Hey guys

Im from Norway and this summer I followed a guide to get my phone yakju(?( to get updates direct from google instead of samsung. I have had jelly bean since then. Now I have seen that i can update to 4.2. First i reset my phone to factory because I had so much apps and stuff so it was slow, and now when I signed in to my google account and was gonna check for updates, I cant find the new update. Im still on 4.1.2. Do I have to flash it again or something? I tought that yakju was forever. What do I do to get 4.2? And I also heard something about 4.2.1 coming soon, should I just wait? I googled and found the factory images from google, but I forgot how to install them and if I should or not.

THanks guys. I hope I dont need to root or something, because I like everything stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zelly2k9:
nevermind, got the update directly from my phone now. But if i get some trouble, show me how to flash from stock 4.2 image
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
read the sticky at the top of the forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkdonkey:
Use this software:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392310

with this you can download and flash factory roms.

I found it among the stickies, just like the other guy said, just to let you know it won't update on its own unless you donate:

so if you don't find the factory rom you're looking for (for example the upcoming 4.1.2) you will have to manually re-download the whole software as soon as it gets updated with the new version of android.

[NFC Hacking] ahzhang452:
Hey,

So awhile back the guys at Ifixit tore a droid razr open using a knife... and happened to have found NFC hardware but no Linux driver to run it, so, is it possible to enable that NFC chip? If not, is there any NFC micro SD cards being sold in Singapore?

Thanks :D
[NFC Hacking] Shark_On_Land:
No
[NFC Hacking] cabagekiller:
I believe your best chance is a NFC enabled SIM card.

As the question says, I finally could root my 1.85 HOXL but I can't unlock the bootloader with all the methods I have tried, my main goal is to install the viperxl rom and receive the ota updates from them, so I ask you if I can flash that rom even if I'm not bootloader unlocked?

Thanks for the response guys and excuse me but I'm afraid of bricking my phone...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] superchilpil:
No, there is no risk in the bootloader unlock anyway. It was developed by HTC

I suggest you read around and have everything downloaded before doing so. The bricking threads about the bootloader unlock are from stupidity. If you understand what you're doing or atleast follow directions you will be fine

If you need help there's always someone here :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
No.

Where are you getting stuck?

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

I see from your other post here that your issue is just lack of knowledge, rather than the SuperCID methods not working.

In that case, agree with superchilpil that you should read/learn more before proceeding. Its really not that hard, once you've done the research, and follow the instructions carefully.

Hi i got a 2600 mAh power bank to my HTC One X and i wonder if it is dangerous for my phone. I read once that if i am not using the original charger the phone battery can expload or get overheated? Is that true or does it depends on what kind of charger you are using ?

relock the bootloader via command fastboot oem lock in fb. Then run ruu according to the firmware of your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] afrojoc:
what is ruu? is this something i have to download?

sorry i'm such a noob

EDIT: Found out that ruu seems to be the firmware version or stock"rom" sorta. it's the executable correct?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WhatTheAndroid?:
What software were you on before you rooted, 2.20. Because i think i have the 2.20 ruu version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] afrojoc:
2.20 I also used the newest root method if that matters.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WhatTheAndroid?:
htc_one_x_RUU_2.20.502.7_att_us_08022012

This should be the name of it. and this is the link i downloaded it from when i needed to ruu back to stock. If you have the all in one v 1.1 one x toolkit you should be able to lock bootloader from the command there and THEN run ruu:

this is if you are on att htc one x(evita)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Venomous Viper 119:
I see no need for this thread to exist as it is pointless. Everyone uses the apps that satisfy their own needs. It may be anyone, a dev, a user & a noob. Opinions differ & this thread may lead to pointless arguments as to which app is better in it's own regard, while every opinion is influenced by the touch of a personal preference . Better if the thread be closed.

I used to have a beautiful life before... Now I'm in engineering !!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Rishabh13:
Thread is not meant to argue over which app is better. In case of disputes such as those everyone just tries out both apps and keeps the one they prefer. Also, there is not a single person out there (or here) who's app selection hasn't in some way been influenced by the people he interacts with. This gives such people an opportunity to find out about and try out contemporaries to the apps that they are using. It gives you a sort of freedom, which is what makes Android SO much better than the iOS or ANY other phone OS available.

This also gives newbies a chance to find out what more experienced people prefer and why. Finding out the perfect apps for your new phone is way harder than it sounds, especially since they keep adding hundreds of apps every week.

Still, as you put it, you have your opinion and I have mine.

I created this thread to help people but if you still aren't convinced then feel free to report it to the Mods.

-Dropbox: cloud storage.

-link2sd (stock) or s2e (cyanogenmod): Apps for using the partitioned sd card and solve internal memory problems.

-terminal emulator: for the random stuff no other app will do.

Mods:

-adrenaline engine: pretty much an all-in-one performance boost with increase sd card read/write speeds, zipalign, better ram management, etc.

-cf-root kernel: for some reason it's always been the most reliable and stable kernel for me, with the best battery life (and I've tried lots of custom kernels).

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Rishabh13:
Hmm... Common opinion is that ES File Explorer is the best, but have you guys tried out SolidExplorer yet? Apart from the inbuit music player it has much of the same functionality. The interface and the appearance is a big plus, especially the two panel system. I recommend having them both. Also, once you have these, they negate the need for Root Explorer.

Also, SuperSU might be a better option than SuperUser. It was built from scratch to specifically counter the problems that SU was facing. pointedly on the CM9 & CM10 ROMs. SuperSU also has faster and better interface.

Terminal Emulator is a good choice but the text warping is really bad.:confused:

Music player would be Player Pro (customisation), or Miui Player (the karoke style inbuilt lyrics reader is awesome!) and finally the UberMusic Player (nice appearance, small app, interface is good AND it's got this little list of upcoming songs that's invaluable):D

FB Reader is a must. It remembers the page no. even after shutting off the phone and has lots of customisation options AND it smaller than most readers.:good::good::good:

Kingsoft Office, anyone who needs some project/office work done on the go knows exactly how amazing and necessary this app is.

Gmail is a necessity. period.

Script Manager is also a must, if you want to run V6 scripts and set up shortcut commands to scripts from Term.Emulator.

Games depend on the user, but don't all time classics like doodle jump, cut the rope, fruit ninja, angry birds and nin jump always have a place on our phones?:p

Finally, we have the Gapps (excluding Gmail). As we get better software, roms become bigger. Now the question is: which is the best "minimal GApps" pack out there??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Snowdogg:
Anyone had similar issues? :confused:

Over three weeks in, I am still blown away by this phone as I am finding new features everyday BUT I am also having difficulties with my power button. As I read in the Sprint forum, some time ago, it was noticed that the power button seemed loose, 'rocky' on a pivot. Other Note II demo phones had some flexibility with the power button as well. I haven't read about any problems with a lagging or unresponsive power (not home) button due to this but NOW it seems I have to press moderately-centered on the button to either wake or ZZZ the phone. Before it seemed I can press this button with as much force as the home button, even at an angle (Note II is wider after all). So my BIG question :eek: Have you ever pressed on the power button more than once to just wake up your phone? Or, put it to sleep? Do you have the press the button dead centered for it to work? And, does your power button seemed rocky, even slightly?

I am not rooted...running on good ole factory specs! My phone has never been dropped or damaged either. I would hate to send the phone to Samsung and be without one for 2 weeks, so I figured to troubleshoot with you guys first :cool:

Much thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] quinto0827:
my phone did the samething within 3 days of when i got it. i just took mines back to at&t since it was so quick and the manager gave me a new one. hopefully someone does come up with a way to fix it without you having to send it yo samsung.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ingrown:
My power button is 'rocky'; it seems to pivot from the center. However, I can press it anywhere to wake the phone or turn the screen off. There's a satisfying click when I do press it, so I'm not worried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willzilla:
Same issue with my power button. Happened only a few days after I received mine as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Snowdogg:
Gathering the input so far, I think I might have to send this to Samsung to get it repaired since I passed my return/exchange period :( I have insurance but I am also under warranty with Sammy, so that route would be cheapest. Good thing I still have my old flip phone from 2005 that still works but going to dread going back 7 years though!

Lets hope that this doesn't become an eventual problem for most. Thanks for the comments so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tizzy:
Definitely take it back to repair it. My power button started off rocky and eventually became worse with use. I had to replace it. Get it fixed ASAP

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kamikaji:
Does anyone know what at&t's return period is offhand? I've got the exact same issue with my handset :/

Also, if I'm past that point, does Sammy charge for fixing the button?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Snowdogg:
I believe it used to be 30 days for personal accounts, now those terms only apply to corporate accounts. For personal accounts, its now 14 days. From what I understand, this policy covers items bought from a corporate AT&T store, or ordered direct from AT&T. You are allowed to exchange or return at a corporate store, with a possibility of a $35 restocking fee depending on the scenario. Also, you can also send it back to AT&T but you will have to cover shipping. I only suspect if you buy from a re-seller (aka a non-corporate AT&T store but clearly marked 'AT&T') you can exchange or return at a corporate store.

From what I was told by AT&T and a brief conversation with Samsung, the Note II carries a 1 year manufacture's warranty. I don't know the specifics, but assuming there is no abuse or damage of the phone caused by the user, and if the phone does not perform as it should (like mentioned in this thread), Samsung's warranty will cover it with no charge. But realize, unless you have a backup phone, you won't have a phone for 2 weeks! Also, there is a possibility that Samsung may use reconditioned parts, and if they can't fix your phone, you will get a reconditioned model :eek: But what if you have insurance? Then there is a deductible. A possibility of a reconditioned phone too?

Oh, what to do? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willzilla:
What is return period for premier accounts? Is it also 14 days?

my power button just went wonky last night. it used to be somewhat rocky, but it was responsive. now it barely moves. i cant tell if im pressing it or not. it still powers on the phone. but there is no click or comfirming feeling at all. it might as well be capacitive now. about 40 days old.

Hi.

When i use bluetooth tethering from my phone to Nexus 7, i can use most of the apps (facebook, newsreader, browser, etc.). But some of them, like gmail and few news apps, don't recognize that the Nexus is connected to the internet. How can i fix this? Anyone having the same problem?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
There have been many posts about BT tethering and how certain apps don't work with it. I think I saw where people are having problems with Google apps and Play. Some apps just look for wifi or data and will connect, but not transfer data on BT. Only solution for those apps would be a wifi tether as far as I know.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
Its got to be hit or miss with this bluetooth tethering. My gmail works just fine. In fact, I have yet to find an app not working. Streaming Pandora right now too.

I did have issues with a few music apps when I first started to BT tether but fixed those. Those were apps that used, or had an option to use BT. I just installed an app from the store and thats working.

Have you tried to unpair and pair again?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neugroove:
Is there an advantage of tethering via Bluetooth vs wifi? If the battery drain on the phone is slower then I can see a huge advantage.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
i get a better battery life.

In my house, my wi-fi is weak in my bedroom, so I have my old nexus s near the door and that acts kind of like a repeater for bluetooth internet. Cant do that with wifi tethering. (my n7 drops the house wi-fi often)

For streaming music and stuff, my BT does just fine, i get about 1.75mbps up and down so it does pretty good for what I use it for.

At work, I dont have wifi, so i tether with wifi since my phone is on a charger all day. Only reason for this is the N7 will auto connect to my hotspot where BT, i have to go in and check the use as internet option every time I go out of range.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pulka:
Yes...tried unpair and pair and still not working.

The same is happening now that i rooted and tried 3g pen. Gmail app doesn't work also with this
