extract out file recovery.img from stock's update.zip. put it on your PC. put the update.zip on your root microSD. then connect your tab to PC and restart it to fastboot mode (bootloader mode). then run command prompt and type this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash reciovery2 recovery.img

fastboot reboot

after reboot your device must begin flashing stock's ROM

So I updated an SG1 to 4.1.2 now the guy came to me and said, his mum phone broke so she wanted it back, but she was using Kies from Samsung, of course his mum doesn't realise that 4.1.2 is a big improvement but she rather has a gingerbread with touchwiz.

But I'm not planning to restore that SG1 to stock, I just want to flash him a touchwiz ROM and then I'm done as I explained him I was doing an unofficial update and hey was fine with that, but was so stupid that he didn't know his Google account so his contacts are gone, not my fault of course, because Google makes backups in your Google account.

So I hope someone who is familiar with this phone can point me to a good stable stock based stock ROM so his mum who is very selfish by taking the phone back because her new phone broke, has no release to complain anymore that her Kies is not finding it.

As you know, the new Nexus has been announced and will only be on GSM networks. I would like to get out of Sprint by roaming but want to know if there's any negative side effects. Do you have to send your phone in? Does your credit take a hit? How long were you with Sprint before trying this move?

Unfortunately I just resigned with Sprint and was hoping the new Nexus would come to sprint even if it took a couple months.

When this drops, will you be looking to purchase it? I think I'll probably get it if it's under $30 bucks... I'm hoping it's much cheaper but trying to have realistic expectations. Unless they've revolutionized how fast it will charge, induction charging is more for novelty IMHO, but no less... What do you think?

Definitely

Honestly, Ill be paying whatever they ask (within reason!) to get the charging orb; sounds like an amazing toy.. and Honestly, it does sound like a real convenience to me *imagines grabbing phone from bed in morning*

To be honest judging by performance of getting accessories to market, I would be surprised if we see this on the market in the next 4 months.

I'd love to be wrong, but I've seen this script so many times before.

I don't get it though, accessories for gadgets have huge margins. People are way more likely to splurge on them when the device is new rather then after a few months when the shiny new toy feeling wears off and rationality prevails.

Not having this stuff available at launch is commercial idiocy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Did they have pre-release videos for the other devices with their rumored docks? I think the fact that we are seeing videos of the Orbs, and that they look fairly refined, is a pretty good indicator that they are already in production, and will be released along with or shortly after the release of the phone itself.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seamus5:
Your right, this appears at least to be further advanced than the Galaxy Nexus pogo dock was at the time (only a render at launch time). That one was a complete disaster.

Still going to the Google play store official accessories for the nexus 7 still seem to be unavailable (at least for me).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivlac978:
I don't understand why people don't understand the reason for this. When you go to bed you don't have your phone in your pocket right? You put it on a night stand or a desk. If you could just plop it on the desk and it charges wouldn't that be cool? Also less wear and tear on the port. The whole idea or charging this orb so that it charges the phone sounds incredibly inconvenient. That would imply that you would carry this thing around for a quick charge but it is still slower than plunging it in. That sounds like more of a gimmick than what the thing really is, a cool bedside dock.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
I wouldnt bet money on this thing being released this year. Nexus accessories have an extremely poor track record. I really want one but dont think it will be released anytime soon, if at all. I would give it 8 months to never.

I think the only way this thing gets released is if T Mobile buys into it and orders a bunch.

The good news is that we should be able to use the slew of good looking Windows 8 chargers instead of the Energizer monstrosity thats currently out.

There are working units of the Nexus Q, a lot of them, that thing is never coming out. Google is absolutely horrible at finishing things. Also I dont think there is any evidence that the thing actually worked and wasnt just a plastic thing with magnets, in everything Ive seen it was unplugged.

Qi charging has no data connection at all, the dock doesnt need blutooth anyways because the phone already has it

Anyone know how efficient those things are? Are we just wasting power by using those things or is it negligible?

Sent using xda app-developers app
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
They can be up to 70% efficient
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
What about worst case usable scenarios? I'm thinking of making a portable Qi solution and am determining feasibility. Don't see too much point to it otherwise personally besides preventing excessive wear on the stupid microusb port, although that hasn't been a problem with my more recent devices
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Uh, worst case scenario, <<1% efficient. It's really hard to make that determination, several factors impact the efficiency, if we assume the most efficient it can possibly be (or reasonably be) is 70%, then anything you do will reduce that. The efficiency of inductive charging is limited because of the way magnetic fields propagate. There is a property of space called magnetic permeability, it is affected by the materials in it, empty closed space is the most permeable scenario, adding any material changes the permeability, and it will always be less than empty space. Air also is very permeable. As you add material to that space, you are making it less efficient. Another issue is that magnetic fields are propagated radially in all directions. So as you move away by a factor of r, the strength diminishes like r squared. I can't say for certain that the components inside your device will actually function below a certain field strength, but even very far away, there is still some field generated by that charger. Also, induction is not selective, any material capable of supporting an electric current, inside the area of effect of the charger will have some current induced in it, even if negligible, all reduce efficiency.

I don't think there is any point in making a portable inductive charging system, except maybe as a car dock, which would be plugged in still.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
Sure, of course, but I mean before the phone drops out. I played with this idea briefly before but got distracted. I got a cheap old Powermat and some Droid backdoor. Moving the coil off axis or away too much and the phone no longer recognizes it's "plugged in"

I'm curious what the efficiency is when the coil is lifted to the point right before the phone stops registering a power source.

With my limited testing so far, I'm able to raise the unmolested door+coil about ~4mm before it drops out. Hopefully, that won't be a scenario that would occur, but going off-axis may be an issue. All depends on if I think I'll have enough room to fit a magnet, since again, this is a portable solution.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Whoa, 4mm, that kinda sucks, last I looked into QI standard they were claiming 1.6" closer to 40mm. bummer :(

You could possibly compare the registered battery voltage at different levels, with no charge, baseline, then with it right on the charger, assume that is 70%, then right before it drops out. From that you can estimate the efficiency at the devices minimum registered level.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hippieschuh:
70% efficiency is like 5 years ago, we are currently at 93%+
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Theoretical efficiency is completely different that the efficiency in real world applications.

In real applications it can go up a bit from 70%
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemlocke:
My Lumia 920 can still charge at a pretty good distance from the charging stand, probably in that 1.5" range, maybe a bit more. I would need to measure it out.

Could someone explain to me how the qi charger works? Does the pad/charger need to be plugged in or is it completely wireless? Because what's the point of it if you have to plug in the charger instead of the phone? I'm not hating, just genuinely curious.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Yes, it must be plugged in.

It works via induction, a property of electromagnetic fields. When current is passed through a loop of conductive material it causes a dynamic magnetic field, when another loop of conductive material is brought into the magnetic field a current is induced in that second loop. In this way the energy is transferred from one loop to an adjacent loop with no actual contact, no wires.

The advantages are convenience and decreased wear on usb ports.
