[Nexus 7 Accessories] Zeros:
Hello everyone, I recently received a Kidigi desk dock for my Nexus 7 and decided to write a review. Here are my thoughts on this dock along with some pictures.

Shipped from China, here's the packaging (exciting, huh?)

The box:

Whats in the box? The dock and a usb cable (no wall plug)

Front of the dock and cable

Back of the dock

Bottom of the dock

USB connector inside of the dock with the spacer in place, for using your Nexus 7 without a case (naked).

Spacer removed, to use the dock with a slim case, such as a TPU case.

Closer shot of the dock with the spacer out. The USB connector sticks up and this causes a slight issue that I will cover later.

Spacer in, front shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock without a case. Fits perfectly and is level.

Spacer in, side shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock without a case.

Close up shot of dock with spacer removed. Since the USB connector is raised (to make space for the spacer), when you use the dock like this with a TPU case on, it may tilt slight to the left or right.

Front shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock with a Nillkin TPU case on. It's a bit hard to see in this picture, but the Nexus 7 is tilted slightly to the right

I had the same problem with an Ibolt car dock for my HTX One X (slight tilt to one side) but that car dock came with a small piece of sticky foam to make up for this space. I figured that was the best fix for this dock, so I put two small strips of thin foam (sticky on one side) on the sides of the USB connector, so that when the Nexus 7 is in the dock with a case on it sits level. This was a simple fix that works. Kidigi might want to consider including two small pieces of sticky-back foam for this purpose like Ibolt does.

All in all I am very happy with this dock. If you prefer your Nexus 7 to display on your desk in portrait mode, like me, then I think you will appreciate this dock. I would recommend that Kidigi include some sticky back foam and possibly a wall charger, but I understand that anything additional would bump of the price, obviously. Please feel free to ask me any other questions or request any other pictures about this dock.

You can find Kidigi authorized sellers here:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] T-Keith:
Thanks for the review. How much did you pay for it?

I liked their dock for the gnex, unfortunately they are not in the us, so it is not compatible with the vzw model.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Pandemonium2k4:
What cord comes with it? Just USB? That link is useless lol where did you buy it from and what country are you in because USA wasn't even on that link.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Zeros:
Yes, it only comes with a USB cable. I purchased from 4u-mobi.com. $32.99 shipped to the US.

http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlinestore/...=nexus+7&filter_category_id=79&product_id=156

I am in Pennsylvania, as you can see under my name on the left.

Lastly, I hope that you understand that the world does not revolve around us Americans, even if we might think it does. Just because that link does not list the United States hardly makes it useless since there are many members here from other countries that might find the link useful. Thanks for reading the review, though.

BTW, If you had chosen "Other country" on that link, you would see that their worldwide reseller is 4u-mobi.com.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Zeros:
In case anyone is interested in one of these, I listed my spare one for sale on eBay. Just do a search for Kidigi Nexus 7.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
This just says Tentative Support for now. However, it is known to work very, very well for numerous owners of this device who were kind enough to work with me the past three days for testing.

This is v3.1 of my infamous patch customized for your device hence it's a glaring v1.0 here.

HydroROM and others referenced my work as a worldwide patch. So, this is the real deal with the latest updates. The old stuff floating around for the TF300 was put together a long time ago. In fact, it was v1.3 and v3.0 came out in October 2011.

Please comment your results, etc. :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mikaole:
Nice to see it up and running. Can confirm this is doing a hell of a job.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mykegger:
I flashed this earlier and can confirm that it works very well.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] solefero69:
Moved the files into system/etc and reboot but my GPS continues to work badly :\

Can I flash it through TWRP?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
Read the entire OP please. There is a section on how to post for assistance. Further, there are plenty of Notes that could resolve your issue.

You said you moved the files into /system/etc, but there is also a file to go into /system/etc/gps. See, your statement is very vague... This is why I wrote how to post so that we all can get the best experience through our efforts to better the GPS systems on 30+ devices I support.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mikaole:
just checked your zip. The xml file is missing.

Maybe it worked for me, cause I already had your xml file.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
...\agps.patch.asus.transformer.300.build.v.1.0.zip\system\etc\gps

contents: gpsconfig.xml

It is there. It's in a subfolder /etc/. Review the ZIP file. :)

EDIT: It has to be the ZIP above. My generic patches will not have the XML as it is device specific.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mikaole:
Just redownloaded and its there. The one I dl this morning didn´t have it. Thats weard.

BTW You brought my HTC Desires GPS back to live :):)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
Very strange. I didn't change the ZIP at all from the time I posted it yesterday.

Glad to be of assistance on multiple devices for you!!!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] solefero69:
Ok sorry! But I also moved the file into the gps folder..BTW I'm on CleanROM JB 2.0 and I have no case... On JellyBean my GPS worked always poorly but I don't know why
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
Have you tried anything in the Notes Section? At all?

How about another rom like Hydro?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] solefero69:
Yes I tried everything in the Notes section. Now i'm on Hydro and i'm giong to flash your gps fix through TWRP :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Sib64:
:good: Works well in my tf300 and my One X - Good stuff :good:

Just installed with ES Files Explorer without problem.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] stevtec86:
Hi guys,

my tablet takes about 40/60 sec., to fix the satellites ...

Can I install this patch?

Can i flash the file with the TWRP recovery ?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mikaole:
yes and yes
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] stevtec86:
Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] zurny:
I just flashed this on Hydro 4.1, it works great. It found 12 satellites withing 3-4 seconds. I flashed it with TWRP too BTW.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -angel*:
Works great with CleanRom 2.5, just didn't know I have to tick everything in this gps settings that its working with Google Maps O_o

But thanks mate, really faster than before!

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cubandanger05:
what may cause the patch for the TF300T not to work? what other patch are recommended?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
Uhh read the whole OP and Notes. You surely didn't read all my work as you told us absolutely nothing.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gengi:
Did anyone tried on new cm10 for jb bootloader on tf300t?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cubandanger05:
So i tried the patch for the TF300 on your OP, it flashed via TWR2 successfully, yet Navigator still says "Searching for GPS"

What am i supposed to tell you that is not going to get me a "Go read the OP again" answer?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
What ROM?

Have you tried other ROMs that are not of the same base? I.E. Not different versions of CM, etc.

Do you have any other GPS apps going?

Have you done Note 26?

How about cache clearing?

What about cases?

What environment are you in? Describe your entire surroundings.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cubandanger05:
What ROM? CM10, 10.29.2012 nightly, ICS bootloader

Have you tried other ROMs that are not of the same base? No

Do you have any other GPS apps going? Not sure what you mean, but No.

Have you done Note 26? yes

How about cache clearing? yes

What about cases? N/A

What environment are you in? Describe your entire surroundings. Im on my porch, no trees around me, strong wifi signal
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] xSvenHD:
I think GPS don't work on that rom.

Correct me if i am wrong.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
Do you have a clear view of the sky?

Regarding GPS apps question: do you have FasterFix, GPSFix, or other apps of this nature installed?

About the ROM's question: it would be prudent to test another ROM since CM does have quite a lot of problems with GPS functionality across numerous devices...don't you think?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] cubandanger05:
Do you have a clear view of the sky? yes. should'nt it pull at least one satelite?

Regarding GPS apps question: do you have FasterFix, GPSFix, or other apps of this nature installed? No

About the ROM's question: it would be prudent to test another ROM since CM does have quite a lot of problems with GPS functionality across numerous devices...don't you think? Sure, i'll be trying a fix the developer posted on the Nightlies Thread.

Question for you, how is it that it can tell where I'm at (i guess Wifi) and even display the route but will still say "searching for gps"?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
Either your GPS is working or it's using WiFi.

Try another ROM that is not CM and is similar to STOCK. Maybe try stock deoxed. Do a Nandroid backup and just test it out.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Tamaskan:
Just to confirm since I use tf300t, I just flash the Transformer TF300 v1.0 build right? Or I have to flash something else? Sorry, I don't really understand your instructions. :/ and 1more thing, every time my rom got an update CM 10.1 do I have to flash it again?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
You should read the Notes. Come on man, don't insult the time I put answering your questions in the Notes. That's kinda a downer. :(
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Tamaskan:
I'm really sorry I don't quite understand them. It's very technical :crying: well actually the main thing I don't really understand is which one to download, there is for tf300t but also there are those trunks things. Again I'm really sorry for not really understanding it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
If there's one specifically for your device, wouldn't that make sense to use it over generics?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Tamaskan:
Actually I wasn't sure about these stuff, do I have to download them as well? 3.x trunk Alternative Options (currently v3.1)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -angel*:
Goddamn, this can't brick your device so just flash the TF300 thing in recovery, I can't see people asking again and again and not even trying things after they get confirmed they should flash the TF300T one -.-

Flash TF300T v1.0 in Recoery (TWRP recommended as CWM caused few issues in the past) and you should good to go!

And no, just download the TF300T zip and flash!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crypted:
TopNTP - the app.

We need bèta testers. Hopefully we can get some useful feedback to optimize this app. The patch itself has been proven to work, we just need to know for as much as possible devices if we can a) really install the patch and b) if the app is sort of clear in its use.

Get it on Google Play!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mikaole:
thx for the update. will install the app in a minuten and see how it goes :)

I did it on a clean install of a Rom. Without the patch i got only 4 signals and needed about 1 minute for a 2DGPS fix.

What can I say. Working like a charm on my Tf300T and GPS is f... fast. Had a 3D GPSfix in less than 20 secs.

I didnt except anything else :), cause I am using it from day one :):)

If you like to add German language and need help, just send me the things you need to get translated and it would be my pleasure to translate it for you :)

[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
What's improved over regular CM9?

Includes tweaks for performance, once you flash it you will see.

EDIT:

This ROM is now closed/cancelled. No one seemed to use it....
[Motorola Droid 3] dasilva333:
Does it work on the XT860?

What version of Android is it based out of?

What are the problems and bugs, does the camera and data work?
[Motorola Droid 3] porky101:
screenshots?

*EDIT*: Never mind, I see the comment made in the original post.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
It's Kexec ICS, Camera doesn't work.

Same issues you have on it you will have here.
[Motorola Droid 3] Nschneider7:
I kept getting a lot of system force closes and one freeze up. Other than that haven't messed around too much though but cool to see another rom out there.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
What did you install through? Also what system apps force close? The freeze up is more of a Droid 3 Kexec issue, but apps shouldn't be FC. Didn't experience that issue, been running great for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] Nschneider7:
Installed with safe strap 2 and it's not apps fcing. It's system process.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
Couldnt get gapps to flash to it..no worries have the apks myself

When i click on the theme button in settings it FC's

Ran pretty smooth but was it just me..the battery fell quickly..i know its ics but doh..
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Hmm... can you give me screenshot?

Don't flash gapps, they aren't needed, already have market on there. I might of removed the theme apk by accident, I'll see about adding it back if I did. The battery does die quickly on this, I"m gonna add a battery tweak in next version as well, hopefully it helps some.
[Motorola Droid 3] Nschneider7:
Hmm... I think I installed gapps... Could be my problem. Gonna reflash/wipe and not do that. Screenshot incoming if I run into same problems.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Everything running okay since wipe?
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
Rom seems to work fine. Installed gapps, they seemed to work fine as well.

Two Issues:

1. This is funny but swiping left (towards the camera), will reboot the phone, since there is no camera app.

2. Calender app is missing.

Gapps:http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#20120429

Calender: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587408
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Not suppose to install gapps ;)

But the camera doesn't work anyway so I removed it. As for the camera, I'll add it back in next version for you.
[Motorola Droid 3] MyNarwhalBacon:
I don't think calendar is part of Gapps but I may be wrong.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Nah it isn't, lol. The last part I put camera and meant Calender.
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Name change, update in as soon as upload finishes.

And Battery Edition for great battery! Not nearly as fast as regular, but battery will be great on it!
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Updated, mirrors up soon!
[Motorola Droid 3] Rocklee99:
do u have a list of what has issues or doesnt work?
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Same as Kexec, but also themes don't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cardsfan01:
Hello i was wondering if anyone has had success tethering this phone to the nexus 7? My phone is not rooted, i would like to keep it that way if at all possible. I use FoxFi and PDA Net and it does connect to my Nexus 7, but for internet only. Google play will not update apps, facebook app will not work, Netflix app won't work, ect. I tried open garden, FoxFi (by itself), PDA Net (by itself) and nothing else connects. What is everyone else using??? Thanks in advanced!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
Open garden works. Download from the market on your nexus 7, then transfer it over. Works great. I forget if it needs root

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
I finally upgraded to one of the ginormous phones after fighting it for so long. I just couldn't take the "out of memory" errors anymore on my Aria. So now that I have the HTC One X, I'd like to sell my mint-condition Aria. It's got CWM and CyanogenMod 7.0.3, but like I said, with hardly any apps on it, it's constantly out of memory.

So my question is what should I do with this Aria before I list it on Craigslist?

Official HTC Android 2.2

Fresh CM7

Other?

Plain ol' stock Aria's are selling for $100-$125 here in LA. Should I add a premium price for having it rooted and custom ROM installed?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustafu:
In my experience, having a rooted phone with a custom ROM had actually lessened interest in phones I've sold. I would go full stock, unrooted, stock recovery also. You never know when someone will want to do a factory reset, and if I understand correctly, this causes problems for rooted phones. The people that know how and are interested in rooting will do it anyway, the rest will be perfectly happy with it in stock form.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
Good point. Thanks.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3452239:
ohhh man. I hope your One X is on 1.85 or you will be very, very sad.. (AT&T im assuming)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
Unfortunately not... 2.2. Hopefully they'll break it though.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fspl600:
I'd go with rooted 2.3.5 liberty S rom. I'd delete some stock apps and overclocked the core. Then i'd sell it. But that's just me:p
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
Stock ROM :) I would pay less if the Phone's ROM is customed.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
I'd just leave it on a stock looking ROM.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 911jason:
Dude... Jealous of your rooted One X!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wistlo:
stock with automatic transmission

My guess is you would have better luck for resale with stock ROM.

I base this on the experience of selling a nearly new car. I have always been a fan of manual transmissions and to this day that's all we have in the garage. About 20 years ago I was assigned overseas and had to sell a nearly new Mazda 626 with a stick. I got few calls, all of whom had overlooked "manual transmission" in the ad and backed out immediately when they realized it. I ended up selling it back to the dealer at a big loss.

Only five percent or so of automobiles on the road today have manuals. I imagine custom ROM users are a similarly small minority.

Even though the experience is better, even though my own technophobe wife loves her Aria running CM7 nightly, a random buyer--who probably will drive up with an automatic--would be more likely to buy with the stock ROM.

PS: By mentioning a car sale 20 years ago, I've probably identified myself as part of an even smaller minority: old people who run with a custom nightly
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3452239:
Here's what you should do. Root it, install custom recovery, boot loader should be unlocked after using unrevoked. Then flash Liberated FR008, so it will look stock, but they can read up on root and take it from there if they care enough
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustafu:
This is well and good until they decide to factory reset within the ROM for whatever reason. I'm not sure if that is disabled in Liberated FR008 or not, but better safe than sorry IMO.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3452239:
All a factory reset does is wipe /data and /cache

Root is in /system/xbin

Could you elaborate on problems that would arise?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanGeorges:
I can tell you that once I tried to wipe data from the ROM itself (not CWM Recover) and it hosed the phone. I couldn't boot to anything.

This was when I first got my Aria and didn't know much about rooting Android devices.

I would restore Stock and sell it. If the buyer asks about any techie-stuff like "is it rooted?" you could root it, load CWM Recovery, and ask if he'd like a custom ROM on it. You could even ask for a little extra $$ for the effort... Just a thought.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3452239:
Ok thanks, I've never tried it so I didn't know.

You were wanting a one x (at&t) right? they just found root for 2.20 if you are still interested.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retsnom:
Is there a way to stream/play videos to my Nexus 7 from my phone(HTC Thunderbolt). Due to the storage limitation on the Nexus 7, I figured this might be a good solution to get around it. I want to be able to stream the media without connecting to a network/router because I spend a lot of time commuting.

I've successfully connected to my phone by FTPing using 3G/4G by tethering my phone to the tablet. I can stably transfer files at 2-2.5 MB/s which sure as hell beats Bluetooth and should be adequate to stream videos. Using ES File Explorer, I've connected to my phone using the same method and it lets me play files directly off my phone using the MX Player. Great.

Of course it's not that easy or else I wouldn't have my this thread. When I try to seek it gives me an error, "Sorry, video cannot be played". The message is persistent once it shows up and the only way to fix it is to reconnect to the network.

Any ideas on how I can get around this limitation? I can't imagine I'm the only one who's attempted to do something like this. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGoD:
I installed samba filesharing (in play store) onto my Galaxy S (CM9). This allows you to access your phone's storage while tethered by wifi to it. No router is required. For playing the video I use BS Player. Seeking works well and even 720p mkv runs without a problem.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retsnom:
Great! I'll give that a try and report back with the results. Thanks!

edit:

It works! I simply installed Samba Filesharing on my phone then with my tablet tethered scanned using the LAN settings on ES File Explorer. Works like a charm. Thank you so much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2LoT:
Hi,

Watching an MKV video through a network share. At the same time, I plug in the USB cable to charge the device. Is the battery used when USB is plugged in? If yes, is it bad, in terms of battery lifetime?
