[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
Will we be required to sign for the Nexus 4 when it arrives or will they leave it on the porch? Unfortunately my UPS facility only allows will call between 4:30 and 6:30pm and I won't be home during the delivery window. Anyone know? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alklein:
MyUPS

You can sign up for a service with UPS (I think it's called MyUPS.com or something similar). Once you're signed up, you can override the signature requirement. I've used it and had no problems. I think you can also specify a delivery location ("back porch," etc.). Keep in mind that if you live somewhere packages left by delivery folks may be stolen, this is not a good idea. YMMV.

I had to sign for mine today so I'm going to say yes you probably will have too as well
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
Thanks for the info guys.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulletcutter:
I just signed up, but it says u have to pay for the feature...unless I'm reading it wrong
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heat361:
It all depends on the ups guy I didn't sign for my nexus 7
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he Messiah:
For what it's worth, I called Play Store support earlier and inquired if the Nexus 4 delivery is signature required, and the rep told me that it's not. Also, I just got off the phone with UPS support (as my delivery is in transit and fully tracking) and their rep confirmed for me that my delivery is not signature required. YMMV.

Edit for clarity: Package contains one Nexus 4 16GB model and nothing else.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alklein:
I didn't have to pay anything. Maybe the fee is for other services they offer?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tero2012:
Unfortunatelly I have to say that my Nexus 4 package has been left in front of my door and fortunatelly the package was there when I camme back from work.

So, no signature is required. This happened to my today.
[Nexus 7 General] windwarrior:
Hi every one,

So, I was in stock 4.1.2 ... changed my bootloader to 3.34 (4.1.1 version using a .img flash) to root my N7 and afterwards flashed bootloader 3.41 (4.1.2 version using a .zip flash)

So I got the Google 4.2 image. Proceeded to flash it using wugfresh toolkit as says this thread but started to have multiple "failed" lines... mainly "too many links" and "unknown error"... I’ve tried all the ways I could think of and I’ve found on the internet but none have worked.

What I have in hand:

wugfresh toolkit 1.5.5

nexus 7 toolkit 3.2.0

Google original 4.2 image (nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz)

bootloader-grouper-3.34.img

JZO54K_bootloader.zip (3.41 bootloader)

access to fastboot

I think that if I flash a proper 3.41 bootloader image (from an .img file) I might go thru the process successfully... any other help or suggestion I would really appreciate it.

Also, here is a resume of what I got when I try to flash 4.2 image:

I'm a newb. I'm about to attempt to wipe and redo my phone. What's the best order to flash the following:

Modem

Kernal

ROM

GAPPS

Tweaks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
This is what I do

1. One Click back to EL29

2. Get GPS lock

3. Flash EL29 directboot CWM with Mobile Odin

4. Factory reset, wipe C & DC

5. Flash Rom

6. Flash GAPPS

7. Reboot

8. reboot to Recovery

9 Wipe C & DC

10. Flash Tweaks, modems, 4.2 goodies, etc

11. Reboot

I have never had issues other than a bad rom DL using this method. More experienced users probably skip a step or more along the way, but this has never let me down. No triangles or Flash counts using this way either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Modem and kernel do not really matter you can change those and flash them any time.

If you are doing a TW ROM make sure you have a custom recovery (If you are stock this is when you would flash a kernel). Usually you would want to run a wipe all type zip or do a wipe in the recovery(If it is a safe recovery) Once you have that flash the ROM. If you are doing an AOSP ROM do the same first step but when you are in recovery flashing the ROM also flash the Gapps.

Once you have that done you can go nuts on whatever tweaks/modems/kernels you would like to mess with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xxsicknessxx:
Why can you use mobile odin for everything/? Like lets say me

About to do a update to my rom (no wipe)

So I can just Flash the Rom (wipe cache and dalvik in mobikle odin) restart

flash gapps mobile odin? right?

Or is this bad idea. I only use mobile odin to flash once before and it worked I lvoed how easy was... was a recovery though not a rom or eta update

Hello!

I'm new to android wirh my galaxy note 2, and now feeling more comportable than iOS.

Furthurmore I'm satisfied with lovely Spen features and multiwindow.

I'd like to try CM10 based rom, especially PA, but I've heard that I can not use my Spen features and multiwindow.

Is there any chance to use those through the update?

p.s I can't reply on the development post.. thats wht I'm aaking here...
[General Questions and Answers] Jonphinguyen7:
It will not. S-Note requires Touckwiz framework in order to work properly. Since CM10 and PA are AOSP based roms, any touchwiz specific apps will be broken when running those ROMS. I have heard that you can possibly get them to run, but with functionality so bare you are better off without it.

A good app to try is LectureNotes.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McDV:
Hi!

When you look at the Nexus 10 you will find that the launcher has a real landscape-mode. I'm missing this mode on our Nexus 7. I.e. on the Nexus 10 the dock is at the bottom, we are having it on the right side and we have no search-bar.

Is there already a way to get the Nexus 10 launcher-layout to our Nexus 7?

Regards,

McDV
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McDV:
It seems like no one else dislikes the landscape-mode of the Nexus 7. ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynrozturk:
I don't believe so, but you could play around with launchers and try to make one you like. Get creative with it.

I personally don't care for that sort of dock, so it doesn't bother me. And the setup I have with Nova Launcher really works for me.

Mathias said "nobody has a tablet this thin..."

It's 8.9 mm thick... wasn't the first Galaxy Tab 8.6 mm thin? Did I miss something?

(BTW: Not hating, just wondering. I'm still buying it... as soon as I can get a 32 gb!)

Also.. The Galaxy Note 10.1 is the same thickness (8.9mm) so technically someone else DOES make one as thin.

OOOHH! the Transformer Infinity is THINNER @ 8.5 mm. http://eee.asus.com/en/transformer-infinity/specification/

[Nexus 10 General] NexusReach:
Maybe we're all liers...
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
I could be wrong but I believe that he meant there is no other tablet with that screen, that processor, AND is that thin. So he meant nothing comes close to that package, which I agree, and he didn't mean just thickness alone.

I actually thought that was a great answer to the **** question by Apple fan boy josh. I believe he asked what makes the tablet stand out from the competition and Matias Duarte answered what DOESN'T make it stand out from the rest since there is nothing with an A15 and that screen which is that thin and light. Great ownage answer.

Of course the screen wins alone and the A15 also wins alone. It is just missing leading thickness or it would have been a clean 3 for 3 sweep, which is honestly pretty damn impressive for $399.
[Nexus 10 General] Nucking Futs!:
I beat you...I owned a Transformer Infinity for less than 2-weeks then sold it on eBay, LOL! I knew I was going to get more on there than the 15% restocking fee I would've been charged had I returned it. I completely agree, it had way too many bugs! I'd get random restarts in the middle of doing just basic web browsing in addition to the continuous annoying popup window asking if I'd like to wait or close the current app since it's taking longer than usual than usual or something like that (& this was even after the most recent firmware update). I'm hoping the edges are smoother too since the Infinity's edges were kinda sharp so it'd dig into my palms while holding it..end of rant, haha!

I'm not too concerned with the thickness since it's pretty thin. Not like it's the thickness of an HP Touchpad or anything. Try holding that for 30+ mins at a time because it gets annoying quickly.
[Nexus 10 General] Samzebian:
I hated the issues with the TF700, I ended up buying one, returning it, buying another, returning it, all around the end of the 30 day mark at best buy, and they did not like that. I can't return anything there for the next 90 ays :p
[Nexus 10 General] NickS VR4:
On eBay you pay 12% plus 3% PayPal. If you sold at full retail, you'd break even with that restocking fee wouldn't you?

Hello guys

My Sony Xperia Sola was perfect until i updated to ICS. ICS is very fast,smooth and beautiful software but since then i am experiencing a wifi problem. My wifi get frozen and stuck to connected. I can't disconnect it. The only way to disconnect it is to switch of the phone. I foundnd a "solution" to this problem. Problem seems to disappear if you make a factory reset of the phone. But after a week it comes again. It's so annoying. My "solution" is to make back up-and restore once a week to avoid the problem. If i didn't do the factory reset problem comes again. Is there any solution to this issue? I heard a lot who have this problem after updated to ICS(problems appears and to xperia u)

same issue

I completely understand the original post.

I don't want to bother with any routers, 'cause it had been working fine before. It mustn't be a question of router settings.

Some software upgrade of the phone might have caused this problem and I'm still waiting for any reply from Sony on this. If they don't do anything in a month I'm gonna push this **** device to a repair station, though I don't feel much desire for the mess that comes with this procedure.

Generally the phone is very slow (and sometimes it opens the phonebook instead of call list, sometimes it take 10 secs, etc.), I wanna get rid of it but I have to wait till the end of my telephony contract's period.
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
Hi, I wonder when you record video using tf300 in a quiet environment, could you guys hear high pitch sound? Mine has..
[Transformer TF300T General] vap_66:
I confirm this, the high pitched sound can easily be heard. Shot some 1080p videos in a room and it's really annoying to watch them on a TV because then the sound is even more noticeable. Running stock rom, latest firmware.

Trimis de pe ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
Yah, really sad, this is definitely a hardware issue on the tf300.
[Transformer TF300T General] PixelReason:
Here's something I noticed:

If you have the transformer plugged in (charging) and record video, the high pitched noise is completely gone. But if you don't have it plugged in while recording, the sound is always there.
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
That interesting...
[Transformer TF300T General] PixelReason:
I'm wondering if there's anyone here that has the transformer tf300 that DOESN'T have the high pitched noise from their video recordings. If not, then I'm planning on returning mine :P
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
Checked on other forums, part seems like a lot of people are having this problem. One guy even replace his and with the new tf, still have the sound... Looks like this is a hardware issue.... But maybe there are something to donwith charging... When my tab on dock or plugged in there is almost no high pitch sound.
[Transformer TF300T General] PixelReason:
just had an idea. Get one of those mini portable battery packs (that you can stick a usb power cable into) and plug your transformer into the battery pack whenever you want to record video without the high pitch noise. Yes, it's a pretty inconvenient solution, but at least you'll be able to record good video with no high pitched audio until (hopefully) Asus rolls out a fix. Can anyone verify if this solution works?
[Transformer TF300T General] pullasuti:
My first TF300 didn't have the high pitched noise. Swapped it for another reason, and the next unit had it (both from the same store, in early june). Finally after months could not stand the noise anymore and sent it in for repairs. Device came back with the same problem, and as an added bonus, very loose upper right corner. Sent it back again. Should receive tablet in the morning (expecting same if not worse condition:). Will keep sending until they fix the damned thing.

It's a hardware issues, and there will probably not be a "quick" fix unless they add some software audio filter for that specific frequency, and I doubt they will.
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
I got a portable charger thing(Sony cycleenergy) .... Works on all my android devices and phones except my TF300T lol....

Well I can't be really sure it's a hardware issue because when it's plugged in (charger or charging on dock), the sound disappeared. Maybe they could increase voltage or something....

Well I made a poll to see how many people here has it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2027045
[Transformer TF300T General] pullasuti:
D'oh!

Who knows :)

Got my tablet back today. They seem to have swapped out the entire main board. The noise is still there, but slightly less noticeable. Don't know if it makes sense to keep sending the tablet back for this. In general the device is in much better condition than before... no creaking or loose corners, or anything. Except for the fact that the new main board seems to be prone to freezing and random reboots. Oh joy... I have to run some torture test and make sure if this is the case, and if it is... RMA again.

So, I guess in hindsight: don't fix it if it's not completely falling apart :)
[Transformer TF300T General] The Cookiemonster:
I have one of those little AA battery usb chargers. I will test it and post results tomorrow.
[Transformer TF300T General] PixelReason:
The funny (not so funny really) thing is that to get around the first problem (high pitch), we're encountering another problem with the TF300. There's another thread here that talks about how the normal usb plugs aren't providing enough "juice" to the Transformer to properly charge it. Supposedly, you can take the ASUS cable but swap out the charger base that goes into the wall socket with another charger base and it will charge VERY slowly, but the ASUS provided charger is the only one that provides enough proper charge for now.

So- Tamaskan, your Sony battery might still be providing enough charge to cancel out that high pitched noise (even though it doesn't indicate that the tablet is charging). Have you tried testing the video with your Sony battery plugged into the tablet? Because it might still be enough.

And- To do a proper test, we need to get a battery pack that has enough "power" (I don't know if it's watts or amps, you guys would know this better than I ) to charge the TF300. The AA battery pack from CookieMonster sounds interesting.
[Transformer TF300T General] The Cookiemonster:
It only cost like $5 on amazon, and like I said, I will test it tomorrow.
[Transformer TF300T General] PixelReason:
Sweet :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] PixelReason:
So it looks like there's hope for a battery pack yet.

Here's 2 threads that talk about other transformers that needed compatible battery packs and here were there solutions:

Thread #2:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1835904

If you're too lazy to check the threads (TLDR?), they also mention you'll need a Female to Female USB 3.0 coupler. This is the part they linked to:

Female to female coupler

I haven't had the time to verify that their models require the same specs that we require for our TF300's, but they mentioned something like 12V 2A is what they needed for their Transformers (reminder: these threads were not for the TF300, but other Transformer models). We just need to verify that it's the same requirements for us.

Pardon me if some of this is gibberish. It's almost 3am over here so I'm not bothering to proof this post. Just wanted to give you guys something to chew on.

Also- I just want the cheapest smallest battery pack possible. That way I can attach it to my tablet case and only plug it in to stop the friggin high-pitch noise if I want to record video. If you guys find a killer deal, please let me (us) know!
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
Looks like they can't fix it... Its like they don't even know how to solve the problems OR they just use a procedure from their stuff without really do some research. Since you still got ur warranty, keep sending it! Haha
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
And no difference with the Sony portable charger.... Still has high pitch sound. I think the asus charger gives more voltage compared to normal chargers and usb ports which has 5v. This may explain why it charges really fast even with a much powerful battery, charges slightly faster compared to my xperia u lol.
[Transformer TF300T General] pullasuti:
Yep. I intend to :)

Also, it seems that the new main board is indeed a complete failure. The tablet keeps freezing and rebooting constantly. Already RMA'd it, have been waiting for the courier for the past two days. At this point I don't even care about the microphone noise... Maybe that was their plan all along! :D
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
