I'm not trolling just getting tired of sprints crapy speeds.

This evening I have made a conclusion: at 2 in the morning I have decent speeds. they're around 1.5 mb. I used to get this all the time. Anyways it seems that there are not many people using the network at 2 am. If I get dial up speeds during the day due to congestion won't I still have the same congestion issuer on this 4G lte, that I am probably not going to see for years anyways?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
I once hated sprint I had speeds of 0.3 mbps speeds. Wait it out lte is a blessing it's fast and unlimited. My friend got verizon and scared to use his phone for fear of going over his data limit lol . I almost went back to T-Mobile but lte came on and I get it everywhere in town and the surrounding cities. I use to average 2gigs a month before lte, now

I use about 30 gigs lol lte make you use your phone alot I download roms, movies from frostwire and tether to play xboxlive and it only take 5minutes to download a 1 gig movie sometimes quicker. WAIT YOU WON'T BE SORRY.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cazman420:
Its jerks like that tether for xbox live that make it lag so crappy in multiplayer. Cant you just get internet where you live?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lancerz:
If your city is getting 4G LTE soon then it will definitely get better. In Atlanta I get 4G everywhere I go so I rarely see the 3g icon pop up on my phone. And yes it is fast!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Network Vision isn't just about LTE. It's an entire overhaul of the whole network. That includes switching from overloaded T1 lines to either fiber or microwave-based back haul (depending on the tower's location). The new back haul will be much better at handling the data load, so overcrowded towers shouldn't be an issue anymore.

I can change font easily on Samsung devices, without root. Can I do so on Nexus 7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytung2020:
Hmm...no one??
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytung2020:
anyone???
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynrozturk:
No, you can only change the font size.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Samsung added "FlipFont" to the Android framework that allows you to change the font via a simple setting.

On "normal" Androids you have to replace the actual font files, and yes you can only do that with root access.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Why do most roms OP state to "fix permissions" directly after flashing the rom, when that does nothing... it fixes them in .3 seconds? lol.... pretty sure it's best to do it after setting the phone up the way you want. Where it takes a couple minutes and actually gives you a log of what is fixed. Just curious if I'm wrong in thinking all this jazz.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mackster248:
I had no idea either. But this cleared it up for me.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vopezy:
Probably just because it can't hurt to do one, that and if an issue arises they can be certain that it was done.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ive wondered it myself. Never do it though. To me its there for when you run into problems with FCs and such. I assume its the devs trying to be proactive for those who dirty flash.

Ive seen it screw things up to btw.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I know what Fixing Permissions does, just why they tell their users to fix them before anything can be broken, is where my curiosity begins, if I remember right even after a dirty flash they don't wont be fixed til after a reboot...

my way of doing things

wipe data/system/cache

flash rom

boot up>let sit for 5 minutes>install through TB or recover data

boot into recovery and fix permissions, which takes a couple minutes, if I have errors.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
Congratulations, no one cares.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
True story, I'm a terrible person.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cobraboy85:
only fix permissions if you have issues of force closes or log cats are showing files as unreadable... basically if you are having issues of some sort.

also, good idea to fix permissions from terminal while booted into android if you are using a recovery that has not been updated in a long time
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Oh, I know how to run and use fix permissions. I'm just curious as to why some rom cooks give instructions that are useless.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
That's a valid question.

I think it's an instruction for crack flashers.

It levels everything out.

Especially, if you are trying to keep your data
[Shift General] Baicche:
Greetings, I recently upgraded my Shift running on Windows 7 to 2GB RAM and a Kingspec 128GB SSD drive. This, with the addition of a Mugen Power 6600mAh extended battery, still makes the Shift a tough little old road warrior.

After the upgrade (I choose the Acronis solution) everything works all right except the Marvell WiFi card. I often receive an error 10 message when activating it through control center.In addition, the card seems to activate better when the Shift is hooked to the mains. I tried all the drivers I found, to no avail. I start thinking I have a hardware problem.

Any thoughts of wisdom?

Many thanks in advance

*Update - identified

I discovered that the behavior is strictly linked to having or not an SD card inserted. No card and WiFi works all right. I can live with that - no need of further help, thank you.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kRt_uK:
I returned to stock 4.2 JOP40C but it seems the 3G connection isn't working anymore.

No more 3G network option (More...) under Wireless & Networks section in the settings.

Could it be happening because the 3G ROM is different from the general JOP40C or it is because I've unlocked the device?

If the ROM is different, could someone upload that 3G stock ROM?

UPDATE

Thanks guys for the help.

Just to clarify for those haveing the same problem: the factory image for 3G model is "nakasig" instead "nakasi" (wi-fi model).

Hi

I have the same 32Gb 3G version.

Rooted yesterday, removed some useless apps in /System/App

Everything is still fine for me, i still have HSDPA connexion

I can help you if you know what is missing on your Nexus7, i'll upload it

The 3G version has probablic a specific rom, due to the cellular settings (not present in WiFi only version)

If you are rooted, can you check if you have Phone.apk & Phone.odex in your rom ?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g.moggel:
problem after root

With root I lost the hspa feature too. I rooted after full flashing the stock Rom for the 3g variant via adb. Without root everything was fine but after rooting with nexus toolbox or with nexus 7 toolkit I lost hspa and it said no sim card.

I then tried to manually flash the Radio but then I got stuck in a Cwm bootloop.

Had to go back to stock sans root. Bootloader is unlocked though.

How did you root yours?

Then adb flashed recovery

Via recovery, flashed SuperSU

That's all, no 3G lost

argh

1. did it as you said, was unlocked already - tilapia, 4.13, baseband 1231_0.10.0_1021

2. flashed latest twrp via adb

3. flashed supersu 0.98 via twrp.

-> n7 no simcard

Thanks for your reasoned response. I'm sure people will try to help you if you keep the tone more conciliatory. Could you be more specific about what has ruined your experience with the update? I honestly don't see that much different, other than having to wait a few days for devs to update borked apps. Stickmount is my biggest concern, and some of the video players. They'll get updated though.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turdbogls:
All this talk about apps not working is not on the new OS....well it kinda is but not really.

android releases the OS and DEVS have to update their apps to work with the new OS. they do this with the android SDK (i think) IMO, google SHOULD release the SDK for the new OS about a month out. giving Devs the option to update their apps before the OS hits getting rid of all "these" types of posts.

also, FWIW, i did a clean install of 4.2 and i haven't had a singe app crash on me except MX player (which was updated yesterday for 4.2) other than that, everything is smooth, fast, working wonderfully. i know its not what you want to hear, but maybe a clean wipe of the device would be best. Google wont put out a crappy update....but sometimes, for some reasons unknown, it doesn't take well to and update with all the user apps and their data. at the very lease, clear cache and see how it works.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmasterx:
Completely agree. They new update 4.2 corrected a lot of bugs. The power management is a lot better and the memory management too. Ive run some test and saw that the system load is quite inferior to what it was before due to a more clean management process

Look how easy this was when a decent person helps, thanks for the help! All rooted and flashed back! Thanks to all who actually helped!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
First I wanna ask anyone who says the 4.2 update is terrible if they even tried a full data wipe/factory reset? If not, try that before accusing Google of releasing buggy firmware. It could be your stinkin data/apps fault :p

Most to all the people were decent. Plenty of people pointed you in the right direction, or linked to a guide. You gotta do a little researching and educate yourself a little so you understand the whole process.

Nope, it's not illegal to root.. it will supposedly be illegal to unlock a phone (for another network) without the network's consent though.

Just think..there's no reason at all running custom firmware/roms/rooting can be illegal on a nexus device, why do you think the bootloader is effortlessly unlockable?

And if you think about it, no, it's not really crazy that is a "hassle" to revert to old firmware, because

A) most devices (Apple comes to mind) you can't do this, unless certain conditions apply (if you backed up SHSH blobs, etc etc)

B) if you understood the process of flashing the stock rom, and if you had ADB/fastboot setup correctly, it's simple as pie to flash the old firmware. And the "homemade software" is just an interface for n00bs (like yourself) and would not exist if it didn't use adb and fastboot behind the hood. And if you think it was hard to do what you did, you should try to do it on a device with a locked bootloader: (droid x2 comes to mind) it's a nightmare

So basically, Google has this wonderful OS and provides devs and users alike these wonderful tools (and Nexus hardware to match) at our disposable.

Idk about you, but I say kudos Google!

How do I use this toolkit friend? Sorry, I'm a noobie. My Nexus 7 popped up with the 4.2 update. It was an official update, so I figured it would work well. Man was I wrong, it ruined my tablet
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
This applies to stock phones. I mean factory stock and you actually took the OTA update over the air.

Anyone having a problem with an app should try wiping data and cache for that app. (Settings - Apps ) Also uninstalling and reinstalling an App might straighten things out. If try this for any misbehaving apps before moving to below.

If things are really foobarred a factory reset (Settings - Backup & Reset) might be needed. This is going to remove all apps and data so make sure you are backed up. There is an option to backup to the Google servers in the same place you do the reset the tablet. While you could restore apps from a back-up I would reinstall from the play store. This way the apps will install into the new file system. But this way you don't have to try to remember what apps you have installed.

An easy way to do this is to use App List Backup from the Play Store. Running this stores a list of your apps on your SD card. Clicking on the app name links you to the play store for that app.

Please if you are a truly stock user and you have never done anything like the above and don't understand any of the above search the internet or ask questions on XDA. On any Google searches make sure any information is for 4.2 to avoid problem.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warrior1975:

Quality control should be expected

When official updates are released, then I believe the user has the right to expect that it is ok to update. I do not expect experiencing crashes even in stock applications such as Chrome.

I do not expect that many applications stop working all together.

If Google wants to compete with Apple, then they cannot release such utter crap. The Nexus 4 and 10 will crash and burn because of this unless the problems are N7-specific.

Apple would never release anything as bad as this.
