[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
Yeah the constant `secure' talk makes me worry a bit but I have faith Google won't take our balls away from us.
[Nexus 7 General] Linexus:
There is any details about this version?

In any case, I'll update as soon as it released :victory:
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
They had to push out 4.1 in time for the Nexus 7 release and probably didn't get to finish everything they expected. Now they're just releasing the features as updates in the form of 4.2.
[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
4.2 will be the "finished" Jelly Bean, bug fixes and tweaks.

Probably. Truth is nobody knows anything, but when it comes it should be no surprise.... This is a nexus device you guys.
[Nexus 7 General] brando56894:
I believe the word "secure" is used in the sense of being protected (such as being protected against buffer overflows and other malicious attacks on memory) not unhackable. This will most likely stop malware and the recent batch of NFC attacks. I would say we don't have to worry about Android's openness :)
[Nexus 7 General] e.mote:
>I believe the word "secure" is used in the sense of being protected (such as being protected against buffer overflows and other malicious attacks on memory) not unhackable.

While malware will be a much more serious problem on mobiles than on PCs (since mobiles have associated phone/CC accts where funds can be directly harvested), securing against malware attacks is different than from piracy attacks. Frankly, much less attention is given to malware than to piracy, because the second impacts the vendor's pockets, whereas the first doesn't. More succinctly, malware is perceived as a user problem, not a vendor problem.

The terms "media streaming" and "transactions" when used in conjunction with "secure" almost always meant anti-piracy protection. The go-to solution has been hardware crypto-locks. Most PCs nowaday have TPMs as part of their hardware. Most phones are locked down, and tablets are going down the same path.

Going forward, most media will be consumed via online streaming, with phones & tablets being popular endpoints. Traditional "offline" sources of media piracy (BluRay/DVD/CD) will take a back seat, as movies/music will be released online first. This means a greater impetus for anti-piracy measures on mobile devices, and probably PCs as well, going forward. This in turn means that most of these devices will come locked.

The Nexus brand I think originally came from a desire to have a reference device. Then it evolved to be Google's solution to break free of carrier influence, ie the N1. That failed, but the brand became a means for Google to steer the Android ship. The N7 came about primarily to ward off the forking threat from Amazon KF. Now, apparently it is being used to cajole OEMs to have faster OS updates. Note that nowhere in its timeline is "openness" a criterion for Nexus devices. It only happens that way thus far.

>I would say we don't have to worry about Android's openness

Android itself is open, ie AOSP, but that doesn't necessarily translate to open Android devices.
[Nexus 7 General] Dubbin1:
Couldn't have said it better myself :good:
[Nexus 7 General] Empress Leo:
Sadly, I am a VZW victim as well. I plan on buying my next Nexus unlocked direct from Google and go on a month to month plan from T-Mobile. Although I just rooted and got JB anyway but I shouldn't have to do that.
[Nexus 7 General] CHollman82:
Good question... another good question is why is he posting this in multiple threads and starting his own thread just to post the exact same thing?
[Nexus 7 General] android88:
Of course we are. The Nexus S started with GB and is now officially on Android 4.1. I think the last official update for the G-Nex will be Android 4.2. I am assuming all of this by each device getting two major upgrades. If we go by this, the N7 will be updated to 4.2, than 5.0.Still, it is good knews that Android 4.2 is already running on the G-Nex and the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] Mach3.2:
And from past experiences, they used dessert names, candy cane is just a snack, so it most likely won't be used.

Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
[Nexus 7 General] Borteeo:
Not that kandy cane is in contention, but Jelly Bean is enough to disprove that argument.

Next major Nexus is rumoured to be based on Optimus G. Nobody who knows more is talking.
[Nexus 7 General] futty:
This is nice. I never really got an os update ota
[Nexus 7 General] stevejr47:
I wonder what 4.3 will be called, Licorice?
[Nexus 7 General] kevinchen1102:
what a great news!and the new nexus phones!cant wait!
[Nexus 7 General] sol_671:
I don't think it would be 4.3, after 4.2 it's heading straight to 5.0, I've read that somewhere. Sorry unable to post source.
[Nexus 7 General] zottelmonster:

The features from the second link in the tread are looking interesting: Customization center for example....

[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
No. The galaxy nexus will get far more than just 4.2. There is no reason for it not to. Google is still supporting the nexus s on 4.2. I expect it to get 5.0 as well.
[Nexus 7 General] jonnyg1097:
And if they dont then the devs here sure will. :D
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
Why do people still use this lame ass line?

You mean poor souls who buy a VZW GNex to take OTA's, cause I haven't had a problem loading up AOSP here
[Nexus 7 General] AirBoss24K:
The Gnex and a the Nexus 7 are going to be getting first shot at these updates for the next few years at least. I wouldn't be overly concerned or shocked by any of this!
[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
Exactly. I haven't been on the stock Verizon ROM since I bought the phone in January. And that lasted less than 24 hours
[Nexus 7 General] b4silver:
Honestly I don't want the 4.2 update. Reason being it will throw all the oem providers into a frenzy. This is all fine with those of us with entirely nexus devices. But my gs3 is still sitting on ics. And me being on Verizon I'm probably out til after Christmas.
[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
Its gonna be key lime pie anyways.
[Nexus 7 General] djkinetic:
I'm sure you know this but Root and Unlock the BL, then throw a custom recovery on that GS3, flash CM10 and you have JB on it. I ditched TW on my ATT GS3 the minute an AOSP rom was available lol
[Nexus 7 General] miketoasty:
Speculation has it staying as Jellybean for the time being.
[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
That would make sense.
[LG Optimus 3D] Skyscraper90:
Hello everybody!

I hope that this question does not exist, yet. Your forum search engine is down?!

I have a LG P920 with V21e (german, unbranded) on it. I also have it rooted and using some root-apps. Modified some things for bluetooth-keyboard and vpn to fritz.box, too. So /system is not original V21e.

I want to reset the phone to factory settings and "factory" stock rom. (Delete all apps,data, ... - Flash stock V21e)

Can anyone say me: What is the SAFEST(!) way to do that (on Windows 7 x64)?

Thank you everybody!

Greetings

Skyscraper90

PS: Sorry for my bad english. I'm from germany.
[LG Optimus 3D] lzzar:
Did you perform a backup in CWM before editing system files?
[LG Optimus 3D] Skyscraper90:
I have never installed CWM? :angel:
[LG Optimus 3D] Kaleptik:
Reflash the V21E kdz. It'll put the system back to stock and remove root.

Afterwards, you do a factory reset in recovery.
[LG Optimus 3D] lzzar:
Next time. Always do a backup if something goes wrong or you want to restore easily

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jcossack88:
Does anyone know of an in depth comparison between the GALAXY S III and the GALAXY Note II? All the ones I have seen have been on basic features such as picture quality and design. However, I want to know what shooting options are different in each. How the Snapdragon processor stacks up against the Exynos. What differences in the main settings menu there are.

Basically, I am considering getting the GSIII on Sprint because its rumored to be $50 on Black Friday and that is a killer deal, but I also really like the Note II. However, $250 isn't really justifiable to the spouse unless its a Michael Kors purse....obviously.

So if anyone knows if a video like this exists please post one. If not I guess I'll wait until the Note II drops in America and go back and forth between the device inside a Sprint store. Thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corey_r:
I have heard if people having a loose power button, but nothing of a loose and rattling volume one. I can hear it move whenever I move the phone from a flat surface or whenever I tap on the top of the screen. Should I get a replacement? On an of topic thing I just removed my screen peotector and live the feel without it do I really need it as long as im careful? I have the ballistic case on with a naked screen. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
As a rule, if there's a hardware defect (not of your doing), use the warranty exchange. Your under contract for this device. It should work. Just my opinion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corey_r:
Well I just replaced the device yesterday cause my camera had a spot under the lense lol. I think I just have bad luck with phone haha.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Keep taking it back until its perfect, that's my advice.

[Asus Transformer TF700] SRCP:
I recently exchanged my Prime for an Infinity and I'm noticing that the latch is not locking all the way. Damn it Asus! haha. Always something wrong. The latch locks partially and then I can slide it all the way to the right, if I don't, it can come off. I expect a 500 dollar device to get this kind of things right. I like the tablet but man I'm not sure I'll buy from Asus ever again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Did you purchase a new dock or use the dock from the original Prime? Asus has stated that they are not compatible, even though they do work... Others have found the same issue with the tf201 dock...
[Asus Transformer TF700] SRCP:
I have the Prime dock. Yeah the website's search wasn't working but I found a topic where others talked about it. Oh well, I'm just gonna have to deal with it.

Just saw this at the Asus' site:

(The Eee Pad Transformer Prime mobile dock is NOT compatible with Transformer Pad Infinity) :rolleyes:
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Interesting. I bought the Infinity and the dock to go with it, but it is clearly a 201 dock. The box has a big sticker on it with TF700 but underneath it has the TF201 written above part number.

Mine locks in fine - what Serial number is yours? Mine starts with C7 (the dock, not the tablet)....

I have seen others saying the same thing, but since we essentially have the same dock, it baffles me that min locks perfectly fine and yours does not.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
My TF201 dock does exactly the same. Nothing to worry about really. You just have to remember to latch it fully.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yeah, there is obviously *some* difference in the docking portion of the TF201-specific dock. I know that someone did a teardown of both and they looked identical, but they didn't acutually go to the level of tearing down and comparing the actual docking part of the dock - I'm guessing that is where there is a slight difference...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
its just a little tight the first few times.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SRCP:
It starts with C4.

Someone said it locked fine for him after some use, maybe the spring got softer. Hopefully I'll be as lucky.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Mine had docking issues the first few days, too. Had to manually force it to lock. (Push the tablet in as far as it can go and move the slide myself.) Now it works fine.

Bought it as one pack because the Netherlands doesn't have the loose variant at all, but the dock is a 201 regardless.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wilkhaven:
My UK Infinity supplied with the dock is being returned as the right hand pin doesn't lock the tablet. The lock pin slides completely to the locked position but the tablet can still be lifted out on that side (the left side stays locked).

I have to say I'm very disappointed that a premium device has shipped with such a fault - but have to commend Amazon UK's customer service in getting the issue resolved.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeilGregan:
I have the same issue, i bought the device from the u.s but i live in the uk. It has been for repir 3 times and today i got it back and the problem still persists, I have been told that they will not exchange it and all that can be offered is further repairs. Each time i have sent it for repairs they have damaged my device. I am at a loss as to what my next course of action should be? The repair centre is in the czech republic. Can anyone offer any advise please? My dock is the correct one even though it was labled as tf201.i emailed asus with my seriel number and they confirmed it was the correct dock for my infinty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] originalnabisco:
I have the TF201 dock (the actual TF201 dock, bought at the same time with my ex-Prime). It fits exactly how it is described in this forum where the latch doesn't fully close unless you push it closed.

I think this is because the Infinity feels just a tiny bit thicker around the edges, therefore it doesn't fit properly in the dock and applies more pressure to it.

It's really not much of an inconvenience. I just gotta put a little more force into docking the tablet, and make sure to place the latch properly. In my opinion its not worth sending in for repairs because it works as intended, just needs a little more push since its not technically designed for the TF700.

One little trick to getting the TF700 to fit nice and easy into the TF201 that I found was, when docking it first push the tablet's docking edge a little bit into the docking part of the dock, then place it flush against the back-part of that component. While applying a little pressure to the back-part, slide it into the dock. This alleviates much of the resistance the dock gives usually, and I barely have to apply any more pressure; in fact it feels as if I am sliding the correct tablet, the TF201 into the TF201 dock.

Of course every dock could be different due to bad QC or wear-and-tear. My friend's TF201 dock got really really loose and the TF700 slides right in a little too easy to the point that it rocks a bit in the dock.

If you insist you can try to find the actual TF700 dock, I have never seen one in the wild but I am assuming that it will fit properly with the TF700, without that slight little extra bit of squeeze.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeilGregan:
Thanks for your reply but I should explain further. I bought my device from the USA from a company called buyspry. The device has been in for 3 repairs from the UK and the dock does not stay attached. It does not fully lock and has been damaged by the repair centre. I was given the option of something called buy back from asus e.u. I was asked by the service manager in the UK to send a copy of my receipt which I did. I was further told that they would not accept my receipt because it was purchased from ebay and I was told the company are not an authorised asus stockist.

I have contacted this company and they have confirmed that they are an authorised asus stockist. Asus UK will not accept my ebay receipt but I have a commercial invoice. I have emailed the company in the USA and I am awaiting a reply from them as I have requested an email of the commercial invoice which needs to state there VAT number. Hopefully if this is accepted by asus UK I will be given a full refund. The whole process has been a nightmare and as such I regret buying from the USA as replacements are not offered in the UK and no swap stocks are available and the only other option I have is to send it for a further repair. I have owned the device for 2 months and for half that time it has been in for repairs. Each repair was made worse by dents and scratches and the screen bleed is just as bad if not worse. I hope this is of use to anyone experiencing these issues with a device bought from the usa.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rIcHrD:
Similar problem - which bit did you send back?

I have a very similar problem - neither pin engages, also from UK, also from Amazon. Did they ask you to return the pad & dock, or just the dock?

Hi everybody,

i have a speaker issue with my phone. When i play music without earphones, the back speaker doesn't works but when i call and i select back speakers it works. Moreover, when i call somebody, i couldn't hear the man speaking by my front speaker.

I have a Xperia U (ST25I) with stock ICS(4.0.4).

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Asycid:
Don't worry, your speaker is OK. I think you have a software problem. Try to make a factory reset after you back up every important things on your phone. If it still not working, just make a software reinstall with SUS. Should work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamoquera:
I'm interested in knowing if there is any method to unroot the Kindle Fire HD. A method to get back to stock would be useful as well. Just in case I had to send it back to Amazon. I've been searching several forums (finding nothing) before asking this question. Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chelle01:
They have some tools that can un root. And I believe if you do a factory reset it erases root.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Yes, a factory reset from within the stock KF recovery will break root and revert the device to stock.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
I'm going to say that this is not entirely correct. Using the factory reset will break an app's ability to perform rooted tasks (because Superuser will be gone), but it's not going to return the device back to stock. The su binary will still be in place on the system. To really go back to stock, you'll have to go in as root, remount the system read/write, delete the su binary and reboot.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamoquera:
Thanks for all your answers. So If I'm right doing what you said (erasing the su binary) and performing a factory reset the device could be sent back to amazon, I guess that Google Play and all that stuff will desappear without leaving any trace. Am I right? Thanks again
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xyth:
I just tried this as I wanted to start over and do a clean load after root now that I have a better idea of what I'm doing. Upon starting after factory reset, the kindle presented the dialog box asking me to choose a default launcher. This would indicate anything you install into the system folder needs to be deleted prior to resetting.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
Factory reset does not unroot the system. I've done this multiple times.

I sent my rooted but factory reset KFHD back to amazon for a refund. I made sure to delete any files I put in system/apps and anywhere else in the system folders. The factory reset will not clear those files out.

I took the risk and I received a refund a couple hours after they received my device. Most likely it will go back to whomever refurbs their kindle fires and then it will be returned to full stock. I did not find any info so far as to unrooting the KFHD.

Might be different scenario if you sent it back for service.

PS. I made sure to drain the battery and turned off the device and packed it up. Also if you are using anything such as a secondary launcher, I would go back to KF launcher and then delete. Deleting it while using such might cause it to go into a force close loops. Same for keyboard, etc.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamoquera:
Happy to hear that. I thought that doing a factory reset wasn't enough, but I was waiting for a confirmation.

You were lucky that amazon has such an amazing customer service.
