[About XDA developers] Crunkzilla:
Fair enough I suppose.

From what I've seen from XDA is that users are above-averagely helpful and thankful towards developers. I figured if a ROM thread that gets hundreds, or even thousands of replies - it is bound to get a good amount of votes or ratings too. And averaging, let's say, 200 ratings should kill off any haters or trolls?

But I agree, I did not think of the negative consequence for the developers, seeing their ROM being underrated or whatever. On the bright side, might also be a motivation though. ;)
[HTC Sensation] CryptKilla:
Hi guys

I am new to sensation and really would like to see your comments and experiance on your used roms.

Which one do you use and why?

I installed one rom fast and it seems fine. But I really would like to see your comments :)

Please give feedback only for actual rom and not outdated ;)

Thank you

I can recommend you the HyperNonSense Rom. Really the best one I used so far.
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
The best Rom is the one you find in the Dev section that you like the most.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi, I highly recommend you try several ROMs out for yourself and see what suits you the best. You are really selling yourself short if you just go by others recommendations, because we all have different likes, dislikes, and needs. I personally run DKOS tweaked version.however you really should try out many and see which suits YOU best

No mate i m nt lazy kinda but i m a bit worried to choose to right one.. if something goes wrong i would end up in bricking the device.. any expert advice is helpful.. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
So, you're not "lazy", just apprehensive. There's nothing wrong with that. However, what we do here on xda isn't to spend time explaining all the pros vs/ cons to all ROMs available, nor is it anyone's assertion as to what the "best" ROM may be -as this is all very subjective to the individual. There's a hefty ROM list of threads in the development section, so it's your responsibility to read over each one (that may strike you as interesting) and make your own assessment to which you may choose.

Also, each ROM thread by our dev team has explicitly detailed installation instructions, so there should be no reason as to why you would run into trouble -so long as you read, re-read, and fully understand what you're getting yourself into.

Also, there's a handy little help thread that I started for any and all questions, problems, etc. So, if you happen to run into anything, feel free to post there. Myself and a few others maintain that thread, so you should expect an answer without the need of posting a new thread each time you have a problem.

Hi

I bought my first ever tablet on 24/11/2012. I was aware that the 4.2 updates was causing problems for many including myself. I updated device as soon as I started up device, as I did not know what the tablet was like before hand when running I could not be sure for definite if it was update that caused it or the tablet was just like that before update. My tablet was not great after the update. I woke up and restarted my tablet to find it would not boot back up and wold not turn on, could not enter boot recovery either. tablet was fully charged and I was using it for 30 minutes beforehand, whilst using it, it kept saying force closure on chrome clock, that's when I decided to restart the device as it kept popping up force closure every 20 seconds roughly, the device seemed bricked even thou I have never rooted it or anything. I got the device replaced immediately today and am not bothering with the 4.2 update until Goole releases a stable update. Because I have not updated the new tablet works like a charm thank god.

Tip: if this happens to your device within 28 days of purchase take it back to store for a refund not replacement. You are entitled to a refund under sales of goods act. Then once you got a refund buy the device again if you want another. reason I say to get refund first is if you just get a replacement your 28 days start from when you bought the first tablet, and won't start from the date you got tablet replaced. Buy getting a refund first then re buy it this way your 28 days start from the date you rebought it from. That way if tablet buggers up again you got 28 days all over again to get a replacement or refund. I did this today so now instead of just 25 days remaining to get refund if I just got a replacement and got a refund then rebought it and now have 28 days to get a refund or replacement. That way of mine does happen again even thou I'm not installing update it still gives me a new 28 day period.
[Nexus 7 General] mazinya:
I also bought my device about a week ago but im still on 4.1. i think i will wait before i apply any update, to make sure things getting stablized with a new version

Edit.. Nevermind.. I'm in a jumping to conclusions bad mood.. Away from the keyboard I go.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
4.2 update won't brick your device. It is a Nexus - just about impossible to brick. You had a problem - but it was not the update.
[Nexus 7 General] tallyforeman:
There are many running 4.2 Builds (Eclipse being one of them) and are having no issues.
[Nexus 7 General] mr23:
Well maybe it wasn't but its possible and wanted to warn others. Whether people update is there choice obviously.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
I concede with approximately three million people updated by now, you could have been the one to find the error in the update.
[Nexus 7 General] X_Fact0r:
Mine is on 4.2 and I haven't had any problem you described. It could have been just that one tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] Kpennett:
Jellybean 4.2 Ruined my Asus nexus 7.

Seriously, just the "one" tablet, get a clue....

Bluetooth, ruined, no stereo anymore. Battery life/charging time, ruined. Lag, lag, lag...

Stupid one sided "fat clock" December missing in contacts event option. some strange keyboard swipe came & went away!

Complete rubbish in this update...
[Nexus 7 General] simms22:
your issue could have been fixed by you, easily. besides that, you didnt have a brick. a brick is when your device either wont power on or wont pass the google screen(and wont do anything else), and cant be fixed. you could have cleared the data for the chrome clock in manage apps(probably would have fixed your issue), you also could have factory reset and manually reupdated the official 4.2 release(without needing root).
[Nexus 7 General] AngeleDei:
The guy you were replying to was talking about the OP's issue which was supposedly a bricked Nexus as a result of upgrading to 4.2. It has nothing to do with the items you mentioned, so I would suggest that he is not the one who needs to "get a clue".
[Nexus 7 General] mr23:
as I stated the device would not turn on at all, no sign of life plugging in charger and unable to boot into recovery to do a factory reset, you obviously did not bother to read my post properly.
[Nexus 7 General] fernando sor:
When did we get a 24th month?
[Nexus 7 General] dilldoe:
well there is no indicator when you plug in the charger. if you hold the power button down for 15 sec, you should be able to reboot. there were many times that I thought my n7 was bricked, but holding down the power button for awhile got it to reboot
[Nexus 7 General] ezas:
THANK YOU. The term brick started with the Linksys routers and a brick was just that, a brick, a paperweight, doorstop, and was a very real possibility (though rare).

Before that PCs would be called anchors or door-stops but those terms were also used for PCs that were beyond any possible usefulness rather than just being beyond repair.

At least say soft-brick.

If you can pull or remove the battery you can leave the battery out for 15 minutes. That can revive a device that has become non responsive.

I dunno is the battery on the N7 soldered in or use a ribbon connector?
[Nexus 7 General] d.chatten:
OP, your device probably wasn't bricked, you need to press the power button for 5>7 seconds and it would of powered on, if for you get the count wrong the Nexus 7 wouldn't power up, this is why you thought it was bricked, in any case, all you needed to do is press and hold the power button for 20>30 seconds and i would of powered on.

In some parts of the world the day comes before the month, the UK > 24/11/2012, US > 11/24/2012.
[Nexus 7 General] mr23:
I held the power button down multiple times for 10, 20 and 30 seconds and it still never came on. Oh well each to there own opinion.

[Nexus 7 General] krips2003:
May be a defect device most likely due to hardware. Other than the some performance issues and some minor ones here and there, I don't think anyone got their device bricked. I hope the new one will be a better experience. Also it'll be informative if you could have mentioned the first four alpha numeric serial number.
[Nexus 7 General] sk102704:
I experienced some major lag and decreased battery life with my N7 after 4.2 but I think you might have a defective N7.

I was able to fix the lag by disabling "Enable Background Sync" in Google Currents. Good luck.
[Nexus 7 General] X_Fact0r:
I said I didn't have any problem the OP described. Did you even read the OP? I'll get a clue after you learn how to read and comprehend what you read properly.
[Nexus 7 General] rubber guard:
which hardware versions are bad/error prone?
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Sounds like the OP had something installed that didn't like 4.2... it could be a launcher or anything that starts automatically. Apex did this when 4.2 came out.

His device wasn't bricked because he claimed he was getting force closes which furthers my suspicions. Apps HAVE to be made compatible with new updates. This is exactly why it is recommended to backup and perform a factory reset upon rom updates if you have problems. 4.2 changed the file structure in for multiuser and lots of apps need updating to recognize this. He also mentioned Sleep of Death where the screen wouldn't turn in.

While the OP probably could have fixed this by doing a factory wipe after updating to 4.2, taking it back is always a good option. But Nexus devices are almost impossible to brick. You can always push files through ADB and get it back up.

Tips for new guys:

Hold Power down for several seconds (20+) to do a forced power off.

If you have lots of force closes, take note of the app and remove it.

Worst case, just backup if possible and factory reset.
[Nexus 7 General] UKpav:
Just change the bloody title of this post to something less dramatic and the *****ing will go away.... you have absolutely no clue what your N7 was like before the update so it can be like a hundred other reasons for it to misbehave but you have made a judgement yourself already so this must be the truth then. Oh yeah... let's warn others. Warning people! Don't update or your tablet will explode after 4.2 ;)

By the way both my GNex and N7 works better, faster and longer after 4.2 both unlocked, rooted with stock kernels and CWM with OTA flashed from zip so don't worry people. If done properly YOU WILL NOT BRICK YOUR N7! PERIOD.

PEACE. And for anyone else with new or almost new N7 that wont power on even after long press. That battery takes some time and a few full charging cycles to behave like it should. Numerous times i have seen it with many devices. If Voltage on the battery drops below certain level the device won't power on or show charging. In some cases leaving it plugged in for a few days will eventually start the charge, in others you will need to keep plugging/unplugging the charger in 5 to 10 sec intervals as this may send enough pulses to the battery to raise the voltage enough to enable normal charging. I normally just take the battery out and charge for half hour on external charger (any old power adapter will do as long as voltage match and you remember about correct polarity). Then back into your device and voila! Nexus 7 is so easy to open.
[Nexus 7 General] fernando sor:
Damn my joke was ruined by my own ignorance
[Nexus 7 General] mr23:
hi,

What does the first four alpha numeric serial number represent ? I guess it some identifier that can help solve problems or something. Could you please explain ?

Thanks!

Tested com.guardian.1.1.34.apk and it works well, swipe and buttons scroll a full screen at a time.

com.guardian.2.2.65 scrolls less than a screen at a time.

Oddly, clicking either app's action icon opens ReadIt which gives a 'cannot parse URL' error.

I'm wondering if there's a way to impose margins on apps? Having them fill the entire screen makes reading and pressing edge icons difficult.

Unofficial app 'Guardian Anywhere' 2.1.7 scrolls less than a screen at a time.

Hmm? Posted 2 days ago

http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/ht...ice-cream-sandwich-works-android-4-ics-28378/

The story behind the HTC Droid Incredible 2 and its Ice Cream Sandwich update that never came is quite long and full of pushbacks and angry letters. In case you’ve followed us during the past few months, you should already be aware of how things unfolded thus far. In a nutshell, the Incredible 2 was supposed to receive the Android 4.0 update, alongside the HTC Thunderbolt, by the end of August. That obviously didn’t happen and the roll-out has been pushed back indefinitely.

Better Link (Not sure how I missed this on the DL)

I do hate to be a Negative-Nancy, but I call B.S.

It's like the cheating BF/GF. Lies don't stop. It is a habit of misleading. Key word is habit.

This subject is a very sore one for me. I think ALL Android should be open source. I thought that was the point, and what made Android better than the rest.

What it comes down to is, I will believe it when I see it.

Though this did rile me up again enough that I will be writing to HTC again. Probably at least, but not only on their Facebook page.

As always, I encourage you to do the same. Squeeky wheel gets the grease, y'know.

Nice? Really? Nice should have been out the window the moment they passed their already ridiculously late deadline. ICS came out over a year ago and those clowns are still "working on it"? HTC clearly doesn't care about their customers so I don't see how politely asking them to do something is going to amount to anything I am glad they're experiencing record losses I'll never buy another one of their products. It's easier to pass the buck than it is to actually care about your customers and put in some work this update will never be released because neither party really cares.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
ICS

I think that as soon as the "connectivity issues" (WiFi Tether Lockdown) are finally coded in we will see ICS for the DInc II.

That's what we got with the Spectrum.

It's more for the grandfathered unlimited customers, motivation to switch to the "Gimi What You Got", VomitRizen shakedown.

Ever since the "Paid Off" FCC allowed these cheeswads to fleece the public with tiered data plans they are chocking us on it...

It is probably a better deal for those who yak for hours and text up the **s.

But for me, the $60.00 a month increase for my 5 family members to have emergency communication, is just plain cruel.

As much as it hurts, I will have to kick out the lines one at a time.

Same thing they've been saying since the end of August.

And if phone companies (HTC, Samsung, lg, etc) would stop releasing a new phone every 3 months when most people are on 2 year contracts and update the phones that people still use we wouldn't be hear. The galaxy note 2 is already out and it feels like the note 1 JUST came out. That's a bit ridiculous in my opinion lol.

That's how profit is made tho. Releasing a newer phone to get people to jump to the latest and greatest so that's why they tue them down to a 2 year because slot of people just wanna be on the greatest I know a lot switching from the s3 to dna or note 2 its all based on making money
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brokenchains:
Sounds good in theory to only release a new phone every 2 years but not everyone's contracts begin and end at the same time. Also like the post above me mentioned some people are willing to shell out for the latest and greatest, and others might just have monthly plans.

ETF and grandfathered unlimited is enough for me to stick with my phone for a while though :)

Waiting for an official ICS (and JB) upgrade is even more necessary in India. We are all using grey imports.

So what happens to a rooted phone when an OTA update like ICS comes along? Does it just automatically wipe everything from the phone and un root?
