What is the procedure and how do I revert my nexus 7 to locked stock android in case I have to rma my nexus 7? Is it possible? is it easy?

Thanks!

Thanks. I'm tripping out on how you did that with Google. I've never seen that before.

The only issue I have now is weather there is ADB/FastBoot drivers for windows 8 pro 64 bit, or if Windows 7 x64 drivers will work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I have just bought an S3 and I am actually quite disappointed in it's performance.

I have an S2 (Running stock ICS) and my S3 (Running stock JB) is quite noticeably slower, with terrible lag.

I am just wondering if this is normal, surely this should out perform an S2?

The 2 main area where it is considerably slower is opening up my contacts and MMS app.

From clicking the contacts icon it takes about 2 seconds to actually load the contacts, and the MMS app takes about the same time to load.

Also when opening my app drawer it is buggy and laggy when scrolling through.

I notice that I also have little to no free RAM, yes I know how android works and how it utilises RAM but it doesn't seem right to me.

Anyone else having this problem?

I'm also running JB which should be smoother than ICS!

The firmware version I'm using is XXDLJ4

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
you are either doing something wrong or holding a faulty handset, apart from the delay in opening contacts app after heavy usage, s3 will absolutely smoke s2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Thanks for such a prompt reply!!

It totally smokes my S2 in benchmark tests but in real usage it doesn't.

Is there any way of checking if it's faulty?

Like maybe an app that checks all 4 cores are running properly and GPU is functioning properly?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
try disabling media service, its one among the reasons for possible lag, disable power saving mode if enabled

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrobob:
mine is the same it just feels slow and laggy there's a one x in the house as well and it blows away the s3.

my s3 running ics was unusable jb helped but did not fix the phone completely I am very disappointed with it, but also stuck with it.

:crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I don't have Facebook on my phone and I turned off the ripple effect as soon as I turned it on lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IntenseTorture:
Im shocked. How is this possible?? I bought my phone 10days ago, till now I have not seen any lag anywhere except for the contacts and phone. It will be fixed though. Moreover it fly's with the JB update, I love scrolling through the screens its damn smooth.

I doubt if you got the correct handset :confused: . Surely something is wrong. Was it like this from the first day???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
The screen scrolling is fine, it's nice and smooth. It's the opening up of contacts, phone and MMS that is really slow.

I've got the latest UK JB update so it should be a lot snappier, in my opinion.

And it's definitely a S3, no doubt there. Yup it was slow right from the get go.

It's the crazy high RAM use that is annoying the hell out of me
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IntenseTorture:
Oh, Then go to developer options and select background process limit to 4.That should help, but if you are freaking out about the RAM, then don't cause that's how android uses the ram.

I am currently Using Liquid smooth ROM (AOSP) . I have no contacts or phone lag. Use it if you like AOSP
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy080705:
Use an ASOP or miui Rom! JB onS3 is good but Sammy needs to improve.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mossy1963:
yes your s3 should blow your s2 away and NO you shouldn't have to tweak or remove apps, live wallpaper etc.

First try a factory reset...

best and simplest advice for performance issues

.

Then, and only then should you need to try to find out what apps or settings are causing problems (to be honest no settings should retard performance that badly).

Then...and its a longer shot is a faulty rom installation which a reset won't fix. In that case you'll need to reflash DLJ4 from a reliable source, here on XDA, samfirmware, checkfus etc.

If still problems then your issues are hardware related and you need to visit your provider who'll have access to a maintenance centre, or even samsung themselves...assuming you're still running stock. If not you need to use a guide to restore your phone status to unmodified and a flash a stock rom first.

Good luck

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Mine is REALLY fast. More responsive than ics for sure.

Full wipe, stock and..

That's it

Also loading a list with 50 or 100 contacts and some having photos can not be immediate unless its already in the cache..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cynofield:
Definetly do a factory reset, usually fixes most of your problems.

If its being all sluggish i would suggest running "Paranoid Android [ROM]" on it, which is amazing. Or if your looking for something lightweight go, "SuperNexus".

Either way, also go to " settings > dev options " and then change all the Animation Scale (From 1x) to 0.5x it will make the animations faster.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsenix:
Your phone is not faulty.

The stock contacts and sms app made by samsung are too heavy and indeed open very slow. You should try exDialer or jelly bean sms app which can be found on Play store.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
What he said. Samsung have done something with the contacts, phone and mms app which take 2-3 seconds to load. Stupid. I think this is only on JB though, hopefully they fix it soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NOZX:
I only notice slowness with power saving mode enabled. Make sure its not and it should. I would use roms as close to stock as possible, IMO. Flashing and using aosp amd miui like others have stated will probably cause more niggly bits of annoyance then rectify current issues youd only replace them with new ones. Unless of course you have a rom addiction and flash every second day like me
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
No problems here, but have changed a lot.

Disabled S Voice, froze all Samsung applications. Same with services like remote controls, tracking etc. Deleted bin/kiesexe since I never use KIES and the extra ram is handy to have (ROM cooks, here is an idea, ask users if they want KIES on install, if not delete it)!.

Install a good kernel and try running a SQL optimization script to speed up databases. Lastly don't touch supercharger etc to get more free ram (that is wasted ram). It'll slow down Contracts and the Dialer since it removes them from ram. They are loaded at startup for a reason.

Also lastly, turn off unneeded Startups :)

You should be able to find a list of unneeded services and tasks, somewhere on the forum :)

You'll understand why, when you look at the list of unneeded bloatware, services etc running, why it is slow. :) shame on Samsung.

Swyped on GT-I9300 - XXDLJ4 - Siyah kernel 1.7b1 - JKay framework -
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaunsM:
try wiping the cache partition in recovery mode. worked for me
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Lol

My contacts load in less than a second.

Only 2s is after a long time when it has left the cache so typically for me 2s once a day and the rest of the time less than 1s.

Stock rom jb + Disabled GoogleNow + Installed NovaLauncher (this might help)

If not the case then you have a problem not linked to jb.

Yes that's how memory management works...

If you have memory intensive apps you will see it more often.

An app that keeps Contacts memory all the time is a waste as it will never free Contacts memory.

I hope samsung focuses on Real bugs if any.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swift2fly:
ive been saying this since the beginning. the S3 is my 3rd android phone. my old rooted sensation was much smoother in performance than my s3. i've removed a lot of bloatware and uninstalled memory hogging apps. im not a noob to these phones and im not going to praise the s3 just because the hardware is beastly. i think a lot of us are facing lag issues on ICS and JB but some just wont admit it.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac-duff:
Hi there,

well, it depends a little bit which charger I use but one some I have the bad experience that when I have the phone connected to power the display just goes crazy. Means that as long as the display is turned on it pushed/touches automatically some areas in the display without stopping. So when I want to do something I have to disconnect the mobile first and than I can work with it.

As someone similar experience or knows how to solve it?

Thanks

Stephan

btw. it happens also with different mods
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiperhack:
LOL same sh!t happened to me today too.

I moved in another USB slot from PC and seems that issue is gone. But until today I didn't had this issue. Maybe is the polarization +/- from the charger.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trackattaker:
Happens to me also with an universal charger. Touchscreen is almost unusable while charging and laying on the table. But seems to work fine if I hold it with my hands (grounding the aluminium body). This happened also with my Motorola Defy with the same charger. But it didn't have any metal components on the outside so it didn't work correctly in the hand either.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmenc:
Scary

Hehe, first time I saw this was so scary, ghost in the phone.

That should be the charger. I have two non original charges one of then with 1A and the other with less. First of then affects the screen sometime and the other never gave me that issue.

Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Yes. It's because of the voltage fluctuations that the screen starts to react weirdly. The same happens when you use a non-standard AC supply too. Don't keep using that charger and/or USB port for long though.. it will cause damage to your phone screen and more so to the battery.

I have an AT&T HTC ONE X and i finally got twrp working on it, and now i am trying to get CM10 working. whatever I do, anything I do, nothing will boot! everything goes into boot loop. I flashed boot.img with fastboot and still no luck. at first i thought maybe wrong versions of roms, but now i made sure i have evita versions!

i tried viper, aokp, and now cm10. NOTHING!

and also before it goes into boot loop it shows the htc quietly brillian then displays the "WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION" paragraph. but it does go into boot from here and stays in bootloop

i have no idea what to do! i have hBoot 1.09

somebody please help me out so much thanks to anyone and everyone that has any information for me! thank you so much
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
Hold power and volume down until the phone turns off

Release power, but continue holding volume down.

This will bring you to your Hboot.

Confirm you are on version 1.09

boot into recovery

Wipe System

Factory Reset

Flash a ROM for evita

if on 1.14,

Boot into recovery

Wipe System

Factory Reset

Flash boot.img from fastboot

Flash ROM from recovery
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] harryho2:
Thanks! This fixed it for me and I put another Evita Nightly ROM and resolved the issue. I got into a bootloop by flashing a ROM dating back from Aug. After Titanium backup, it got into a bootloop.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Flashing boot.img separately using fastboot is not needed for hbot 1.09, only 1.14.

Always factory reset (in TWRP, not hboot) when switching ROMs, and don't restore system data with Titanium. It was probably one of these that caused the bootloop.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alemcc:
New and having some issues

I also have an ATT HTC One X 2.20 Hboot 1.14 using twrp 2.4.1 and have been trying to install roms but continue to have an issue with the MD5 file. I have followed the instructions above about flashing the boot.img of CM10 but it seems no matter what I do, it can't find the MD5 and says it is skipping MD5. I know just enough not to get out of a bootloop but I am quite new to this. The one odd thing I see is when I go to mount my phone in order to copy the CM10 zip file into the phone, the options I get are different than others I see online: Mount System (unchecked), Mount Data,(unchecked), Unmount Cache (checked), Unmount SD Card (checked). Any help would be awesome.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jered6323:
Long story short, I recently switched to an iPhone. My Epic served me well, but I was tired of carrying an iPod in one pocket, and my phone in the other. The only thing I really miss right now is the ability to use the hotspot without having to get it enabled from Sprint, and paying for it. I'm without the ability to jailbreak right now (lousy iOS 6), so there's nothing that can be done about a free hotspot on the iPhone just yet.

My question is, can data be reenabled on the Epic, even though it's been deactivated? I have an old phone that would still go online after it had been deactivated, so long as I updated the data username/password (##combination of some kind) every time it changed.

So, is there a way to get the Epic back connected to 3G, so that I can use it as a mobile hotspot?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostedunit:
1) Why the hell would you downgrade to an iPhone?

2) Why would you need an iPod and an Epic when you could just add music, movies, etc to your SD card?

3) Call Sprint and ask about a data only plan and fork over the 50-60 a month instead of trying to steal bandwidth.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
As the reply above states, you would need to contact Sprint and sign up for a data only plan.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jered6323:
Simple. The Epic doesn't have USB audio out.

As far as stealing bandwidth, then why don't you tell every ROM developer on this forum to stop including the HotSpot hack.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy_nu:
and im pretty sure if xda got a seize and desist from sprint they will take down links for their application being modified.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Simple. No plan=no 3g. There is no way to fool Sprint's network into releasing you an ip. If that were the case people would be hacking Clearwire's 4G internet floating around.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreyjicha:
Why would you need the hotspot? Iphones have 3g and wifi, and if you have the new one, LTE. I see no point in this endeavor. Why don't you just pay your carrier to use the built in hotspot? You're going to be paying for it either way.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Its not stealing data, we pay for the bandwith... not going to go into this further cuz it always ends badly, but using the hotspot that devs have modded isn't "stealing" bandwith... a feature, maybe, bandwith, no...

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jered6323:
Thanks for the answers kenny and flastnoles, i thought of PMing either of you to ask, but figured I'd just post and see what I got. The only reason I even asked was because I only use the hotspot once every other month, if that, so paying $30 a month just doesn't make sense. This entire topic will be a moot point once the jailbreak for iOS6 comes out, because there's a tweak that'll do for the iPhone what the HotSpot hack does for Android.

FYI, using the powers of Google, I've also found out you can activate the hotspot for about $1 a day. Just call and ask to turn on hotspot with an expiration date.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Technically I guess you wouldn't be "hacking" clearwire because afaik you still would need a clearwire modem to make it work... ;)

thats pretty much the same as cloning esns. it IS COMPLETELY legal IF you have the two devices in your possession and not trying to sell one of them without the other, you also have to have the esn(blah blah blah) attached to the back of the device you cloned it to.

and as for clear 4g, im currently trying to use it as a doner to use on boosts network. in turn can be used for our epics
