[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Are you using the desktop or "modern" IE? The latter may be more limited. However, I seem to recall a rumor that the Flashplayer for Windows RT lacks the broker process which let it break out of the Protected Mode sandbox. This is a good thing in most ways (Flash being a steaming pile of security vulnerabilities), but it may make it unable to access the webcam.

You could *try* (I don't recommend this) adding chatroulette to the IE "Trusted Sites" security zone (under Internet Options -> Security), and making sure that Protected mode is disabled for Trusted Sites. This will require that the chatroulette tab be loaded in a separate process (but that's not a problem; IE has been able to handle multiple processes for a long time) and will be running with very low security for that tab, *but* that might just let the webcam be accessed by the Flashplayer plugin.
[Microsoft Surface] drsqueggy:
Thanks for the reply. I have tried adding both sites to "trusted sites" but its actually the Flash software that can't see the devices. I've been into the Flash settings in control panel and it can't find either webcam or microphone, the webcam isn't available in the devices and printer tab either. In all my other machines you can see them in that window. I'm guessing its something driver/Windows RT related. I've tried to get it work in both desktop and metro browsers and no joy at all, its as if its only accessible to trusted apps from the store.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ldmtwo:
Interesting problem. I bought an i717 off Amazon that was already running a custom ROM. So everything should be easy from there right? No. I had to flash CWM and root it still. I got it rooted. CWM is "there", but it wouldn't flash anything at all. Not my Titanium zips, not the JB ROMs I want to try out, not the radios, etcetera. ODIN is being an even bigger d'bag. Almost every time, it is now failing after Setup Connections.

The few times Odin works, it flashes correctly and boots the OS as if everything is fine. If I reboot or try to get into recovery mode, it hangs/crashes after briefly showing "Samsung".

Recently I flashed the stock recovery and boot ROMs.

I have been trying to change the CWM install as the next step.

Any advice? What am I missing? How are these devices setup?

I imagine that the BIOS knows about 2 boot paths (bootloader and recovery ROM). The bootloader sets up and moves the program counter to the OS code ....and so on. Where is the link broken and why can't I directly get into recovery? Button combos haven't been working or I'm not doing it right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Firstly:

WHY DOES ODIN SAY EPIC 4G?

Are you using the right phone or in the wrong forum?

The Odin issue is most likely due to one of the following failing:

driver/cable/usb port (on pc, or worse on phone)

Get yourself a different data cable, Uninstall drivers, reboot, reinstall drivers, swap usb ports on the pc using one attached to the motherboard no front ports or hubs, right click and run Odin as administrator.

Still fails rinse and repeat until all your pcs usb ports are tested.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bthorne79:
I have found that the verizon data cable for the vcast from ecomoto work best the number on cable are skn5004a
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flymacs:
I think "EPIC 4G" is the title listed in Odin's .ini file. That should have no effect on flashing.

In addition to studacris' excellent suggestions, what version of Odin are you running? Are you running the most recent version? v1.85 last I checked. What version of CWM did you flash?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillweed:
Hey all,

I debating on getting a Nexus 4 (when they are available again), but I want to use the device without signing up for cellular service, you know no data plan and voice plan. I know this is probably ridiculous because most people buy a phone to use it as a phone, but I don't want a phone and don't want to place my money into restrictive apple products (e.g., ipod touch). So can I buy the phone without signing up for prepaid or contract services? I don't need to activate the phone if I'm not using it as a phone, right, thus turning the phone into a ipod touch (but better than the ipod). Has anyone successfully done this?

Cheers,

Dillweed

I am almost in the same boat as you are. I am trying to get the Nexus 4 as a complete android device for the possible feartures/uses of such a device. I will be using it for a phone but I will be using it as a wifi phone with Groove IP. The Nexus 4 is the only small device to have such a good screen and the android experience with such a fantastic price. I have been doing a lot of research and I am totally convinced that I will be able to use the Nexus 4 without a sim card so no carrier at all. Glad to see someone else thinking the same way.

Have you considered buying Nexus 7 instead? It's pocket able. You will be saving 100 dollars.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmart75:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillweed:
Thanks for the information everyone!

I've thought about getting a Nexus 7, but I want something that I can easily fit into my pocket. Like I said before, I'm currently using an ipod touch, but I don't like the restrictive nature of iOS. The Nexus 4 seems like the best phone out there right now that is unlocked and can be purchased without a contract.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
It is. The phone can definitely be used as an iPod Touchesque device, but with a bigger screen, Android, etc.

The thing is, do you want to sacrifice the ability to put in your pocket (not portability) for much larger screen, cheaper pricetag, and larger storage?

Technically, you would be using the Nexus 4 as a tablet, so why not get a Nexus 7 instead?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
In addition to that.. Why not just jailbreak your iPod and save some money?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dillweed:
I'm hesitant to get the Nexus 7 because it's just easier to carry a smaller device.

And yea, my ipod is jailbroken. I've had for a couple of years now and it's time to upgrade and give the ipod to the kids. I'm not in the market for more apple products, yes they are well built and reliable. I could get a new ipod for the same amount of money and 32gb of space. But then I'm dependent on the devs getting out a jailbreak. It seems that as time goes on the jailbreaks are getting longer to be released after a new iOS is put out. So I wonder how much longer jailbreaking can go on. Yea, everything is hackable, it just takes time. I really like the development of Android and one of the big reasons I would like to get a Nexus 4.

In the end, I really just wanted to know if use of the phone is possible without a contract from a service provider. So, thanks all for the information.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bstern:
- Steps to reproduce the problem.

I have seen a couple of other freeze ups from time to time, rather randomly, in various apps, not just Chrome.

In this case, I clicked the "All Apps" button in the lower right corner, and it froze.

- What happened.

The system froze, and then the screen went black. Now I am completely unable to restart the tablet. I does not matter how long I hold down the power button, either alone or combined with the volume up/down, it remains bricked. While connected to USB, it will show the battery charging icon in the middle of screen every 10 seconds (stays on for ~3 seconds) while I'm holding down the power button.

As of now the tablet is basically dead.

The tablet was running Android 4.2.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Call +18553926398 from Skype. It is a Samsung Nexus Repair Center. From Skype it's free of charge line. I had problem with battery in my nexus 10 32gb. I had to send it to US on my cost. I spend on it (from Poland to the US) about 70euro(by UPS), from the US to Poland about $50 (by DHL). But Nexus came back repaired on warranty and it took about 1 week only. It easy and It worth to try. Important: Samsung Repair Center can send your fixed Nexus only to the US (to the US it's for free), so I used MyUS.com for 'a proxy' to send it to Poland (and this part cost about $50).

[General Questions and Answers] jk0l:
As much as I like how much thoughts that Google has put into making a better lockscreen with widgets,

I find it kinda taking up spaces and not as efficient as they thought it would be.

I always like a clean, neat looking lockscreen which Google got it on ICS. And that gave me a few ideas.

One thing that they got it right is the quick toggles pulldown. (Thank God, finally.)

And I think that is the direction they should be heading to: Pulldown panels.

Pulldown panel is one of many things that I love about Android.

It's useful and accessible anytime anywhere.

One for notification, one for quick toggles, and one for "quick widgets."

A quick complaint on the toggles:

Google, please make the tiles smaller.

And please revise it into how CM has implemented it.

One tap for on/off. Long press to go to its settings page.

Thank you.

Now, about the quick widgets.

This is what the fruit company initially and partially got it right.

This pulldown should be for weather, stock, NFL/NBA scores, current traffic, etc.

And a sync button to sync instead of having them running in background all the time consuming power.

And maybe for some ads too, like Amazon today's free app, Play today's free music tracks, etc.

And please make it interactive like notification panel. Or like the lockscreen widgets on 4.2.

Either pull it down or swipe it across to reveal more infos. Tap on it to go the full app.

These widgets are stationary, and can be added/removed in settings.

Lastly, make all pulldown panel pull-able even when there's a pin/pattern/password on lockscreen.

For privacy on notification, make it says: A has sent X messages, a missed call from B, C has X comments on your FB wall, etc.

Tap on it will prompt user to login before taking him/her to the full app.

This is another thing that the fruit company got it right.

The quick camera access is another one that Google finally got it right.

Again, fruity got it right first. (Argh!)

But please make it swipe-able back to the lockscreen. Thankyouverymuch.

Also, I hope they do some with the black status bar on lockscreen.

The lockscreen on MIUI, WP8, BB10, Sailfish looks really clean without that black bar.

Maybe they should make it transparent like MIUI.

And I hope they implement some gestures to hide the status bar + the navigation bar,

like pinch the screen from the top+bottom bezel into the screen,

so finally everything can be enjoyed in fullscreen and get some screen estate back, yet status bar + navigation bar still easily accessible.

The way CM does the hiding is not that efficient.

And save that AMOLED from burn-in.

I watched a clip of Sailfish OS. All the gesture is a bit confusing, yet it's interesting and inspiring.

[Nexus 4 General] twistedh:
Ok guys, now this method isn't for everyone. And could prove expensive for some, but it is something I have been running recently so that I have fast net whilst on the move with my gadgets.

I currently have a One X and waiting for my Nexus 4 and I have recently been carrying my Samsung portable 4g hotspot with me while I am out and about (I usually always have a rucksack with me so carrying the hotspot isn't a big problem - and has quite a wide radius when I don't have it on my person).

And while my phone is connected, via Wi-Fi to the hotspot, I also have better battery life with my phone :) I intend on using the same method once I get the Nexus 4, as we dont have Band 4 AWS LTE here in Denmark.

I'll be upgrading to this new hotspot shortly: The Huawei E589 - Mainly because it has improved battery life, 3000mah compared to the 1650mah I have on the Samsung hotspot at current. This should allow me to simply leave the hotspot on the whole day without having to worry too much about the battery dying. The hotspot also has an micro sd lot, allowing support for upto 32gb - which I can access over the Wi-Fi network. No need for USB OTG here or a portable wifi hard-drive, it's all embedded into the hotspot. :good:

The issue for some, is the price, having an extra 4G plan, could be costly, especially for our American, British(I say British, but I mean Londoners given the poor coverage of EE) and Canadian brothers on the forum, but here in DK - a 4G plan, is not so expensive in my opinion - about 250DKK / £25GBP / $40USD for 20GB data a month.

Maybe it's an option for some who desperately need 4G LTE and improved storage options? It works for me, it might work for you :confused:

[Nexus 4 General] twistedh:
It supports all frequencies from what I can see on the site.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
In the UK our 'cheap' plan is 500MB/month - for £36!

LTE is an expensive luxury here - especially with Three & O2 rolling out DC-HSPA+ for no extra cost - LTE is better, but it's not worth 4 times the price.
[Nexus 4 General] twistedh:
It just launched to be fair and EE are taking advantage of the monopoly until next year when the other networks can offer 4G - hopefully that'll mean more competitive prices as I'm in the UK a fair bit myself so would be good with a cheaper alternative to EE. Hoping that Giffgaff can offer a good deal when O2 gets 4g!

I knew data was expensive but didn't realise it was so expensive I some parts of the globe! Count ourselves very lucky here in Denmark :)

http://www.4gsource.net/3g-4g-route...hspa-42mbps/sierra-wireless-aircard-754s.html
