Sorry for being off-topic but is that galaxy w? If so then how did you get that launcher and the status bar?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy W (GT-I8150) with CM9 Alpha 7.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Karmalot:
Yes. I'm using galaxy w. I'm using paranoidandroid by doomsday and tablet ui. Launcher is apex launcher.

I uninstalled super user from the system and installed superuser from market. Scanned my phone and didn't appear anymore.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Hey all, I've had my G2 for over a year now and I love it. A few days ago, the phone started going haywire. The screen has become unresponsive in some cases, while in other cases, it seems to have a mind of its own. It literally starts typing and keeps typing by itself (it seems to like typing the number 4 a lot). I tried installing another rom (CM7), but to no avail. Sometimes if I have the keyboard open, it helps a bit, but it doesn't totally stop the phone from doing things on its own.

If anyone know why this is happening and especially how to fix it, please give me a heads up.

Thx
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strip419:
Lets just say your device has come to an end or you probably overworked it during its "youthful" days is quite common but for the time you have used it, it should still have alot of life in it i've had mine for over a year and its still cool. For the solution i think you should send it to the technical guys maybe an HTC service center or any good mobile service center cos i totally think this has nothing to do with software its hardware.

HIT THANKS IF I HELPED
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dttungz:
It's very likely that the screen digitizer has been damaged somehow, as this random touch signal behavior is a typical telltale. As you have verified that it's not a software issue by testing it in another ROM, a screen replacement would be likely needed. Send it back to HTC for a repair/replacement if yours is still under warranty, otherwise there will be third-party repair shops that you can consider.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Thanks for the responses guys. Sounds like dtt hit the nail on the head. I'm gonna look into replacing the digitizer myself. I think I can do it without a problem, and I don't have much to lose anyway if it goes wrong since the phone is unusable right now.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dkloep:
Im not 100% sure if this is the right place for my post but i think it may be.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the camera settings to allow the power button to snap pictures and videos while the camera is opened. Its in the most convenient place and onscreen buttons i find a little annoying.

I feel like unless im overlooking something id probably need root access to change this (unless there are any apps out there that anyone would recommend).

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Atrix HD] IP IHI II IL:
Definitely not in the right place (should be in general), but try Camera ICS in the Play Store. I haven't used it in a while, but if I remember right, there are HW button assignments (can't remember if that requires root). Also, Shot Control is a really great 3rd party app...

I chose the red pill... Now I'm in the mAtrix and I know Kung Fu... in HD!

[Motorola Atrix HD] Headshots4life:
In the settings you can make the volume button capture pictures. It set to zoom by default.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dkloep:
Okay i see it now! Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dkloep:
I kinda like using the volume buttons for zoom. Any idea how id be able to set the power button to snap pics/vids and still have the volume buttons for zooming?

That would be the ideal button configuration for this phone and a camera app and i dont see me necessarily needing to turn my phone off while the camera is running.

Thanks again!
[Motorola Atrix HD] eagleeyetom:
Questions should be posted in Q&A section. Remember that next time. Moved.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dkloep:
Okay will do!
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dkloep:
Also, i dont see the ics camera allowing me to change the power button functions. I only see more options with the volume buttons (a step in the right direction, but still not the optimal layout im looking for)
[Nexus 7 General] happyjack96:
I bought an 8 GB and u know what? Its perfect! I have tons of apps installed and some videos and still have 3.5 gigs left. All of my music is either in the cloud or on my sd card. With USB otg I can watch all of my HD movies and listen to my 7 gigs of music. I dont regret not getting a 16 gig at all. I used the 50 I saved to buy a bunch of accessories. U really don't need 16 gigs. Save 50 bucks.
[Nexus 7 General] BostonDan2:
Did you have to root to enable USB-otg or can that be enabled with the standard offering?
[Nexus 7 General] Ticiano:
I don't think 8GB is enougth even for a phone... I have the 16GB version just because it's the top of todays models, but I don't think 16GB is a good storage space for a tablet. OTG isn't the same thing of having larger internal memory.
[Nexus 7 General] SithDagger:
Its personal preference, I don't always have a wifi connection, I like loading up tons of roms and trying them out, I enjoy backing up my device, I enjoy having the extra space and dont really want an ugly cord and usb stick hanging from my tablet.

I'm glad you enjoy 8gb version, but its not for everyone. :)

Sent from Sheogorath with cheese.
[Nexus 7 General] Ticiano:
For me, OTG worked out of the box for pen drives and even for the Xbox joypad. I tested without even rooting the device and it works. It's a good alternative to have...
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
You don't just get more space with the 16GB, I think I heard the drive access speeds are even faster due to a different chip in use, but I could be wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
Install a few gameloft games then come back and tell me 8 GB is enough.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
My 10.1" tablet has 80gb total storage, and it's full. I'm constantly rotating things in and out of the memory card. I leave the 16gb internal for apps and downloads and it's always within a gig or so of being full.

My Nexus 7 is not my main tablet. With 16gb and the fact wifi is not everywhere, it can't be.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
The 8gb is more then sufficient for usage for normal use. But once you start throwing PlayStation roms and Nandroids, it might be limiting.

No big deal and there is always OTG and cloud storage. I stopped keeping music with me with Pandora and other streaming music apps. As long as you don't do anything crazy, the 8gb will work just fine.

Me personally, I'd rather just spend the cash just so I don't have to worry about it.
[Nexus 7 General] kieso:
Put the dark knight rises and spiderman on an 8 g model and then your done. That's 4 gig out of 6 that's left after system files.
[Nexus 7 General] Krunk_Kracker:
16 gig is well worth the $50. I have one nandroid backup, the first FF9 disk and tons of PDF 's and epubs and I'm at around 8 gig used.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
All depends on your needs. I've loaded 10 Gig of training videos local on my device to watch while I'm a passenger in a car, or if I take a trip.

Glad it worked for you though!
[Nexus 7 General] wseyller:
I bought an 8 GB for my 6 year old son to upgrade from a crappy Chinese android tablet. How ever it works out we will just deal with the 8gb internal memory.

I do also realize some of the games will really eat up some space. Question is can these games be run of a OTG flash drive? Can they be moved over to it and it work ok.

Cool thing is I have the tablet connected to a share on my nas which has lots of his movies and that work well. That old tablet could never do this. There were so many apps that were not compatible.
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
Your 6 year old gets a Nexus 7? Wow.
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
My six year old has an A200. She uses it a lot and has started asking me about using the OS in more detail. More than just an expensive game machine. And I let my four year old use my KF since I got the N7, but he still prefers my old gen 1 iPod Touch that he has been using since he turned 3. He plugs it in and keeps it charged up and everything. You'd be surprised how responsible they can be when they know it is a privilege.
[Nexus 7 General] Toast95135:
It's 50 bucks more for storage and a lot less headaches, it's worth it to me.
[Nexus 7 General] Elsydeon:
For some of us that prefer to buy these at retail stores so as to not deal with the headache of going to Google to return defective Nexus 7's, it's not really a choice. I'd gladly pay the extra $50 for the opportunity to exchange in person as needed, and I did already have to do so.
[Nexus 7 General] Shano56:
Actually its only like 20 bucks more because apparently the 16GB has no tax or shipping charges. I wish i bought the 16GB model, 1 HD game and a nandroid backup, and the device feels full :(

Really wish I had the 16GB model. No wifi in the car so i can only hold a little music at a time on the tablet :/
[Nexus 7 General] Krunk_Kracker:
This is very true. My 6 year old uses my N7 daily and does very well with it. Same with her $170 3DS
[Nexus 7 General] nakedninja42:
I have a 16GB and its not enough, install couple Gameloft games and my ebooks and comics... less than a 1GB left and so I can't even load a movie. Just got a 64GB flash card to solve that problem :good:
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
My 16GB cost me $222.30 after cashback and coupon from J&R.

If I go to Google Play and select the 8GB after tax and shipping? Total	$226.51 USD

FAIL.

I am enjoying my 16GB for cheaper than your 8GB. ;)

But in all seriousness, even if you couldn't get a great deal like mine, there are PLENTY of places online selling the 16GB with free shipping and no tax for $249. $22.49 more for an extra 8GB of internal storage? And that's just in a cheap tax state. You are going under $20 more in a state like NY or California!
[Nexus 7 General] ripnhack:
I have the 8gb version and I'm ordering the 16 version also I do partially agree that 8gb is good for everyday use I would still like more space for more back ups so I can switch back and forth to test out multiple modifications
[Nexus 7 General] redmonke255:
Some of us can afford an extra 50 just to have more wiggle room.

Sent from my paranoid Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] Mungulz:
Yeah 16gb is great. Also the only one available in Australia, retailers don't sell 8gb. Only play store does.

And im not going out of my way to order online for less storage and ****ty refunds.

So 16gb/local retailer was my only choice.
[Nexus 7 General] Pepmaster:
I'm a little curious. I also bought the 16gb and am glad I did. From what I've read online it appears that the otg cable works for the use of a mouse or keyboard but it does NOT work for the use of external jump or flash drives (unless rooted). I believe someone posted that this feature worked for them out of the box? Either way I thought I'd put my two cents and clarify in case anyone was wondering.
[Nexus 7 General] swisstourist:
u need space for offline maps...

better resale value on ebay.with 16gig.
[Nexus 7 General] lreyes:
I got a 16GB class 4 for 5 bucks on amazon :D
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
You can't install apps onto the OTG storage, only main memory. So you would have to uninstall an app to install a new app if you run out of internal storage regardless of how much OTG storage you have.
[Nexus 7 General] droid_1989:
Got the 16gb because, let's face it, this tablet is dirt cheap as it is, my phone is 16gb(32gb microsd). Plus I've just got a voucher for £50 from work, so using that on accessories.

But yeah, when I finally get round to rooting the tablet, ill be playing around with ROMs, plus I'd rather have the most memory, who wouldn't?
[Nexus 7 General] kieso:
Flash drives and SD cards are to slow to play most games off of.
[Nexus 7 General] got556:
Ha....it's always better to have too much than not enough.

16gb user here and only have 2gb left. That's w/ one nandroid, one TiBu, no music, no movies, and the rest games/apps. The SD card slot missing was what was going to keep me from buying it and I gave in on the 28th of June....but if there's one thing I could change about this tab, that would be it.
[Nexus 7 General] dr.m0x:
For me the 16gb model was a must. Even then it's still not enough. If this thing had at least 32gb internal and a micro sd slot and a SIM card version, it would be the ultimate piece of mobile tech on the market.

I have to settle for 16gb and two 32gb flash drives via otg though.

I'm still very happy with this tab but if I had the 8gb version I'd be out of space already and pissed of at myself for being cheap.

To put it another way ... I'd rather have extra storage and have it during empty than too little storage and constantly be low on space.
[Nexus 7 General] Jon565G:
Same here. My apps have already taken up just over 6gig, with nothing else on it. If I only had 8gig it would be full by now..... that's without any videos or music ect

I can't see the harm in just spending a bit more, and having the extra storage if and when you need it. Unless your really short on money and desperately what a n7, there is no excuse.

Even if you always use the cloud, I'm sure there are times when you can't access WiFi or your phone has no signal. Then at least you have some media stored on the n7.....
[Nexus 7 General] wmoore:
In hindsight, I would have gone for the 8GB version. I have next to nothing actually stored on the device.
[Nexus 7 General] wseyller:
I assumed so. Thanks for confirming.

My 6 year old does very well with tablets and he has his own laptop. This new generation has got it better than when i was a kid.

[Nexus 7 General] Dragooon123:
I got 8GB worth of games alone with a few left to download...hell I want 32GB.
[Nexus 7 General] ClanUrdnot:
That's a stupid ass thing to say. Lots of people care, myself included.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Fixed ;)
[Nexus 7 General] getbuzzin:
I care too.
[Nexus 7 General] noobandriod:
My 16gb is starting to fill up pretty quick. If you want play any games with good graphics it is going to be 500MB-1GB on average. You are going to run out of space pretty quick. Music, videos, ebooks also takes up space too. Yes, can use OTG cable but it's a pretty annoying thing to have a wire hanging around and should be used only have necessary.

Nova 3

GTA 3

Dead Trigger

Shadowgun

Horn (should be coming out this week)
[Nexus 7 General] graffixnyc:
I feel 16gb is way too little as well. I'm constantly checking my space on my N7. I have about 7GB free still. I could easily fill it up but I'm trying to keep it to the bare minimal. On my phone I have a 64gb card and 32gb internal memory and my asus infinity tablet has a 32gb card and 32gb internal memory.
[Nexus 7 General] sbeddoesdesign:
I only put my music on my phone, which has 16GB, but I start to lose space for the games I wanna play. I wouldn't be likely to keep any music on the N7 because it's all already on my phone, cloud isn't a good solution with music because I like to listen to it on the go and we don't have 4G everywhere like you guys do in the US. 16GB is plenty for my music, and plenty for my selection of games (including the big 3D ones) but not quite enough for both together.

Very frustrating that this doesn't do MicroSD or higher capacity but Google clearly want us to use their cloud services more and more.
[Nexus 7 General] Quetzalcoatl:
I only use my tablet for reading lol

Bought the 16 GB version just because.

I install very few apps and all my music is on my phone.

If I want to watch a movie, I have a laptop for that.
[Nexus 7 General] swolebiceps:
You should learn to move your backups off the device

You should learn to move your backups off the device. Better for security reasons also unless you are encrypting everything. Im not saying you should have an 8 gig just that backups dont need to be on the device after it is backed up.:good:
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
My Nexus 7 was born without a tail. This just seems wrong...
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
No the op speaks the truth look at my storage

Either a troll or wants everyone to only get what he wants
[Nexus 7 General] famousamos3:
That's not true in my case. I bought the 16 gig tablet from the Play store and I had to pay both shipping and tax. It can to $280 something. I do live in New York.
[Nexus 7 General] cordell507:
The space you need is completely up to how you use your tablet, just because you only need to 8 GB version doesn't mean that it will be good enough for everyone
[Nexus 7 General] Cybore:
I probably would've been able to live with an 8gb, but In my case since I had a gamestop GC, I just decided to preorder mine locally and avoid the S/H handling fees. $30 extra or so for 8gb more was a no brainer. I think most of my local stores didn't carry the 8gb anyways.

Well, we all should have bought Macbook Pros! With RETINA!!!

Xoom usb host cable

Anyone know if the usb host cable works on the n7?
[Nexus 7 General] CasualStarlord:
I have the 16gb version, so I don't have to worry about watching hd movies at the gym on the treadmill whilst charging at the same time. Charging + OTG will never work as it is beyond the spec of the chipset, maybe someone will unlock it in the future but it's not a possibility right now. I wish they had a 64gb version....
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
Personally, I wouldn't buy the 8 gb even if I didn't plan on putting anything on the N7. I would want the extra 8 gb just in case. I plan on having this tab for a while and needs change... You might not need the 16 gb now but 6 months from now you might need it and cry and that you didn't buy the 16 gb :)
[Nexus 7 General] JD914:
8gb devices now a days shouldn't even exist. My 16gb isn't enough. I wish they would have had 16gb and 32gb models for the same price.
[Nexus 7 General] CasualStarlord:
the price of flash these days, they should have had 64GB and 128GB hah, that would have 1up'd apple
[Nexus 7 General] Oukiva:
Hi krelvinaz,

Are you really sure of that?

I see more and more Apps have the "Move to SD card" option.

I understand that they put all the data and the big binary on the SD card (or USB key?)

and only store a very small "launcher" on the main memory.

Am I wrong? :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Would've paid $300 if it had 32GB, microSD slot and HDMI out. Back camera is a bonus but not as important as the others.
[Nexus 7 General] thevuman:
This man... He speaks the truth
[Nexus 7 General] Oukiva:
Of course you have a few softs who use a lot of storage (mainly some action/race games?) but not everyone will install such games on his Nexus 7. I will not.

I just had a look in my tablet and the average size for the Apps I installed on it is way below 10 Mo. That means I will

only use 1 Go if I install 100 Apps

, and I will not ;)

The OP statement is not stupid. For many people 8 GB will be more than enough :)

but for some others 16, 32 or even 1024 would still not be enough ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Krunk_Kracker:
This whole thread is dumb.

Don't spend the money on a full size truck!

I have a Ranger and I can tell you that you don't need the extra payload capacity that a full-size gives you! Save some money and buy a Ranger!
[Nexus 7 General] corvato:
my credit card bill for $250 plus about $12 tax and $12 shipping from Google Play for my 16gb Nexus 7 would have to disagree with your statement that there is no tax or shipping on the 16 gb model
[Nexus 7 General] rootusr:
I desagree with the OP

1) 8 GB could be not enough if you are gamer or own some movies to watch offline, it just depends of every use case.

2) There are some benchmarks even here in XDA that shows that I/O performance is better in the 16GB version than in the 8GB. Look at here

I have not a 8GB version to compare but my 16GB is really fast. I have 3.6GB free space now.
[Nexus 7 General] andreww88:
Wow, this thread is silly. I DID spend the extra 50 dollars for the 16 GB. With a lot of games, especially Gameloft, you will blow through space. Definitely worth it in my book.
[Nexus 7 General] dsuppa:
seriosuly 8gb isnt enough for anything. I bring my tablets to work so I keep music and videos offline, comics to that and I eat through 8gb before I even install a single app.....
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
mo...go?
[Nexus 7 General] leventccc:
I want to buy nexus 7 but probably I will not because of non-expendable and low storage maybe galaxy note 10.1 will be a better choice but its not pure google :(

I wish my parents could afford to buy me things like that when I was 6.
[Nexus 7 General] t_007_v2:
mmmm i only have 500megs left out of the 16... STUFFED like a turkey (;
[Nexus 7 General] edscholl:
i'm glad you have 3.5 gigs left, but i have 10+ gigs of just video on my nexus 7, and i travel 2-3 weeks out of every month; i like to review technique while flying (swimming and jiu jitsu instructionals on the nexus), and gogo inflight ain't exactly reliable enough to stream video. and between having to remember my work laptop, work cell phone, personal cell phone, tablet, sometimes personal laptop, their chargers, ethernet cable, noise cancelling headphones, secure id card, etc, etc, etc i'd rather forgo the sd card and otg cable.

but thanks for telling me what i need, i wouldn't have known otherwise. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] JD914:
I totally agree. I would never suggest getting the lesser storage on any device if it was a mere $50 to get the better of the two. I don't know what the OP was thinking. I have come across a few threads of people quickly running out of space on their 8gb devices. For a measly $50 ill save myself the headaches.
[Nexus 7 General] sm753:
Really?

Just saying - if an extra $50 to double your storage is too tall an order, you probably shouldn't be spending $200+ on a tablet in the first place...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSchroeder:
can someone take the time to school a noob on DPI? I change the dpi n my ro.build and I see no difference... pretty sure I am misunderstanding some part of it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synx0:
From my understanding you change the build.prop... save and exit the text editor (must be rooted) and restart the device... I've been using that method on my galaxy nexus and now nexus 7 and it works perfect... think of lowing the dpi as in tricking the OS into thinking you have a bigger screen than you actually have... thus making everything smaller and also triggering tablet mode
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
No I've been there and done this too. If you open and save the file... then open it back up, the changes are reverted. Yea I was rooted and was using root explorer. Once I flashed a custom rom, I could change it no problem. Maybe something with stock rom or something else not allowing the file to change, even though the folder is R/W and all that.

The file keeps reverting back after you save it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msn.debord:
It should work if the folder is R/W and you save and exit. Maybe you should try es Flie Explorer?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSchroeder:
I was rushed while posting that and I believe I was completely unclear. I did edit the you Build.prop, I am on a custom rom sgt7 and the dpi and build.prop and DPI was 213 I think maybe 216, I changed it to 180 and I saw no difference at all. this is possibly because there are other modifications to the Rom that aren't dpi dependent or something.
