[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manyones:
Hi, I'm using Nexus 7 with stock JB system, with a usb keyboard, and when I use Vim both esc key and ctrl produce a ^@ character. I wasn't able to use mappings with ^@ char to get anything working (most importantly ctrl-[ for escape).

At the very basic level, I'd like to get Esc working, but ctrl would be really great, too.

I can see that android itself does understand ctrl key as a modifier, for example to jump over words in any editor by using ctrl+left/right.

How can I get this to work? It seems like such a tiny thing but it keeps me from being able to write code on N7, write and edit longer text documents.

Any help / hints appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reyes.jr:
Hey guys, got a couple of questions hopefully you can help me with. I've moved out into the country and there is hardly any ISP's out here. Only ones being the satellite ones. With that being said, I have verizon unlimited data for 2 more years and I was wondering, if I plan on using this as a daily driver for tethering on my computer, can I call verizon and tell them I'd like to pay $ a month for tethering? Isn't it like $20? Would I be limited on how much data I can tether? I'm trying to do this the right way if possible, I don't want them to cut me off or anything like that.

i JUST got 4g signal today at my home (guessing they updated one of the towers out here :D

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
You should be fine tethering on unlimited w/o a tethering plan. Verizon actually got in trouble with the FTC for blocking it on LTE. I do it all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reyes.jr:
Alright, I'm guessing your rooted correct? While I'm gone my wife will have to be using her 4g but she does not want me to root her phone so were using an app, thats mainly why I was asking. Thanks for your reply!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TJBunch1228:
Try tethering using FoxFi from the play store. See if that works ok for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
Incorrect. What the FCC slapped them on the wrist for is having third party tethering apps blocked in the Play Store. Per the FCC, Verizon is still permitted to charge C block (LTE) customers on an unlimited plan a separate tethering fee, regardless if they use a third party app or not. What they are not permitted to do is have third party apps blocked from the Play Store, or charge tiered customers for tethering.

For those still on unlimited plans, everything, save for apps no longer being blocked, remains the same as it was before. If they somehow detect your tethering, they can charge you for a tethering plan or drop you altogether.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SolidHelix:
Been using my laptop for a year now. And I'm anal when it comes to making it run like clockwork. Was playing around with black bean ROM on my nexus, when things went funny. Boot loops, wouldn't charge. Had no backup at the time cause I switched recoveries and twrp wouldn't load my cwm backups. Wishing at this point this phone had a sdcard. So I get it to boot up and instantly plug it into my laptop to copy over a ROM. It didn't detect my phone. I figured id leave it plugged in to letit charge for a bit. I go back 10 minutes later and the computer is froze. The phone is blazing hot and it just shuts down. I managed to flash cwm while it was running so was able to load up a previous backup. The problem now is the computer now freezes every 20 minutes or so and I have no idea what's going on!

[Atrix 4G General] Berrabus:
So Im a proud owner and enthusiast for the Atrix 4G (original only I cant stand any of the others released they did it best first time around). Ive had this phone with some minor problems for over a year. For a while the phone would randomly reboot in my pocket so long as it wasnt doing anything. If I were playing music on the device it wouldnt reboot but the second I stopped the music, put it in my pocket, and pulled it out it would be powered off. I reset the phone to factory (I had a flashed rooted rom on the device) and the problem stopped.

Now about 3-4 months later I made a phone call put the phone in my pocket to pull it out with a black screen. Now I thought the phone just died was all so I went in and plugged it in to the factory wall charger and to my surprise the LED came on and the phone chirped that it was charging. So it was actually still powered on. I tried looking at the screen from all angles and shined a light on it but there is no picture to be found anywhere. Otherwise the rest of the device (to the best of my knowledge) is still working properly. I could confirm this by my alarm going off in the morning and my in-ability to turn the alarm off due to a black screen.

Also ive pulled the battery, allowed the device to die, and have tried several chargers and other batteries I have so its not a battery or power issue. The screen also remains black on boot, you know the device is powered on once it boots into the OS and chirps that it has service.

Ive dis-assembled the phone to check all the cables in hopes that it would be a simple fix such as a loose cable however everything was double and triple confirmed to be plugged in and locked in place.

I had allowed the phone to die and waited a day or so with the battery pulled out once it had died and then plugged it in and allowed it to charge before powering it on for 30 minutes still to no avail. Ive even tried hard-naving to factory reset and still have had no luck.

To me, it sounds like you have a broken LCD screen.

[Android General] oldfield16:
As someone who didn't think the galaxy s3 was going to feel like that major of an upgrade over the Hercules, I gotta say, I tried it out. And then having been fairly convinced by the display, I traded my Hercules + cash for the pebble blue one off Craigslist.

Gotta say, wow. AOKP JB runs literally with no bugs for me (some ppl have call echo but I'm lucky enough to not), AND and just wow. I never knew how much of an upgrade this device was. If anyone out there is skeptical about upgrading, don't be. You won't regret the switch.
[Android General] Rekzer:
If its running AOKP, then it cant do anything the SII cant do. Its just a bit quicker. I'll avoid the impulse buy and see what comes this fall.
[Android General] Digital1325:
I've been tempted to lately just since it's been so long since I've had a new gadget. But honestly, not sure if I want to go with another device that's held at the mercy of carriers/manufacturers for updates. I want the next Nexus to come out soon...
[Android General] davwman:
I assure you its not worth it. If you have money to burn, go ahead. I've had and returned it for a gs2
[Android General] Teo032:
hey its one of those posts that gives the op justification and gratification for buying a product!

I can totally say that the s2 has AOKP JB with literally no bugs, some ppl have RR and SOD but I'm fortunate enough to not have those bugs!

I'm just messing with you OP. enjoy your S3, i will join you when i break my s2.
[Android General] oldfield16:
Well I wasn't shallow enough to upgrade just because of aokp, I think that'd be just a liiiiittle bit weird. Just sayin.

The display and smooth interface was what got me, it's significantly better than the s2, totally never expected it to be be. And more than an impulse buy, it's a phone that I think will last a long time. Mostly posting this for those who were questioning upgrading.
[Android General] blackangst:
Cool story bro. I hope you like it better than my best friend likes his.
[Android General] Pee Wee Herman:
My friend has one and like blackangst said. My friend hates his and is wanting to get another S2.
[Android General] elesbb:
I'll get one once the price comes waaaaay down on Craigslist for them. The screen and camera are about the only legitimate upgrades from our device
[Android General] RushAOZ:
A few of my friends have it. Its much faster, (side by side app loading and gaming) the screen is much better, the camera sensors wreck the ones on this phone, the battery life is MUCH better.. what exactly isn't worth it to you? Youve had this agenda against the s3 for awhile now and im starting to doubt if youve had the handset at all. The phone is an overall upgrade. Were you expecting it to make you breakfast??? I dont get some of you noobs. This phone is great but the over infatuation some of these people have with the t989 is overwhelming. Personally im waiting to jump back into the nexus line.

Actually my buddy also went from the t989 to the s3. The only thing he doesnt like about it is that wifi reception is a bit sketchy compared to the t989 but hes loving everything else about it. Hes a current tmobile employee and says the s3 is the best handset tmos got in its line up. Id say its a worthy upgrade for the 720p samoled screen alone.
[Android General] 0Tolerance:
Why get a S3 now when the note 2 is right around the corner and the new nexus probably coming right afterwards?
[Android General] flipq88:
Yeah the International note 2 is around the corner, god knows if tmobile will even get it, as for the nexus, it's a cool phone but as long as it doesn't have ex sd I will never get one. I myself really want to upgrade to the S3, but I'm a little hesitant as I have seen some of my friends' S3 already scratched from the screen. One of my friends had an s2 and now the s3 and he cracked the screen after only one drop. He said the drop wasn't even that bad. And I'm a person who doesn't like any cracks or scratches on the phone screen. And I fumble my phone a lot lol
[Android General] Teo032:
Interesting maybe i should check on the durability.

I'm the same way, keep my phone nice and pristine, but i rarely drop my phone. I actually only dropped it 3 times. 2 with case phew, and once without... Which was the worst thing possible... i put it in my shirt pocket got out of the car.... Bent over to check my tires a routine i do weekly.... Bam onto my bricked type driveway... on the corner too... I stare at my flawed Bezel every day from then on... I never leave anything in my shirt pocket from that day forward. What made it worse was that right before i got out of the car i just removed my full film protection for that corner because it was getting uhhh linty/dirty. Felt like bad luck Brian lol
[Android General] oldfield16:
Can I ask why ppl went back? I know the person I got mine from just didn't like the center button, which I actually like. Worked out to be a good deal for both parties.

Also, regarding screen scratches, why the hell don't ppl just buy some $5-10 screen protectors on Amazon for their $600 device?? This seems like an obvious fix to me..

Also, the original international note didn't work on tmobile 3g/4g, nor am I likely to find the deal I got for this for one of those behemoths. Expandable memory is what won me over a nexus device also, I already have the tablet so this fits what I want a bit more.
[Android General] Teo032:
protectors will resist some scratches, but what we were worry about is the screen cracking............... I've dropped my phone waist high on concrete and uneven ground yet minimal damages. If his friend barely dropped it and it shattered his screen... It sounds very weak.., like iPhone weak.. I've seen my friends and people drop their iPhone from sitting Down and you can hear the glass shatter.. If it's like that... I rather not buy it.

If you haven't noticed there are very few cases of broken screens in this phone section. Hence i would like to see how the s3 holds up.
[Android General] flipq88:
Yes exactly what I am worried about. Because I myself have dropped this phone and its landed in every position imaginable, yet there is not a single scratch on the screen. As for iphones, yeah I don't think I have seen one yet without some kind of screen damage lol
[Android General] 0Tolerance:
I for one will wait to see who's going to carry the note 2, tmobile already dropping the first note after a few weeks is a good sign noting that they got on board with samsung with the note and maybe wanted to test the waters or might have been part of the contract of them signing on for the note 2. Either way I'm heading the note or new galaxy way with tmobile or not. Which would be straight talk because att can kiss my a$$.. But yea the nexus really needs that external slot and hopefully not have the headphone jack on the bottom of the phone.. smh
[Android General] suprakarma:
I made the mistake of upgrading to the sensation when it first came out, then the s2 then the gnex, then the one x came out so i learned my lesson n wait for the fall, after all software its what makes any outdated phone like new, and the s2 runs jelly bean like a champ and even with the little random bugs its a daily driver, we are less than 3 months for the new nexus device to come out, the new phones out there are still dual cores, better ones yeah, but still our phones are capable of the same features, and not all apps are compatible with ics and not to mention jb, so at this time of the year, why rush to buy a device that will be outdated in 3 months?
[Android General] flipq88:
Duuuude, I almost did the same thing with the sensation. My EX girl was able to get an extra line and we were planning on getting me a phone and I was getting the sensation. For some reason we never did and we ended breaking up a little later. So when I went to TMobile to get a line on my own I got the s2. Thank god for that. Imagine, I'd be stuck with a sensation and under my ex's name. Phew
[Android General] oldfield16:
Has held up fine for me, I always keep my phone in a case after I ruined my vibrants screen a year back. Might say I'm paranoid of all screens breaking after that lol
[Android General] vmartinez39:
I want to get the GS3 but I'm like stuck. Don't want to rush and buy the latest and greatest because I did that with G2X, big mistake.

I have the Amaze and GS2 and these phones are last fall's flagship devices. Also got them because the Radios will get 3G on ATT (Straight Talk).

I'm just gonna wait. Also what really turned me off was that new phones all use MicroSIM. And personally, I switch phones alot. That really was the one reason I didn't get the GS3, and I was ready to get it retail price.

Still, GS2 has lots of life, and finally got it's DEV section going with CM9, CM10, which wasn't the case a few months ago until Samsung released the ICS source code.

Only pain I have is some regret getting the Amaze 4G mainly because the Devs don't have the source files to make it fully functional on ICS. But there is progress and despite that, phone feels very nice and premium.

Its an itch to buy, but I got way 3 Android devices already. And once the drivers are released by manufacturer, any old device will fell new because of latest AOSP ROM. Only thing that gets on my nerves is the low resolution of the GS2. But besides that, phone is a beast.

Only issue is the Echo on speaker. But whatever, sure enough the Devs will iron that crap out.
[Android General] Silencer96:
It's not worth upgrading to the non-international version of the S3 because the CPUs are (almost) similar. But I've got to hand it to you, if you have money to burn, then yes, it IS worth upgrading, but ONLY if it's the international (aka quadcore) version.
[Android General] sbddude:
Screen resolution alone is worth the upgrade over s2.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jvx333:
So today I long pressed the home button and it popped up a screen with apps on it, what is that ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Brooklyn8807:
It's your recent apps list. If you swipe to the left or right you can close that app also..(i think lol). They are the Same apps when you pull down your notification bar
[HTC Amaze 4G] jvx333:
Cool thanks.

Yeah you can close the apps by swiping them left or right. Basically like a shortcut to task killer I guess lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] archonur:
Hello all,

I have been using my TF700 for like 3 weeks now. Yesterday suddenly it started to flicker. First I tried cold boot and it turned normal but today it got even worse. It stops randomly and then starts again.

so should i return that or is it just software issue? (dammit i cant out the youtube link)

EDIT: It fades away after like 10-12 seconds, do you think it is software related? Using latest firmware btw.
[Asus Transformer TF700] screecwe:
"5. Disable "smart dimmer", which is the reason you can see some screen flickering when changing between light and dark backgrounds that many find annoying (described by some as "dynamic contrast", which it resembles):

To disable:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/tegradc.0/smartdimmer/enable

To re-enable echo 1 to the this file or simply reboot.

Be sure to include this in a script so that rebooting won't change it (just make an .sh script with the above line in it, you can use either SManager or system .sh scripts (you can use my simple solution posted here if you don't like editing files yourself). See also jtrosky's hints on changing the brightness settings.

Please note that it may negatively affect your battery life, although with brightness set low it shouldn't be much worse.

All credit goes to those who have found out about it - see this post for details."

[Asus Transformer TF700] archonur:
thank you for your reply. it just occured that for example when there's a flicker on the screen, if i turn on auto brightness, it goes away.

the thing is actually i do not know if it is software related or just bad hardware. returning it to amazon would push me in a lot of trouble (like shipping it back, waiting for repair or sth) and the biggest problem that i don't have that much time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] screecwe:
I'm under the impression that the autobrightness and the smart dimmer are two different things. The smartdimmer cannot be turned off without doing the edit i pasted above. Try it out and see if it works for you
[Asus Transformer TF700] archonur:
omg this is totally not normal right? it got even worse(see attached pics)
[Asus Transformer TF700] psych2l:
Um yea, I'd get that replaced ASAP
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yep - that's the same kind of graphical glitches that I had before I rebooted and my TF700 was dead (although my glitches weren't quite as bad). After rebooting, my device would just lock up at random places during the startup - sometimes at the first screen (where it says your device is unocked), sometimes at the Asus screen with the circles and sometimes I could even get to the Android lock screen (or even further), but in the end the device just keeps locking up hard. Tried all of the normal "reset" stuff including going back to complete stock, unrooted, etc...

In my case it's definitely a hardware problem, but since I was unlocked, I can't even get warranty service.

Just curious as to your locked state, rooted state or if you were running a custom ROM...

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] archonur:
luckily i haven't unlocked it yet and i am sending it back to amazon for replacement. hope i will get one without problems, but i have some doubts about it after reading hundreds of complainings in forums.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vo01985:
My screen sometimes flickers when playing a game. The game also crashes at this point. I wonder what this issue could be. After a cold boot it usually works fine for a couple of days.

I've only had this tablet for 2 weeks now, but some issues like poor io performance, screen flickering, and the screen flex on certain points on the screen are really annoying me. Maybe I should go to the retailer and ask for a replacement.
