Ive always wondered about mhl, am I mistaken in thinking both the phone and TV need to support it? So if I plug into a non mhl TV nothing will happen correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] todah09:
Naw, long as the tv gas hdmi it should work...tje thing is that some of the adapt.s have to have the power cord pluged into it....

I currently have Verizon but plan on dropping them once I get the Nexus 4. How do I use this phone on AT&T if I've never had service with them? Is that even possible to do or is prepaid my only option?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neer2005:
Walk into an att store. Pick either a post paid or prepaid rate plan. Purchase an att microsim. Walk out.

Do you know if I can use my employee discount too?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew_grant:
If you have an employee discount (FAN Discount), you HAVE to be placed into a contract.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locsplitter:
not to derail your thread, but I'm curious, if you walk into the ATT store and have an account with them, will they give you a micro SD card for the nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
I called and they said yes. Free of charge... I'm still just gonna cut One tho. Already printed the template.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] code65536:
Wait, you're an AT&T employee using Verizon?

If it weren't for the whole employee thing, I'd say T-Mobile is a much better option.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
Sorry if this has been mentioned in another thread somewhere, it's 5:23am here and I'm about to crash; how much is it off contract and is it going to be sim locked..?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaronInkjet:
Better answer than AT&T is to get Straight Talk -- same towers, same service only cheaper. $45/mo unlimited. Unless you get a big corporate discount...

Tmo internet speeds are better if you're in a place where it has good service, but often that is not the case. Actually, you can choose between Tmo and AT&T service on Straight Talk.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontdo_that:
Not to derail or anything, but can anyone running the N4 on AT&T give some feedback on HSPA+ speeds?

I'm really trying to decide what to do... considering jumping ship from AT&T to Tmobile, but their reception is apparently crap according to my friends and parents who were on T-mobile and are now all on AT&T. But AT&T is so expensive, and will throttle my grandfathered "unlimited" data plan after 5GB anyways and the N4 doesn't even have LTE and we have to pay 300/350 for it off contract...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATGAdmin:
+1 on that. I'm using Straight Talk Sim program on my AHD right now, and won't even consider any other available options.

It's by far the best option available right now! ;)

straight talk doesn't allow streaming of any kind or tethering. I don't stream anything so doesn't bother me.

Thank you for the feedback... that's alarming considering its CHICAGO, one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the country... maybe it's all your tall buildings? :D

The Nexus 4 is such an uneconomical choice for USA AT&T.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P00t:
will a 3g(HSPA) sim card work for the Nexus 4?

I have the Inspire 4g(not really 4g).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InvalidUsername:
Nope, it's the same in Lincoln Park, Lake view, and Hyde Park which are all low-midrise. Downtown reception is actually not any worse; it's just as poor. I'm not sure how other carriers' reception is in Chicago, but I can assure you that it is not tall buildings. I've visited Toronto a few times, and used a temporary sim from Fido. It worked great. Reception was really good (except in the subways, but that's to be expected).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontdo_that:
When I went into my local store and spoke with a sales associate, they told me all I had to do was switch my 3G sim card for a micro sim and everything would work fine with any phone regardless of speed. For example, there was no special LTE package or LTE compatible plan I needed if I had wanted an LTE phone.

You might need to get your 3G sim card converted to a HSPA+ compatible micro SIM.... but I can't verify that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razorblood:
False. I get excellent coverage. Good speeds as well. Just tested at 9mbps down 1.6 up.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vitamin_D:
Straight talk doesn't allow streaming and I've read plenty of stories about them throttling and cutting service. The ATT discount comes out to about 65 dollars and I would get 3GB. I just don't want a contract, that's why I'm getting this phone.

I flashed the latest Paranoid Android to my E4GT which I'm very pleased with; However, my 3G connection comes in and out. I would like to view the CDMA settings to track down any problems using CDMA Workshop or QPST as I did to originally flash the phone to Cricket Wireless but none of the usual dialer codes work?

Any help would be appreciated.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] tucstwo:
Lots of people are having problems with the Android 4.2 update. They lose root or they can't get back into recovery. So BEFORE you flash 4.2 or if you already did and are having issues. Download this utility I whipped up. It will flash (or reflash) the 4.2 update (Including system, kernel and bootloader). It'll flash the latest 4.2 compatible ClockworkMod Touch Recovery. And then it'll get you all set up to re-root your N7 within the latest CWM. Instructions are included in the README file. PLEASE READ IT!

You DO NOT need to be on a stock rom to run this and it will NOT erase your data. But it is recommended when you get into CWM recovery for obvious reasons.

If anyone is having any issues and you get caught at the Google splash screen. You can use Power, Vol - to hard shut down the tablet, then Power, Vol +, Vol - to get into the bootloader. From here you can install the factory images from google. Once you're back up and running, you can run this tool to gain root and CWM back.

Updated 11/14/2012: Replaced SuperSu.apk with the latest version designed for 4.2

Updated 11/14/2012 14:41EST: This package will now contain 3 different runme files. One of them will not erase your data, one will erase your cache only and the last one will erase your data and cache. It seems people coming from some roms are having bootloops or hangs because of a lack of data wipe. You can attempt to run the one with no data wipe, but if you run into trouble, try one of the others. Some have made it through with only a cache wipe. See what works for you.

Updated 11/14/2012 16:53EST: Removed full data erase option as I forgot it will erase your SD card and therefor erase the root zip before it gets a chance to flash. There is only 1 runme file now and it will erase your cache, but leave your data alone. If you're having problems, or you want to avoid problems. Erase your data in CWM before you flash the supersu zip included in the package.

For Now - Windows ONLY, Sorry.

Linux version, on the way

Anyway:

Download and PLEASE READ the Read Me!

[Nexus 7 Android Development] trusteelfan:
Ok, I tried this and got stuck on the boot screen. Guess Ill try it again. I was on AOKP before.Can I just run this from there? I should I have wiped before?

edit

Ok it worked once I wiped it when it booted in CWR.

Great job. Now just have to test if it is still rooted
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Solange82200:
Im not getting something. After I press runme.bat my Nexus goes to clockwork recovery, its not touch, I have to choose from options like Start, Recovery Mode, etc. It doesnt match the instructions. Im super confused, any help?

Ugh. now my device is stuck at the google start screen, and not going anywhere. Android is too complicated sometimes for dumb people like me...
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trusteelfan:
Its booting you in fastboot. just follow the instructions in the window that comes up when you run the runme.bat.

When it boots in fastboot just hit the space bar. It will take a couple times of hitting the spacebar before you reach the CWR stage where you flash the PlaceMeOnYourSDCardSuperSu.zip
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hasan10:
When I click runme, it opens up the cmd window, starts the daemon, and then just sits there with a blinking cursor. Tried this few times already, nothing is happening.

EDIT: My nexus 7 is connected and has usb debugging turned on.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trusteelfan:
Do you have ADB set up on you computer?

Did you make sure you have USB debugging selected on your nexus 7 in developer options?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hasan10:
Figured it out. My computer recognizes the Nexus 7 as a portable device, but not recognizing it in the usb debugging mode (shows "Nexus" under Other Devices with a yellow triangle). Tried to update the driver, but it failed.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Solange82200:
Thanks, it wasn't clear to me for some reason when I was doing it. It just kept saying after the black screen press continue, but something stopped along the way. I cant do it again because my device wont get past the Google startup screen, so I guess Im just going to flash from stock or something. Thank you for the quick help though, much appreciated!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trusteelfan:
You can run it again if it got stuck. I had to run it twice

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

The Nexus 7 toolkit will put the right drivers in place if you need them.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hasan10:
OK, I will try that.

By the way, I am currently on Android 4.1 with unlocked BL and CWM Recovery running Franco Kernel. Is this utility safe to use with this setup?

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

OK So I have finally got the drivers, and then ran the runme. It booted me into fastboot mode and now it says sending 'bootloader' <2096 KB>... and seems to be stuck on it. I havent touched anything on my nexus 7, didn't press any buttons yet.

Unplugged it and then plugged it back in. It failed to flash the bootloader and went straight to boot and system flashing. It has now booted into Android 4.2, but I am assuming it still got the older bootloader. I think I will have to re-run the whole process to ensure new bootloader gets flashed eh? Or is there a 4.2 bootloader floating around that I can just flash using CWM and save myself the trouble?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] trusteelfan:
It takes it a few minutes to run the process. You should have just waited
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Hasan10:
No I realized it didn't install the fastboot drivers before the process began. So it was actually not able to send the bootloader. Anyways, can you please read my edited post above and advise me with that to do?

EDIT: I went ahead and re-ran the process. Since all drivers were in place, the total process took less than 5 mins, arguably faster than an OTA. Still have all of my data and the goodness of 4.2.

Thanks a lot OP for this great utility.

Everything is good over here. Rooted with twrp instead tho. Anyway something weird is going on with my battery, and yo seem pretty knowledgeable so I thought I'd run it by ya and see if you couldn't shed some light on the issue. Anyway my battery stats are showing that the device isn't awake.. When clearly it is and in the stats it says the screen is even on.. But not awake. Also the screen seems to brighten and dim at odd times idk if that has anything to do with it. But I flashed an ota update.. Bootloader and all. Kept root with supersu. You think something might have been corrupt or something? Here's a screenshot of the issue.. Hmm another issue, whenever I try to take a screenshot.. With more than one app, it takes a pic of an earlier point when I was on twrp getting ready for the 4.2 update. Some really strange things are going on..

Very useful thanks :D I had been struggling to get root for the previous couple hours before this (I got the files in the right places but su wasn't working :/). After your batch filed flashed the images my tablet got stuck in a bootloop and I couldn't trigger the buttons to enter fastboot. Luckily adb still worked when it was booting so I adb reboot recovery and wiped caches, /data and the works. Worked fine after that.

[Nexus 7 Android Development] fullmetal2k:
I can't get the drivers to properly install on windows 8
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thehumble1:
worked perfectly. I read the directions, followed the steps and it did it's job. It did hang at boot because I didn't delete my data partition and cache. After I did this and installed supersu, it booted perfectly. You might want to add that to the instructions.

6a. If at the first boot the systems hangs at the nexus logo for more than 3 minutes, your cache partition may be incompatible with 4.2 and needs to be deleted. Press a key to allow the installer to reboot into CWM. In CWM delete your cache, and then continue at step 8.

13. If after this boot, your system still hangs at the nexus logo for more than 3 minutes, you may need to delete your data partition. Reboot into CWM to do this. Delete your data partition and reboot the system. I hope you remembered to back up before you installed.

Thanks for the great program.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] JimmyVD:
Custom Rom

1st. Worked just fine, and currenlty loving 4.2!

2nd. Coming from PA 2.5.4 after the first step and reboot, my N7 crashed at the lock screen but still connected via ADB.

Once I saw that it was connected via ADB I pressed space and continued (no first boot) still worked, just had to wipe cache etc.

Thanks for making this so easy!:highfive:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tucstwo:
Do you guys think it would be worth if for me to change the utility to force cache wipe? force cache/data wipe? or just leave it alone?

Edit: Had a better idea. There is now 3 runme files included in the zip file. 1 that saves data, 1 that erases data/cache and 1 that just erases cache. You people can try out which ever one they need to get it to work with no bootlooops or hanging.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] thehumble1:
I'd say definitely force cache wipe, since it isn't destructive and only makes the process take a bit longer.

I think people should either wipe data on their own or run into a wall and have to wipe it, which only applies to a few people coming from other ROMs AFAIK.

great work though!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ghisy:
Do I need to flash the stock kernel first before using this .zip file? Does the /system partition needs to be stock as well? Thanks :)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tucstwo:
It is version 6.0.1.5 which was designed when the bootloaders were updated from 3.34 to 3.41. Now we're on 4.13. Anyway. Certain devices (mine included would not boot into recovery after the 4.1.2 update so this version was written. The full version number is "recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.5.b8147-grouper" but yeah. That's which one it is. See this thread for a discussion on the bootloader/recovery issue.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tucstwo:
Yeah, I decided to upload a new version that included 3 different runme batches. 1 wipes nothing, 1 cache only, and 1 cache+data. So people can choose their weapon.

This tool will flash the newest 4.2 kernel, system, bootloader and the latest CWM touch recovery for you. If your're coming from a stock rom, you may want to run the included tool that performs a data/cache wipe for you. Some people have had trouble saving their data, other have been just fine. But this tool require nothing on your end. You can flash it from any booted up system/kernel combo.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Ghisy:
Everything worked fine!! Thanks for the tool, very handy :)

Quick question though: apparently, the official OTA update has been downloaded by my Nexus 7 and I have a notification saying to touch to update. How do I get rid of it? (tried swiping, didn't work)

edit: nevermind, it just disappeared. I noticed the stock Android browser is gone now. I need to find a way to install it again.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asdf-chan:
Just a quick question, you're using

fastboot -w

which wipes cache and data, BUT does this wipe our internal sdcard as well?

BTW, I'm "porting" this to bash (Linux), I was going to post it, but I saw you updated your scripts, gonna add it. Thank you!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] arwilson529:
Worked great, thanks!!!
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asdf-chan:
Well, this should work in Linux, you obviously need adb AND fastboot correctly installed, there're tons of tutorials out there about it.

I didn't test myself, but it's basically the same commands as OP wrote in his script for Windows, just with correct bash syntax, and use of CASE instead of 3 different scripts. If you have any problem feel free to report it.

http://dpaste.de/auFJI/ (updated, deleted case for wiping data, it erases your SD!)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] lightninbug:
Is it safe to do this method? Or safer to wait for ROM devs to explain? And is there any benefits to the new boot loader? Also I'm reading that custom recoverys are not properly formatting data/media properly.... I'm just a little worried if we cant revert back to any older roms
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tucstwo:
I appreciate a linux version and Im sure others will too. When you're finished with it, let me know. I will put it in the OP.

And to the best of my knowledge fastboot -w does erase the internal SD card, you're right. So I may take that one out as it'll most likely erase the recovery zip before anyone has the chance to flash it. I am going to reupload the zip without the full data wipe option.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] asdf-chan:
I see, maybe it's beetter to wipe "data" from recovery as it just erases your /data partition?

As for the Linux version, this is an updated version: http://dpaste.de/auFJI/. Like I already wrote: I didn't test it myself but it should work, I want to backup my SD and I don't have the time right now, :(
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tucstwo:
It's not any less safe than taking the official OTA. The only benifits to doing it this way is you'll be able to save your data and restore your root access. A lot of people lost their root access (myself included). So, its your choice. You are correct though, the recoverys are acting weird with restores and backups right now because Google changed the file system setup around for the new multi-user function. I'm certain there will be a work around for the recoveries in a few days. So you can hold off, or go ahead.
[Nexus 7 Android Development] tucstwo:
This is an option if you don't get any hanging or looping prior to getting into CWM to flash the root zip
[Nexus 7 Android Development] kpjimmy:
Thanks Tucstwo! Worked here for me as well. I was running the latest CM10 nightly and this couldn't be any easier. No data lost!:good:

Used the no wipe script and booted fine in MY case. Just a fyi.
