[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digixmax:
I am trying to parse the above for the intended operation model:

the system itself would detect and automatically mount a drive/device and any app can then access it (i.e., the way most OSs would behave)? or,

any app that needs a drive/device would initiate the mount in order to access/use it?

sucess on file browser

i tried to mount usb drive under terminal and it works for file browsers (tested on es file browser and file expert browser) and titanium backup

i can copy files to internal storage and those files could be opened normally.

however,if i want to open them on the otg device

these app(not file browsers) tell me "Wrong path" or anything like that.

i use command " busybox mount /dev/block/sda1 /sdcard/usbotg " under terminal emulator

Try mounting to /dates/media/0/usbotg
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmdearras:
I tried that. no go. Mounts fine, and the terminal session can see the files, but root manager cannot. very strange.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thrillrseekr:
init.rc

Did anyone try mounting by adding a line, with for example: mount /dev/block/sda1 /?/usbotg, to init.rc?

If this works, limitation would be that the usb drive would have to be present at boot but reading over the man pages for mount perhaps this would be compatible with per-process mounting scheme that's been implemented in 4.2 as launched processes should inherit the mount table from the launching process which I'm guessing is started as a child of the process init.rc runs in after init.rc is called.

Hi

Does anyone know of any on sellers who are shipping the Nexus 4 internationally?

I know of

Negri Electronics

Handtec

Any others?

There is obviously also Ebay- but the price mark up there is even more insane than some of the retail on sellers!!

Thanks

Anyone else having problems running CF3D on Jellybean?

Because when I install the driver the S3 just won't boot and had to reinstall with Odin where it worked fine on ICS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Here is the story:

-Chainfire3D was made for GingerBread

-then come ICS

-Chainfire3D still almost fully works (except a few things) on ICS because there was only small changes between GB and ICS for this type of thing

-then come JB

-JB brings a lot more new things

Short story: once and for all, Chainfire3D will never works on JB until chainfire decide to update it (which will probably never happen)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] frapipda:
Hi all,

Recently bought a Note 2.

Far better than the old Defy, even overclocked, CMised, MUIUsed etc.

Big phone.

Don't want to get it out of my pocket at each call.

Don' want to answer with a standard BT earset, withour knowing who's calling.

So I needed an earset that knows and display caller names.

There is a protocol for that : PBAP (Phone Book Access Protocol).

You will find very little earset with both display AND PBAP (and actually, very few with any of these two)

The Nokia BH-902 is one.

And it can show caller names. YEAH !

Big phone, big earset. Bulky (compared to my old samsung one), but even without the ugly earloop, it's ok, stays in place if you are going steadily.

It's an old model from about 2006.

Bug known so far :

- first call was OK (not answered), then it freezes at second call, and after reset, freezes when getting last call logs.

Found eventually that the earset is not compatible with apostrophas ('). point : my own name is "d'Illiers" :(

I discard apostrophas from my frequent caller, and it's OK now.

- In case of freeze, reset is only available when charging (don't ask) => not easy when on the move

I could not find any clear information on nokia bh-902 before.

BTW, I confirmed that according to its doc, Prada LG HBM-510 can display phone number, but not caller names.

I was unable to find any recent earset with the same functionnality, although I think it would be definitly a good thing with these bigger and bigger phone. Just imagine that you could have a Nexus 7 to play with + such a small earset just to answer calls...

Hope that will help.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cyper.bg:
I am almost certain that there is an option for the phone to speak in your ear who's calling. I think you can even record the names yourself.

Isn't that good for you?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] frapipda:
@cyber.bg

I won't keep the earset always on my ear, even when no call in progress.

When the phone is ringing, I don't want the name of the caller to be spoken loudly by my phone to everybody around
[Nexus 4 General] Bombhills:
Hi there!:) I thought we needed one of these threads to get a clear image of how the phone performs IRL.

We'll all heard rather varying reports from the reviews, some good other disastrous...:eek:

1. Please post your impressions of the battery here.

2. Please be specific about how you've used it during the day.

3. Screenshots of the battery settings are most welcome.

4. Show image of screen-on time as well as the list of apps (thanks to Shadehh)

5. Brightness, is it auto? custom? If custom, %? (thanks to Shadehh)

5. 3g / WiFi on? If yes for how long? (thanks to Shadehh)

7. Haptic feedback? (thanks to Shadehh)

.... whatever else comes to mind.

TIP: best would be to simply download 'GSAM Battery Monitor' from the app store and make a screenshot and post the results (it's the most simple and fastest way ) - Shadehh

[Nexus 4 General] doubleojon:
From the first screen shot, Android System sucked the most battery. That's simply not right, screen should always be the biggest culprit; its because of this that I believe that the dev community will be able to significantly increase the battery life. Bugless Beast, anyone? Don't lose hope yet.
[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:
Yeah battery life isn't a beast like I would want. And I don't even have my other gmail and email account syncing like I did on my other phone :/

Just thought I'd add in an initial impression. After coming off a full charge last night, listening to an hours music this morning over bluetooth, checking facebook and emails i'm down to 92% from 1h 30mins on battery. Big culprits so far are play music and media server. Will take a couple of screenshots at lunchtime and see how things are then

[Nexus 4 General] dwang:
Turned off Google now and I'm getting much better standby idle drain.

Still seeing the kernel wake lock with the msm_hsic_host. If Google can fix that with a new kernel then battery life should improve significantly.
[Nexus 4 General] ugotproblemz:
did anyone do the initial charge of 6+ hours? or is that a myth?
[Nexus 4 General] mgorman:

I've also noticed that today. Maps application consumed 11% of my battery and I am pretty sure that I haven't used them at all.
[Nexus 4 General] tifosi256:
I love the phone, but the battery is abysmal for me. Same config and usage as my old GNex, but probably 30-40% less life. And that is after me switching push email from Exchange off (see my other thread in the Q&A forum). Exchange Services were killing the battery. Now it seems to be the screen. The back (top) gets warm pretty easily with the screen on. Disappointing!

I really thought the battery would outlast my old GNex.

Reading this thread cost my battery more than 10% life! I'm not that slow at reading!

Any chance it might be Google Now using Maps to get your location?
[Nexus 4 General] mgorman:
It could be. I think it might be the location service that is integrated in google maps. it's not horrible as I'm getting pretty decent battery life and can't really complain. Fixing the drain would just add a little more life

OK someone tell me what I am doing wrong!

Screen time only 2 hours, which was light browsing and writing some messages. Why is android OS using so much during idle?

This is my first android phone and I must admit I don't know my way around the os too well. GPS was off, auto brightness, wifi on and I am using Google Now. does using a live wallpaper make a huge difference, even if the screen is off?

How can I check all the sync permissions of all my apps?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] whooda:
I disabled NFC and all unessential apps that might connect to the internet other than gmail and google voice. It went down 5% while I slept and now Im trying to run it down to cycle the battery. Im at over 4 hours screen on streaming a movie from my NAS. Its at 45% battery right now.

Perhaps Im just lucky?

What is your signal like at home? If you have poor signal it will be constantly look for signal and that will kill the battery quickly. My GS2 would die in under 2 hours if there was poor signal.
[Nexus 4 General] astalavista_thes:
I can't really believe these screenshots. I track this topic and I haven't seen anyone with such bad stats. Especially for 2 hours of screen on. I suggest you to monitor the battery performance for the next days, have some full charging cycles and inform us regurarely about it. It may need some time for your battery to fully work (I don't personally believe that).
[Nexus 4 General] timskyline86:
so far so good when the screen is off. Wish it could drain a little less, but much better than day one. (Even though it says Edge, its just happen to switch over to that at the time of the screenshot. Reception isn't the best inside my building.)
[Nexus 4 General] draiken78:
I know the battery may be an issue for some folks, but those are dreamy battery time compared to my bolt. I can't even get 9 or 10 total hours on a charge even if I don't use the phone at all during the day. Normal usage (not heavy usage) generally lasts 7-8 hours on this thing.

Yes sir, the Nexus 4 looks to have a glorious battery compared to this thing.

heres a pretty stupid question, so i charge overnight, my battery will finish charging half way through the night, and then do chill, will the battery get topped up everytime it starts to deplete, or will it just stop charging till i unplug it and replug it again?

am using matrix kernel with stock rom, automatic brightness, although when i use that and read an ebook the brightness is increased to maximum so reading an ebook at the moment for me is the drain, but I do get around 4 hours or so, but this isn't heavy usage for me since am not back at University yet.

You know u can take pics if your screen from your N4 directly.

battery findings

hi all,

had my nexus 4 for a few days now and love it - but - the battery is poor. I had an iphone 4 before and would always go a day without issues.

1. Please post your impressions of the battery here.

Very poor, have to be careful to make it last all day.

2. Please be specific about how you've used it during the day.

phone sits unused an on silent for 90% of the day. about 15 minutes of calls, and probably a total of 40 minutes checking twitter/facebook. maybe 30 total emails.

3. Screenshots of the battery settings are most welcome.

two screenshots attached

4. Show image of screen-on time as well as the list of apps (thanks to Shadehh)
