[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koei7:
I been playing around with couple version of custom kernels available and I noticed my N7 is having some issue with indexing files/directories the sdcard mount. Whenever I use Root Explorer to drop stuff into directories here, I cannot see the file when I connect it to USB in Windows. After searching around on the web, others seems to had similar problems which they attribute Media Scanner service as the problem. I tried flashing different kernel and even wiping and reverting back to stock but the problem persists.

Is anyone else having this problem or is familiar with a fix?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemeknzb:
i am having this issue as well. it seems that files are not immediately visible in windows over usb, but after a while, like restarting nexus 7 and waiting a bit, they become visible. did you find a fix?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
I do not have any issue? Maybe it is because I installed the nexus 7 driver from Nexus 7 Toolkit?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemeknzb:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDr1ver:
When playing back an MP4 file stored locally (or streamed from my network) I can only get the video to play in portrait mode (pretty small). Is there any way I can rotate the playback to landscape and have it fill the screen? I've tried the ES Media Player and the default media player but can't seem to rotate the damn thing. Transformers obviously works in landscape mode, so why won't my MP4s?

I've been searching for a simple solution to this problem but it would appear there isn't one. I haven't tried Ultimate Rotation App because I've read there were a host of other problems with it causing videos to skip and I'm not sure it would do what I need anyway. Is there a native solution, or a better media player that will play my MP4s in landscape/full screen mode?

The particular MP4 I'm testing is x264 and less than 720P.

Thanks in advance.

MX Player FTW. Downloaded it, tested it, worked like a charm. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odinbear:
Cheers, ;)

Cheers, been a big fan of Mobo Player but that didnt work.

About the only thing other than the No Sd Card, No mini Htmi output, More memory, etc,etc, lol. The lack of native auto rotation is a Pain.

Simple solution Thanks.. :cool: Havent rooted, Yet, lol..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. JackL:
This is actually very simple and doesn't require downloading anything at all. From any of the main menu pages swipe down from the top right corner and tap the "auto rotate" in the center of the pull down menu and unlock it. The device makers thought that the rotate function should be locked by default on most main pages except the provided movie player.

[Off-topic] SynysterX:
Hi all, I would like to say hello to begin with. I don't remember if I've posted here before or not. I have a question regarding my smartphone insurance if any of you would know anything about it. See, I rooted my phone long ago. I flashed and restored nandroid backups as I worked my way through my path of enlightenment (so to speak) in custom ROMs. Anywho, I am a proud owner of a Motorola Droid X (1st gen), and I recently flashed the Revnumbers unofficial CM7 build on my phone. Everything was great until my com.android.phone process force closed on me every time I tried to place a phone call and also force closed on me upon a fresh boot. I came to find out upon further research that it was due to a problem with the power control widget when switching from 2G/3G, and that running some SQLite commands in a terminal emulator would fix the problem by switching the preferred network value in a database file. I don't know what I did, but I made a nandroid backup after the problem occured, and the force close went away after I restored it. Now it's back, and I'm at my wit's end with this damn thing and I have decided I'm gonna pay the deductible on my insurance and get me a new X. I was wondering if the root status on my phone (as well as the com.android.phone FC) would eliminate my chances of getting a new phone. I know I could just run it over with my car, but I just can't bring myself to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I found out that other X users were having the same problem, not just with CM7, but with all 2nd int ROMs.

I really don't mean to post this in the wrong section if I did. I have had enough of this pos DX and I'm definitely thinking about buying my friend's very lightly used Bionic for $120.
[Off-topic] Archer:
Not sure what the insurance policy is like that you have, but if you've done anything at all (custom ROM, custom Kernel, rooting etc.) then that normally means you're not covered. You'd need to go back to 100% stock to be on the safe side, which would probably also fix your problem.

If you've got the option of a Bionic for $120 then that's a tempting offer. I'm certainly no Motorola fan and would advise other, better phones, but $120 is a good price for that, assuming it's in good condition.
[Off-topic] SynysterX:
Well, I researched my problem when it occured, and a lot of threads on various forums such as Rootzwiki, and a device-specific forum were present with people having the exact same problem. They said it occured on all 2nd-int ROMs, and they took measures such as reflashing, wiping the data and factory resetting, even SBFing back to stock, still to no avail. It seems that once the preferred network mode value is altered, it stays that way regardless of reflashing or SBFing back to stock. I think I know what the actual problem is, but I don't know how to edit the database files myself. One of the threads on Rootzwiki said that the db file under something like android.providers.settings has a db value that is named as "preferred_network_mode" iirc, and that changing the value with an app called sqlite would fix it. I did not find such an app, and with the SQLeditor I tried out, I could not find the preferred_network_mode even searching that exact phrase, character for character. If I can fix this DX, I would love to continue on with it, but if it's too much trouble, I may just bite the bullet and pay the deductible to get a new phone. My mom thinks I shouldn't root or flash because it voids the warranty, but I didn't think that the insurance providers cared about software. I guess I'll just have to run it over with my car or something if I can't fix the problem. It's so bad that I can't even place or receive calls. That's the one thing for which I absolutely need to use my phone.

Hello friends.

Dont know why, but my Rom toolbox pro does not apply the governor settings (with profiles) at bootup. I have to manually untick and tick the profiles so it gets activated.

Im running Staxxtanium PA 1.7 with AniDroid 0.8.

What could be the problem? Ive checked the startups program and it is not disabled.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andersenk:
I have noticed that if I use my old charger, that came with my Xperia X10, my ION charges at about half the speed. Why would that be the case? And I have tried switching out the usb cable, so I know that is not the issue. I was hoping to use my old one to bring with me to work, with out the worry of losing, or breaking it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] accts:
The lower amp the slower it charge. Even with lower voltage it does charge but extremely slow.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cHoLoCoY:
the old xperia X10 charger output is 5.0 VDC @ 700mA and the new Xperia Ion comes with a fast charger (5.0 VDC @ 1500mA),.... thas double the charging speed and some,....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andersenk:
Thanks guys, I'll make a note if this if and when I need a replacement charger.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
Think of it in terms of, if your phone is completely off. I'm sure most of you have done rough calculations of how much charge you can get in a given time frame, with the phone off vs on. I know I have. Especially if it's almost dead but I need to run out for a bit and need my phone with me. Anyways, with that said...

A 1900 mah battery, charging at 1.5 amps, or 1500 mah, should charge in about an hour and 20 minutes from dead. Now, this is under the assumption that all circumstances are perfect, and the phone is completely powered off.

To calculate how long it would take with the phone in use, would be dependent on how much consumption is happening at any given moment. Not to mention, every time that power consumption fluctuates, so does the needed charge time.

To get a rough estimate for charge time with the phone powered off, divide the mah of your battery by the mah of the charger you are using. Again, this is just for rough estimation, this isn't exact times, but it's damn near close.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madcamper:
Ok, so I just got this samsung captivate and I want to root it. I can't get anywhere close to rooting it because when I plug it in via USB, windows doesn't do anything. I have my phone set to USB debugging and sometimes I have to unplug/replug the mini usb from the phone several times before it actually goes into "USB Debugging" mode. I have installed the necessary drivers but windows still does not acknowledge that I am even plugging in the phone via USB. I have tried downloading kies and that didn't work either. I don't think anything is going to work until I can make windows acknowledge that the USB device is even connected. I have also tried the *#7482# trick and it didn't help. Could it be another setting on my phone or something that is preventing my phone from connecting to my computer? It is really starting to agitate me because I want to get rid of all this crappy bloatware.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] damb1t:
I can not get my power button or my call button to work on this HD2 I have been working on. Initally the phone had a bad motherboard but I am pretty sure the power button still worked on that motherboard. I switched the motherboard out with one that I knew worked but then at least the power button didn't work. I got the phone to turn on and operate so I did a factory reset and it will turn on fine now. But the power button and the call button don't work. I looked at the hardware again and saw that the ribbon cable to the buttons was ripped a little so I replaced that and still the two buttons don't work. I don't know where to go from here. The buttons do press down and click like the other buttons and I have made sure the buttons are lined up right.

[HTC Desire S] arkhan11:
Hi guys, I have restored a backup of ICE DS 4.1 rom made with 6.98.1002 hboot after I flashed hboot 7.00.1002. Of course, I wipe all partitions but sd card before restore the backup. Device info are in the signature below. Everything is working fine, but I've read about not to restore backups made with a different hboot. Should I restart from scratch installing the rom again?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Engineers have this nice saying: "If it is working do not touch it" :)
[HTC Desire S] arkhan11:
Thank you! It's a nice saying :)

Anyway, to make this thread helpful to other people, what about the right or usual procedure?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
OK. :)

First, for the record, AFAIK only 4EXT recovery is compatible with the additional /system/lib partition (that exists on 2.0.x or 7.0.x bootloaders) and will restore it if exists in the backup.

Scenario 1: If you downgrade your hboot (to 0.98.2000 for example), the recovery will try to restore this partition to a not existing one, resulting in a bootloop since your ROM will have the libraries missing. But this will happen only if the backup is of a Stock Sense 3 or 3.6 ROM. A custom ROM will restore just fine*.

Scenario 2: (most possible since users usually upgrade:) ) When you go to a hboot that supports /system/lib (e.g. 7.0.x) with a backup from an old one (e.g. 6.98.x) the libraries will be flashed on /system, because they resided there on the old hboot, and since all the custom ROMs here (or almost all, but I think ronks888 also changed his ROMs) are still compatible with the old hboot, the updater script is not mounting a separate /system/lib partition, despite the fact it exists on the bootloader partition layout, all the libs get flashed with the ROM. You will have wasted 150 MB of your /cache partition but this is not a big deal. This is your case.

*When eventually all custom ROMs support only the new bootloader (2.00.x +) due to larger ROMs and lack of space, forcing the devs to move the libs files to a separate partition as HTC did, than your backup will fail to restore in scenario 1. But this will happen maybe with Sense 5 or Android 5 :cyclops: when our device will be too old to be supported by the devs here so actively as now or out of hardware capability to run such OS. Also then the old hboot will be obsolete so there will be no need to downgrade, besides to try some "classic ROM" of the present time maybe, but this is quite distant future to discuss now.

Conclusion: currently you can safely restore your backup in both scenarios, except for a backup of Stock Sense 3+ to a hboot < 2.0.x
[HTC Desire S] arkhan11:
Wow! Great! Thank you very much! Everything's good explained and I learned news. I can just add that ice ds Rom doesn't require any particular revolutionary hboot so it supports 6.98, too. :)
[HTC Desire S] germsandbugs:
HBOOT 7.00.1002 some roms won't boot?

Hi Amibuddah,

Thanks for the lengthy and clear explanation, could you answer me this one as well?

I'am on Hboot 7.00.1002, and 4EXT recovery.

I have this problem lately with the Jellybean Roms not getting past the bootscreen and I supposed it has to do with this system/lib partition not being mounted or something like that. Sense Roms go just fine.

I kind of like being able to run Sense roms but I want to try the jellybean ones as well and I don't want to change Hboot every time.

Is there some kind of trick to make these Jellybean ROMs behave?

I have this feeling that the system/lib partition is not copied over, because the installation script demands a format instead of a wipe of the system\lib partition, just before copying the stuff over? (I thought I read something somewhere about changing the installation script so i would perform a wipe instead of a format, but I can't seem to find it though)

Please let me know, I'm itching to give these new jellybean roms a try.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
If you used HTCDev on your phone then you need to flash the kernel every time.
[HTC Desire S] germsandbugs:
Hmm, I'm rev s-off, so this is not my solution in any case.
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
Did you do a full wipe before installing these roms? Or else there may well be leftovers from a sense rom causing the problem.

I'm also on hboot 7.00.xx and never had any problems, sense or jb.

Basically nearly all roms ignore the /system/lib partition, both during installation and when booting/running, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Hi, sorry if this has already been posted, if so, feel free to point me to the pertinent thread...

I have a stock Razr, not rooted, running the up-to-date ICS ota. Using Verizon provisioned tethering (all-in-one billing, corporate account).

Why do I have to reboot my Razr before tethering will work??? Upon rebooting, tethering will work for a day or so, then it stops working and I have to reboot again...

Is there something I'm doing wrong that is causing tethering to stop working? If this is a bug, has it been reported?

Thanks for any help.
