[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootusr:
I just applied the Android 4.2 OTA update in my stock Nexus 7 and noticed that everything in the screen looks smaller, Icons, menus, etc, Even the wallpaper I had looks cut now just like when you increase screen resolution on Windows.

Is someone else experiencing this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
Yes, they made icons smaller. Nothing major.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfad666:
build.prop still says 213ppi but I also have the feeling that the icons seem smaller.

EDIT confirmed: left is 4.1.2, right is 4.2
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Every point in your post would be irrelevant if the release datr was pushed back. So just image the release date is in 2 weeks and you shall be happy, no?

Also, logistic is not advanced enough to be able to warehouse 30million unit and ship them all in 2 days.

Seriously, put yourself in the shoes of someone in an alternate world where the release was like the 25th. It really won't make you cry as much.
[Nexus 4 General] THE_KINGDOM:
30 mil units lol.. buddy u clearly haven't understood possibly how little devices they had stocked.

talking about a later release date and a launch date that completely failed are two completely different things, you're clearly missing the point here
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
We don't. What would you do? You'd make more devices appear out of thin air?

Your entire argument is based around the conspiracy theory that Google is not trying to do whatever they can as fast as they can. You don't know that, you can't know that. They (and LG) can only produce devices so fast.

Although hype and demand are great, every time you have a stock-out situation, you potentially lose a sale. People get annoyed, they change their minds, or they spend their money on something else.

As far as I'm concerned, money in hand today is better than potential future sales.
[Nexus 4 General] milkisgood123:
man, a lot of butt hurt people who didn't get the Nexus 4 are spewing rage threads left and right.

Demand > Supply.
[Nexus 4 General] THE_KINGDOM:
oh because mass production facilities in this day and age, cannot provide more devices than what Google offered on launch?! come on.. look at how many iPhones can sell on a launch. They had the power to make more devices, and they could have taken preorders, and then still claimed "sold out" on the launch day if they really wanted to pull the "marketing scheme"
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
None of that is valid without evidence of exactly how many devices Google had prepared for launch. And if it was a unreasonably low amount, what factors impacted the availability of additional units.
[Nexus 4 General] THE_KINGDOM:
my point was not what factors impacted the availability of additional units, but the fact that when people are delayed a product with only a 1-year useful life span with it's successor only 1 year away, many will start looking elsewhere.

Plus if you read all what I wrote, I was explaining the importance of putting Nexus phones in the hands of as many users as possible, so they don't have to be disappointed with a non-Nexus device and lack of updates again...

We all know Google had the power to release more units on launch date. Regardless of how many units they did or didn't release.
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
I agree that getting a Nexus device in the hands of as many people as possible is necessary for Android's success. Definitely. And frankly I'm quite convinced that Google does not care about the other players in the Android market at this point or about the openness, etc. of Android nearly as much as people think (or would like to think). They've got one thing in their sights: Apple. And they'd be crazy not to. They are well aware that 35 different Android phones all poorly-skinned and slowly updated is never going to compete. The problem with these forums is developers think they sell phones. They don't. They are the 1%. Consumers don't care about many, many of the things you look for in a phone but they buy the most of them while being the least vocal. They are the money.

What I disagree with is that the implication that Google intentionally did not have enough units on hand. Forecasting supply and demand is very difficult, and the fastest way to sink the ship is to have expensive hardware laying around - especially, like you said, when that hardware only has a 1-year lifespan and you're already selling it at a discount.
[Nexus 4 General] THE_KINGDOM:
Firstly, glad to see you agree that Nexus devices are the key to Androids success.

I see your points on having over-stock can be detrimental to a companies success, however pre-orders can forecast sales extremely accurately. After-all it's a pre-order.

And in regards to your comments on developers buying phones, being nothing but a small percent.. I agree. BUT I was emphasizing how I think that with this Nexus device, finally we do have a device that has many of the features that the average consumers do look for in a phone, therefore potentially generating massive amounts of money for Google, if they had understood that this phone is no longer targeting only a niche market of dev's. And quite frankly I think it was obvious to see that this device had reached out to more target markets than prior Nexus devices, it doesn't take Einstein to figure that one out. And again, pre-orders would tell us just that.
[Nexus 4 General] sroach23:
I doubt Google will care what a couple of impatient little babies are complaining about. "I couldnt order the new phone the first day it came out and everyone tried to order at the same time."
[Nexus 4 General] THE_KINGDOM:
lol somebody didn't read the first post, AT ALL.
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
Sorry, the comments about developers were mostly a personal rant. I get frustrated when people are too close to the issue to fully see it. Ironically, while vanilla Android and a Nexus device are the most developer-friendly, the are most the most consumer-friendly too. When I moved to CM10 on my S3, I found a) the interface more pleasing and much more cohesive, b) easier to navigate. Samsung really went out of their to bury options and settings in TouchWiz and their idea of pleasing interface design is questionable. Must be painful for their developers to actively make something less appealing and more complicated. I digress.

I do feel that splitting stock between pre-orders and "walk-up" sales would've been a good strategy. Especially because you could've had devices in peoples hands for launch day, which would've meant an actual launch day rather than just being available to purchase -- which isn't excited at all from a marketing standpoint.
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
This is one of the things that failed before with the N7 release. Some stores jumped the gun and started selling earlier than Google sent out preorders.
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
Not talking about stores. Was more of along the lines that if they take pre-orders in October with the release day being November 13th, they ship pre-orders with 2-day shipping on the 11th. Walk-up online sales begin on the 13th, as well as in-store sales where applicable. Sure, some people may get a phone a day early or a day late, but it's more exciting than nobody getting a phone.

Stores are entrusted to release inventory at certain times frequently, that's a whole different issue.
[Nexus 4 General] THE_KINGDOM:
Exactly what I was trying to say. Vanilla devices being more Dev-friendly AND more Consumer-friendly. Well said. This is why it is so important to make these devices available to consumers.

Pre-orders are definitely the way to go to gauge consumer demand, especially when you can start pre-orders a month in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] SIGUEL:
Do you know that aside from the Sprint version, all the IP5 are on back order with a minimum waiting time of 2-3 weeks.

If Apple cant keep the in stock, what makes you think that Google could??

SKYNET

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

Even if you pre-ordered that doesn't guaranteed that will be enough for every one, look @ the IP5 for proof of that.

SKYNET
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
Well, to be fair, the iPhone 5 and Nexus 4 are in different leagues in terms of demand. And Google has a hardware partner with years of experience in manufacturing and delivering high-volume electronic goods.

And simple -- limit pre-orders to your actual supply or a fraction thereof.
[Nexus 4 General] yahoowizard:
It's honestly been one day since the release. If you don't get a product on launch day it doesn't mean that the company is failing >.>
[Nexus 4 General] SIGUEL:
What people seems to forget is that this mayhem and the Nexus 4/10 selling out plays in favor of Google.

This have been reported in every Tech website and TV, that free marketing and hype = more costumers = $$$$$$$$

There's probably a bunch of people that never considered or knew about the Nexus product line and got interested just because of this.

SKYNET
[Nexus 4 General] THE_KINGDOM:
I personally think they should implement pre-orders for the Nexus 4 now, to gauge consumer demand for the next release, and they will also then have committed sales. It's technically not too late. Pre-ordering is just a better ordering system overall, at least people can have it pre-ordered, and not have to constantly check the play store, for an undisclosed release date.

Plus when orders do process, if it exceeds supply, then throw it on back-order for 2-3 weeks.. no problem, at least people will know.
[Nexus 4 General] bdithug:
I absolutely agree 100%. Funny how this thread reminds me of past threads before the launch. There are two that come to mind.

The first one being the thread I started about why Google was not offering some sort of preorder option. To me, that alone is poor planning. Just because the N7 preorder didnt go according to plan does not mean you scrap the preorder idea and just have a free for all scramble for phones. As said above, preorders are definitely the way to go to gauge consumer demand, especially when you can start preorders a month in advance.

The second thread that comes to mind is one that had something to do with Android Fans turning into "isheep" or the equivalent to. Whenever someone on here posts anything negative about how Google handled this launch, you have people replying calling them babies, go cry to so and so, you're just upset because you didnt get a phone, etc... These are the people who are infact the isheep of Android. They agree with Google 100%, Google does no wrong, Google is perfect, etc.. They stand by Google without having an opinion of their own. They make excuses such as "How is Google supposed to know what the demand is?". Honestly, NOBODY can predict what the exact demand will be on any given product. That is a fact. But to the extent that Google underestimated the demand, it is either: a) poor planning, or b) planned for whatever reason they had.

Nobody can honestly say this launch went smooth. It did not. You can make excuses as much as you want, the fact is Google messed up. Whether it is the planning that should have taken place before hand, the 11:30am EST launch (when everyone was told 12 EST), or even allowing one single Google account purchasing multiple devices while knowing they have a limited supply. I think the majority of frustration comes from the fact that Google is such a powerhouse. And up until this point, they have handled almost every situation they have faced quite well I would say. Expectations were high for them. Like I said, they are a powerhouse. This launch was definitely an opportunity for Google to step up once again as it has in the past, and follow through to its customers.

In short, I think what the OP was trying to say, is that this was a huge opportunity for Google, and still is. And that this phone's availability to EVERYONE is key to Googles growth.
[Nexus 4 General] SIGUEL:
People are making just to much of a big deal. The phone will be available some time in time for this holiday just wait a bit.

They probably could have done better, Preorder must be a most next time.

SKYNET
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
A lot of things could've been done better, sure. But the reality is that Google has not failed to deliver on anything they've committed to thus far:

Device was available for purchase on the 13th

Still within 2 days for order processing

Likely to ship on the 15th which is the only date anyone has been given

Shipping will likely take 2 days as promised
[Nexus 4 General] THE_KINGDOM:
Well said!
[Nexus 4 General] fatjivi:
I curse all who were able to buy N4
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
So... people cry that its a marketing scheme to hype it and consequently sell more. And at the same time they want nexus to be adopted by everyone so disagree that there was not enough N4 for the whole wide world on day 1....

Hey, I know that launch was ****. But you guys are still hard to follow.
[Nexus 4 General] Hung0702:
Well, guess I'm unsubscribing from Nexus 4 GD... every other thread is a witless rant about how the N4 launched. Wish the mods would move all these threads to a new sub-forum, Nexus 4 rants: A place to make baseless accusations and unfounded criticisms.

[Nexus 7 General] thejrcrafter2:
Hey guys,

This is my first thread, so yay for me. Anyways, I decided to make this thread for talking about one of the biggest disappointing parts of the N7- the camera. There is only a front-facing camera, and a low-quality one at best. In the N7 unboxing the XDA way, though, we found that there is a slot for a rear camera. If anyone decides to work on getting a rear camera working, or any other camera hacks, post them here! I'm really interested in what you guys can come up with, and no doubt someone else in the forums is too.

Good luck!

[Nexus 7 General] Kepas:
There is already one thread, where one canadian (i guess) tries to mount a rear facing camera. And he has his one thread, so there is no point migrating in this...

So Boo for you.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkhull:
I've searched a lot for this and did not find anything. I would like to change the colors on the note 2 email apk. This is, to have a white background with black text. Is there a moded apk or a way of doing this? Can anybody explain it to me, please?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiXe:
I read somewhere that there are 2 different themes for different gnote 2 versions. you can try googling it for the apk. What drives me crazy though, is that the screen dims significantly when I open the mail app, does that happen to you? going back to home screen or opening the mail settings restores the brightness. In mail itself, it goes dark, too dark to read I think.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkhull:
Brightess is just fine, no diming problems.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rnrnrn:
to resolve the issue with display brightness in stock e-mail app: go to settings / power-saving - and disable "background color" option (change background color to save power in internet) - this will affect both the native browser AND the e-mail app (don't ask me how is e-mail also "internet"... ;) )
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whmcal:
There is an option under settings > accessibility, which allows you to 'invert colours'. Select this. Give it a go. White backgrounds will become black and vice versa.

GoogleApps (GAPPS) 4.2

download link: http://d-h.st/Khw

just flash zip in recovery mode. ( this zip will replace camera, clock and other stuff from jb 4.1 with stuff from new release 4.2 )

These apps are not mine, i'm only reporting them for the community.
[HTC One X] gregneal:
Does photosphere work?

What's working and what's not working on our one x?
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:
What works and doesn't work will depend on what ROM and possibly Kernel you're using.

I just tried on my One X and my Xperia S both running the latest CM10 nightlies.

Everything seems to work on both devices except for Photosphere.

On the Xperia S it just crashes back to the launcher straight away. On the One x the app launches, but as soon as you start to capture the scene, it crashes back to the launcher and the phone gets super hot.

I'm interested to know if Photosphere works for anyone else.

Also, as this replaces the clock app, make sure you set your alarms up again or you'll miss work tomorrow! lol
[HTC One X] rdelsol:
camera is much better in 4.2
[HTC One X] gregneal:
Just about everything is working really well. Camera is incredibly speedy, but photosphere doesn't work.

Also I wouldn't install the calendar from that package, as the one on the play store is more recent.
[HTC One X] clr822:
Everything seems to work nicely even photosphere for me running orio rom
[HTC One X] Sentinel196:

misleading... these are pre 4.2 apps, meaning anything fixed or added after 4.2 final update came out

isn't included. I'm really kind of annoyed.

plans to update?

[Nexus 7 General] Tor-Lein:
Hi!

I had quite alot of trouble finding a way to sideload Android 4.2 to my Nexus 7 using Windows 8. It seems as if alot of folks have trouble with this! I tried many guides, with no luck. I tried my own way, and this worked for me!

So here is my guide!

1. Download ASUS USB Driver here: asus dot com / Tablet / Nexus / Nexus_7 / #download (Select OS: Other. Then select USB. Download Zip.)

2. Extract Zip to a folder you easily can find. You need this in step 7.

3. Reboot to bootloader. (Power down. Power up while holding VolDn. Click VolUp twice. Press Pwr. Enter bootloader.)

4. Enter Device Manager. (Press WinButton+Q. Select programs. Type Device Manager.)

5. In that list, if your Nexus doesn't work with ADB, it show a "Nexus" with a yellow sign on it. If not, unplug your device and plug it in again.

6. Double click the "Nexus". Select the Driver Tab. Select update driver. Select "Browse my computer for driver"

7. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".

8. Select "Have disk"

9. Browse to folder where you extracted drivers from ASUS. Select "android_winusb" Click next. It should say something about compatability. Click yes.

10. Select "Android Bootloader Interface". Install.

11. All done!

Try sideloading your update, or do whatever you like. ADB should work now.

Please reply if this works for you, or if it doesn't.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttreed07:
i personally haven't used many drawing apps other than snote, but that being said snote is a great app for simple drawing and there is little to no lag when using the stylus.
