[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillMaury:
That was hilarious. I'm just wondering whether the notes at the bottom of the screen are from Google or baked in to rascarlo's rasbeanjelly 4.2 ROM? If they're from Google those guys have quite a sense of humor. Seven clicks and "You're a developer now!". Who knew it was that easy? Also it's a good feature. Tapping something a few times isn't much to ask, it took me less than a minute from noticing the lack to looking it up to unlocking the options and it could save some people who don't know what they're doing. I'm getting a Nexus 7 for my 9-year-old stepson and, considering his total lack of interest in how computers work as opposed to how you play games on them, he probably shouldn't be able to access developer options. If only to save me the trouble of pushing a factory image to it and explaining to him that he lost all his saves and apps.:)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisbmeyer:
You can do the same tap tap tapping on Android Version

You can do the same tap method ( three times) on Android Version under settings, about tablet and it will overlay a red jellybean with your 4.2 or 4.2.1 operating system underneath. If you swipe that screen in any direction roughly three times it will cover your screen in jelly beans. At this point you can flick them of the screen. Seems to me it's a screen saver but amusing anyway! Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere.

I actually upped your Thanks! This is the single funniest post of 2012 for me, and couldn't be on a better day! You see, while your post whines about 7 taps on a screen, which was meant to keep people who "think" they "know" what they are doing from screwing up their devices, we have a few people around the world scared to death that their lives are over because of age old prophecies. In the grand scheme of things, I think your little rant is so laughable because it is the epitome (<<<== can you even pronouce that word, kar10s?) of "first-world" problems. The fact you say you have a company, and customers, damn near made me spew my coffee. Your post is so riddled with errors, I'm actually ashamed to say I read the whole thing. Please post any further rants you feel neccessary, as you really need to up your post count, as a "developer". :p

running ubuntu 12.04 on PC, rooting my nexus4

Regardless of what I try to do with this script, I'm getting device not found... but there's nothing I can find specifically about getting the nexus4 to "show" when I connect it to my PC. I'm using the factory issued USB cable. I'm aware of the MTP/linux issues, but I was under the impression that this wasn't needed for rooting the nexus4 (certainly, discussion of this point hasn't appeared anywhere in this thread). Help? I have followed the instructions given so far -- tapping the "build" 7 times (really? who comes up with this kind of stuff?) for developer mode, etc.

??

Thanks,

Hi,

This is clearly explained in the official documentation for 4.2 on the Android website.

http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html

It's a perfectly acceptable way to do this, that hides it for the normal user. A check box would be wrong, as hidden it is far better. I read the docs and it brought a smile to my face when I unlocked the option. No big deal. +1 to Google,

You must be great fun at parties! :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikhailM1:
At least Andriod is an openish system enabling a lot of developers to work on their respective improved roms and apps. Which is not quite the case with the alternative systems. The reason for hiding Developer options is to prevent the inexperienced messing up their devices. The ones who flash and play around with settings very easily find out how to access Developer options.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenniBenassi:
This is so dumb, having to do this... Google is getting ridiculous.

...but thanks for posting this guide!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Quite the contrary. The vast majority of users have no business accessing those settings and cause unnecessary problems by doing so. From both support and security standpoints, it makes perfect sense to hide them from those who have no need for developer options. Remember that we are a community of developers and enthusiasts here, and not a representative sample of the overall user base.

As with anything, the lowest common denominator needs to be accounted for. In this case, it's the ones who say, "Gee, I wonder what this does?" and then piss and moan about poor performance/battery life, or the ones who would enable adb over wifi without contemplating the risks that must, unfortunately, be protected from themselves. In a perfect world, they'd be left to deal with the consequences of their own ineptitude. However, the world is far from perfect, which is why D-cell batteries are packaged with a "do not swallow" warning.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
..."unethical" how? Google made a change to keep people unwilling to do simple searches and lacking experience from accessing some system-critical functionality that doesn't fit in people's day to day use-case. They did so by putting it behind a seven tap guard that requires no interaction with Google the company. Someone's a mite sensitive.

No they just have less units available at launch

[Nexus 4 General] DR-Dizzy:
Can't say but I doubt it. I'm pretty sure that Google just had WAAAYYYYYY less stock than the iPhone 5! Just a marketing stunt imo
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
3 of my friends and 2 cousins who have been up since last night sitting infront of their computer, couldn't get theirs. I'm sure there are many more like that out there right now. After Nexus 7, imo Google should have been prepared, maybe should have gone with a solo US launch first and cover the rest of the world after 2 weeks or so. Works for Samsung every single time.
[Nexus 4 General] stinky73:
Being in France I think I'd have to say why don't they cover the "rest of the world" first and leave America to last?.... :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] efan3719:
hopefully this was just to test the waters to make sure there is a demand before they make more since they are selling these at a loss. hopefully they restore stock before the holidays.
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
lol, nothing against any other country, just be easier on everyone to not have a bad experience this way. But I must say, this is by far the most popular Nexus Cellphone, LG and Google got this one for sure. I'm happy thou, because it will only get better from here.
[Nexus 4 General] flx-grafix:
Yep, smells somewhat like a PR-stunt to me. No offense to Google, but such a big company (that makes its money througn market analytics and advertising), not prepared for this huge demand after the success of the N7 and the low-pricing-policy? Hard to think of...

This is all speculation, but they could be after the exact headline of this thread coming to major newspapers tomorrow, certainly not a bad thing in terms of PR.

I personally think, that they made a low amount of devices available at the launch hoping for a sell-out like it has only happened with Apple products. Main stash of devices will be available soon, there has to be some over-stock before the holidays, they won't loose all the possible sales at this time of the year where customers tend to spend the most money on electronic devices.

But as I said, all speculations, no offense. I could be wrong ;)
[Nexus 4 General] lnfound:
Speculation but the only reasonable logic. Given how slow and how many errors there were, Google is not ready to sell iPhone numbers. I do not believe that much stock was emptied. In either case, hopefully they provide some numbers for us. If they don't, well then I think we can just assume the PR stunt.
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
Lets wait and watch, I would love to read about this launch and see what everyone is thinking about this. Can't call this a satisfying launch at all but a successful launch from Google's point of view I would say.

i guess they did it on reason, everytime apple releases iphone they make huge buzz around the world sold out sold out huge line outside of the store.. AS GOOGLE CANT HAVE HUGE LINE OUTSIDA STORE THEY TRICKED US WITH LESS STOCK AND MAKING SOLD OUT BUZZ. SHUT UP GOOGLE U MORON U LEFT LOADS OF UNHAPPY LOYAL SLEEPLESS CUSTOMERS WHO WERE EAGERLY WAITING ON THE DEVICE.

i doubt they had 500 devices for uk market
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
lol, they effectively did, started in Australia and worked westward to the US.
[Nexus 4 General] Tomatoes8:
I find it believable, since they are not pulling off the same sold out stunt with the Nexus 10. It is probably due to the price. All they have to get out there is superior to the GS3 and for $349 unlocked with no contract and whoever that needs a new phone would be crazy not to buy it.

That said, there are not enough geeks to sustain these numbers like the iphone 5 can sustain the numbers. However, 2 million or more geeks all ordering at 9am pst is definitely plausible. But once that 2 million gets theirs then we will see how much staying power the Nexus 4 generates.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
This is without a doubt a marketing technique. Watch all the tech articles tomorrow "Google sells out Nexus 4 in .03 microseconds!"

And you'll get ignorant posters with comments like "OMGWTFBBQ Apple took 2 days to sell out! I love Google tehe LMAO OMFG"

even if Google only had 3 phones to sell, and Apple had 3 million :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] gimiento:
marketing stunt

Exactly, totally a marketing stunt. They want the headlines that the Nexus 4 sold out, that its a hot commodity. That will create more interest, higher demand, and magically in a few days a whole butt-load of units will show up in the play store. It'll be interesting to see if they actually release number of units sold today.
[Nexus 4 General] rumthin:
They sold out because they only had like 10 devices available in each region, except the US, where they had like 15 units available...

Well matey as a UK citizen I think they should have made US wait 2 weeks... so yeah, take that! :rolleyes:

Also, you are mistaken about the Samsung thing. Samsung actually launch their phones in Korea and the UK first, usually around a month before they launch them in the US so that's a moot point!
[Nexus 4 General] mi7chy:
Doubt it's a stunt because the servers were so overloaded from all the people hammering on them to get a stab at buying. I felt the server overload adding a backup credit card to Google Wallet in the US when orders went live in the UK.
[Nexus 4 General] haloimplant:
They will never release them, they never did for the Nexus 7, and given these fiascos it makes sense from their end.

They are going to brag about selling out instantly, the truth that it likely wasn't even 1% of iphone launch sales would make their hoopla look as lame as it is.
[Nexus 4 General] -iNSiGhT-:
I just read in a Google+ thread that all Google Play is based on only ONE server... And whatever how much big it could be, it can't support today's traffic...

All Google Play on ONE server... If it's true, it's a big joke...

Google still have a lot to learn before wanting to act like Apple... And it's really sad they're acting like Apple...With only 100.000 N4...instead of millions of iPhone...
