[HTC EVO 3D] dfeldt91:
I'm running Paranoid Android 2.52 and it is amazing. Great ROM and best of all its Jellybean. The only thing I've found wrong with this ROM is the 3d doesn't work. But 3d on phones is lame anyhow. Kinda a gimmick more than anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] thebeastglasser:
Android Revolution or MeanROM. I wouldn't recommend any others as ultra stable and fully working, as I'll assume if he's anything like my brother, it's going to have to be perfect... Otherwise he'll never let you near one of his devices again.

If he's on Virgin Mobile, go with Harmonia.

I do not recommend flashing any kernel other than stock either, unless you are positively 200% sure it will never break down. Stock kernel as I have seen is the most bug free (although definitely NOT the smoothest, not by a long shot).

Make sure you tell him what you're doing if you decide to flash a custom kernel, and do NOT under any circumstances over clock. If he accidently touches something and ends up at 1.8gHz and performance governor, (while he may come to you to try and fix it) he may also end up obliterating the hardware on his phone.

I only know from past experiences.

So to end on a final note.

Enhanced stock is really the only way to go to ensure ultimate stability. And unless he is going to flash ROMs himself, that's my opinion.

Hey guys,

I'm thinking in install the Camera APP and Gallery from Jellybean 4.2. Today I've found a zip file that contains it. How can I flash a zip file on stock recovery?

Thank u.

First and foremost, I do not own this device, I would like a few beta testers to test my kernel that I built for TF700t. Requirerments are as follows.

1. You are able to OC to 1.8ghz with motley's kernel and stable

2. Able to post a dmesg in pastebin

This kernel will have 1.8ghz and 650 GPU.

Thanks. Once this works, it will be released. PM me, Thanks.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_boo:
Just wondering if this has 3.0 or 2.0 USB? All the spec sheets just say it has it but not which one
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarnow94:
The A15 SOC is capable of USB 3.0; whether or on it is actually put to use, I have no idea. If it isn't, hopefully a developer can find a way to make it work.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge929:
In theory it should be USB 3.0 since the Exynos 5250 supports it, however it may be a moot point if the CPU and flash memory can't handle 3.0 speeds.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] case-sensitive:
The new ARM based chromebook is also based on Exynos 5520 with 2g of ram etc and is also made by Samsung, so we can expect (??) this chromebook would have similar performance with the N4 (the chromebook does have lower resolution, which does not affect the speed of usb ports). According to Anandtech.com's review of the chromebook

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6422/samsung-chromebook-xe303-review-testing-arms-cortex-a15/2

"The USB 3.0 port is a bit useless on the new Chromebook. I dusted off my trusty Zalman SLC NAND USB 3.0 drive, capable of delivering more than 80MB/s and copied a 2.8GB file to the internal NAND. I timed the process and came away with an average transfer rate of around 12.7MB/s - well within the realm of USB 2.0 performance. Given the Exynos 5 Dual SoC features an integrated USB 3.0 controller, it's possible Samsung just wanted to take advantage of the feature and perhaps test its implementation. It's a nice checkbox feature but it does nothing for the end user as far as I can tell."

See also anand's comments about the hdmi out.

Disclaimer: Chrome OS of course is different from Android and these are two hardwares, so the two could have very performance... But until the devices are actually released I hope that anand's review could be of some use...

I successfully used tether on viper 2.0.2 using a win 8 platform with no issues. For me, it worked fine when I tested connectivity.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alesyl:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
There are a few things that need to be varified your best bet is to look here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=244

This has info for troubleshooting varios OS, version and hardware issues. Start there, and you can always post there for support if necessary.

I am also assuming you are using the built in wifi tether but depends on version ROM you are running, tweaks and mods etc. The version you have may not be compatible and there are many options here:

Hey guys, what´s up?

Listen, I´ve got a problem with this Haipai x710d.

When i call someone or get called by someone the person who talks with me hears a very disturbing humming noise which gets louder and quieter every now and then just until the person gets off the phone. I have already tried different places to call, different phones and different providers but it´s no use.

Then in hope to change this I´ve tried to flash a new ROM on the phone but I´ve chosen the wrong ROM. That means I´ve chosen the wrong scatter file in the flashtool and the result is that the phone is bricked now.

I hope you can help me. Thanks already.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roshand1:
After updating the windows phone by an force update, Can we get the normal updates for phone in future without forcing..???
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
What method of "Forced updating" did you use? Cab sender or the update through Zune and disconnect from the router trick.

What build are you currently on?

You shouldn't have any problems updating the device through Zune normally, but there's always that chance and of course if the carrier releases the update is another issue. That's why many people used the forced update methods to begin with and why it worked. When Zune checks for the update it also checks to see if your devices carrier is pushing out the update. That's where the disconnecting from the router comes into play and has to be timed just right, Zune checks for updates and then for the carriers release and you have to disconnect from the server before it checks for the carriers release. Really your just tricking the Zune software into letting you update the device.

So I guess at worst if an update is available and it doesn't update through Zune, you can always force update the device again.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roshand1:
I did the force update twice through zune...I have Tango 7.10.8773 on my HTC HD7 ,still i dint get 8779 update so worried is it because of force update or 8779 update is really not available...
[Nexus 7 General] stephewc:
Just as a heads up, there might be a way for some 16 GB owners to get their $50 dollars refunded to reflect the new price. I bought my 16 GB mid-September from Walmart and like many users was surprised to find that Google would drop the price by $50 dollars only a few weeks later. My N7 was purchased on a credit card (Chase Freedom) that apparently offers a 60 day price protection for up to $250 per claim. I wasn't sure that my credit card offered this until I gave them a call so it would not hurt to check the benefits that your credit card provides.

The claim process isn't too lengthy. Just need to fill out a form that they emailed me, provide a copy of the receipt as well as a copy of Walmart's website reflecting the new price. Kind of like a rebate I guess. Hopefully this can help some others out. :D
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Yeah, I was peeved that I didn't grab my chase freedom. I went with Amex instead. They have a buyers remorse program but I'd still keep this device anyways if they gave me $50 back.
[Nexus 7 General] CJHolderUK:
You cheap bastards. Seriously?
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
Yes. Money is tight for me right now and $50 is enough that I want it back. It has nothing to do with being cheap.
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
What dya reckon the chances of getting a price match from Argos?

I purchased it in store, still have the reciept and everything.

Google told me to try it?
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
Not such nice language.. But 50.00 could buy a new blouse. or fill my gas tank (well almost)To go shopping

Price protection is there for just this reason. SERIOUSLY !!!!! Go get some
[Nexus 7 General] stephewc:
I am simply pointing out one of the perks that some credit cards offer their cardholders. Since I bought the N7 for $250 not long ago and now that the current price is $199, why not get the difference refunded? Only reason I do not have Walmart doing the price match is simply because I am beyond their 15 day return policy. Luckily there are credit cards out there that extend this price protection for you as part of their benefits.

I love the N7 and was content with the 16GB. I have no hard feelings towards Google for driving down the price since it is a competitive market. If there is a way for others to potentially benefit from the perks that their credit cards offer then it never hurts to share that information to those that are unaware.

In the big picture, I don't think $50 dollars is going to worry a big bank anyways. But if it allows someone to get another tank of gas or some groceries for the week, then I simply ask, why not?
[Nexus 7 General] Aleemz:
I'm not sure I understand this comment. Why on earth would you not request a refund of $50 if you are eligible?

And...who's the one asking for donations from forum members?? :D
[Nexus 7 General] stephewc:
I am not certain of the story policies in place for Argos. It never hurts to call the store you got it from and ask if they have a price match guarantee or some kind of similar program. I believe there are some US retail chains that allow you to price match even after purchasing for up to a certain time frame (usually 30 days). Best Buy is an example that I believe has this program but I'm not 100% certain as I haven't shopped there in forever.

If the store don't work out, why not give your credit card (assuming you bought it with a credit card) a call to see if they offer a similar benefit? As I mentioned earlier, I did not know that my credit card offered it until I called to see if they are able to match the new price.
[Nexus 7 General] birch25:
I bought a 16GB model last Wednesday from Office Max. They have a 14 day return policy for electronics so I brought mine in yesterday and simply exchanged it for a new 32GB Nexus 7. No fuss, no muss.
[Nexus 7 General] CJHolderUK:
Lol, that wasn't quite my point, and I should have elaborated. My point being you got $25 free credit so should only expect $25 back and when buying things you should expect the price to drop. We got a Samsung smart TV a couple months ago for £2500 and its now £2000. We can't just walk into the store and ask for the £500 we lost. Its just how things work.

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

Lol, I don't just filled everything in. :P
[Nexus 7 General] Aleemz:
If the store you bought the TV from (or credit card company) had a policy of refunding the difference if there is a price drop, and you were within that time period, suley you would have requested the £500 back?

Same principle here, they guy is just highlighting a policy that some people may not be aware of ;)
[Nexus 7 General] Element515:
It's not being cheap... it's managing your money. The reason you can do this is because the price dropped so quickly from release. If you can do it, go for it. $25 play store credit isn't the same as actual money. Sure, I could have $25 of apps.. but I haven't spent anything near that on the play store yet. But gas? oh yes...
[Nexus 7 General] CJHolderUK:
I don't consider 5 months "so quickly" and if they bought it in the last month they should have known the 32gb was coming, the rumours where everywhere.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
So, since the 8GB model was discontinued, I should be able to get a full refund right? lol :p

But in all seriousness, I take it this might not apply to the 8GB model, since there's no actual price on it now? Maybe even less of a chance of it being possible if you bought it from Play Store?
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
I wasn't an early adopter. I didn't have mine since release. I had mine just about 30 days out from the release of the 32. Most stores are now smart and place it on 14 day return policy. If I had mine since release, I would of been in the similar position with your TV and wouldn't care. The money is gone, bye. My bill for the N7 is actually due November 4th, so I still haven't paid it with my own money yet, it stings a little more in those shoes.

Anyways, it's an offer the credit card provides. I looked at Discover and they do the same. It's their "purchase protection" to win over customers. It's there, no extra cost. Why not? I would use it in a heartbeat if I had the option. This has nothing to do with being cheap. Being cheap would be buying an $80 budget tablet from some no name brand hoping it will function just like the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] CJHolderUK:
Okay get your point but surely you saw the 32gb rumours. I'm in the same boat as everyone else you know.
[Nexus 7 General] alkemist80:
I saw the rumors but didn't start to really swirl until after the end of my 14 day return policy. It was the KFHD that got me into this mess, got one from amazon, didn't like it even after root but it wet my appetite to get a new toy :eek:

But in the end, it is what it is.
[Nexus 7 General] Element515:
five months is very quickly. Consider that not everyone preordered the nexus 7. And the fact that supply was limited until around august. Plus certain countries didn't even have the device for a while after the US release. Five months is short. Really, Google was just stupid to think 8GB would be enough as a starting point. A 7in tablet that's portable without 3G is supposed to stream things from the cloud? Wat....
[Nexus 7 General] phillip1953:
How about three weeks? I'm a week past the Walmart 15 day 'return' policy. Had I known the 32 gig was coming out so fast (I was thinking maybe Christmas) I would have waited. Ya...I'm a little pissed...but I'm happy with the 16 gig version.

[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
Rumors are just that, rumors. I remember when it was "rumored" that Samsung was going to update the Galaxy Tab (original) to either ICS or Jellybean. Then said rumor changed to being only a certain Canadian carrier providing the update. Then that rumor turned out to be a mis-type. Guess the rumor just died after that...

There was a value pack though, but it was only for Koreans at the time, and it only brought over "some" ICS features to Gingerbread.

[Nexus 7 General] boufa:
It should be pointed out that many of these offers and adjustments are based on the price of the ITEM and may or may not include tax. Since the 16gb nexus was $249.. it will likely not qualify. Sure they took your application easily, but until you get confirmation that it is approved and that the money has been credited to your account, I wouldn't hold my breath.

There are lots of legal issues with refunding sales tax in many states, when you still own the item. It will most likely be viewed like a rebate or a coupon, both of which do not effect the total sales tax amount. Therefor again, a $249 item would not qualify for a price adjustment if it is based on $250 or more.

I'm not saying don't try. I'm not a hater questioning why, I'm just pointing out what the OP said and what the reality likely will be.

Personally, I bought a 16gb last week at staples, and rolled the dice that the price would come down. As soon as the president get out of my town on Saturday morning, and the roads re-open, I will head down to staples and either a) get my $50 back or b) upgrade to the 32gb version.

EDIT... I some quick research. First several of the programs that I saw did exlude tax from the calculations, as I said, however, unlike what I though the OP said, the difference refunded cannot be over $250, it was not based on the initial price of the item. So my point may or may not be valid...
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Even with the 32gb rumors, no one really saw the price drop until late in the game. It's whatever though. They should offer early adopters another play credit though to ease the sting a little.
[Nexus 7 General] SwiftLegend:
Dunno if it will work, but my dad bought my mom the Kindle Fire on sale and the next day they announced the Fire HD. She took it back to Bestbuy in the 90 day period, and they let her exchange it for the HD and she only had to pay a difference of like $10. Now my mom did have (sort of) a problem with it, that they didn't even check for, but I'm sure it'd work with the N7 too.
[Nexus 7 General] stephewc:
You are correct in that they do not provide a refund for the tax. I specifically asked the customer service representative if I should be putting the N7 with tax price on the form or simply the $249. They talked to their supervisor and said that I can only claim the difference in advertised price. My credit card price protection policy will refund up to $250 per incident. Since I am only claiming $50 dollars, it falls well within their limits.

For those who bought their Nexus 7 from the Play Store, here is what their payment protection says:

If we reduce the price of a device on Google Play, we'll refund the difference in price if your purchase occurred within 15 days of said price reduction.

To be eligible, requests for a price protection refund must be submitted within 15 days of the price reduction occurring.

Nexus 7 (16GB version only) purchases from Devices on Google Play are currently eligible for Price Protection if the purchase was made on or after October 14, 2012. If your purchase is eligible, we'll refund the difference in price within 14 days of your request.
