[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueback22:
I just fixed this for the other guy. What is the file path of your fastboot.exe file?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verusevo:
Its in user/downloads/root. on both my osx/windows drives.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueback22:
In your windows VM, is it inside of the Android SDK/Platform-Tools/ folder?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verusevo:
No its on the virtual C: drive in the downloads/root folder. Root being the folder I created to extract all relevant unlocking rooting files to
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueback22:
Download and install the Android SDK. Use the fastboot tool that is inside of the Android SDK/platform-tools/ folder. I can almost guarantee success.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrix10:
My win 7 didn't recognize my n10 fastboot too, so I went into device manager and updated the android 1.0 or something by selecting the main SDK folder in the android SDK as an update source

Same for adb
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorpiomaj27:
For reference for folks like me looking back at this, I was having the same issue with RSD coming up no matter which way I reboot.

To resolve I did as follows, opened up CMD and typed out fastboot.exe oem unlock, but don't hit enter yet, reboot device then immediately hit enter (before screen lights up again) and keep tapping volume down (to pre-empt the RSD stuff), might take a couple tries, but oem unlock will work, then do the same trick with TWRP 2.8.6.0 in my case (you can't flash TWRP if it's locked), some of the TWPP downloads were causing the RSD issue, but 2860 worked.

For flashing, should be as simple as fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp2860.img (or similar file name.)

After you run TWRP 2860 you should then be able to reboot and keeping hitting down to get back to recovery and/or fastboot. Good luck.

This is regarding Xoom Wifi Only and getting up to Omni511, but may work (I would assume) for other bigpart roms.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinktrousers:
Help lol

I have done everything in this post but I still can't get my device to be recongnized when I type fastboot devices. Also when I type fastboot flash recovery (name.img) it says waiting for device

What should I do now, as I said before, I have done everything in this topic and yes my phone is able to unlock bootloader
[General Questions and Answers] bebop_:
Hi all,

I have a y-splitter cable manufactured by motorola which I am trying to attach to a power supply (5V/1.6Amp), a motorola xyboard tablet, and a star microsystems TSP650 printer. I am trying to find a way to test the USB cable to see if it is broken independently of the hardware it would be used with.

The goal of the system if for the tablet to charge through the power supply as well as print out receipt style paper from the printer.

Right now, the y-splitter cable is powering the tablet, but not printing. I internetted, but google wasn't much help.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
I had no issues reported in previous threads..

-yellow screen? Nope.

-Rattling? - Nope

- Crickling noise with earpiece? Nada

UPDATE: The crickling noise is actually there, but its so damn minimal I can't even hear it from an inch away in the most muted environment. I personally believe it isn't a hardware defect, because since it is a speaker, I would expect a small amount of static noise to slip through. Overall, I can't hear it while I'm on the phone, or when the phone is OFF, so if anything its software that's triggering it.

If you SEARCH for an issue, you will find it

But why bother to, if in the end your just going to complain?

Still pretty damn happy beyond believe with this device. Regardless of the smallest OCD issues reported in this forum.

Just a heads up for people who got confirmation emails last night, and is expecting a phone today! Looks like (well atleast to me) the problems aren't there.. Or maybe I'm just extremely lucky.
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Really...glad your phone is perfect. Mine is too, but I don't think we needed a thread for this.:good: maybe go to each thread and report your findings? If everyone made a thread about their phone. It would be cray up in hurrr.
[Nexus 4 General] nickcuban:
Mine has a blue spot on the screen. :(
[Nexus 4 General] 666fff:
Exchange it.
[Nexus 4 General] nickcuban:
I'm going to. Sucks though... I went through the same crap with Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
all screens have defects. Amoleds, especially the one on the Galaxy Nexus, are more likely to have defects compared to LCDs. i think you were just unlucky with this Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] nickcuban:
I really hope so. Its not awful, here is a picture but its kind of hard to see.
[Nexus 4 General] nickcuban:
Side by side of the same picture... it might actually be easier to see without the circle.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
And then people wonder why the "nexus is so bad" when apparently you can only post problems?
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
What if the replacement has more issues?
[Nexus 4 General] nickcuban:
That's what happened with the galaxy and google ended up refunding me.
[Nexus 4 General] BiDuSoft:
If I were you, I would loop a video for like half an hour and see whether it improves. I also got similar things on my Xperia S and it's actually fairly common if the LCD is new or it has not been used for a long time. I looped a video with a lot of action and moving scenes for about half an hour and now it's perfect.
[Nexus 4 General] barmanham:
Mines gets a yellow spot as well it went away tho came back then a little again now its gone...
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
What's a good video?
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
You don't read. I said report in those threads that you don't have issues. Others did the same,as did I. Ready. Set. Go. Everyone make a thread about the condition of their phone. See how ridiculous that Would be? I was just saying this wasn't new thread worthy. Get your undies out a bunch:D

[Nexus 4 General] thefallen924:
just got mine today and i have to admit i was worried after reading about the issues people are having. i even tried to cancel at one point. i am so extremely happy i didnt. beautiful design, screen looks great, and i finally get the pure google experience. no issues here.
[Nexus 4 General] Lt.Tealc:

[Nexus 4 General] ericshmerick:
I bought a N4 on eBay (I know, I know I overpaid). Will be here tomorrow.

The seller advertised a "1-year warranty through Google!"

Let's assume I have an issue. Since I am not the original purchaser, can I just call up Google and get it replaced if something's wrong?
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Sure why not?

Sent from my phone somewhere in space
[Nexus 4 General] Stryder5:
It's showing up with a price for me. Where are you seeing this?
[Nexus 4 General] ericshmerick:
Well because I've only ever bought imported non-warranted phones (none from Google Play) and didn't know how the warranty transferred. I paid like $600 for my GNEX (from England) when it first came out, so I've never actually owned a phone with a warranty.
[Nexus 4 General] ugotproblemz:
Got it yesterday and spend day with it (normal usage)

-Built: Feels SOLID! the OEM bumper case makes it feel EVEN better!

-Screen: came from sg2, have to say, im LOVIN the screen, only think i hate about it is how if you view a white screen from different angles, you see this yellow tint =/

-Rattling: Yep! very minor tho. you can hear it but you cant feel it

-HPSA+ : Works fine on tmo

-Battery life: Fully charge to 10%, 12 hours and 34 minutes with 2 hours and 30 minutes of screen time. About 300 -400 text sent/recieved and on off wifi during campus. (sorry cant figure out how to get screen shot to work yet)
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
I tried to cancel mine too. I'm still waiting for mine, hoping there's no problems.
[Nexus 4 General] Erikbronx:
Same hear. I love the loud speakers as well.:good:
[Nexus 4 General] idividebyzero:
Pretty sure the crackling ear speaker is on all phones, people who say theirsdoesnt do it probably are in a room with too much ambient noise or have bad hearing. It is extremely quiet and not everyone will be able to hear it. There is no technical reason why it is a manufacturing defect, it only makes sense that it is flaw in the design or the software.
[Nexus 4 General] Argenist:

[Nexus 4 General] ceroglu:
How hot does your device gets? I just got mine today and feels like it is a little warm. With regular use I get up to 50C and with heavy usage and charging at the same time, I get up to 60C. These reading are from system tuner, and i would appreciate if anyone can tell me how is their temp readings are? thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] kcls:
Only problem mine has is it didn't come with a plastic piece around the chrome part. Anyone else get this? Should I be worried?
[Nexus 4 General] KevinChaos:
It's actually 4 separate pieces. One for each side, and they don't cover the entire side so look carefully. Mine had plastic everywhere lol. I'm loving it though!

Although... I feel like the headphone volume isn't as loud as my galaxy s 2? Does anyone agree or do I have a problem? When I plug it into my car and use Google Music I have to turn my radio up all the way and I get major feedback because of it.
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
This might be true. First day I had the phone I couldn't hear it, but on the second day in a quiet room I could hear it
[Nexus 4 General] BiDuSoft:
Try some intense action scenes like Avengers or something similar .... Just loop it for like half an hour, you will probably see some improvements.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Are you talking about Comfort Noise? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfort_noise

All modern voice systems do this, since people don't like completely silent phone connections - they assume they've been cut off!
[Nexus 4 General] ballu84:
Can someone please explain the crackling sound a more please
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
Put the headset right next to your ear like you're talking to somebody on the phone and you may hear a static noise. You have to be in a completely quite environment to hear it
[Nexus 4 General] axtn95:
I get rattling whch i dont mind, but then my camera started making LOUD autofocus sounds of the actual lens moving. The lens always makes a sound its very low, even on gnex, but this was insane! Phone shut off with low battery charged it, now im good so far...
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
Loving it too,but battery its a problem!
[Nexus 4 General] droidmakespwn:
I was just thinking about making a similar thread to this because while I was waiting for mine to show up because I saw nothing but people saying problems it was having. It's nice to have a thread that relays that there are plenty of them that have shown up in perfect condition.
[Nexus 4 General] ballu84:
Oh damn. I hear it! Its pretty obvious too! Should I exchange the device??
[Nexus 4 General] kcls:
No it's definitely not there. I've run my finger nail over the entire edge, and there's nothing there. Plus I held it up in the sun and I can't see anything. Oh well.
[Nexus 4 General] LawAce:
No problems here, absolutely perfect.

Build quality is above my HTC One X and my SGS2. On par with my iPhone 4 I would say.
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
Only problem I have is that I only have 3GB of storage left. But that's my fault, since I just couldn't wait. My original plan was a 16GB model. But oh well, it won't be a problem until way later when I actually use it up so for now I'm not going to even worry about it.
[Nexus 4 General] nickcuban:
Go to the Google Movies app on the phone and its there.

The movie didn't help mine. I guess I'm calling today.

Anyone on Tmobile having issues getting H+?
[Nexus 4 General] leventccc:
I will buy my nexus today and I hope the result will be same as yours :(
[Nexus 4 General] nickcuban:
On the phone right now getting it swapped out.
[Nexus 4 General] Poughkeepsie125:
That's exactly the reaction I had.

The build quality and materials are a definite step up from the standard fare from Samsung, etc. It's almost Apple-like in the fit and finish - it has a certain heft that does remind me of the 4/4S. It's quite nice.

And I've had none of the issues previously mentioned.

Happy customer here.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
After a couple days I can say that mine is also fantastic. No issues with the screen, glass, or build. It doesn't creak, crackle, snap, or pop.

If I figured it out, I would like to see someone come and sue me for flashing my own personal property, what a JOKE!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Here's the thing. You own the device, not the software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
In theory it should be possible. We are using an ARM-powered phones and so does Microsoft/Nokia. However, we will need drivers for our hardware, such as graphics, and Microsoft won't give you those. The very helpful community here needs kernel source code to write them for you and that means Microsoft has to give you kernel source code. Do you begin to see the problem?

And then, after all that, your phone does not exist in a vacuum, no, it uses services provided by Microsoft, and you have an unauthorized device consuming them. I imagine they would respond the same way as when people tried to mod their XBOXes. You will be left with a perfectly functional useless phone.

Argument is the same for running iOS on our phones: possible, but very difficult and ultimately pointless.

Wait a few months and you will be able to run Ubuntu on your phone. Maybe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
HD2 was unique in that it was a windows phone that shared the exact hardware specifications of an existing android phone. Therefore, drivers, binaries and such didn't have to be created from scratch in order to port the os.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaveNavy:
You have to be kidding me.

Here's the thing. You own the device, not the software.

Who gives a rats ass, I'm not flashing it to sell it on the open market, so I don't really see anybody ever knocking on my front door to ask me what ROM I'm running on my own damn phone, grow the hell up, you pay 4 times the amount a carrier pays to subsidize a handset and FCC already said it is ILLEGAL for carriers to disable handset function a well as lock SIM slots but here you are on here trying to add two cents to something you assume to be correct but is totally not true, you can flash your phone with whatever you want!!!! Reminds me of when I was a kid in school when people used to say if you cut a penny in half a Federal Agent would magically appear and take you to Guantanamo Prison....LOL WHAT A JOKE!!!!! FLASH AWAY PEOPLE, THAT'S WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT, Nobody comes to XDA to learn how to enter a new contact into their handset, its a Development site!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
You must be the biggest idiot on this entire site. As another poster noted earlier, in order to get a closed source OS to work on an unsupported device, you must first obtain drivers and whatnot for that device. Who do you think you're going to get those from? Whoever owns the OS and they're never going to give them to you. What you think also doesn't matter. The fact is that it IS illegal to port a closed OS no matter who you are. You do NOT own the software on your device. For example, this is why Microsoft gives you ONE product key with Windows that only works ONCE for the set of hardware you are installing it on. Why do you think Android, webOS, and Ubuntu are the only OS' being ported around?

Also, no one's going to come knocking your door down. No one ever said that. But if you somehow manage to port that closed OS, and spread your work, which in most cases you will because that's what hackers do, you WILL get sued by that OS' owner whether it be Apple or Microsoft.

If you're that interested in Windows 8, it's much easier to sell your device and just buy a Windows 8 phone.

I suggest you do a little research before you open your mouth. You're making yourself look like an idiot.

The only way for the moment to have your Android phone to look like the Windows Phone is to get Launcher 8 from the Play Store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Far_SighT:
Not in the near future.

One does not simply port a closed OS. You CANNOT just *flash* WP8 (LMAO) because there aren't any zips just lying around.

Microsoft and Apple are really serious about their security: For instance, the encryption on a WP8 phone is backed by the TPM 2.0 standard, which requires unique keys to be burned into the chip during production. The firmware has a secure UEFI environment that validates that the device has all of the keys on initial boot. The boot manager knows which applications are to be started on boot up and will only launch those that are signed and trusted. Custom ROMs will not have the correct digital signatures and therefore will not be able to start.

So NO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
It would also be considered warez ....not allowed on XDA. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Windows eight would be sick! Get on it devs

we'd need a new kernel to read our hardware and tell the software when we push a hard key...is my guestimation. And we could completely wipe the internal disk and format it to whatever filesystem windows needs. Or alter the needs of the os to that of our phone likely impossible for non engineers that would oppose the idea. And in some recovery installed ha somehow.. Install the windows os. Somehow seems like a ton of work but I think its possible. Just by no means easy and not likely being developed.

Signature of the hour: Anybody with time to spend on XDA has time to learn/Google just about anything.

However, I love inquisitiveness and fuels xda to a large extent so ... Nice question :D
