Dang just lost all i was typing...

Here i go again...

Yes you will need to root the phone

Just plan a solid evening/other several couple hours with lots of free time ... ... getting it going and started can be a bit lengthy your 1st time when you are trying to be all cautious and stuff.... ... And it's a bit different terminology from htc

I would recommend aopk build 4 ... ... "Jellybean" is the newest stuff,, very solid,, and getting the development/support we all love :thumbup:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1847225

Click on the aokp jellybean nightlies link under the download section

Very few bugs and most are very minor ... especially considering the HUGE performance gains, battery life, and fun over the froyo ,,, gingerbread, or ice cream sandwich builds

Droidstyle guide has all the info for rooting/upgrading ... :thumbup:

Section 4 for jellybean install

(read, read, read and read again:) )

And Googles gapps too

Make nandroid backup once you get rooted and into the recovery program, called "cmw boot recovery",,,

That will let you do a full reinstall if you want to go back... ....(but you will never look back...it's that good)

I also recommend to backup using either or both :: titanium backup :: reware mybackup ... i use the Pro of reware mybackup because i use it for: sms,mms, contacts, call history, etc

These let you save and reinstall installed/ favorite/ bought apk's, etc

[Fascinate Android Development] Keithn:
Actually you don't need to root it's a waste of time unless you want to use titanium or something to backup apps or data. The linked guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238070 seems like a good place to start. Keep in mind it will repartition the phone so you will loose all data, so any apps not backed up or numbers not saved to the Google account will be gone. I would recommend CM10 as the best rom to start with, especially since you probably won't be playing with the phone much.

Also try using Q/A for this type of stuff. Development is for rom releases, kernels, or other developments. Keeps this section cleaner, and the mods don't like when you do it :P
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnitedWeFall:
Hey all, quick question.

I have my Nexus 7 installed in my car. Originally it was getting power from a 500mah USB car charger, but it didn't provide enough power to the tablet when running GPS/maps, etc.

So I bought an "8Ware Dual USB Car Charger 5V/2A" to try. I plugged it in, and the tablet doesn't detect it or charge from it. However I can plug my Galaxy S3 into it and it charges fine.

Really confused about this - it makes no sense.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaddeus:
I understand your frustration and it sucks!!

But sometimes even when it says UNPLUGGED and NOT CHARGING, just leave it there for 30-60 minutes. You might see that your battery actually increase... This happens with my Griffin PowerJolt Dual USB car charger also.

You can either blame the device or you can start blaming other issues like the charger, the usb cable etc but for me, I blame primarily on the device.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnitedWeFall:
Thanks for that. I tried plugging it in for a while but it definitely didn't get a charge.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheByteSmasher:
Hey All.. I looked forever to find a solution. The Targus 2A car charger has a small (3") adapter cable that comes with it purportedly for Galaxy Tab. That little cable with the data wires shorted on the device end allows the N7 to be charged from ANY 2A car charger. I'm using the adapter with a Scosche dual 2.1 Amp Car Charger

Adapter picture

Targus Charger

Edit: I just built a usb cable with the data wires shorted on the Nexus end (cut, strip, short micro usb end green and white, remake connections red to red and black to black, insulate splices individually, wrap all in electrical tape or heat shrink for strength and beauty) and it works with all chargers. Took about 20 minutes.
[HTC One V] peril:
Hi All,

Is there a shop in the US (or worldwide) that will repair / replace the screen on the one V? (My wife dropped her phone, and it's going downhill, first a crack, now starting to flicker, only a matter of time till it stops working altogether.)

Looking to not spend a fortune, b/c it's a $200 / phone, but would spend something in the neighborhood of $100 to fix it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JIW:
Out of nowhere my GS3 is very sluggish. Swiping between home screens is jumpy. Some games literally run at half-speed. Launching apps can take quite some time. Etc...

I haven't installed any new apps since the last time I noticed it was running smoothly. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this. I've tried battery pulls, hard resets and clearing the cache from CMW. But nothing seems to work.

I was thinking that maybe an app had been updated in the background that is now a problem. But I can't think of a way to tell which apps have been recently updated.

Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Factory reset, restore no apps. Check got lag. Add one app, check for lag. Continue until lag is found

And when you add an app back, dl it fresh from the market (no restoring anything).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] elementaldragon:
I'm sorry, but when i'm running stock or a custom TouchWiz ROM, i tend to have power saving mode on 24/7, and never experience any UI sluggishness.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:

Depends on the app. Non-stock launchers get very choppy on power save mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laser03251:
Any solutions for this issue... anyone try pimp my rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JIW:
One of the first things I thought of was that maybe Nova received an update that I wasn't aware of and it had broken something. So I tried TouchWiz and GoLauncher... all with the same result. Overall, the phone felt slightly sluggish. But some things apps and games became unusable. The new Rayman game literally ran at half speed. Other games would run at full speed but you could tell that control response was just a hair off. So you would end up walking off a lot of cliffs to straight into an enemy before you could get a jump off. It also effected load times on most things. Some apps that would load in 4-5 seconds were suddenly taking 30-40.

I can repeat this problem 100% of the time. I even tried toggling off the CPU option but Power Save still gave me the same issues (which doesn't make sense).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffdaman:
I have a completely stock never rooted GS3 and have had this sluggishness since the update. It happens when the screen auto dims, even though I have auto-dimming turned off. It also happens when I wake the screen up. I can't get the notification bar down or anything for about 5 long seconds; then it's fine until the shadow of my finger covers the front light sensor and the screen dims. It's almost like a hiccup. I'm going to factory reset this weekend. Was hoping to get Jelly Bean before I did so I didn't have to download all my apps again, and set all my settings. This is my first Samsung Android and it's an amazing phone when it's first started but after it runs for a few hours it gets buggy; so I'm pretty disappointed.

A note to anyone trying to solve this mystery: before the update I couldn't get my calendar to accept custom notification sounds, now I can. Since not everyone had that issue I'm guessing the software had issues since the day the phone was built. In manufacturing sometimes **** happens.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MethodX:
When in doubt pull it out :). Oh I miss the BlackBerry Battery pull days to fix lag ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] G-Man.:
Try Launcher Pro Plus - fastest, smoothest, most customizable launcher there is. Period. Forget Nova and Apex... Go try LPP!! Never lags or gets choppy, power save mode or not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jirv311:
Does that one even still work? I loved LPP but thought it was dead.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MethodX:
It is. Hasn't been updated in like a year and a half.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] G-Man.:
Fede is actually working on a new update. No release date yet. LPP still works better than any launcher out there. I've tried virtually every launcher available, and always go right back to LPP. Who cares that it hasn't been updated in a year or more, it hasn't needed to be updated. It's flawless.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PuffinNugz:
Nice. Same here. Haven't switched to another launcher since the captivate. Glad Fede is ok. I remember a couple months back, one of the android sites sent out a call for him. when you would type fede carnales in google, choices such as "fede carnales dead?" came up.

Just got a C8 yesterday, no screen lift so far. I've ordered a leather folio case too, so it should help "hold" the screen in, just in case!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towle:
I've came to the conclusion that they all have it to a point. Some are just more noticeable. I'm on #4 which is a c9, other 3 were c8. They all have had the exact same thing. The left side of the screen just barely presses down when you look closely. You can easily tell by looking at the silver bezel. Look across your screen at the bezel. The bezel on the right side of the tablet will be just ever so slightly higher than the left side. Sometimes you can't even see the screen move when you push down on the left side. That's how minor it can be. But I don't think that there are any with no screen lift at all. My brother said his didn't have it, but I looked at it and it does just barely. Now he's mad because he said he would have never noticed if I didn't tell him lol. Now he's ocd about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cvbn52:
hey guys!

i will realy appriciate any help on this one:

i am in a light panic attack as i might bricked my first phone..

today i have updated my t989 to ics 4.0.4 via kies, and then rooted it.

of course the root was so i can flash a rom. i chose to try cm9.

any ways, in order not to get the phone stuck in boot loop, i have tried to install the touch version of the cwm recovery.

i did it through the zip on sd option.

the version i used was: CWM6013-TOUCH-CM9-recovery (file size 4.201)

it seemed ok at first.

but then when i retsrted the phone, i noticed that every app i am trying to launch takes forever to respond (about a minute)...

i have tried to do factory reset and it did not help - the phone was sluggish even on the first setup screens..

now i am in the process of downloading the stock version again, to unroot. is this the way to go? did i miss something?

please let me know what info i can provide so you will be able to help me.

again, and i can't say it enough: every help will be very much appreciated. so, did i brick my phone?

thanks!

Dude wrong section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazeecracker:
What all did you do to install the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TubeSteak:
Something like this happened to me on my original Galaxy S when I updated it via Kies to the new stock version. Everything was running extremely sluggish. I don't remember what I ended up doing to fix it but I most certainly did not keep the stock update on there. I rebooted it and let it sit for about 30mins and then rebooted it again and tried using it. It was a bit better but still not good so I just flashed another Rom and then it was lightning quick.

The good news is you didn't brick it if you can still boot up and run stuff. I'd suggest updating your recovery to TWRP as that seems to be the preferred one now a days, it's the one I've been using to flash countless Roms without any problems, and most Devs recommend it. Apart from that, follow the install instructions precisely and you shouldn't have a problem. To be sure, after upgrading your recovery to TWRP, you could do the wipes (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system) 2-3 times before installing your new Rom, that seems to help some people coming from previous troublesome Roms.

I've noticed a few problems people seem to have around here come from the recovery, mainly those not using TWRP and/or using some form of outdated or beta CWM. Hopefully you can fix your problem, I know first hand how awful that sluggish feeling is. Good luck!

Its pretty easy to follow and not much will go wrong if you read the instructions completely BEFORE you try to use them. The bootloader unlocker will not work unless you are rooted. Which will mean you need to flash the root66 image.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazol:
Yes, I mean, it was sort of a fun entertainment to be on a market for a new phone... looking for a better this, upgrading that...

But, with the GNex?

I feel like there's nothing better worth looking for... maybe I'm just easy to please, but I have the feeling that changing the phone would most likely bring me something worse.

I mean, not only for the current phones, but even for the ones to come!!

A faster processor? FASTER??

A better screen? BETTER????

Maybe a better camera, but, come on, is that really noticeable the difference with others phone's camera?

A larger display? Yes, but It's going to loose portability...

A better battery life... but for that you need a better battery, not a better phone!

OMG, will I have to stick whit the GNex forever?

Is there anybody out there feeling the same way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I thought that about my Xperia Play too. I'll give it the fact it's the only phone I didn't sell when I got a new one, but the GNex was too tempting. I'm sure the new Nexus will be tempting as well.

As a side note I still use my XPlay for games. I just can't stand playing most of them on my Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
I want a Nexus with a smaller screen, so shoot me. There are still tons of UI elements that are at the top of the screen and even my large hands (thumb) has trouble reaching the top without shifting the phone in my hand.

Now if they abandon clickables at the top of the screen (and even mandate it in dev guidelines), I'd switch my stance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Im contemplating on buying the original nexus one LOL. You can still purchase them brand spanking new and there are Jelly Bean builds for them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
At the moment I agree that there's nothing out there I'd rather want than a GNex. I just can't leave the pure Google experience now that I'm used to it, and I also really like the physical design of the phone with its completely featureless front. But that doesn't mean the GNex is perfect.

The screen, while nice, could definitely be better. It's a pentile matrix display which, while not all that noticeable at 720p, is clearly worse than a true RGB display. Solid red colors (such as the battery indicator when the battery is low) look pretty damn fuzzy and bad. Beyond that, the screen is also pretty "grainy" (especially noticable at low brightness), not perfectly uniform (faint vertical lines, etc), and is also pretty prone to burn-in.

The camera is bad. Ok, it takes perfectly acceptable pictures with good lighting (outdoors during daytime), but as soon as it's a little too dark the pictures come out rather terrible.

The GPU is pretty weak, especially compared to what's out there now, but even compared to something like the SGS2.

The touch screen loses sensitivity in certain situations (usually after the recent apps menu has been used). Very common issue (although it might be entirely software-related).

Rather weak signal reception compared to many other phones, both when it comes to the cell radio and Wi-Fi.

The speaker is not loud enough, and many (if not most) also have an issue with it "popping" quietly every time a sound has played.

Battery life is ok, but certainly not exceptional.

The battery door is really flimsy, and brings the phone's feeling of build quality and sturdyness down quite a bit.

So again, while there's no phone out there I'd rather have right now, the GNex is far from perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Only thing I could care about improving is the battery life and GPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
It could use a much better screen.

A much better speaker.

A faster soc built on a smaller process and next gen GPU.

Above point helps battery life. And any phone could use always use more battery life.

A much better DAC ( audio chip)

And so on. Phone internals can always be improved. Doesn't mean what's in it is junk but this industry moves at a crazy pace.
