Not sure why you think that, but OK.

Of course quality control affects price. QC can be very labor intensive($$$), from just auditing the boards and components at various levels of production, to scrap (throwing away defective product $$$) or rework (labor intensive $$$) of product with defects. I speak from experience here. No doubt QC suffered in order to offer the Nexus 4 at this price. Of course, it probably didn't suffer as much as it might have from other manufactures, as Google does not have to make money on the device itself as they can rake in the money from the Play store.

I mean, I love that I am able to purchase such a high end device for $299/349, but I think we really have to worry about what this will do to the rest of the Android ecosystem. Amazon has already been putting the hurt on everybody (other than Apple) in the tablet market with their Fire tablets (again, they can make money from the Amazon app store, and other content), and now Google is putting the Squeeze on everybody else with the Nexus 4, the Nexus 7, and the Nexus 10.

Competition is good for everybody, but if only Apple, Amazon and Google can make money due to owning the content stores, then that's a bad omen for the industry IMHO. But I digress.

You know I see everyone blaming Google when Google didn't make the hardware. They only did the software. I saw this coming when then announced LG was the hardware OEM. They have never been known for outstanding hardware.

Google was the supervisor of the whole project. Google selected LG. If you think the phone is perfect, Google deserves most of the credit. If you think it sucks, Google deserves much of the blame.

Have you tried charging it on a pc?

Plug it into USB port of computer and leave for half hour.

This happens on a few android devices when fully discharged and pc charging is the only way to do it sometimes.
[Nexus 4 General] Rspeters:
I've got an rma out for mine for a similar issue, there's a black squiggly line going across my camera lens...seems like it's probably stuck between my camera lens and the glass. Not a huge deal, but definitely an annoyance to have to send it back, especially after unlocking and rooting it.
[Nexus 4 General] icy_virtuoso6:
I'm inclined to believe that offering these Nexus devices at such a low price has resulted in quality control going out the window, as well as warranty. The Nexus 4 seems to have a lot of issues and the Nexus 7 has had its fair share as well.

I had a Nexus 7 and the first one I got had a washed out screen and the well known screen lift on the left side so I exchanged it and my second one only had screen lift as well but to a much lesser degree so I kept it. A couple months go by and I go to pick it up off my table, placing my thumb on that left side and the screen cracked from one side to the other, leaving the top portion unresponsive to touch. I called up both ASUS and Google and neither would do anything about it.

That experience and what I'm seeing here about the Nexus 4 has resulted in me losing faith in Nexus devices, which sucks because I loved the Galaxy Nexus and was really looking forward to this year's Nexus phone.
[Nexus 4 General] phositadc:
Agree completely. My nexus 7 had screen lift issues but I didn't care enough to RMA. Maybe I should have, though, because it completely died while charging last week, and now I have no choice but to RMA.

I was flashing back to original 1.4.3 rom and it finished install rebooted twice and then message came up saying the battery was to low to boot please try in 15 mins.

I plugged in the the wall outlet with the nook color charger and then it booted up and got to the "N" screen. Then it suddenly powered back off and now its not coming on at all.No screen flash nothing, so i began research on what may have happened. After coming across recovery topics i have everything i need to do to fix it.... i think I may messed up the partitions or something.

I started over made my boot sd recovery following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1759558

however when i connect it to the pc nothing happens just acts like im connecting it and disconnecting it. The error i am getting for driver is about OAMP3630 cant seem to find out how to fix it. The nook color gives no response what so ever. The N on my power cable is green.

I was also looking at doing this possibly.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Ever since 4.1 I've had a super long boot time. Luckily I don't have to reset often but when I do... it takes like 5-10 minutes.

I flashed a new bootloader on my Verizon variety but it seems not to do much. This still an issue or is there a fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
4.1 has a long boot up time due to the system scanning your file system to make sure there's no problems. 4.2 no longer does that. It was only with 4.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cat_patrol:
Right, some roms are quicker than others and many have the long boot on initial boot but goes much quicker from there on. Sourcery 4.1.2 seems to boot pretty quick other than that first boot after installing an update or restoring a nandroid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I'm talking about EVERY boot. I'm running PA on my N7 but it never had any boot delays on any version. I'm planning on upgrading my GN eventually but I have a super sweet setup right now running Xenon 4.1.2.

Xenon was the only 4.1 that gave me superb battery life. Its 4.2 rom, battery seems to be a problem.

Good to know 4.2 boots normal. I mean 5-10 minutes each boot (not initial) is a pain. That's a really good reason to make the switch. I also really like PAs 4.2 tablet mode features.

i am running Pa also and it boots up quit fast so I don't think it has somethinh to do with you're rom

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvivEliyahu:
Currently i have VK ROM (based on 4.1.2 leak) but got tired of those samsung based ROMs and choose to go back to AOKP/AOSP ROMs like CM 10.

Ive seen that there is a "regular" version and another one named nightly. whats the difference between the two?which one is more stable/giving better battery life?

also,if you have it i would like to recommand me on speciefic version (like,the build's release date) and with which kernel it worked better.

(recommanding other combination of ROMs and kernel will be good as well)

thank you! :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
By "regular" i think you are referring to "stable" releases, as it implies stable releases are having the lowest or no bugs in the entire release cycle. The nightlies are having high chance of major bugs and issues and is not recommended for daily use.

This link will give you everything you need

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide

Also I recommend the stable version for downloading from the rom download list

There are two 7.2.0(Gingerbread) and 9.1.0(Ice Cream Sandwich) as stable releases.

There are several good roms based on CM10 (which currently has only nightlies) like ReVolt, Resurrection Remix(which are stable).

Using GT - I9100

I thank those who give helpful comments

I expect the same from others.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
When I get the message up in the notification area that "Updates are available".

It seems to display something along the lines of "Updates are available &amp&n&p".

Or something along those lines. What the hell is the rubbish after available all about? It's driving me nuts.

And it doesn't take much to drive me nuts let me tell you :)

Between the update message weirdness and the Unfortunately gaaps has stopped crap whenever I boot back up etc. Arghh. And don't get me started on the remote restore function using ADB which doesn't seem to work anymore since the latest update.

OK rant over:) But seriously. What's up with the "Updates are available" message?

I did perform a factory reset BTW. Which is when I found out remote restore seems to be broken.

Cheers :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it means that you have some apps that have updates available in the play store. you can turn off the notification in the play store settings, then they wont bug you.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
I knew what the message meant :) I just don't know what the rest of the gobbledygook is after the word available.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just that, gobbledygook :silly:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
How do you have a device with a simple native way to take a screen shot.. And not post one as an example of the "gobbledygook" in question for us to look at?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
when you did the factory reset.. Did you do this in custom recovery or in settings on the tablet.. Are you stock ?

Did you use anything to restore your apps such as ti backup adb restore (does not always work).

If you are on a custom rom or have been in the past.. I would suggest you do a FULL Format of your tablet system cache dalvic DATA and all...reboot the tab back into recovery adb push stock new downloaded rom to tab or use usb otg and flash brand new rom... Then see if you still have issues.. DO NOT RESTORE A BACKUP you could be putting the issues back on device..

The way the NO SD Card devices use data. you can have issues linger from a older rom or pop up after flashing.

Be CAUTIOUS ABOUT DELETING DATA ON This device. IT WILL WIPE A DOWNLOADED ROM.. and otg storage with twrp or adb push will be required to get a rom back on device to flash..

Good Luck..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
No mate. Just on rooted stock.

I initiated the restore from within settings I believe.

I did two backups originally just in case.

One from ADB and one from My Backup Pro.

It backed up fine using ADB. When restoring it, I had the initial quick reboot. Then when I had the restore my data screen on the Nexus, I hit the Restore button and the Nexus rebooted back to the home screen.

The PC restore was running, but nothing got restored.

I then gave up and restored using My Backup Pro.

But after restoring everything. I keep getting the Gaaps has stopped message.

So time to backup my games and wipe again in the future.

I'll then restore everything else direct from the Play Store, to hopefully get rid off the Google Apps problem.

As for the weird symbols after the Updates are available message, they have been there since 4.2.1 though.

Looks like I'm putting up with this.

I'll grab it on a screen grab eventually :)

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
It does sound like there is something in your backups that is stopping them from restoring.. Make sure when you restore a backup you are restoring APPS AND APP DATA ONLY.. not system data and system apps.. Such as google apps being system apps.. This often restores old data on top new and causes big issues. With the fcs really sounds like this is the case..

I Think a Good WIPE and Fresh flash will help you out...

Good Luck ..

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicko1975:
OK, just to add to this, I saw exactly this "updates available amp&n&p" notification this evening . . . . but on my HTC One X, which is stock, unrooted.

The apps updating are: -

ConvertPad

HDWidgets

SoundHound

WhatsApp

Facebook

Doubt its related, but the WhatsApp update bugged out. That was probably my 3g connection though, which is patchy round here.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
Cheers.

I have a feeling this is a bug with Play Store.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
Thanks for that.

That's what I'll be doing mate.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
It seems my suspicions were correct concerning the &amp&anp or whatever it is that gets displayed at the end of the Updates are available message you get in the notifications are from the Play Store.

I noticed that my Samsung Galaxy S3 is showing the same thing.

It's gotta be a Play Store bug.

Because my S3 is running 4.11 and my Nexus 7 is running 4.2.1.

It almost looks like variables not getting parsed correctly.

As this only happens when there is more than one update available it seems.

And both my devices are on different versions of Jelly Bean.

And I still can't grab the screen fast enough. As you never know when the updates notifications from the Play Store will appear.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Why are the notifications not staying in the drop down?

Do you have the market Set to auto update, otherwise I have to hit the notification in order to open the store.

Unless you aren't talking about the notification area but the the ticker in the status bar up top?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
I'm talking about the notification area top left.

Its the message you get in the notification area when Play Store tells you updates are available to apps you have installed.

Anyway, I managed to grab it.

Top left of the image.

I worked out finally how to get it to show on command.

Clear the data of Google play Store, then launch the store.

If there is updates it shows the notification.

Gotta be a Play Store bug.

Almost forgot.

When you pull down the notification pulldown, the Play Store message is showing normally.

For instance, it shows 2 new updates.

Facebook,YouTube.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
I don't see how both of your devices are doing that... But no one else's on androids is.

If it was a bug in the play store... We'd all get it.

Are you running custom roms on both and using that same gapps package?

Btw, for Clarity's sake, that Area is called the status bar.

Notifications area is in that Pull down.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
No, both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7 are on stock.

Rooted but otherwise untouched.

I saw another post on here earlier where a guy is getting it on his HTC One X.

If there is only one app that has an update, then it displays fine in the status bar. If there is more than one I get what's in my grab.

Did a factory reset on my Nexus 7 and it's still there.

I knew I had a few updates available for my S3. So I just stopped the Play Store and cleared the cache.

I loaded the Play Store, again to trigger the update message.

Sure enough it was there.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
Just had this from Google.

Thanks for contacting us - just to reassure you, you're correct. Those specific variables are just the*coding*to turn the icons into text.

No reason as to why it's doing it though.

Glad it wasn't just my imagination though. Thought I was going crazy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBalledOX:
Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Note 2 when connected to my Sync system in my Lincoln MKS. I'm able to pair successfully, stream music, make phone calls and it works just the way it should, but when I try to choose the text message option I receive an error message stating that "Text messaging is not supported on the phone currently connected by Bluetooth." Well, ok . . . except it is. I know the phone has the correct blue tooth profile on it to allow SMS to be displayed on Sync, and I know Sync has worked correctly before because it worked perfectly with my Droid RAZR MAXX. I really miss this feature, it's not the end of the world but it's really aggravating that this phone has the necessary profile, Sync has worked correctly in the past (I'm pretty sure it's up to date, that's the one thing I'm still needing to confirm but I would think that if it worked with the RAZR it would work with the Note 2) and yet here I am with no capability of texting. I contacted both Samsung and Ford even though I really look at this as a Samsung issue, and both were useless, though Ford didn't suggest I hard reset my phone (and I still don't know why I humored Samsung on that anyways) but if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wool02:
FWIW the text feature didn't work on the Galaxy Nexus either. This points to an issue on the Samsung end. Hopefully it's not a hardware limitation on the Note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBalledOX:
Ugh, that's annoying, I wasn't aware of that. It's just so strange because all the pieces are in place - Sync requires MAP, the bluetooth profile loaded on to the Note 2 includes MAP - but clearly something is putting a stop to it. This is the only negative I've found about the phone so far and it's not worth returning it over, but man is it annoying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] suzook:
I have a 2012 explorer with sync. Messages work fine. Delete the phone on sync....re add it. Make sure you allow all requests from sync on your phone when it reayncs the first time. Trust me.. it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBalledOX:
Yeah, no, it really doesn't. The only request I get from Sync during the pairing process is for phone book and call history. I've unpaired and re-paired the phone multiple times to no avail. Glad it works for you, but "trust me," it doesn't for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] suzook:
Blame it on "wonderful" sync.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBalledOX:
Holy **** son, are you dumb? Let me spell it out for you since it seems difficult for you to understand.

SYNC WORK GOOD WITH DROID RAZR. SHOW TEXT MESSAGES. GOOD TIMES.

SYNC NO WORK GOOD WITH NOTE 2. NO SHOW TEXT MESSAGES. BAD TIMES.

"Wonderful Sync" appears to be doing just fine, thanks. If you don't have anything to contribute to actually fixing my problem, stop responding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] breakerfall:
Lol, whoa... settle down.

Works for me in my 2012 Focus.

Worked on my Galaxy S3, too, when I ran it stock.

Also, it wouldn't have worked on a stock Galaxy Nexus because MAP is not part of AOSP. Some ROMS did have it built in, though.

Have you tried a Reset on SYNC?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wool02:
I wasnt running a stock GNex.

Trying to find helpful information on the SYNC side is frustrating. MyFordTouch vs SYNC with navigation vs plain SYNC. Then throw in the different software versions for each hardware version and on top of that trying to decipher which ones are capable of a software upgrade.

Maybe Samsung and Ford finally collaborated on the 2012 models? My F150 is a 2011.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bgmikejr:
Check out this link http://www.ford.com/technology/sync/#check-compatibility as it will have the compatible phones for each sync system. I understand you have everything setup properly and its not working but its my understanding if the phone isn't listed on the compatibility list then more than likely it wont work. I would also check online once this phone gets a little bit older in age to see if Ford updates sync to be compatible with this phone and a lot of other new ones that have been released. Hope this helps :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBalledOX:
Sorry but that other dude was just annoying me and not helping me in the least. It's fine to not know the answer, but just admit to it and/or don't post, preferably the latter. Unless you have the same car and phone, what worked for you is completely irrelevant to what will work for me. You at least have a suggestion, too bad it didn't work.

Yeah, I don't think of this as a Ford issue but they are making it unnecessarily difficult to rule them out. I have a 2010 Lincoln MKS, picked it up in June, and there's no way short of taking it to a dealer to know if Sync is up to date or not. Fortunately (uh, I guess . . . ) for me I discovered a pretty nasty transfer case leak when changing the oil the other day, so the big girl is heading to the dealer on Monday to get that sorted out and I'm just gonna have them make sure she's all up to date on Sync, TSB's, have them figure out why I get these intermittent squeaks from the stereo, just get her all in good shape. For the record, here's the facts I am certain of:

FACT: I have a 2010 Lincoln MKS with Sync in it.

FACT: My previous phone was a Droid RAZR MAXX.

FACT: When the RAZR MAXX was connected to Sync, the text message feature worked perfectly.

FACT: My current phone is a Galaxy Note 2.

FACT: I am able to connect my Note 2 to my Sync without issue and am able to make phone calls and stream Google Music over it.

FACT: Here is what I see when I choose text messaging on the screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] suzook:
It works just fine on my SYNC....GFY! I was trying to help, and did offer a suggestion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBalledOX:
I figured I'd go ahead and bump this and see if anyone had any thoughts on this issues three months later. I've even rooted and ROM'd the phone hoping I'd find support from the aftermarket but Clean Rom, Eclipse and Cyanogen are all no joy.
