[Nexus 7 General] got556:
Trying to talk the g/f into one.

She hasn't really played around w/ my 7 inchers....just my 10 inchers (insert snickers lol)

But I've gotten her an SGT 10.1 and Xoom in the past and she loved those. She says she needs to play around with the N7 more before deciding whether to get that or a new 10".

I'm really hoping she chooses the N7 b/c the new 10" are stupid pricey right now.

So glad I don't have to worry about her being an iCult fangirl. And to top it off tonight she made her first milestone step by flashing her own rom w/out me around. She's making baby steps but building more confidence every day with her Gnex. She's seen me soft and hard brick a few devices and the countless hours spent trying to correct the issue and she's afraid I'll kill her if she does it to her devices. I just told her, well if you brick it, you'll just have to be patient til we can get it un-bricked or til you have the money to buy a new device. :P

OK. Let me toss this softball up to the plate. My wife said 7 inches is too small and prefers 10". :what:

[Nexus 7 General] Legato Bluesummers:
When I bought my xoom I gave my wife my Samsung galaxy tab... The original. She uses it on and off. Its buggy and slow and I honestly feel bad she has been using it so long. When I told her about the nexus 7 she got excited. So i knew I'd buy her one. Last week she was ready to chuck the galaxy tab cause no Internet browsers would work. I told her to wipe it and things were fine again. But this happens a lot to her, and always freezing or locking up or just being weird.

I bought her a nexus 7 Friday and her birthday is the 10th. But i don't think I will make her wait. No I will just make her earn it like I do all good gifts. Leaves scraps of paper with riddles or clues to the next riddle or clue... And then eventually lead her to the hiding spot... Which was in plain sight all along... But i distracted her attention with all the clues. Win! Always amusing to watch her try to find everything

I brought home my N7 after I sold my TF101 and my girlfriend called the N7 the 'money waster' and asked why I bought it.

Guess she won't be getting any tablet love from me any time soon! Lol.

My wife wants one since I got mine. She's kind of an iPhone person (shameful I know) so I've mentioned nothing to her about the 7" iPad rumors and never intend to.

I bought the N7 for my fiance so that he would stop stealing my Nook Tablet for his commute, but I love it so much that I just ordered a second so I can have my own toy to play with. Now that he has discovered that he can use it as a DSLR controller, I may never be able to pry his from his grubby little hands.

Hi

I have just changed from the HTC Desire HD and loved the standard News and Weather App and want to install this to my Galaxy S 3 but cant find how to copy or download it.

I have searched the web and could only find thispocket-lint.com/news/42258/best-android-weather-apps-2011 which says News and Weather which looks identical to my Desire HD Version but no download link and I think that's the best news and weather app I have seen.

Anyone know how I can download it or move it from HTC Desire HD as it does not seem to be in my apps.

Thanks

Roy

Ditto.... for me.

What I find amusing is that you have made 6 posts about the Nexus 7, the first being July 20th.

A couple about trying to use VPN with pptpd, 3 about keyboards, and 1 about how to spend your free $25 Google Play dollars you got when you purchased the Nexus 7.

NONE about slowness or anything related to your OP here.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JD914:
Response time? Are you serious? Are we talking about the Nexus 7? By the way anything you get that isn't a nexus 7 is a downgrade, Best tablet ever. I'm going to be with this for a very long time.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellz99:
Well I'd really rather keep it. Even typing this I'm having to hit keys multiple times. Very annoying.

No one else having these issues at all?

No issues here, using swiftkey.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
I most likely will stay with the N7, but *IF* I were to trade this in, I would most likely get the Galaxy Note tablet soon to be released. For me, having a fine-tip pressure sensitive stylus would be awesome. However, after having so many tablets, I think the 7" form factor is the perfect size. Now if Samsung comes out with a Note 7...I would be hard pressed to stay with the N7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellz99:
Right I thought I was having keyboard problems which is why I tried 3-4 different ones and hated a few. (krelvinaz knows what I'm taking about since he keeps tabs on my posts). Now I believe I wasn't actually having problems with swiftkey 3 or swype but that I'm getting flakey touch responses. Currently have Thumbs installed and still have to hit the letters a couple of times for them to register. Just went back to the stock keyboard and same thing is happening. I have to key really slow to make sure every letter touch activates.

Here's another odd thing, I just installed the app Multi Tough Visual Test so see if indead I was having problems with my touch screen and every click and gesture I do, even with multiple touches all register. I even tapped super fast and still I see everything showing up. So this leads me to believing the hardwares fine.

I do have it rooted, perhaps if I have time I'll do a backup and factory reset and/or try a custom ROM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRDennyCrane:
I'd simply warranty the thing out. Your problems are clearly not typical of the nexus 7 experience.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellz99:
Well I did a factory reset and response times are better. I can actually type now. Using SwiftKey keyboard for a try.

I had this problem too, and I modified the CM10 source for it. Unfortunately the code has a slight bug (not serious, just when changing settings it might have problems) and the CM10 navbar customizations code is not ported over so it won't be merged too soon.

how about some speed test screen shots.....
[HTC One X] P00r:
Just did, it does increase the speed by adjusting network setting, I was under 1MB (my home is concrete floor) and doubled the spped to 1.5 after a reboot,

from a site on the net...

based on Build.prop Optimization.needs busybox.- Features -Number/Number/Number (example: 10/10/6) means GPRS Class/Max download speed/Max upload speed.Speaking Simply, Higher value boosts your data network speed,but it can causes battery drain.

the HOX international is a class 12 device, seem like the default are at 10 so increase seem to be quite normal!

I however doubt that placing 17 there will make our 3G device an LTE one...

Sis some more test, speed increase is real by maybe by 10-20% but in my case the modem was configured as 10 not 12 like it should have been...

5131 / 2304

5160 / 2347

6065 / 2399

7694 / 2364

5815 / 2390

then 5 with, I selected the 12/28/7 - Max Speed (low battery) download first profile:

5204 / 1962

5349 / 1654

5417 / 1616

4791 / 1787

5988 / 2386

I then tried to go back to the normal profile however and I had constant connection issues and couldn't complete a speed test, set it back to the other profiles and it works but it probably needs a reinstall etc. I've not had chance to do any testing on battery drain though.

Try to go to google.com with your Computer.

Than enter your E-Mail adress, and click on cant enter my account or smth. like that.

Than tick the reason "password forgotten".

Try to get a new one.

If you got a new one, than unlock your phone with entering your E-Mail and the new pasword.

If getting a new Password isn't working; try to flash a Rom. Just a stock rom.

If don't know how to flash a Stock Rom, comment below and I'll post a link.

After data wiped and formated cache I odined the UK ICS 4.0.4.

Everything went perfect.

Did the initial setup and without anything else I installed Netflix from the market.

It plays 20 seconds and then video stop and then after another 10 seconds audio stops as well.

Uninstalled and reinstalled with cache deleted and such. Same result.

Wiped from recovery cache and dalvik. Same result.

Flashed again ICS with previous data and cache wiped. Same result.

Installed 1.7.1 (actual 1.8.1). Same result.

What to do next?

I was really enjoying the (UK) ICS update until I tried Netflix.

I can confirm the same behavior. About 20 seconds of play, then video stop, then audio stop.

Glad I'm not alone, not glad about the problem. Netflix is a big part of my tab usage.

Netflix workaround ICS

Same problem, I almost went back to HC because Netflix is one of my major use cases.

But here's a work-around (which I found in some other ICS/JB thread on this forum that I can't remember.

So the credit goes to the unknown soldier :angel:)

- Log into Netflix with your browser

- Click "Your Account"

- Select "Manage Video Quality" under "Instant Watching"

- Check "Better quality (up to 0.7 GB per hour)"

This has worked for me flawlessly and I can't tell any difference in video quality on my GTab.

Good enough for me until somone figures out what the real problem is, being it ICS or the Netflix App.

I fixed my Netflix freezing issue by going into my account on the Netflix site and knocking the video quality down to "better." thats all
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] coolairG1:
Thanks for the tips, it works for me. I primarily use my tab to watch Netflix, not much of doing anything else. The last several days were quite frustrated. Now, I can watch movie again, even though with lower quality. Hopefully Netflix will fix it soon. Or I will cancel my subscription.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] serosis:
Another caveat of this problem I've discovered; On a rooted stock ICS, pressing home after Netflix freezes throws a, "shell has been granted superuser permissions" message.

There may be more of an underlying problem here that most of you are just sweeping right under the rug.

Of course, now that I'm trying to pull a logcat out of it Netflix starts to behave.

I've recently up and downgraded from 3.32 to 3.33 and back.

I've S-OFF'd my device with Revolutionary.

So on 3.32 my device showed HBOOT 1.27.XXXX (dunno right now), S-OFF and REVOLUTIONARY on top.

On 3.33 it said S-OFF and LOCKED... This is quite annoying because I like fastboot :D

This and a "slowdown issue" on Viper Rom made me to go back to 3.32 - just go to the Firmwares thread and download the PG58IMG.zip and put it on your SDCard - now boot to bootloader and flash the PG58IMG

By the way, normally you can flash any rom with S-OFF on, you just need to get root by something like zergRush (dunno right now which tool).

S-ON meant at least on my previous phone that you can change the content of /system only within recovery. You weren't able to change your stock recovery to CWM, so you had to use "fake-flash" - you actually apply an update.zip that contained your CWM Recovery...

S-OFF meant you can change /system on a running android and change your recovery and don't have to use FakeFlash (like 3 seconds faster :D)
[Android Software Development] PXL42:
I started a new tool called DAMAA to display and/or merge apns-conf.xml content.

Main idea is in many ROMs, APNs miss for some users and consequently, users report always same issues :

- "no MMS"

- "no Internet"

...

If each people/ROM developers give its final apns-conf.xml file (join in post here) as base of next merge for another user/dev, we could have very very complete APNs in our ROMs

So, post your apns-conf.xml here with :

- phone model

- ROM

- ROM version

- Android Version

... and others information allowing to identify context of use of APNs configuration

This tool is a Java applet running at this url : http://mat.pxl.free.fr

I have tested with apns-conf.xml from ICS (IceColdSandwich 8.4) and JB (JellyTime) on HTC Desire HD. These files are version 7. I don't think previous versions are correctly managed by this tool.

It is a first version and pre pre pre pre pre alpha, please be fair ;)

In future development, I'll complete/add some features, but your reports and advices are also important !!

- Added "Add" APN manually.

Hi PXL42 ;)

Good idea! Your tool could be a way for me to get - finally - MMS working with ICS/Jelly bean roms without SENSE on my DHD.

It seems that Orange CH needs an APN for wap and the setting "Protocol MMS: wap 2.0" in internet and mms APN. I can send/receive MMS with Virtuous Infinity (custom rom ICS with Sense) without wifi enable, but never with ICS rom without sense (IceColdSandwich or JellyTime)

One big difference in APN settings: Virtuous has 1 APN more for Orange CH: WAP apn and Protocol MMS in all 3 apns.

All I have to do is to find in the custom roms ICS with Sense.where are stocked the APN for Wap and the setting "Protocol MMS". I've verified in apns-conf.xml of Viruous Infinity and it's not there :(

If someone has an idea, it will be awesome!
