[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RJA88:
Hallo,

I'm sorry if this had been asked allready, but i can't find out how ho search only the nexus 7 forum with the xda app.

I just got my nexus. A friend bought it for me in the Google store online while she was with family in the usa. The box was completly sealed. When i signed in, there was another gmail adress mentioned. I thought that was weired, but figured it probably was a Google employee. But now i see that i don't have the store credit and i'm afraid that someone else ook it from me. Or is that offer not available anymore? She ordered it last friday, august 10.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckhole:
When the N7 is ordered online, you're asked to provide a Google account and it's associated with that account somehow. The $25 store credit winds up getting given to that account.

Since you had a friend purchase it on your behalf, I would expect that your friend inadvertently received the $25 credit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RJA88:
Aah i see. Well her aunt payed tot it. Do she probably has the credit then. I'll see if i can fix it. I don't think she uses an android device actually, do she can't do anything with the money.

Thanks for the answer.

are there any apps that can switch from one app/game to another? like in apple, just a swipe with 5 fingers, then you will go to the next open app.:confused:
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Chillz88:
Try gmd control gestures and lmt launcher..really cool
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] reyes_todd22:
it seems that the multitouch gestures are not working on my galaxy s3, only the single gestures does. or i didn't execute it properly, any tips?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nonumb:
Can't you just hold down the home button and select the first option? Or do you literally want to swipe between apps
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] reyes_todd22:
i can do that, but i prefer just swiping. it's much faster in switching apps
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Chillz88:
It does work for me.. gmd does all that.. is it switched on in gmd multi gestures custom tab?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] reyes_todd22:
i guess so,. i put almost everything to on. where could i specifically find that?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Chillz88:
Go to custom gestures and create the gesture you want... or tell me which all gestures you want to be made.will tell you how to set it up
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] reyes_todd22:
it still doesnt work for me
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Chillz88:
Have u made the gesture..?.. is it active?..you would see a green light near it.. what gesture did you make...?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] reyes_todd22:
yes i did the gesture. i enabled the service and the gestures. i didn;t see the green light', where should i see it? i did the default ones, i and tired making of custom ones also.

You can use Trigger to switch tasks.

Very very simple.

I made a short demonstration video of how to use Trigger to change tasks. Quality's not too good because I'm still not used to using Screencast yet.

[YOUTUBE]CAvM4i8BxYU[/YOUTUBE]

You can use Trigger without gestures and that's by setting the dragging up, left, right, down directions to be the actions you want to activate. I've set the left action to be switch to previous task and the up action to be show Recent Apps.

And for a limited time, you can download Trigger from the Samsung Apps Store to get the full version that lets you make an unlimited amount of gestures.

Otherwise, you could download the free version of Trigger from the Play Store to try out.

Edit: If you want to move the Trigger Icon, you'll have to hold onto the icon for a second or so. If you don't hold, it'll activate the swiping actions instead.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] reyes_todd22:
i cant find trigger on my play store, i would like to try it. thanks for your video!!!!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Varience:
I believe its because Trigger is still new and not popular enough yet.

Searching for Trigger Varience should have better results.

Also, in my original post, if you click the word Play Store, it'll link you directly to the app.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccoz:
Hello everyone and thanks for checking out my post. I have a little problem here. I downloaded SuperNexus Rom which is a jellybean rom. It had Google Now already installed, but it didnt work like i expected... When i ask it questions like "How is the weather" It always googles it.

It doesnt show up like in siri or s-voice. Google Now doesnt speak either. And also on the Google Now "homepage" where it is supposed to show cards there is none of them. It only shows the "Cards will be shown here when needed" card. (Roughly translated from Finnish) And i do have the cards turned on in the settings.

Well thank you anyways, i really hope ill get an answer for these problems. - Maccoz

Try wiping cache+data and re-flashing rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br.ruan:
Go to "Google Now > [MENU] > Settings > Voice > Speech output" and select "always".

For photo's goto "Google Now > [MENU] > Settings > Privacy and accounts" and tick "Search on google.com".

Remember the program needs to 'learn you ways' and this can understandably take time. I'm not on speaking terms as I don't use that feature, but give it some time and see if it works. You should probably use it regularly (?).

Hope this helped,

ive been using cm10 for a while and only noticed today that google now supports finnish audio input, so i immediately tried it and cards do not show up for me either when asking about the weather. with english it works. as far as i know the cards only work with the languages available for offline download in the voice settings.. keep in mind google now is still beta so its only natural it doesn't work 100% with every language right from the start
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccoz:
Thanks for the replies! :good: I tried to re-flash the rom and clearing the cache too but it didnt work. And i do have those options selected.

I didnt know that it doesnt have full support for finnish language, thanks for clearing that out for me! How do i change the language? I tried Settings->Speech->Language->English->US but it still doesnt show any cards on the homepage, what am i doing wrong? Thank you!

edit: I changed the system language to english and the Google now language to English and it still doesnt show any cards.... Only the sample cards option... Well i am not giving up and helpful tips are welcome!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zee54:
I was having the exact same problems as you. My weather card just completely disappeared, even from the samples cards. So I followed those instructions, turned it off and on again, reset everything but still nothing. So I just left it like that for a while and then after like an hour or so it just reappeared in my notifications and the card was there again. Weird. Just it just needs time to reinitialise again

So try resetting, turn it off and on, go into settings >> now cards, and make sure the weather card is on (and any others that you want) and just leave it. See what happens. It should come back by itself. Hope it works.

Nexus 7 TV Out?

I'm considering a purchase but like the idea of watching my movies on a hotels TV screen.

So is TV out possible with the Nexus 7 either with an RCA composite output via the 3.5mm headphone socket

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-5M-Long-...#ht_1981wt_689

Or

Using something like this micro-USB to HDMI type connector?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxas:
theres no hdmi or any physical way to connect it to the tv yet. The best bet by the looks of it is by using a miracast dongle (which by the way, dont quite exist yet....) its basically another standard similar to DLNA, take a look here:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Most likely not going to get a direct reply from ESR. The email address they have posted gets you on their Mailing List so when they have something to say they will post via that and their website. Can't imagine how many people are pinging them daily about their project.

I can't wait until they release something. Even at 150ms latency, for what I want to use it for it won't matter (not much of a gaming guy). Latency will have no effect on images, watching videos (netflix, google etc..) on the big screen which is where it will end up.

I setup my RPi this weekend. have it now running headless with a WiFi dongle. Have it setup to work with both a DVI monitor and the big screen via HDMI.

Just streamed a full 1080p movie to the Big Screen from it, though the video was on the RPi not from another source. Output was flawless.

Can't wait to see their software and start doing the same from the Nexus 7.

They want to sell movies, but you cant connect it directly to a TFT / TV via HDMI or similiar to watch it on your big screen.

Allied is super hard to get ahold of for refunds so I guess I'm just going to use the second one for the living room as soon as this gets released so I can stream Netflix.

An USB-storage works with a GTO-adapter and the app Nexus Media Importer.

So for HDMI could there in future maybe also be an app to enable some kind of USB to HDMI-Adapter ?

"As of today, the company says that the shipping build of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean doesn't support the Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) which would allow it to double as an HDMI port, nor advanced USB On-The-Go (OTG) functionality."

Aww, looks like no mhl here. The point is that it wud have likely Increased the price. And the whole idea of "Google play" is that you don't HAvE to connect ur Tablet to TV, since all. Movies u bot or rented are available from any device on Google play site. My TV at home is internet enabled like a lot of TV s nowadays, so its easy. Also the reason they didn't bother with the storage ... its all supposed to be "web content viewer" type thing. The problem is WiFi or internet is not as common. Outside of some countries like the us or so.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splotz:
Very good points.

Playing games wireless on the big screen isn't supported yet, is it?

Here in Europe lot of people don't trust the clouds, as they don't know where their data is stored and therefor by which laws it is protected.

As to me and new TV's including wifi streaming:

I try to buy devices to last very long because of the embodied energy a device needs to get produced.

So until a new device doesn't saves more energy then the old cost, or it stops working, it will be used.

(Most devices need more energy to get produced then they consume in their short living time, not to talk about the toxic byproducts... )

I have also a Mediaplayer with wifi, but it is still more complicated to switch it on and switch to streaming instead of plugging the cord of the TV to the Tablet.

Of course to be wireless is/would be a nice thing, but eg. I wouldnt like to sleep next to the wifi router...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EB10000:
Hi

When you want to do a clean install of Windows OS, you all know that the right way to go is to format the primary partition first..

I was wondering: why can't we do the "same" in Android?

I've noticed that in CWM recovery there are many format options in addition to just doing Wipes...

So what if instead of doing the old Wipe data/cache and factory reset before flashing new rom, especially when migrating from Sammy to AOSP, we use the FORMAT function of the CWM recovery console?

So this bring up my new line of questions:

Which Formats are safe (as in terms of not bricking only, since we all know that we must backup first)?

Is Format data safe and recommended before flashing?

Is Format system safe and recommended before flashing?

Is Format SD card safe and recommended before flashing?

Does Format system erases the entire OS, meaning the ROM with it's kernel? If kernel is wiped does it mean that CWM will be lost upon next boot?

Same goes for Format SDCARD. Will this erase the entire internal memory? So the new ROM.ZIP should be placed in the external SD first?

I'd really appreciate if someone could answer all of the above questions

Many thanks

If you don't have bad chip then all are safe. If you have bad chip then make sure you have safe kernel.

General steps before flashing a new ROM.

1. Backup your present ROM just incase

1. Wipe data/ factory reset

2. Wipe cache partition

3. Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)

4. Format /system (under mount)

5. Flash your desired Rom/zips

6. Fix permissions (under advanced)

Notes:

- If you are moving from from an AOSP ROM to Samsung (vice versa), perform all the steps above.

- If you are upgrading / downgrading from one android version to another e.g ICS to jellybean or 4.0.3 to 4.0.4, also perform all the steps above.

- If you are upgrading from a Samsung ROM to another wipe the same android version, you may skip step 1.

- if you are upgrading your Aosp/aokp Rom with another with the same android version e.g 4.0.4 Aosp to 4.0.4 aokp, you may also skip step 1.

*******Important******

If you are presently running a Samsung based 4.0.4 Rom that is using Samsung based kernel e.g CF-ROOT or stock kernel, please flash Siyah kernel before performing any of the above steps. You will end up with ash unusable device if you don't adhere to this important information.

Just 2 more questions:

1. what about format Format SDcard (internal)? Is it also safe/recommended? What does it do exactly?

2. can any of the the above formats delete the IMIE? Where i it stored? On internal SDcard? Will formatting it delete it?

Thanks

Formatting the Internal Sd card wipes all your data (music, photos, videos) on the internal memory of the phone.

Doing all those wipes doesnt affect the IMEI as far as I know...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. You're first question has been answered in the post before mine.

2. About IMEI:

-Your IMEI is stored in your root folder /efs inn your system reserved partition.

-Flashing Roms and kernel shouldn't mess with this folder but sometimes it happens.

-most of the Roms Agnes kernels made by recognized developers will backup your efs folder before flashing.

-too be on a safer side though, you can visit the thread below to backup your efs (imei) folder yourself before messing with your phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EB10000:
Thanks again

My problem is that I keep thinking in MS Windows terms.. I was sure that "Format SDCARD" is the parallel to formatting the entire "Hard drive", just like to delete the system partition..

Know let me see if I got everything right:

Format system is like deleting the Windows folder - no more OS (ROM)

Format data is like deleting all user account = deleting the "Programs data" folder in Windows - no more app data

Formatting SDCARD is like deleting the "Users" folder including "my documents" - no more user private data

So by using the 3 above formats, there is no need to do a Factory reset. But what about Wipe cache and Dalvik? shouldn't System format take care of those two caches? Or perhaps Cache and Dalvik are to separate partitions?

And for the few last question, so I can finally declare myself an Android expert :) :

(1) Format boot is a very bad idea right? It will delete the bootloader, meaning one must flash a rom that includes one of it's own?

(2) Are all roms intended for CWM flashing come with their own boot partition?

(3) So if Format boot is risky, I can conclude that the CWM recovery must be part of the boot partition right?

Many thanks for all the help. Once I get all of this right, I will feel confidant to start flashing roms on my own for the first time (I already got my phone rooted and CWMed by flashing Siyah kernel using Odin :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boki9999:
1) As far as I know, the boot partition is reserved for kernel. So, if you format it, phone won't be able to boot further than the initial Sgs2 logo. But it will still be flashable in Download mode.

2) If kernel is a part of boot partition, and most roms come with their own kernels, the you could say that the come with their own boot data.

3) If you format boot, you will also loose Cwm as it is a part of the kernel. Download mode would be still accessible as it is a part of the (secondary) bootloader which can be only overriden with Odin.

But again, I'm not 100% sure about this.

I want to erase all my previous data in internal storage. More specifically, erase the OS and data (app data, user data, media, etc), then I'm gonna flash new ROM.

But of course, I don't want to erase boot system and recovery system.

1. Can I do above by using CWM - Mounts : format /sdcard ?

2. Does format /sdcard include format /system, /data, /cache, and wipe dalvik cache?

3. Is format /sdcard safe to do?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MigoMujahid:
To install a new rom, you don't have to wipe the internal sdcard, just wipe data & cache and navigate to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, and then to mount and format system, then flash your rom, or use TWRP it's easier, press wipe then advanced wipe and mark (data, cache, dalvik cache, system) and swipe to wipe, then flash your rom.

Ps: all app data is removed from internal storage (data in sdcard\android) when you wipe data, so you don't have to wipe internal storage
