there are many ways to reset binary counter.

hey all

im pretty new with Androids and flashing.

How can one brick their phone when flashing??

Can you brick it simply by flashing too many roms too many times? Whats the limit?

Or is it just by flashing incorrectly, or incorrect rom/kernel/modem combinations or by flashing and not wiping data or flashing certain roms (how do you know which are safe to flash?)

Most importantly - can you UNbrick a phone? Does it work 100% of the time?

Just trying to figure out the boundaries to play within!
[General Topics] Uhnaan:
When you modify your handset in any way you risk bricking. The easiest way to brick a phone while flashing is to lose power or disconnect the handset while it's doing it's thing. When your phone is bricked...well its about as useful to make calls as a brick that's why...forget it. If a phone is really bricked its bricked that's it.
[General Topics] mikef:
You didn't give a phone model so take this with a grain of salt. The term "bricking" is used differently by a lot of people.

Just flashing a ROM or kernel or mod is generally not likely to brick a phone even if it fails since you should be able to boot into recovery and reflash.

I am not aware of a limit on how many times you can flash or reflash. Some of the newer phone apparently have counters but it looks like XDA'ers are figuring out ways past that already.

A failed flash of a recovery app such as ClockWorkMod or 4EXT or radio or firmware could be a much more serious issue depending on your model phone.

Again, depending on the phone model, unbricking may be possible.

Since every phone is different, the best and most reliable source of information is going to be your phone's forums.
[General Topics] duleim:
thanks for the replies...

ive got a samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100.

Does it have a counter??

I change my mind about roms like my gf changes her mind about shoes!
[General Topics] mikef:
No, that is an slightly older phone at this point so no worries. You should be fine, just always remember to verify the MD5 checksums of files when they are provided. There are many PC apps for this and Android apps. I know ClockWorkMod and 4EXT also have this built in as well.
[General Topics] duleim:
are you able to shed a bit of light on how to verify the MD5 check sums?

Also ive seen a few threads about backing up the efs folder - is this vital and necessary and will it help unbrick a phone?

thanks
[General Topics] mikef:
Sure, in ES File Explorer or File Expert on your phone, long press the file and then Details or Properties, and you can see the MD5 checksum or the calculate button to get it. It is a long string of letters and numbers and if it matches, you know you have a complete and valid download or copy.

Sorry, not sure on the EFS folder, that might be related to your phone. If it is on the internal memory, then a CWM or 4EXT backup will get it. If it is on your SD, then I recommend backing that up as well by plugging it into a computer and copying all files, including any hidden files.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gravitywell:
Hey everyone. I wish I had done some research, lol.

I picked up a HOX yesterday at a retail ATT store. I also picked up a new BT headset (Motorola Elite Sliver) In the car ride home, I had issues with the BT not being clear when trying to talk to my friend. When I got home, I called my dad and it had better clarity for him (The people I call report the issue, i hear fine.) As I walked around a little, I noticed I couldn't get more than 10 feet from the phone without risking losing my BT connection.

I tried calling from the car ride home today, again having the same issue. (People I call reporting it's staticy and scratchy sounding.) So I swung by the ATT store, they swapped out the motorola, and I'm having the same issues with the new one.

Also, i wanted to point out that I haven't had any issues with WiFi. I've read about that problem, but so far, haven't seen any symptoms.

My phone is a HT25TW. I'm not sure exactly what I should be doing to get this fixed. Obviously, I can return it to ATT, but am I looking for a HT26 or HT27? Are those even out?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Berserk87:
Same problem on my rogers one x.

HT24

I can't move my phone more than 5 feet away from any bluetooth stereos/speakers without it dropping every couple seconds.

Contacted htc and all they said was to factory reset the phone, obviously didnt fix it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dalvarez0312:
Maybe its motorola issue. Try swapping for a different brand like plantronics. My Bluetooth works fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gravitywell:
I used my old JavaOne. The clarity is better, but I can't get further from the pho e than 5-10 feet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bimmernut318:
I have a little BT speaker that I can't get more than 2' from with my HOX which is pretty pathetic, my Cappy and iPhone can get 15-20' without issue. BT in my truck works fine but phone is pretty close to the head unit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blessedswine:
my wifes motorola i had the same problem with, My HOX only would allow me to get 5 feet from it, went to my second gen Jawbone and i was able to get about 10-15, funny thing is it will connect to my blackberry bluetooth media adapter for my surround sound with no problem at 20'
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UseYourIllusion:
It's an issue with Motorola headsets and the One X. I know from experience as I work in a AT&T retail store and deal with this everyday. I have the Sliver as well and it wouldn't work right with my One X so I went back to my Jawbone Era and I have no issues. Plus the noise cancellation on the Sliver is terrible so it didn't bother me to switch back as I'm frequently in noisy environments
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Berserk87:
I work in an electronics store, and i have paired my phone up with almost every bluetooth device in the store.

I can't get over 5' on any of them without it becoming intermittent, or dropping.

jvc, alpine, pioneer, monster, clarion etc... all the same issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gravitywell:
I've tried my old jawbone and two Motorola Slivers. I can exchangeny Sliver for the new Jawbone. But even with the old JB, I couldnt get beyond 10ft away.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gravitywell:
Should I look at exchanging the phone completely since I've had it for 48hrs? Or just the BT? It both?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
try turning off wifi and see if bt improves.....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gravitywell:
I turned off WiFi and it didn't seem to change. I measured, I get exactly 5'5" when it starts to distort. Through my apartment, open air.
[General Questions and Answers] m0e_03:
If you have Titanium Backup installed on your previous version, doing a non-wipe install could stop the process of Titanium Backup. You might receive a pop-up notification that Titanium Backup has stopped working (ForceClose). Reinstalling the app might lead to an "insufficient storage" error — when an app is uninstalled or modified, it leaves a .odex residue file which causes the error. So all you have to do is delete the .odex file of Titanium Backup in the system.

I shall not be held responsible for any damage to your device if

you

had chosen to follow the steps below. Cheers!! ;)

Here's how to do it:

## Make sure your phone is rooted. :good:

1- Use any file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer, etc.

2- go to /data/app,

3- find and delete "com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex".

4- Now you can install Titanium Backup again!

[General Questions and Answers] Saint AAI:
If deleting ODEX files does not work, or there are none. Try the following:

1. In TitaniumBackup press menu, then press preferences under the general section.

2. Next, under backup protection settings, press backup folder location.

3. When the new menu appears, press back to get to a file browser. It should say something like /storage/emulated/0 for the path.

4. Press back again and then select legacy, so the path is now /storage/emulated/legacy

5. Then scroll to your TitaniumBackup folder and select it.

6. Then press use the current folder, and press yes when the popup appears.

Then try doing your normal backup procedure.

I've had this problem for days now on my HTC One and it has been doing my head in. Found a similar solution in the galaxy S4 forums, so thought I would share as this solved it for me.

If you have done like me, and tried deleting ODEX files, changing path of folder to /legacy and trying reinstall and still get insufficient free space, then try changing file location back to emulated/0 i told my friend about it and he said he found on a recent post to change back to emulated/0 so i cant credit that post right now, but changing file location back to emulated/0 should solve the problem.. thanks

OH BTW im running PA 3.99 RC-2 with franco's r184.. so if your running earier versions of those you may need to stick with emulated/legacy.. all in all try both paths and which ever works for you is where your power lies ;)

[General Questions and Answers] buu1152:
Hmm OK well have you guys tried using both file locations? Emulated/0 and emulated/legacy? If not try both one should work, if both don't work create an "update.zip" for safety (safety cuz a factory reset will not delete your currently backed up apps and folders) so if you end up erasing your entire SD card at least you have a safe file you can refer to.

Download SuperSu from the Play store. After you install, run it. It will say your binary needs to be updated. Try the standard update. If that doesn't work use the clockworkmod/TWRP method. Phone will boot into recovery, flash and reboot. If all goes well, open Tibu, give it SU permissions and try. I tried EVERY solution on XDA. Nothing but this worked.

TB backup mix up

This was a good solution and thank you for it, the only problem is that this way I can not use my externarl SD card where I have enough space, and although there was one other suggestion of changing a root file I did not do it, as I am not that professional, is there a simple way of settings that it will make possible to save my TB backups on external sd card? Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] m0e_03:
Hi there avadis, to select a different path for you titanium back up..

- open up TB

- hit menu key, and select preferences

- scroll down and tap on "backup folder location"

- hit the back key till you get the options as in the screenshot, then select your desired storage n location (which in your case is external_sd) / sdcard1

- tap on the preferred storage, head to the desired folder..and tap on "use the current folder" to confirm.

- that should do the trick.
[General Questions and Answers] avadis99:
Thank you for your reply, but the problem is in that, since November last year TB is not saving files on your external card at all, it is saying this card is not writable, and even if you choose, it gives insufficient space...

I wrote to TB but received no reply from them, and now I HAVE to same only on my internal phone card, if it is not corrected I will cease using TB as this way it is inconvenient. There was advice of changing root file "pltaform.xml" but I am afraid to do so and spoil other things.
