[Sony Tablet S] defsix:
Ok, so tried re-installing busybox, tun.ko, OpenVPN settings and OpenVPN installer however still it's not working. I am thinking the problem is deeper than this though. The built in VPN options L2TP/IPSec and PPTP are both failing to work. I just get a time out error. I have uploaded a section of the catlog if someone could have a look at it.
[Sony Tablet S] defsix:
I am still stuck with this problem. I used AIO tool to setup boot loop protection and then re installed the full R5 on top of the old installation. I didn't do a factory reset though, I don't have the time to re install everything.

And still the problem persists.

I am unable to create any VPN

Anyone any ideas ?
[Sony Tablet S] defsix:
ok. Factory Reset.

Factory Reset, reinstalled R5. Titanium Backup restore and still no VPN. I give up.
[Sony Tablet S] walsera:
Sorry to hear that... for more information about the initiation process of your VPN, you could try to start the openvpn binary in a terminal as root with an increased verbosity level... just to see at which step the process actually fails
[Sony Tablet S] defsix:
would that give me more or the same as a logcat ?

Could you give me a quick idea how to do this in terminal ?
[Sony Tablet S] walsera:
Well, I am not an expert, but your logfile was just little use for me...

Steps for running openvpn in terminal:

Open terminal

Type 'su' to get root

Change to the directory with your profiles using 'cd PROFILEDIR'

Type 'openvpn' for getting all command line options

To start a connection type something like 'openvpn --config PROFILE.ovpn --verb 3 '

I couldn't test this with my connection because I haven't figured out how to pass my key for my certificate. But I think this is the way to go.
[Sony Tablet S] defsix:
ok, will give this a try.

hi

I saw this image on engadget and was shocked.

They have mentioned in their review that the battery is absolutely terrible.

Another issue is that battery case cant be removed easily.

How big of a problem is. I want the phone's battery to last atleast 24 hours.

That image says very little. For all we know screen on could be 5hrs which would be astounding with that hardware.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Capt.PP:
Engadget didn't update the software before they did the review on Nexus 4 that was why they got only 5 hours and lacks. This have been found in one of their pictures.

Yes, that is so true.

So I was trying to root my phone, but after trying to root my phone using clockworkmod but after the installation every reboot it was starting with the clockworkmod. So after some research i found some exitrecovery.zip that i could run with the clockworkmod.zip so it could fix the boot. But now my phone won't turn on.

I noticed that when i plug it to the usb of my computer the computer detects it, but the phone is not working.

Does anybody knows if there is a way to fix this?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uoY_redruM:
Hold the power button down for about 30 seconds. It sounds to me that the phone is actually on right now, but something is wrong with the ROM itself (since the computer is detecting it then it has to be on).

Unplug it from any power source and just hold the power button down. After about 30 seconds, just to be safe, hold POWER+VOL-UP+HOME button to boot to recovery.

It's likely you're just stuck in limo right now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sarni84:
What the hell is exitrecovery??? I never seen that in the t999 development section. U have to be careful. Anyways try to flash the stock firmware via Odin. To get into Odin power off phone. Hold power down home and volume down u will feel it vibrate then with the volume rocker press up . The stock firmware I can get u....it will already be prerooted

Here this is the newest ICS update from T-Mobile uvalj4 already rooted just flash in Odin. Once Odin is up and u have your phone in download mode connect USB from computer u should see in Odin "added" that mean your good hit PDA next and search for the file I gave u .....MAKE sure to unzip this file first then start the process. Unzip after u download. .thank Mr Robinson for this package

What does the computer detect it as? Idk what exit recovery zip you are talking about. Can you boot into download mode?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Agree with these guys. Though I thought it should be stated clearly that you should not ever flash anything you don't find in the TMOBILE T999 Forums! Too many have bricked their phones by flashing things we've never heard of over here!

What is this exitrecovery thing anyway? Link?

If you want you can find instructions on how to use Odin either in my firmware thread here:

How much does CID exactly matter on updates?

I'm on HTC One S S4 HTC_017.

The device should receive updates like an unbranded device would.

Not really sure what it has to do with much, but I must have a rare device or something because I have yet to receive the 4.0.4 update. :/

Answer any of them, you don't have to know all of them.

Can anyone help me with these following questions,

1) Does anyone have this CID?

2) Is there a reason why I'm not receiving the update? (Don't tell me to check the about>software updates>check now, i do that all the time and i've already tried *#*#checkin#*#*)

3) Will I even receive Jelly Bean when it comes out? (I

NEED

Google Now, and there's no way I'm rooting my device.)

I have the carrier i wireless.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAYZE:
I recently bought a galaxy tab 7.7 and i noticed something about it's physical keys.

The power and volume buttons requires a considerable pressure to push..it is working normally but sometimes bothers me.

I don't want to immediately send it for repair so i want to confirm if you have the same issue too..

The keys on galaxy tab 7 plus of my friend responds normally with slight push

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce16878:
I had the same problem too, maybe it's a fitting /contact issue during assembly. My vol down/minus is ultra unresponsive and that is a big problem when I attempt to go to the download mode but the tablet simply doesn't register it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAYZE:
thank you for the reply..i thought i am the only one having this issue

how about your volume up/power buttons? do they register at minimum pressure or do you have to push harder?

i was wondering if all tab 7.7 have difficult to press buttons.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce16878:
The power and vol + seem fine and responsive when pressed(doesn't really need apply alot of force), the same kind of responsiveness I would expect to get from my xperia arc s.

[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
Its name is true HD.

Well, you need a bigger screen and adults but many people like to see timely updates, and beautiful AOSP. Everyone has his choices. I'm moving from Note 2 to Nexus 4...

No device development here :( and we will probably get 4.2 next year or so.then key lime pie will come D:
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
Well,its a matter of perspective...

Just my opinion, nexus 4's snapdragon is much faster than exynos 4. .just saying
[Galaxy Note II General] Scythe024:
seems a little disappointing from the reviews. Was expecting the bechmarks to match that of the optimus g since its built really similar to it and share similar internals. Still a great phone for the price, but wont touch the note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] mobilebuddha:
hmm.. where are the benchmarks that say it doesn't match the optimus g? was actually thinking of buying this for someone as a xmas gift..
[Galaxy Note II General] Nutsonfire:
I have a Galaxy Nexus and I will check 4.2 on it. Not missing original Android at all.

Smaller screen with huge on-screen buttons making it even smaller...

Many homemade roms and kernels that dont bring a lot besides gadgetry and bugs.

No Sd card, no replaceable battery, unproven build quality.

The longer the list the better the Note 2 is looking.

I guess yeah if you are into going from one buggy rom or kernel to another one every two days maybe you need a Nexus 4 for that.

Good homemade roms/kernels can be counted on the fingers of one hand for each phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
Engadget claims that the battery of the Nexus 4 is half the battery of the optimus g and phone arena already stated that the note 2 has double the battery of the optimus g. So the answer is no, I don't want to downgrade from 8h of screen on time to just 2 or 3 hours. ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] phoenix2241987:
www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/

checkout the performance and battery details..no where as good as our beast!
[Galaxy Note II General] Jamal Ahmed:
To all those people sagging about the performance and battery life issues, the reviewers had test units with totally beta software. in the review of the verge the device is even seen to have a software update available which hasn't been activated.

So:that's not an issue. the hardware is quad core snapdragon and 2GB ram, same as on lg optimus g,which is a beast in performance and battery life, and that's on ice cream sandwich!

Until then, take these reviews with a cup of salt
[Galaxy Note II General] nikzDHD:

[Galaxy Note II General] naimmkassim:
Thats would question the existing of this thread also?? There should not be comparison right??
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
No way of course. Smaller screen, and especially LCD! These two are enough to ignore it. And I don't give a damn to development. But yes, the hardware is definitely eye catching and better than ours. Still, I won't play Crysis on it.
[Galaxy Note II General] Irwell:
Luckily for us the Note 2 also beat the Optimus G in most of those tests. The two tests where the Optimus G came out on top were Quadrant (where the scores were limited because we hit the vsync cap) and Egypt offscreen (which doesn't fully support our GPU). The Optimus G and Nexus 4 are lower spec phones.
[Galaxy Note II General] ericshmerick:
I'm getting a Nexus 4 for portable (weekend walking around, running, skiiing, etc) use. Will use my Note 2 during the week (business purposes). Best of both worlds! Sold my GNEX to finance the Nexus 4, so it's a wash.
[Galaxy Note II General] Olaeli:
I still have my Galaxy S2.

Every time I pick it up I can't understand how I could live with such a small screen.

Even if the Nexus 4 has a little bigger screen, it still has a non-removable battery and no SD-card.

But if I hadn't gotten the Note 2 it would be tempting, it's really priceworthy.

[Galaxy Note II General] nikzDHD:
The N4 real screen estate will be smaller due to the onscreen buttons. But mods will surely come out. I agree I've got the SGN2 for testing and using smaller phones seem odd now even though I've got small hands!
[Galaxy Note II General] testulous:
Going from Note2 to LG is a downgrade. Superlative build quality, the best screen available, microSD, and a gigantic battery OR you could get JB 4.2 a bit earlier on a smaller screen, LG quality, and a glass iPhone-like back. No thanks.

Seriously, who thinks up these things? Glass back on a phone? Doubling the fragile surfaces with no benefit is f***ing retarded. I'll probably buy one anyway, it can replace my original Note.
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
I bought a Galaxy Nexus for the "quick updates" and then was completely disappointed in knowing that "quick updates" in Canada means waiting months, so I would flash roms anyway.

With the note 2, I get updates just as fast as the Nexus because the xda community makes it happen.

Other than that, the note 2 offers much more than the Nexus 4, like a removable battery, sd card, larger screen, s pen, and features like smart stay and best face photo mode. Everything the Nexus 4 has we will get in the future or can already get through apk files (like the new camera and gallery app).

The Nexus 4 would be a step down from the note 2 IMO.
[Galaxy Note II General] MohJee:
Glass back , No sd card support, unremovable battery ... deal breakers for me and (I predict) will be for many people.

After buying the phone with a 5.5 inch screen I couldn't go back to a smaller screen. Also the lack of removable storage and battery is a definite turnoff for me!
[Galaxy Note II General] E_Goldstein:
Why the hell would you downgrade
[Galaxy Note II General] deaffob:
No, the reason why I bought Note 2 is because of its stock abilities such as multi-screen and Spen. I already have Gnex and N7. In fact, I don't think I'll even use Paranoid or CM with Note 2. Using these custom roms would render Note 2 just a oversized phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] RojasTKD:
For me it's easy, Note II.

The Nexus 4 has it strong pointsand the price is right, but I want:

1. 5.5" Display

2. S Pen

3. Multi window mutlitasking (eventually)

4. User replaceable Battery

5. MicroSD card slot

6. LTE

Don't want:

1. Built in battery

2. No LTE

3. No MicroSD card slot (Sadly, may be the future of Nexus devices)

4.Glass back (looks good, but just asking for trouble)

I own a note 2 and recently bought this optimus g. I have to say I'm pretty impressed. Very good build quality, sharp screen, and fast and fluid. I'm not saying I'm giving up the note 2 but if the nexus 4 is like this optimus g ill be for sure picking one up. At 349 its a winner for me
[Galaxy Note II General] Lucidmike:
After having owned the Galaxy Note 2 for 4 weeks now, I don't think I'll be buying a regular smartphone without a stylus. I'll probably stick with the Galaxy Note line, until they introduce an innovative way where you get all the stylus functionality without one.

The Note II is the only phone that has innovations. All other phones are just trying to make something we have just a little better. more pixels on the camera, more pixels on the screen, more processing power, more ram...are these innovations? Apple says yes by showing you benchmarks because you can't tell otherwise, Samsung says no and shows you what real progression forward is.
[Galaxy Note II General] b1nb1n2012:
I would say No. I'll probably give up Note 2 if there will be Note 3 , Note 4, Note 5,...etc N4 is pretty nice and cheap but it's not something that can make me WOW. I don't mind paying a high amount of money for a product that is worth spending for.
[Galaxy Note II General] UCLAKoolman:
I can get the note 2 on contract for $300, and since I'm happy with my current wireless plan I have no desire to pay $50 more for the unlocked 16GB nexus 4. The Nexus 4 has a washed out screen, no LTE, non-swapable battery, no microSD (I already have a class 10 64GB card - $43 on Amazon last week), no physical home button, and reduced battery life. Benchmarks have been less than impressive too.

If I really want a new device at this time next year and am not eligible for a subsidized upgrade, ill consider a nexus.

This is what I've been saying about Apple. iOS has so, SO far to go but instead of improving it, Apple goes "Here you go, the same boring, limited features...just twice as fast on a sharper screen." I got tired of it. Jailbreak developers would make hundreds of awesome tweaks, then a year later, Apple would give you just six of those tweaks, stick an "i" in front and call it a new version of iOS.

[Galaxy Note II General] _delice_doluca_:
Our non-Nexus Note 2 will be 1 or 2 months behind when it comes to updates but either CyanogenMod or Samsung will always make sure it is worth waiting by adding small touches to Nexus' ROMs. For example; DSP manager is a big improvement over a Nexus ROM. Or the S Note app or the screen mode choice. They are very useful extras.

Besides one way or another we will eventually get our updates but Nexus won't grow a SPen nor a SD card slot will pop up..

I love Nexus devices, i surely do. But once i had my Note 2 there is no going back.

Edit: typo
[Galaxy Note II General] gee2012:
There are many European providers and retailers that probably will not sell the LG Nexus 4 because of the price. The 16GB N4 costs 271 euro in the Play store because it is probably subsidized by Google, but outside Play LG wants about 550 euro`s for this device. The N4 is not worth this amount of money imo, for the same money you have a Note2 or HTC One X Plus :silly:
[Galaxy Note II General] kempas:
To all those that will switch to a Nexus 4 - why did you get a Note 2 in the first place? Why do you want to switch so soon just because another new device is available?

I chose the Note 2 for it's large, great quality screen. I wanted the option of a replaceable battery - whether I ever change it or not. I wanted a memory card slot. I like the option of the pen although may not use it much. The cpu and ram size give me great performance.

The only phone I can see tempting me to change will be the Note 3...
[Galaxy Note II General] MarionCast:
No reason to switch to Nexus 4. The Note 2 is. for the most part, a better device.

*Display. 5.5" isn't exactly usability heaven, but it's absolutely worth it when it comes to browsing the web, watching videos, and even reading documents. Can't see myself going back to LCD blacks. AMOLED blacks are pure :D

*Battery. This thing doesn't die on me. Ever. The battery life is so good, it makes me want to switch off the battery percentage indicator on the status bar because, frankly, it's not necessary. I keep looking at it and I just can't believe it's still at >30% when I'm already on my way home from work. I don't think any other smartphone (apart from the Droid RAZR MAXX and phones with third-party high capacity batteries) has this amazing feature.

*Storage. I've had my 16GB Note 2 for less than a month, and now I'm already down to around 3.5GB of available storage. And that's with a 8GB microSD card already installed (for my music and videos). I will be upgrading to a 64GB microSD soon and will transfer all my multimedia (photos, videos, music, etc.) files there, so that only apps will fill my phone memory. I can't imagine living on 16GB alone. (Why is there an 8GB option in the first place?! Oh yeah, to drive down price to that attractive $299 price level, unlocked.)

*While I am not exactly in love with TouchWiz, stock Android isn't heaven either. Come on, they don't even include a file manager there. Yeah yeah one can easily download a file manager app, but still, it makes for a better experience when one is included out of the box.

Really, the only advantage of the Nexus 4 over the Note 2 is the CPU/GPU performance and, unless you want to develop apps that take full advantage of those top-level specs, you really don't need to switch from the Nexus 4 to the Note 2. The Note 2 is such an enjoyable device and I can't see myself going back to phones with displays below 5".
[Galaxy Note II General] kasus:
I am just wondering wether there is anything you can do with the Nexus 7 that you definitely wouldn't want to do with the Note 2. For example I can't think of the 5.5" screen being big enough for a satisfying ubuntu experience but I guess that's the same with a 7"er.

Any ideas?
