[General Questions and Answers] zigi1337:
Hi guys

Mad respect for this community, until now i have only been a read only user, but now i need help, and i am on killer deadline so i registered. :eek:

While my first post is more like being request for help instead for contributing i hope there will be someone ready for helping me on this one. :fingers-crossed:

Here is the deal. I work in a small software company and me and my college got the task of being in charge for installing and configuring apps for 1000 tablets. :eek:

Few days ago around 500 tablets arrived and we had to pair them all manually with BT device that we developed.

So now i am looking for quickest solutions and I ask you guys for any kind of help or advice how can I automate tasks or do this the easiest way instead of using brain damaging, painfully slow, manual method.

For every tablet ( Huawei Mediapad 7 Lite) i need to:

1. Configure System settings

2. Install apps (2 non-market apps)

3. Install some kind of App locker (I need blacklist functionality, maybe some kind of free solution for configuring restrictions)

All 1000 tablets need to be left unrooted, so I need some kind of solution like creating backup image for

apps (app data too, if possible) and system settings, or maybe some ADB software from which i can automate this while connected to PC?

Thanks ahead!
[General Questions and Answers] zigi1337:

[HTC EVO 3D] linjun45634:
Hi, I have an old Evo 3D purchased from eBay (shipped from Singapore).

The phone is now out of the warranty, so i decided to install a custom ROM.

What happened was that the phone was running on stock ICS.

Then I unlocked it through htcdev. S-on, HBOOT 1.53.0007

Installed 4ext recovery, works fine. v 1.0.0.5 RC5 (seems a bit too old, but it's the only one worked)

Then I flash a Jelly Bean 3D rom through recovery, successed, but when the phone is rebooted, it stuck on the animation (the animation is working just fine, but it just doesn't go anywhere, it doesnt reboot itself either).

I read the other post, and flashed a stock rooted ROM named EU_Shooter_U-1.20.401.8_ROOTED.

Then samething happened again, black screen, and doesn't go anywhere either.

I don't know what i should do to fix it now.

Please help.

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Well your hboot 1.53.0007 will not allow jb roms to boot, so you have to downgrade your hboot which you can only do if you are s-off, you can likely flash a ICS 3.6 rom, but flashing the kernel with s-on requires you to flash the kernel (boot.img) with smart flash on in 4ext, my suggestion is to s-off downgrade your hboot. AFAIK flashing a ruu requires you to relock the your bootloader

( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! :D)
[HTC EVO 3D] linjun45634:
Are there anyways I can do S-off withouteven going into the android?
[HTC EVO 3D] xninjax420:
linjun, is this your first time rooting? You need to at least watch a couple YouTube videos to get an idea of how to do it. Simply unlocking the bootloader is not enough.

Once you DO learn how it's done, it's actually very easy. Just practice, practice, practice...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
No. The cf root method is definitely as easy as it gets right now. Its posted in original development BTW. And no that warning has nothing to do with flashing the wrong firmware for your device. You get that warning when the Odin flash failed or got interrupted. Plug the phone in to the PC with that screen displayed and reflash cf root. Just check your cable/switch USB ports make sure your drivers are installed etc. Sounds like this was just a fluke

[LG Optimus G (International)] gregk232:
I have posted this on the ATT LG Optimus page...

Greetings all,

This phone is a beast and it is a shame that it does not have an official car dock. I am coming from an Atrix and am really used to the ease of snapping it in place and charger/aux cable is already connected to the mounting unit.

Note: I do not have a Bluetooth enabled receiver in the car, nor do I want the HTC or any other Aux => Bluetooth music adapter.

A few questions:

1. Is there an OFFICIAL car dock for another phone that will fit the AT&T Optimus G? (preferably with audio through USB)

2. Anyone know if the IBolt for Galaxy S3 will fit the AT&T Optimus G?

3. I have read the post on the Infuse Car dock, but doe it pass audio through USB? Would it work with Optimus G?

4. If anyone has any other working solution, I would really be thankful if you could share it.

Thanks!

If I delete from Mac Mail it is deleted form the web, but not the phone.

If I delete from the web it isn'r deleted from the phone either, but it is from Mac Mail.

It is syncing incoming mail, everywhere

Ideas?
[HTC Sensation] ema0185:

here's the fix.

Menu/Manage Apps/Calendar Pad & Calendar Storage & gMail/Clear data for all 3.

Accts & Sync/Google/uncheck all/recheck and sync now

That fixes Calendar from there out.

gMail is still weird.

If I delete from the phone, it deletes from MacMail and Goog webmail immediately.

If I delete from google webmail, it deletes from MacMail and phone immediately.

But if I delete from MacMail, it stays in both webmail and the phone.

I guess the MacMail integration isn't quite.......

I have had my SGS3 since July and I have had a screen protector on it except for 1 week and in that time the phone got 3 nice scratches on it.

I am anal with my phone as I have a screen protector on it as well as one on the back and a rubber case over it also, so this is not a case of

being careless.

I put a post on Corning's Gorilla Glass 2 Facebook page and I got a reply saying basically Get in touch with Samsung as Corning can't do

anything, but if I want to discuss the problem further, contact them at gorillaglass@corning.com

Why doesn't everyone who has had problems with their screen contact them and maybe they will see this isn't an isolated incident.

This is what I wrote and what they replied...

Here is a petition I started in hopes that there is a possible solution to our problems.

I am very protective of my phone. It was scratched in the (1) week I didn't have a screen protector on it. My original SGS's

screen was in new impeccable condition when I sold it after using it for 2 years, so why is this new phone scratched after

only 5 months?

Ian
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pat.:
There's lots of ways to scratch glass, a bit of grit or sand in your pocket ETC .. i wouldn't risk using my phone without a protector for even one day.

Might have to eventually just accept you scratched your phones screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 393stroker:
I too have been very careful to not scratch my screen. I am fanatical about clean hands. The smallest partical of dust seems to be able to scratch the screen. As much as this phone cost, you would think they would throw in even the cheapest screen protector to hold you over untill you can get something better. Am i being too petty?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Pat.:
I find a good quality screen protector is not even slightly noticeable on the screen & in no way affects use, i have no idea why they don't supply one.

I am also amazed they advise against using them in their literature.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reyciugar:
I like my N4 alright so far. I am having a problem with the GPS, though. It takes a long time to lock in on my location. I'm just checking in Maps, and it seriously takes 30 seconds for the GPS to lock on. Once it does lock on it's solid, but the time it takes to pinpoint my location is disappointing. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, are there any possible solutions for this problem? Do you think I could get a warranty replacement for it, even though the GPS locks on eventually?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reyciugar:
I did a factory reset and it locks on a little faster now (~10s)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reyciugar:
Well, I'm having the same issues again. I used GPS Status, and after 10 seconds I'm locked onto 3/18 satellites, 5/18 after 15 seconds, and 8/18 after 30 seconds. It's really annoying. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Hardware? Could it be solved through software? I've tried FasterGPS, and it doesn't really help. TIA

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hankdu:
I don't have a gps fix issue but have a different question for those who have been driving around using their nexus.

I have been driving around using Google navigation (gps enabled) and music playing in the background on my Nexus 4. The odd thing is even though I have the usb car charger plugged in the battery continues to drain.

I went and bought a usb charger that supports 2.1 amp charging thinking it might be the old usb car charger not powerful enough but, nope, the battery continues to drain with the 2.1 amp charger.

Something I did notice is that with a 2.1 amp charger is that the phone drains much slower (minus 1% every 25 minutes) and if I turn off the gps the phone actually charges normally like when it's plugged into a wall socket.

When I was on my iphone 4 I could listen to music, use a tomtom app while charging my phone. At the same time. Why does the nexus 4 use so much power with the gps turned on?

Is everyone experiencing this? if not which car charger do you use?

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

Another thing I have noticed during my gps experience is that if I listen to music and charge the phone at the same time , there is a high pitch noise in the background that is really annoying. Is there a way to stop this from happening? And is this normal?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
That's pretty much a maximum-drain scenario, with both the GPS and cell radios going and (during the day, at least) the screen brightness very high. I haven't done a lot of experimenting, but I looked at my battery graph after about a 20-minute trip with GPS and Pandora going, and that time showed an essentially horizontal, but squiggly, line -- my battery was at 80% at the beginning and the end. (It does charge when I'm not using navigation, though.)

I've had a similar scenario with previous phones. Generally speaking, when I'm using navigation, there are significant times when nothing is happening ("Stay on Route XXX for 21 miles"), so I turn off the display during those intervals to let the battery charge. I still get the voice prompt in time to turn the screen back on to see my next turn, so it's not a big loss.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnfound:
Battery should charge regardless. Is your charger showing up as USB? Many car chargers are optimized for apple standard and only give 500ma to other devices. It is a quick and easy mod to fix it though just need to solder 2 pins together, plenty of tutorials online and discussion under any charger on amazon.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hankdu:
Turning off the screen sounds like a good idea, I will try and see if it improves. Been reading around lots and this seems to be the only solution. Just glad this isn't due to a bug or a defect unit.

Extra information: the 2.1 amp usb car charger when plugged into my phone shows AC charging mode.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hankdu:
I found a solution for my battery draining while using gps problem. The reason seems to be related to the data cable that is supplied with the phone. I bought an off market micro usb cable from eBay and when I used that in my car, whilst using google navigation, the phone charges up as normal.

I hope this help others too.

Could it be that I'm in Taiwan?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sga999:
I've posted on another forum about this issue, but I didn't see this one until now. I had problems with GPS right away when I got my N4 on 12/10, so I did an RMA and got another Nexus 4 yesterday. New one's GPS is much better. (It has another problem...its volume rocker is wiggly and wobbly! I'll live with it). However, the first N4 seemed to do better yesterday than it had in the 10 days before. I have no idea why....there were no "fixes" put on or anything that would make it work better. Anyway, it sounds like some of you might have defective ones, and maybe you should RMA it. Just be prepared to possibly have a different problem when you get a new one!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinjin12:
definitely me. half the time , it takes like 3-5 minutes to lock on and sometimes i just doesn't find any gps at all.. and i'm using it from the same locations during the tests... and then sometimes it takes 15-20 mins to lock on. it's usable.. i did factory reset and flashed the firmware and it's the same problem. might be a faulty gps for me. my iphone 3g locks on way faster...very sad
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timhl7:
Same with me. Half the time it works fine and the rest it wont lock at all. GPS test shows the phone is seeing plenty of satellites but won't get a lock on any of them. I hate these random problems, it would be easier if it was just not working all the time, it would be easier to diagnose or just return.

I'm going to try flash a few ROMS to see if it makes any difference.

Just so someone wouldn't take this seriously: GPS signal is only broadcasted by the satellites in space, your phone (and any other GPS-enabled device) is just a receiver. It doesn't transmit anything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
Adding agps to APN type works for me. For the initial GPS lock but after a few minutes the pointer in Maps drifts further and further from my actual location. Turning WiFi on seems to be the only solution for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpgo:
I have a similar problem.

I'm in the UK and on 3. I've got a 16GB Nexus 4 which I've had for about a day (using stock ROM; all updates installed).

The problem is that after the phone has been in sleep mode for just over a minute, after coming out of it it will fail to get a GPS lock in GPS location apps (e.g. status pull-down menu says "Searching for GPS"). GPS status apps will show e.g. 17-21 satellites in view, but it won't get a lock (no signal on pretty much every satellite).

Using the app GPS Test (from Google Play), if you make sure no other GPS apps are running, and use its clear A-GPS data command in settings, it will get GPS working again (within seconds!). (Sometimes I've had to do it twice, but it always works.)

Next time the device goes to sleep for over a minute, it will stop working again pretty much without fail. However, I think it does randomly start working again too.

I spoke to Google support who are sending me a replacement device, though I'm not convinced it's a hardware problem.

So, can anyone confirm that GPS works fine after putting the phone to sleep? I'd test in the following way:

1. Download the GPS Test app from Google Play (it doesn't have to be that particular one, but it's the one I'm using)

2. Open app and check you have a GPS lock

3. Close app

4. Put phone to sleep (via power button) for at least 1 min 15 secs

5. Take the phone out of sleep and immediately open the GPS Test app again and check if it gets a lock

(6. If it doesn't, you can try the 'Clear AGPS' button in the app's settings page.)

I've attached two screenshots. The first is at step 5 when a GPS lock fails (even with waiting, in this case about 2 minutes). The second screenshot shows GPS working and was taken about 10 seconds after running the Clear AGPS command (but pretty much straight after running the command, satellites start to show a signal).

Cheers
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Just did that test with GPS Status (cos I have it installed) and it works as it should the second time around.
