Since yesterday i had Android 4.1.2 (yakju, rooted). About 9PM i upgraded to 4.2 and Root Checker told me that I don't have a proper root access. Does Toolkit 9.4 easily roots yakju 4.2? Where I can find another guides about rooting my yakju 4.2? Ah, I forgot. Noob here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickbosch:
Ditch the toolkit and follow this guide. Learning to use ADB and Fastboot empowers you to control your device and to fix any errors, should they occur ~ an unlikely scenario.

I wish everyone would let tool kits die. No offence to the person making them but it's lazy and seeing as it takes 2 seconds to set adb/fastboot up it's not really necessary...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aga2:
Had the same problem as above.

As i wanted to keep stock recovery, here is a solution (edit: I have unlocked bootloader)

a) Copy to SDcard the file: CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip from the XDA SuperSU

b) boot Nexus to fastboot

c) use the GNex Toolkit (v9.4.0) to: 10.Boot to Custom Recovery without Permanently Flashing it

d) choose: 1.Flash Clockworkmod Touch Recovery 6.0.1.4

Nexus booting to Clockworkmod and flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip & reboot (allow stock rom to reflash boot.img)

After boot, got a Rooted 4.2 with stock recovery. SuperSU works OK :good:

Thanks alot, had the same problem and this worked perfectly for me
[Sprint LG Optimus G] karelson:
Hello,

I hope this is the place for this.

My device did the OTA by itself.

the only thing that was changed is software version from E97010l to E97010o. rest of the parameters stay the same.

how do i know if I can still root and unlock my device?

did any one had this update too?

thank you
[Sprint LG Optimus G] craigbailey1986:
You can root and unlock... you must have just purchased the phone. The update came out right after the release.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] karelson:
I have the phone for a few days. I had a notification for an update for a few days, I avoided it.

It despaired and after a day it appeared again, and the installed it self.

so am I safe?

how can I block the OTA next time?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Deaf Mute:
Your safe for rooting and unless unlocking. You should be able to disable the ota by removing fota from your apn settings.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] karelson:
what is that?

how do I do that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] evilrome0:
i am under the understanding that the note 2 will not dim and black out the screen as long as i am reading and it can see my eyes. i dont know why but it keeps doing this on my phone. i see the eye icon pop up here and there on the status bar but ive had no luck fixing this.

help please!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdiddy_ub:
you want to disable it? display-> uncheck smart stay
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
? Are you saying that , even though you have smart stay on your phone still turns off .... It's works for me when the lighting is right.. Why not make the screen timeout longer.. Sorry
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] evilrome0:
i want the screen to stay on as long as im looking at it. i have my timeout set to 15 sec when im not looking at it. smart stay is checked in the display options. the reason i dont want to extend the timeout is because i read articles for news and sometimes its 30 sec and sometimes 5 min. gets annoying with it blacking out the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jinra321:
Smart stay seems to work in 2 phases. the First check is done slightly before the timeout period in which it dims the screen. The second check is done at the time out period and will turn the screen off if it does not detect eyes. Keep in mind it's using the front facing camera to detect your eyes so If your looking lower on the screen or looking at an angle it may not catch your eyes. Also note that poor lighting can result in a failure of smart stay detecting your eyes. I notice I cant rely on smart stay when browsing right before bed with the lights off or early morning.

Hope this helps.

I have not had any issues that i've seen other have on the forums but there is one issue i am having...

After the first few hours of use the antenna has either cut out completely and I see "no service" or only Edge is available.

Rebooting + open/close sim tray does not fix the problem. I am on T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassyness77:
I had to call in and have them "reset" the data on my line in order the get h+ speeds again. Also my buddy said they told him the Sim card that came with the phone, if from t mobile, could be a different type and if I keep getting issues they recommended to go into the store and request a new one. He also is having terrible speeds on t mobile. We are both seeing about 600kbs down and 1000kbs upload speeds. Used to be much better with my galaxy nexus....so I will check with them tomorrow again :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmgitzFire:
I have a similar problem but for me the H icon never goes away. It works for a good time but then all of a sudden it doesn't load anything. It comes and goes and it's really annoying.

Did you guys cut your sim card into micro or is it a real micro sim card?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitemare3219:
My reception is pretty poor. It drops pretty randomly at times which can be frustrating, something that my Galaxy Nexus never did. I typically only see 2G speeds though due to my area.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonz358:
I cut my Sim and having the same issue... Guess I have to get a real micro sim :o
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
I am using a microsim ... the one that came with the phone since I purchased through T-Mobile online.

I think it is the sim card because it looks like there are scratches on it after I had swaped it back to my vibrant with a microsim adapter.

I will go to the store today when they open and get a new sim. Hopefully this will fix this issue. It was working perfectly fine earlier.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javacody:
My N4 is dropping calls and losing network connection like crazy. I'm using the same Sim that was in my SIII. It had no such issues.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I haven't had your problem, but I did cut my SIM to a microSIM, and the first 2 times I put it in, the N4 would not recognize it. Since then, I've put it in 2 more times and it's been fine. Did you cut your SIM into a microSIM? Maybe the phone is extra picky about placement.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
SOLVED

Got a new MicroSIM and It works perfectly. My original microSIM did get scratched too hard when using a MicroSim to SIM adapter (i was testing the microsim on my old phone)

I'm happy now

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absent Crysis:
I'm Having the exact same problem, except on AT&T. Coming from an Atrix 4G, cut the sim down to micro size, only had a network connection for the first 30 seconds after a reboot. I just got off the phone with a AT&T CSR to activate a new micro sim i picked up earlier today, he said IMEI showed up in their system as Unknown, according to him because "it's an unlocked device, so it shows up on our systems as unknown." After doing the switch anyway, connection held for about 5 minutes, and now i'm back to square one. Maybe APN settings? Is this a problem with the N4, or the service?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmgitzFire:
I would think it may be an issue with the N4 since some people are perfectly fine with their connection, but then there's others like us who can't get it too work all the time =(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
i think its a manufacturing defect
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absent Crysis:
I'm thinking definitely manufacturing defect now, I went into a t-mobile store and tried one of their sim cards - same result. I even tried flashing everything completely back to stock, but the problem remains. Am I the only one experiencing this? I can't find any similar results..

EDIT: You guys think I should hold off on sending it back in until they have more in stock? So I'm not completely N4-less for 3 weeks?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capcanuck:
I noticed that the data speeds were really low compared to my s3, so I decided to try resetting my apns to default. Speeds are great now after doing that and rebooting.

I am wanting to do that. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
-They told me that i would send the phone back within 3 days after receiving the new one. So you wouldnt be N4less.

-T-Mobile deemed my Nexus 4 Defective due to either a hardware or software radio issue.

-They were unable to order me one since in their end it is back-ordered as well.

-I an scheduled to receive a call from the same rep I talked to on this coming monday. We are to further discuss the availability status of a new phone, etc.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t4t3r:
Having a similar issue with mine but on ATT. Signal constantly bounces around and even though it shows a signal (sometimes even as high as 3-4 bars), whatever I'm doing refuses to load unless. Webpages, eBay, xda, you name it. Suppose it could be my sim but it's a brand new one from my closest corporate store. Nothing has changed on my account either which I was previously using a Gnex with zero issues.

Contacted Google CS last night and they've already set me up for an advanced RMA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
The bars are not there. Its an empty triangle. And I can't even find "T-Mobile" when I search for the network operator. Sometimes edge will work. The radio is defected according to T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zpierreski:
Locked in 3G, locked out of HSPA+

Hi all,

I keep getting a similar problem where my N4 will lock into displaying the 3G icon, but never show the HSPA ("H") icon. When this happens, my data speeds get abysmally slow. I can usually fix it for a few hours by disabling mobile data for a minute, then re-enabling it.

Is this a common problem for anyone else? I am using a new micro-sim that was provided with the phone by T-Mobile.

I have also tried to reset the APN settings using the method described above, but no luck :confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seemonsters:
I have super weak signal on T-mobile but that's because I'm indoors in a shakey 2G spot in my house. On the roads I get full HSPA+ at around 22mbps and it works great. On AT&T I get 1 bar edge in my house, and on Verizon I get 1 bar on my old flipphone, whatever speed that is.

So basically nothing really works with a crap in my house, and so my battery life isn't the best it could be, but since I'm here it's charging anyway.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I have AT&T (cut SIM down to micro) and a T-Mobile micro SIM. Doesn't matter which I use, I still get intermittent data/signal drops, jumping from full bars down to one, random complete loss of signal, and times where it drops down to EDGE in locations where I've had rock solid HSPA for years.

I must say, every single Nexus device I've had (all of them) have been extremely disappointing with regard to RF performance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
i'm praying that Google will push at OTA within the next few days to fix that stupid "december missing" glitch and include a bunch of fixes at the same time. I really want to be able to use my nexus
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
its a damn miracle. I may even start believing in a god now.

I was supposed to ship my nexus4 to tmobile to return it since they deemed it defective (no signal), all settings were correct and went through the whole thing.

So everyday i checked it and it never worked. Last night i packaged it up to ship. I saw the 4.2.1 update info so i figured I'd see if i can update and maybe it would fix the issue. I took the nexus4 back out and ... Well, the update wasn't OTA so i didnt do it. But i figured let me pop in the sim card again and try it out one last time..... low and behold... full service! And I am getting great speeds too! I think the google god was really looking over me.

I hope the antenna doesnt drop again and die like it did when i first had this issue. Here is a screenshot of my speeds.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aron7awol:
There are 3 Nexus 4 devices that I've had my hands on for extended periods of time, and I still have my Galaxy Nexus, so I've done some experimenting. The first device was a 16GB N4 that my friend let me borrow until my 8GB N4 came in. In the 3 days I had it, I don't remember experiencing any random signal drops. In fact, I was remarking on how great the reception was on the device. Then I got my 8GB N4 in the mail, and it was a reception disaster. Absolutely horrible reception in places I've never had signal issues, complete signal drops left and right. I exchanged the device and I've had a new one for a few days now, and while it has been a huge improvement over my other one, it still drops signal completely from time to time, in places that I should have no issues. It seems like these devices are particularly sensitive to being held, a la iPhone antennagate.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilredstang:
Same problems here, do you think hardware or software issues?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert_W:
it coud be. Thats what t-mo originally said to me...that is has a defective radio. However, after it magically worked, when i was hanging out, i went from full Hspa to full edge. I asked to see both my friends GS3s (on tmobile too). They had the same edge service. And like it was orchastrated, all 3 of our phones cycled service quality between edge, HSPA/4g, and no service. I think it may now have to do with T-mobiles towers. I've been fine for the past day though.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
Check about phone > status and make sure you are getting an hspa+ connection. Check it when the mobile network is active and data is transmitting because it will drop down to regular hspa while idle. Also, in order to get DC-HSPA (which is required for 42mbps) it has to be available in your area. Not a lot of markets have it yet.

I am getting hspa+:15 in the settings with speed test running in the background. What does that mean? 42mbps? Speed tests 6-7mbps at best with 1sec latency! Latency is worse than what I had on hspa 14 on the Samsung exhibit ii.

I am in Philadelphia. I thought we got hspa+ 42 a long while ago here. Although the network seems to always be congested here, often coming to a complete halt, forcing me to go to edge to send and receive emails.

[EDIT]: I think I was wrong on HSPA+ 42 being available in Philadelphia. We're still on 21. According to an article on android central we will get HSPA+ 42 on the 1900Mhz band here instead of 1700Mhz AWS. HSPA+ category 15, which is what the reading in the settings are showing, refers to HSPA+ 21 ... so no DC-HSPA here :( ... I hope the upgrades come soon, and take care of the congestion issues around the busy parts of the city during the day. It's stupid to have a smart phone that cannot even send an receive emails !

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] traesnaidensdad:
You will need to delete or rename (example-message.apk to message.bak) the message.apk and possibly change permissions to rw-r-r. You can do so by long pressing icon, scroll down to properties and click it using es file explorer. Then restart your phone. If icon is missing from the dock look in your app drawer. Also, you must enable up to root in settings in ES Explorer and mount. Go to system folder, then app folder.

Is this a personal opinion review or a Company self advertisement post.. I do not see much about what you like and dislike about the case...

I bought this same type case back a few months ago . The device does not fit properly in the molded plastic. It also provides NO Protection if you drop it the device will slid out and likely be broken by the very plastic it sits in... Just my opinion Nice pics thou.

I don't know if you watched the video review or not(that's where my thoughts are), but I said that I didn't like the bulk of the case that is added with the two stoppers inside the front flap and that I personally find the added features more obtrusive than functional. Also, the Nexus 7 fits just fine in the plastic housing.
