[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
I just received a replacement seven this week for the same issue, mine stopped charging. I called google play customer service, and they didn't give me a hastle at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksonic:
Were you rooted/running a custom ROM? I am, and with my N7 not getting recognized I feel like flashing back to stock might be problematic.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yea, rooted, custom ROM and kernel. doesn't matter though, it just started one day randomly. I finally did get it to charge BTW, by giving it a few firm smacks on the back. they didn't even ask if it was with root or if it was a custom ROM. if its hardware related, it won't make a difference. i sent it back with twrp recovery, rasbean jelly rom, and trinity kernel. i did wipe the data and the storage before i sent it in.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NathanRandom:
Yeah my Nexus' charging is messed up since 4.2. Battery seems to run down extremely quickly (around 30% in two hours with Spotify on and general browsing.) Plugging it into the wall with the official charger sometimes charges it EXTREMELY slowly, and sometimes just says its charges and still the battery is running down.

It happened to charge last night, and over the course of around 10 hours, I think I had 60% battery. Trying to charge now, and nothing, just losing battery. No idea what the issue could be. Tablet completely stock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blebla:
+1 on this issue. N7 isn't charging when turned on, no charging issues if turned off. It isn't recognized when connected to a PC. Whenever I try switching users, the darn thing restarts itself. It does the same thing when I try USB debugging. I am running 4.2.1.

Please help!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __Adam:
Investigated problem

After upgrading to 4.2.1 my N7 charged very slowly. Finally today I decided to investigate it, albeit inaccurately.

Plugging a 2A charger into my 120V power monitor, I noticed the following:

When the N7 was on, the power draw continually alternated between 0 watts and 2 watts.

When the N7 had been shut down from the bootloader (not from the OS) and the cable plugged in/out, the power draw was a constant 2 watts.

The max charging rate of the N7 is around 10 watts.

So it looks like the N7 is will charge either very slowly, or kind of slowly. What I find strange is that this issue only occurs on some devices. Perhaps later devices use a different charging controller?

Either way, would really like a fix for this.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
From the way you described your test setup, you seem to be measuring the power consumed by the charger itself on a 120 VAC source. The wattage there should be low, albeit still higher than what you're seeing. Along that line, if you ever see it go up anywhere near 10 watts, then something has gone horribly wrong.

Also, the slow charging seems to be peculiar to 4.2 and above, indicating that it is not actually a hardware issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngusTutnbull:
same!

Been having the same problem for a few days now, I was on stock 4.2 and updated today to a custom ROM based off of 4.2.1 and there is still no difference. Anyone found a solution yet?? Its quite concerning especially since I got mine from GameStop in the US then moved to the UK shortly after!

Just wanted to add, before this started I was having the same problem that is talked about here http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-7-tablet-forum/228706-nexus-7-problem-wont-charge-when-does-screen-goes-dead-pixels-fly-across-screen.html

I figured it was caused by letting the battery drain completely so I opened it up pulled the battery plug out, plugged it back in and charged it till it was full and it continued to work. haven't let it die since.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasman66:
Same problem here, stock Nexus 7 running 4.2.1, roughly 2 months old.

It charges when the device is turned off, but will not charge when powered on -- started happening about 2 weeks ago (charged fine previously). This is using the stock brick and cable that came with the tablet.

I have to imagine that this is a software issue and that the next one will have a similar problem -- has anyone else swapped one out and had the problem disappear with the new one?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mxl180:
it's not... if you look closer that's the reflection of my TV mounted on the wall. Good stuff eh?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KB112:
There most definitely is an exposed corner. Shows it right on that Amazon link.

I think it's a nice looking, quality TPU case, but that open corner puts me off.

Nice 1 there...thinking of getting 1 too..but havent decided on the color..mine is the white version..any suggestions besided white @ black?..thanx for the review..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Funkym0nkey:
Here is how blue colour of this case looks on the white phone.

The front and one of the back images are taken with flash which kinda screws up the colour, last picture is how it looks in reality.

Frankly in person this case looks quality premium case. It feels nice in hands. I first got Mercury case for my original Note 1 and since then I was waiting for them to launch it for Note II. They have now become my go to manufacturers for cases for all my phones.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hot0m:
Do you think that white color case would get stained after a few months of use much like other TPU cases? Is there any way to order these without that antenna cut-out on the left side? It offers no scratch/drop protection on that corner.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
beware, there are many fakes, if you are getting them from ebay, stay away from sellers from hong kong and china, may be other countries as well.

seller from korea are a safe bet, but cannot be too sure.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kms108:
can you show me the under side with the stick, then I can be 100% sure.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Max_Pain:
I got three of these...light blue, black and white. they look great and fit great. I think they are the nicest looking cases I've had in any of my phones. so yeah, i'm stoked. specially for the light blue. great shade.

if anyone wants pics let me know. I thought of doing a review but then realized this was already up. no sense wasting time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bgowland:
Arg this thing is so damn slippery. One of the main reasons I got a case was the phone was always slippery (although I tend to be a little more oily than most).

I loved the Incipio Feather on my iPhone. Slightly grippy. I like the protection and have contemplated going to something like the Rearth Slim because I love the slim cases, but would hate to see what happens in a drop. I did drop my iPhone twice while in the feather and the feather took the brunt of the damage, which was great.

[HTC One S] AKToronto:
I was looking at this DEV thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1998270 and was checking out the possible radios to flash, if I decide to do a bootloader downgrade.

My current radio baseband version is 0.17.31501S.10_2_10.27.31501S.10L

Im running on Bell Mobility in Canada.

The radio seems to work well, but sometimes wifi can cut out on Viper One S, and I just wanted to experiment with other radios.

Does anyone know if a backup of this baseband version exists, or alternatively a method for how to backup my current radio?

Either would be helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Not these one bro..I need the those without semc in the beginning
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pipi14:
Or just reflash rom with flashtool.. If that dont work try deleting app data and if that dont work do full wipe (factory reset)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
All the Apps modified by Sony have Semc in the beginning. SemcPhone is Sony's phone app, SemcContactProvider is Sony's too. It looks like you're on Stock ROM, so I assume that a combination of SemcPhone and SemcContact should do the trick.

There's also LocalContacts.apk , SimContacts.apk, ContactsImport.apk, and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk . Try installing these.

If someone else could upload the XU's apps it would be great. If not, then I'll upload the Sola's , as the are probably the same.

Hit thanks if i helped !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pipi14:
Why upload anything? Download fft image of your software and flashtool, when flashing untick full wipe (factory reset)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] psyionx:
this is so true.... for those who updated their phone with the fft file already have everything related to stock. you just need to dig it out

I am having battery issues when using GolfLogix which requires GPS to be on. The battery gives out in 3-1/5 4 hrs whereas previously it used to last 18 holes and into the evening.

I installed BetterBatteryStats and have been in contact with the developer of such. I sent him a file dump and he has reported back that that file is showing the following

"the cause of drain is obvious from that dump: your phone is keeping a serial connection"

Can anyone explain to me what that means, how it is possible and what is the fix?

So I have been trying to figure out this thing about missing calls and not always being able to make calls. Right no im on DG rom stock tw jb witch can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1869300 good rom btw just had to some tweaking on my own.. still learning about the samsung s3 stuff but not new to flashing etc..

Anyways.. So I have flashed a modem which I flashed the UCLH9 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1831898) and used kernel from KT tw jb version ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756776)

Also changed my apn settings witch really the only that I really had to change was in the apn type default,supl,mms,hipri( cause I wanted to fix some signal/lte settings) and thats all. Just to give a little bit of an idea what I have done so far..

I main thing is making calls I have found a couple of things about missed calls etc but just talking about setting contacts to go into voice mail and or rejecting numbers..

I have posted in the rom thread that im using but Im not sure if the dev or really much of anyone is on it there is but not as active really.

So when I try to make calls sometime it tells me that I can not make this call because of the country im calling from. I live in u/s FLA. What I have notice is that there is a plus sign in front of the number im calling not all of my contacts are like that so I.E it looks like this +386XXXXXXX so I would have to delete the number which will appear like this 1 (386) xxx-xxxx and it will go through no problem. So Idk what is making that do that.. and sometimes I wont even get a phone call and then the person will text saying why are you not picking im calling you like 100xs lol never receive. the call. Now in the rom thread someone other member post this from another user..

Originally Posted by lessthanzach

Ok I tried using the ril files from the LH1 ICS release. I didn't have any signal after replacing the file and rebooting. I then used the ril from the LI8 TMO leak and I do have a signal now

I cant tell if it fixed the issue. I just had my gf call me and it went through.

Before I put the libs into the release would you guys mind testing for me?

This zip file is NOT flashable. just unzip it, push it to system/lib and change the permissions to match the other files in the folder. it should be rw,r,r

Link: http://d-h.st/p72

Was thinking about doing this but not really sure on what to do with the zip do I just add it to my extsd card and click on that file and unzip it..?

So yeah i have been looking for this answer for awhile I dont want to go to another rom because im liking this but just that bug about the miss and out going calls..

Thanks for any info about this!!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettray:
I have the same question, I got the case open expecting this to be easy but I'm not 100% sure what to pull off the PCB. I think you are right that it has to be the part labeled 331. There is just not anything else that it could be.

That said I'm not willing to pull it without some confirmation. Maybe somebody here with more EE experience can tell us for sure.

I don't get my nexus 4 until tomorrow, maybe once I have it I can get the charger to beep and listen for where the sound is coming from.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettray:
The 4 little rubber feet on the bottom pull out and there are 4 small Phillips screws underneath.

I had to use a small screw driver to pry up on the feet, it felt like they might rip but they all came out undamaged. Once those screws are out the top and bottom are still held together by a couple of snap-tabs in the middle of the long sides. I was able to get them apart with a little prying and again nothing broke even though it felt like it might. The PCB is held on by 4 obvious Phillips screws.

Sorry I don't have any pictures and can't take any until after I get home from work later.

The part labled 331 looks like an choke/inductor to me. I wouldn't remove it...

edit: do you have a picture of the other side of the PCB?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettray:
The only things on the back side of the PCB are the two LEDs at the top. I am beginning to think that the sound is coming from the coil itself, like it is performing double duty as a charging coil and as a speaker coil.

BTW, I got my phone today and can confirm (as has been said elsewhere) that this charger works perfectly for charging the nexus 4. Well... expect for the loud beeps.
