root toolkits are fine, if you already know what you are doing. the problem with root toolkits arises when a person that has no idea what they are doing uses them and messes something up, which happens often, just read all the threads that users start asking for help, that include the words "i used a root toolkit". you dont see any these thread with the words i used fastboot or adb. usually what happens is something simple gets messed up, then the situation becomes worse because the user didnt know/learn the basics, and messed something up after. this is the problem with root toolkits, they go around you having to learn the basics. then we get all these threads about "help, i bricked my device". just taking the little time needed to learn the basics prevent this from happening.

this is a nexus device, its meant to be able to root the device easily. this is the basic procedure.. fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flash a custom recovery, flash the su binaries or custom rom in your custom recovery, reboot. that is it. it takes me 3 minutes to do this. add on a little reading beforehand, and maybe itll take you 30 minutes. much better than getting lost after using the root toolkit, or even messing up your device messing with stuff that you shouldnt. and, occasionally, the root toolkit itself can mess things up.

btw, op, you can always install an official "ota" manually, without receiving it ota, and without having root too. also, if you flash a rooted stock rom(unmodified, only root), youll still receive otas
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mauro2390:
You can unlock and root without install a custom recovery. IF you don't install any custom recovery and leave the stock one you'll continue to receive the ota updates.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaizer:
Hey all,

Sorry if this was asked before (I did look around) but will it be possible to use the upcoming 32GB Nexus 7 HSPA+ as a phone? I know the phone.apk won't be there but with some custom rom can it be possible?

I was considering this as an option over getting a nexus 4.

Thanks in advance,

Get a Google Voice account and use Groove IP app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxable:
I have same question as OP, and this is not a solution! I want to use the Nexus7 AS MY PHONE! With a voice/data SIM/plan. Since I use T-Mobile PREPAID, it is not possible to even forward my mobile voice #. So, basically, need a phone.apk or equivalent. Why wouldn't they do this? The phone has all the radios & supports all the bands for cellular communication. So, why can't I use it as my phone!?!?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmonger11b:
Actually it is a solution my N7 IS my phone with the paid version of groove IP I can make and receive calls on the tablet. Get a Google voice account and port your number to it then buy the app from the play store and presto you have a 7in phone that works perfectly fine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] relaxable:
It is NOT a solution. Maybe it's a solution for YOU.

I DO have a Google Voice number. I do NOT want to port my mobile # to Google.

I TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY. I want to be able to pop a local SIM card in from countries around the world with a prepaid voice/data plan, and use the Nexus 7 for PHONE & Internet access. This CAN NOT BE DONE with Google Voice.

Furthermore, Google Voice is not entirely reliable. There are times I use it to place a call, and it calls a completely different number! If you are in an area where there is a cell signal, but no data (= some rural areas / very weak signal), Google Voice does not work, because a data connection is required to send the data about the call to Google. And with this "quasi-solution", if there is no data connection, there is no phone at all as all the calls are converted to Internet data/VOIP.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmonger11b:
Then don't buy the damn thing and stop crying about it Jesus ****
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Tone down the all caps. Google is responsible for the absence of phone abilities on this tablet, not the forum members or devs here. If you need it to make phone calls through the SIM, get something else. Maybe a Padfone.

Also - T-Mobile blocks the Nexus 7 from working with SIM cards registered on voice plans. So don't say you weren't warned.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuumuun:
phone support is not built in by google/asus but there are already efforts underway to unlock this functionality.

just take a look at the threads in the 3G development section ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buginsoup:
relaxable's question was very much straightforward but the answers given dmonger11b was not. Yes, Or No. Finished! relaxable didn't ask How to make calls ... The question was it is a phone or not - by default.

I think senior members should be knowledgeable enough to answer.

And to add to that - you can't get a Google Voice number unless you live in the US. So that leaves out the many users who don't live in the US.

For most of usa users there is only usa in their world maps...

I agree that the answers given aren't conclusive and wasn't what OP asked as far as I understood.

Some answers like "there's a way to do that" , "I've sent u the answer in MP" and "then buy a phone instead a tablet" aren't helpful either.... it was preferable not to anwer at all.

Hello all,

I have been reading on here for days now and trying to figure out the easiest way to root my phone.All i want is root no custom roms or anything right now.I found a couple different methods but then they say it wont work with ics then some say there phones wont boot up and all these different things.

So i thought i would post this question here to get a perfect answer for my direct question.

I have a telus note that is updated to ICS and i would like the most simplest EASIEST root.

Could someone please post and let me know what way to go and a link or info detailed on how to do it so i dont mess things up.

I have always been use to rooting with one click lol so this is basically new to me.

Thanks in advance!

Well thank you very much sir. I had that page already booked marked from awhile ago and thought it sounded good but wanted to see if there was a better way or easier way.

I ended up trying to do it last night after i saw your post and it went actually pretty smooth.Didn't think it would be so easy lol.

I do have a couple more questions now.

if i ever want to return phone back to stock how would i do that?

I want to remove the junk stuff that came with the phone with titanium is there a list for a telus note that can be safetly removed?

I read to do a phone backup incase i remove something and phone crashes. What program would i use to make a complete back up?

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] prettedda:
If you followed the steps in the link you should have CWM recovery. Boot into recovery - power plus volume held at same time then release power when you feel vibrate or download quickboot or download rom manager - then do backup. If you ever have a problem you can go back to the point if your last backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] manitobasaab:
Ok i did the volume plus power and then selected backup.Is there a way to save the backup to the external sd card?

Also do i just download the rom manager from the market place?

I noticed that sometimes when I use the power button to turn off my screen, after 1-2secs later, the screen turns back on again automatically on its own. Happened quite a few times Already. Anyone with the same experience?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarionCast:
Haven't seen it happen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
Not seen this personally but there were some occasions when I picked up the phone and the screen was on. I'd assume I'd accidentally pressed the power button when picking it up.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fried.egg:
Didbyou enable some options in S-Motion? Some of those options will turn screen on.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrufokid:
My galaxy s2 would do that all the time just come and go off ... Blahhhhhhhhhh
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
It happens mostly after a new app installation. The app is usually a spam and hence it keeps on turning the screen. Try to figure it own by removing apps one by one ever since the problem started.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielfr:
Yes I think this could happen when "Quick Glance " is enabled. A few days ago, I was cleaning with a cloth the screen of my Note 2 and the screen went on (I haven't pressed accidentally the power button of my phone)

Daniel
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kEvinErd:
No no its not quick glance.. It's almost like my power buttonmay be too ssensitive. And the screen typically turns on just 1-2secs after I turn off the screen manually. Doesn't happen frequently but still about once a day?

Have you installed any app like Pocket Sensor?

I use this amazing app, which can behave like this sometime when anything overshadows the proximity sensor.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akalias1981:
I had exactly the same issue and maybe it's coincidence but the issue went away after I disabled Quick Glance. Been over a week now and this used to happen at least once a day.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binke:
I have EXACTLY..this problem.. it happens a few times a week to me.. Quite annoying sometimes.

I've been suspecting that its because of a application, namely, Kakao-talk, which is a IM application. I can't really recall my screen turning on suddenly when using any other app, but I will wait and see if it happens outside of Kakaotalk.

If the problem persists, i might hand it in to service...

its quite annoying sometimes. I have heard of other people having the same problem though...

Great Rom. I love having ROM control and PA on the same ROM.

If anybody is having trouble getting PA back on the ROM, install the PA ROM from dhk/besttt and then make a Titanium backup of paranoid preferences. Restore it once you have PAC installed. Worked for me.
