There's absolutely nothing wrong with rooting.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if you dont like having complete control of your device, then rooting is bad, very bad. stay away from it. because root will give you complete control of your device. me i like root, because i like being in complete control ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Rooting isn't bad on a nexus device, the process of doing it on other devices that are locked down can be a little dangerous. I bought my Nexus two months ago and never had a problem with screen lift.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Never had a problem with a Rooted device, its like getting admin rights on your computer.

Screenlift is fine if you don't have it from the unboxing, you don't have screen lift.

If you can't get WiFi connection, I suggest you don't buy a N7 (FLAME ME NOW!) haha.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrsi:
First thing i did after unboxing : root and unlock my N7 :)

I want complete control over my device! There's nothing bad with it.

But no wifi connectivity for a "wifi-only" device? There are UMTS dongles that work with the N7, but dont you want a device with integrated UMTS?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsirfandude:
will i be able to CONNECT INTERNET THRU 3G DONGLES WITHOUT ROOTING THE NEXUS 7 ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsirfandude:
Thats why am eagerly waitin for the 3g version of the 32gigs version:)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
Rooting is very easy. Especially since this is a Nexus device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
I think you'll be waiting a while for that.

They haven't even rolled out the 32GB version yet, let alone any versions with 3G connectivity.

Like I said if you can't get WiFi in your area, there are only 2 options, either constantly tether it with another device you have that has data connections, or try to get a compatible dongle.

Otherwise I would either get another tablet, or wait however long it takes Google to release a 3G version
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carrsi:
Ok :) I use my Galaxy Nexus as a hotspot. Works very well :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsirfandude:
Thats really bad :(

Don you think that getting a nexus 7 is worth more ?

Moreova i ve got less tym to get one coz there is no availability of n7 in india yet

And the other thing is that i am getting one next month as my friend is out there in usa who'll be coming here for his vacation !

Wish google releases something spl soon

Keeping my fingers crossed !

If released l8 there ll be no one to get me :( :( :( even if i have the money :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7of9:
rather than trying to mess about with a

USB

3G Dongle, which may or may not work as it is not supported out of the box, why not get one that also has wifi capabilities?

a quick ebay search found this for $30

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/7-2M-3G-...rs_Dongles&hash=item3cc806b408#ht_1477wt_1397

but overall, i wouldn't recommend a wifi device to anyone who has no access to wifi

does your phone not have a wifi hotspot functionality?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apocalypse487:
I thought India had internet cafes. You all have pay as you go plans for data right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
I would get a tab that is capable of what you need.

The Nexus 7 clearly the tab for you, as much as I love the N7 and would choose the N7 over anything, this is a logical recommendation to you.

A wifi device needs wifi, simple as that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsirfandude:
S absolutely and its damn cheap ova here

For example we get around 2gb of data for just $2 in ur value with a validity of 1month
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsirfandude:
To my dismay i ve got an outdated nokia 5230 with no wifi in it :( :( but i luv nexus 7 and now scratching my head to get one no matter what

But can you pls explain what is this WIFI DONGLE AND ITS FUNCTIONALITIES?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsirfandude:
But i dono how u LOGICALLY RECOMMEND this device when i ve got no wifi around :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PROlific666:
I think he meant to say as much as he loves it and would choose it over anything else it is a illogical choice for you. Especially since underneath he says a WiFi tablet needs WiFi simple as that. I think he just had two critical typos. If you cant get WiFi then you would really have a worthless device. Idk how it works in India but most free WiFi hotspots in america don't allow large downloads off their WiFi so you really wouldn't even be able to load it with games. Honestly there is nothing you can really do with the N7 without internet connectivity. You could get a MiFi type device that would emit your own personal WiFi signal but you have to pay a monthly fee from your cell phone service provider if they even offer it at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsirfandude:
Finally i ve got this question

Despite all the flaws (i think there are many including the screen lift dead pixel unresponsive touch screen)is it worth buying ?

Am getting it from usa to use it in india but what if i have a problem with the device ? Cant replace it !

I fear that alot

Pls help me in deciding to get one or not !

I got my GN2 today. I got a update right away but wasn't the multi Window update. How to identify where my GN2 is from?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AjunNg:
Well where did you get the phone from?

Also it should have the local language on the box.

If you're worried about not getting the update, reset it back to factory and at the setup just choose a region which has that firmware released. Like the UK. Then you'll receive it OTA.

I live in USA. Bought from a importer negrielectronics. Gonna check box when I get home. I got one update but is not the multi Window. Doesn't matter if I choose UK as my language it doesn't go by that. :)

Or just root and flash a custom Rom. ;)

When I get email about someone adding me on Google+, I would click the picture or the "view profile" button and it used to launch the Google+ app. Now, it brings up a browser with a link to the mobile site or to get the Google+ app.

Tried uninstalling the app, but it comes with ICS so I could only uninstall all updates and reinstall them, didn't help.

Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
What if you just opened the app?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
What is the time frame between "used to" and "Now"? Would this be from Gingerbread to ICS? If so, this sounds like a HTClinkifydispatcher.apk thing... see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1696536

Not positive this is the issue, but whenever I hear of links opening the browser and not in the associated app, this always comes to mind.

hello all, just wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with webcam/secuity apps and if they had any recommendations or tips. basically im wanting to take one of my extra android phones so i don't have to use my s3 and put it in my window aimed to my front yard. id really like to have it record constantly through the entire night over my wifi and save to one of my pc's. something is tearing my yard up at night, either the lil neighborhood kids or animals or an army of mole crickets. i don't wanna go the motion route incase it is mole crickets that is why im looking to go the record entire night avenue. any suggestions on an app that seems to fit the build would be greatly appreciated. thanks

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
There's one app that completely turns your phone's camera into a webcam, i had one where the cable had to be connected but now a days might even be wireless. Something like this might work for you. Then have your computer record the webcam feed using a recording software like manycam or Cyberlink or something like that.

You know what, there are a lot of cool apps like the one i posted. here is the entire search list i did on the play sstore.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
It's not going to work. Any phone camera won't pick up enough light in the dark to get a clear picture. The easiest way is to buy a webcam and USB extension cord and just use the computer.

Another method is to make a Skype name like dkdhsbj18374 and set it to auto accept video chat. That's for survelliance from a remote location. You can also start the Skype video and use a screen recorder on your PC. Still the quality will be garbage in low light though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] veritasaequita:
i do appreciate the first set of info u gave. would you happen to remember the app name you were referring to? as for the play store search list thanks but i had already tried that approach only to find so many and it seems as if the user comments never correctly reflect the apps rating. that's why i figured it would be good to ask here and get a more xda-ish recommendation as we seem to hold way higher standards than average joe in the market with a comment like " f#c#kn sucks! Fc on ny G1" or "eh, its ok. best freakin app ever! FTW!" but thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
hahah yeah thats true! I blame the market, they dont allow you to type a lot.

But i cant remember the exact name, not to mention the quality was horrible. This was maybe like 4 years ago when i had my Touch pro 2. But i just downloaded DroidCam last night and its freaking awesome. Love the option to have the light on, plus the quality is phenomenal!

Just tested out IPWebcam and its really cool. Best feature: being able to turn screen off and still use it. Its browswer based, you can put the URL into a media player and stream the contents, or you can right click and click save as to record the contents. Live latency is really horrible but might be because of my wifi. But once its recorded its all synced up. Actually am going to use this to see into places i normaly cant, like when working on my car :) Thanks for having me discover this :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BerMM:
Camera and lighting issues aside, iSpy will do time lapse recording on a schedule (very configurable), and it is free so long as you don't need their online features (remote access, sms/email alerts upon motion detection, etc). It has by far the most options of any PC based surveillance software I've found.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khoikn:
I've always been a doubleTwist user on Android but I was curious about other softwares that could transfer my music and playlists.

doubleTwist is fantastic application to transfer files but sadly the cable sync feature doesn't work on the SIII (or does it? Any suggestions)

AirSync with doubleTwist is fantastic as well, but my home WiFi connection is garbage so it takes too long to sync.

What are your favorite applications to sync music and playlists?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] frankth3frizz:
Google Music! Love it. I don't even use my ipod anymore :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crackmulah:
+1, Google Music all the way. I use easy ums app to transfer files or just stick my SD card in my Mac for faster transfer. I have used AirDroid before to transfer files and it worked very well and was fast even on my terrible wifi
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] peterkef:
Audiogalaxy. syncs perfectly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznrmx1112:
I agree. Google Music will work just fine.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khoikn:
Thank you so much for pointing the "easy ums app" my way.

Finally able to mount my SIII in Mass Storage again.

it's perfect for ones who used itunes in the past. keep your library :good:

MusicBee is BY FAR the best desktop music player I have encountered - both for use on the desktop and also for synching.

Much more intutitive and easy to use than MediaMonkey, etc., very full featured (has replaygain, fade, etc) and unlike a lot of other programs I have tried which tend to hang, crash of sync very slowly, it works easily every time.

Im surprised more people dont use it - it took me a while to discover this program and I think it rocks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
I've heard that the JB bootloader gives a few, quite nifty new features. My question is how should I go about installing this bootloader? I've seen mixed responses all across the forums lately about how and where to get the JB bootloader.

Anyways, I am unlocked and currently running Cleanrom 1.3. Great rom.

I'm still on the .22 bootloader.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
So just flash this from TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
yep
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You may want to install the AndroidRoot bootloader first to make the backup files required for wheelie and nvflash. Doing this before flashing the JB bootloader is your last chance.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901479
[Asus Transformer TF700] vsTerminus:
Yea you should be able to just flash it from your recovery and be done with it.

Alternatively, you can do it with fastboot (which is handy if you flash a ROM that requires the JB bootloader while still using the ICS bootloader). See my post in the CM10 thread for more on that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sandmann241:
I'm on JB rooted and not unlocked. Did i got the JB Bootloader with the JB OTA Update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] vsTerminus:
Yes. The JB Bootloader comes with the official ASUS update.

Thanks to rockypr for his idea to do this on FH23. List all the fixes, bugs, additions or whatever you want to discuss about the official FI27 release.

I will start.

Some quotes from the community:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
First!

It's running great so far with agat's source kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
I think the thread title should be changed. Its not a leak. Source was released and OTA was confirmed on sprint community site.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Great point. I just copy and pasted from my last one :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
^^ True. This is going to be the latest OTA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I'm trying out a stock rooted deodexed build I made a little bit ago and it seems like the scrolling is a little bit different from FI25. Also, I haven't run stock in forever, so are these wifi icons the same as they've been for a while? :screwy:

And yes the recent apps "bug" is still there but can be fixed pretty easily.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
As far as differences go this build feels almost identical to FI25.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Can't wait for the LG Nexus. For the record I called that 2 months ago before the whole world. I feel special now :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
That can be good or bad... What's the verdict so far? Is it worth leaving a stable and battery friendly rom for this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Can you change that FI25 to read FI27 on post 1 please? ;)

Also, someone set me straight please because I thought #1 and #2 were changes already in FI25. Are we not creating a changelog for FI25 to FI27?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Damn it. I always forget that part. And yes it is a change from FI25 to FI27. I fixed the OP. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
I'm running Re-Calked 0.2.1 FI25. Last night I flashed Agat's 0.6.0. No problems at that point. Early this morning I flashed the FI27 modem.

Checked my phone later and had the dreaded LOS. Flashed back to the FI25 modem and all is well. I'm going to need my phone for awhile so I'll have to stay on 25 until I can get some free time to try again. I've only seen this on my phone a couple of times, and the last time was probably last December.

Anyone else seeing this? I'm in a good signal area, and my wife's phone had a strong signal at the time.

Hopefully this is an isolated case.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
have you seen the first sprint JB build for our phone has been confirmed by sextape ?!?!?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Yup. Earlier than I expected but good news nonetheless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] felimz:
I had this problem for a while now. The only thing that fixed this was freezing the Sprint ID process using a free app freezing app like App Quarantine. After freezing the app, my phone behaved wonderfully.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Clearing the app's data fixed it for me when it misbehaved once.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
So I think I have narrowed my issue down to something with FI27 specifically and my SD card. If I being up storage it just hangs there in calculating. Now I did download a 3rd part gallery app and that loaded the pictures just fine. However if I try to bring up my camera it just says media scanner running then the app closes right away. Same thing with the stock gallery. I have tested this on the stock tar that sextape leaked. Dan's tersus ROM and Garwynns one click. I have tried formatting manually and also downloading the version that do a complete wipe.So all I can say is that something is up with FI27 and certain sd cards. As soon as I role back to CM 9 b1 I have no issues and I also have my goto nandroid backup of EL29 and that also works as expected. This is very frustrating. I guess all I can do is hold out for a JB leak or possibly the LG optimus G cause I am getting tired of all these issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Battery is pretty good on first charge. @ 6.5 hours with 1hr 40mins screen time and about 15 mins calling

Oh and 35% left :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I'm at 6.5 hours with almost 3 hours screen on time. Listened to Pandora at 3/4 volume on my headphones for about 1.5 hours while I did some yard work. 15% battery remaining.

I would imagine with standard use, and no bombs like Jelly Been being dropped by sextape, this should easily get 12 - 14 hours with about 1.5 hours screen time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
If you happy with that battery life performance you should give cm9b1 a test drive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
I'm happy with it. Cm9 is a different story I can get 15hours with 4 hours of screen time and like 1hr of Pandora
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
I've tried CM9 and honestly I'm kinda bored with it. I'll give it another try once it is official or if i happen to be on IRC and Chris asks me to test something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
What tricks did you do to get that? I underclocked and undervolted and was pulling around 12 hour average with horrible stand by time. But the rom itself is butter everything is so smooth and web browsing is so fast. Like websites seem to resolve faster just the whole experience is night and day. But man on gb I average 16 hour of battery and I also just bought a new battery so I keep going back to gb
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Not much. Used CPU sleeper. Would lose about 6% overnight (7hours). All stock with placebo gear 3. Ams WiFi about 70% of the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gtalkalot24:
Has anyone actually received the OTA?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Not to the best of my knowledge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Has anyone checked Kies for a download?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
However, for those that don't keep up on every single leak, since this is official... an observed changelog between the official's would be awesome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
So we need someone to flash back to FH13 and then update to FI27 to find out what's different between the two official builds???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
This right here is probably the closest you'll get. I've been running it for a bit now and have noticed no differences between FI27 or FI25.
