most if not all these low tech gadget accessories are made from similar materials at more or less crappy working environments by workers that are not so well compensated, that's just business, no sense of over compensating someone when you get get the same for less

point being that you could have paid 20 bucks for a case yet you will never know for sure if they mistreat their worker or used materials that are otherwise harmful to your body

while i see your point, i guess the false sense of getting better quality when paying extra or by buying brand name is something that i disagree with

by the way, it is just a tablet case, not a baby feeding bottle or health supplement, even if they did use something that can possibly be harmful to our body, i doubt it will have any significant health effects before the case or tablet become obsolete

my 2 cents
[Nexus 7 Accessories] emmabellachristian:
with this case thats false it does not do that. i have the case and love it. and the smell everyone is talking about is due to the fact its fake leather fyi and its in a tight package. ive had mine for a while now the odor smell went away after a day being out of the package.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] LouZiffer:
These cases are polyurethane, and that's the "chemical smell". It's normal.

Your comment is also somewhat ironic what with your being an advertising shill for kevikev, a reseller of Chinese-made products.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] softballjunkee13:
Clicked on link. Case is like $29 or something. What gives?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] testaccount:
it was 2.99 when it was posted, guess the sale is over

most of us got this same case for 5 bucks, i got another one for 2.99

seriously it is not worth any more than 5 i first paid but it does its job
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Im kinda outta the know, but i see a few Rogers guys that cant root since the 1.94( i think) update but can unlock thru htcdev. Some of you guys are having trouble getting a flashed recovery to stick, so you cant get a rooted rom flashed. Well, there is a VERY simple solution for you guys.

You have your recovery.img in your adb/fastboot folder and your in your device bootloader.

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Ya ya, you tried that, But Wait!

Now

fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img

That WILL boot you into your custom recovery. Now u can nandroid and flash your rooted rom. Once booted up, go download goomanager and install recovery from there. That one WILL stick.

If you ever temporarily need to use the stock recovery, simply put the stockrecovery.img into your adb/fastboot folder and just do

fastboot boot stockrecovery.img

do whatever, after you reboot you will still have your custom recovery, since all you did was boot the stock recovery, not flash it. Also works vice versa:D

Added:

if you boot a cwm recovery at first steps, after installing recovery thru goomanager go make a new nandroid because twrp wont restore a cwm backup.

Hope this helps out a little:beer:

can someone explain me why doesn't this rom support high brightness as the stock does?

Me and my sister have the same phone. abiously she didnt even touch its sys but i did.

comparing those 2 admissible phones i found that the brightness in her phone is much (muchhhhh) higher...well anything to do? and why??

low brightness

i bought sony xperia s for the big display but why doesn't cm9 supports high brightness ? is there a zip or something we can flash it to have more brightness ? please help

Living in the Tampa Bay area and with Tropical Storm Isaac about to turn into a hurricane right down the road, I was wondering what the best weather app out there was to get notifications/alerts? -thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
I have been using WeatherBug for a long time now. As far as Alerts go, its always worked best for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cloaker:
Agreed. Used weather channel app forever, finally bought weather bug elite, and I haven't looked back. Network location alerts are easy on the battery and spot on for me.

Edit: I must say, radar looks wonderful on this huge screen. Haha. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeah totally agree with the radar. Some apps look real grainy on the Radar. But with EB Elite its very nice. No impact on battery either for myself. Even if u have weather updates in your Noti bar

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IRBanite:
Thanks for the suggestion. Got the app last night. Seems really nice. Hoping the best for New Orleans and surrounding areas in the path now that the track has moved more to the west.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Ohh that's great. Yeah I'm sure you'll like it. I'm big on weather, cause of my work. This is definitely the best I've encountered. Yeah good luck to you and your family. Hope for the best.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TraderGary:
Weather Bug Elite. Put a check mark in satellite to make a stunning display on the EVO IPS screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
My main issue with weather bug elite is that the closest weather station for my town is roughly 20 miles away and on the beach. This causes the current conditions/forecasts to be inaccurate many times.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cloaker:
I can see how that would be a problem for you. Although, for me, radar and weather alerts are big requirements. The alerts come from NWS, and location of stations doesn't really affect radar.

ty for your fast reply

I've already tried it whit stock rom 2.2 and 2.3 from huawei page but on end i get error message failed update

before this stock roms works fine

I just think it can not be written to the correct partition

the stock rom can not do that, I realized even before this where I worked with 2 android systems I had to repeatedly use the tools of Geno

to install stock roms

(twosys-partition.zip) for install 2 systems

(offical-partition.zip) for 1 sysem like stock rom 2.3

I think there is something wrong with this partition 0p13

Maybe this would help create a new partition

how can I get access, and I do not know what format

Maybe there is a different solution

I am very grateful for any kind of help with my problem

There's been a lot of talk about who will create the next Nexus, how many there will be, etc. I've also noticed a lot of posts scattered throughout different threads where people have voiced their opinion on who they would like to see make the next Nexus. So I figured it would be good to get all of this info gathered in one place and really get a good idea of what the current Nexus owners would like. So if you would like to participate choose your favorite OEM and leave a reply explaining your decision.

P.S

If you're using a forum app on your phone and want to pick your OEM then open this thread in the browser. The poll is up top. Thanks...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
If only Google could get them all to collaborate think about it, Samsung provides the gpu and cpu, motorola does the battery and radios meaning theyll be one cdma and gsm phone not cdma only and gsm only, htc does the body of the phone, Sony does the camera, and lg provides the screen. and asus makes a padphone like tab for the phone lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
Has to be samsung after the disappointment which is the samsung galaxy s3 (hardware and captive buttons wtf). It can only be sony. HTC has had there go Samsung devices although good are stained by bad finish and motorola couldn't because OEM would get worried (don't you dare mentin LG).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yungboss22:
HTC : NO. Why? SLCD, little battery, Bad speakers.

Motorola : Yes. Why? Great battery life, fiability, good radio and reception, kevlar/carbon design, good quality and no defect, inventors of the cellphone.

Samsung: Maybe. Why? Powerful cellphones, beautiful design, UNBRICKABLE, good speakers, amoled screen, great support and warranty but Bad battery life on each phones by Samsung, bad quality, many problems, bad reception, not completly open source (Exynos cpu)

Sony : No. Why? Bad performance cellphone, great design but too little screen, SLCD, bad speakers,

LG : Yes. Why? Great screen and phone quality, always up to date (hardware section ONLY LOL), good camera, speakers and battery life.

HTC. Good-looking (but not as beautiful as Samsung's) design combined with durable build quality and excellent hardware.

I'd vote for Samsung as I've owned several (including my current Nexus) and love their screens and design. However, as a Professional Driver, toughness matters; and my old HTCs took quite a pounding and kept on going!

That said, Motorola would be my 2nd choice as they seem to be right on par with HTC AND have excellent radios!

Ugh! Decisions! So confusing.....

Anybody but Samsung. Let someone else carry the torch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewmungus:
Seriously I'm the one one who picked asus. They don't really have a track record with phones but look at their tablets, ultrabooks, and laptops. They have also worked closely with google before the Nexus 7. As far as updating and not trashing AOSP in their devices. Plus they make simple but nice looking exteriors for the tablets and padafone. The phone part of the padafone is really nice also. I think they would be more willing to do exactly what google says and be able to crank out a product quicker and cheaper than others. The Nexus 7 is a great example of this.

Sony has been catching my interest lately. I kept notice just the external designs, but then the whole getting added to AOSP. It seems like they might have a decent chance to make a nexus.

Samsung, I gatta say no to. In the Galaxy s and s2 eras of phones they had better processers and screens than every body else. Now not so much, the One X is said to have a better screen than the s3. And Snapdragon S4's are a really nice processor that any company can use. HTC would be a good choice.

I think regardless we will get a snapdragon S4, same or slightly better screen, LTE across both cdma and gsm models, possibly a little bit more ram, and the rest all the same as we have now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I love LG's screen but their phones tend to have terrible battery life.

Bash all you want, but Nokia has the best hardware I've ever used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I've been saying that for ages. Not only will it be the ultimate phone, but all companies will get the new android source code to update faster. They will also have stacks and stacks of patents in case apple tries to sue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I know Nokia thinks they're above Android but they would quickly become a major player if they went to Android, if I was running Nokia, I'd be all over it, especially now as it's all Samsung's top spot to lose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andro X:
Yea the screen on the Spectrum was really nice. I definitely wouldn't want a phone from them though. I still haven't had a chance to check out HTC's screen on the One X. Next time I hit the mall I gotta remember to go into the AT&T store to see it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zax10:
I have to say I have been following Sony since the Ericsson days. They can make really good product. Hardware yes they tend to be behind. Screen to little that is just up to the trend of the buyers.

I hate Motorola's mainly due to the blur. Product wise they have really good design and screens are average to me.

I love the feel of an HTC but sometimes it is like they try to hard or not enough. They can't get in the middle.

I despise LG.

Nokia would be awesome if they embraced Android but I would think they wouldn't get a strong American following due to the younger generation not knowing much about them.

Samsung well I love the power, screen, performance. I hate the battery life and cheap feel to the phone.

Overall vote would go to Sony or HTC just due to I think with the right performance hardware matched with the quality of their builds.

I wish asus could build it. Samsung dropped the ball with the galaxy nexus imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I disagree with many things here.

HTC: Slc2 has been said by many if not all reviewers that it is the best 720p display they've seen, especially when compared to super amoled HD. HTC has amazing build quality as well, so I don't understand why Motorola only has it.

Motorola: Wrong it does have defects, and not all phones have great battery.(coming from a Motorola cliq xt)

Samsung: low speakers and all phones are brick able(android at least).

Sony: I have never heard of Sony having bad phone performance,, I think maybe you're talking about LG dude. They have awesome speakers, best camera on market when it comes to android and iOS, and reviewers have said that Reality display is gorgeous.

Lg: all they have coming for them is top hardware. Their software sucks, and their phones are the ones with most defects.

Just my opinion.

Sincerely,

An anticipated Nexus user who wants Sony, Motorola, or HTC to build the next nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Some of u guys here wishing for nokias are obviously not familiar with nokia's politics. They do make good devices, but they intentionally f*** up one segment of the phone to force to upgrade in the future, either the camera is bad, on another model the camera is great but the screen is crap and so on... u just can't expect an all-round great product from them.

Secondly, they had time to dominate the smartphone market with symbian which was really on top for a long time (at least in Europe) , and they missed their chance, symbian is still slow and laggy to this day and has not evolved a bit.

So, my conclusion is that i'm happy they're dying, their WP move bought them some time, but it won't make a difference in the end. They made the wrong bet, there is no space for 3 leading platforms on the market, and honestly i don't see a competition to android and ios.

really suprised samsung are in the lead there quality control is abysmal , never have i swapped so many phones upon purchase for one half free from defects. Ive owned my mine since last nov / dec and already have screen burn from nav bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
The rule of thumb that i know is related to digital photography, but anyways, i don't deal with theories, i deal with numbers:

Android 61.0%

iOS 20.5%

Windows Phone 7/Windows Mobile	5.2%

so to attract users, Nokia has to struggle with HTC, Samsung and whoever else makes WP devices, all in a small margin of 5.2% that WP holds of the total smartphone market share.

But if u insist to talk theories, even with WP8 none of the economical predictions show a big progress in their market share, at least not in the upcoming couple of years, all numbers fluctuate between ~4-8% , whereas android is predicted to go over 70% very soon.

i won't go into any troll discussions with you like the ones u usually have in iOS related threads. i rest my case :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZN6:
I personally choose Sony as the next Nexus series because both it UI and design. Sony's UI is one of the best and most beautiful UI in the market. I agree that Samsung is good at CPU but the UI itself is pretty bad. Just look S3. Nice phone but Samsung use worst UI ever. That why I dont like Samsung and LG phone. I do like HTC device but signal reception is pretty bad and design also not so good. Hope Google choose Sony as their next Nexus series device.

well, i just disagree with the motorola bits. yes, of cos not all motorola phone have great battery life, and it does have its defect. but we're talking about flagship phone here, not middle or lower end phone. and they have improved a lot since google takeover in my opinion.their phones recently really caught my eye. eventhough htc have great built quality but for me in term of design and build quality, motorola is first.

on LG, yes, their hardware is great(but not the best), but lame ass software. thats why it will be significantly better if LG make the nexus. Google control the software. though i just cant seem to think about buying an LG phone. felt like they dont have something special that other manufacturer have.

asus, in my observation is the most supportive towards their product, and really know what customer wants (well,maybe just me, idk). among all the android tablet only asus caught my interest .

nokia, for me is too overrated. yes they have good build quality and design but they are too oftentoo late to catch up with the market. their decision making is really bad. i gave up on them the moment they gave up on meego. really dissapointed

in conclusion, for next nexus

1. motorola

2. asus

3. htc/samsung

4. sony

5. lg

edit: and for those thinking those htc/moto/samsung/asus/lg/sony make great/ugly s**t ui so they better make the next nexus/not, doesnt matter, googles' the one who'll make the ui

If Google is making a low-end nexus device it will probably come from ZTE or Huawei.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peteyc66:
Why are people talking about manufacturer ui when it wouldent even matter for a nexus device ? Isint Google in control of software and designing the device and the manufacturer builds it based on the hardware they use ??

Personally I would like to see either Sony, Motorola , or Asus make the next nexus phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deeren:
+1 on the UI comment.

It doesn't matter who has the best ui or not.... anyway the nexus device will always be pure android

Personally I find Samsung still did a nice job with both nexuses in the past.sure there are some faults and defects but nothing serious.

the nexus 7 made by Asus is a great device for the price but man...it is so flawed with manufacturing defects.

Screen flickering present on most of the devices, screen lifting ...light bleed..

I would vote for Sammy or motorola

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
With all due respect, I don't really see room for a real third competitor.

Android, unless something crazy happens won't realistically drop below 50% share, iOS won't go below 25% most likely, if not increase.

So that leaves 25% at a maximum probably for RIM and WP8 for scraps and this is best case scenario because I feel Android will go above 60% and iOS will go above 30%
