[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duarian:
I have been playing some games lately on my TV via the HDMI out. Seem to be running out of memory at certain points because everything will crash and I'll only have 75mb available and have to reboot the tablet. Anyone else run into this at all? Nothing is even really running that I can see.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wallace_Brownie:
Does this device's size make it easier or more difficult to type into at lights than smartphones (like the Galaxy Nexus) or smaller tablets (like the Nexus 7)?

Does anyone here mount it to your dash and is your car big or small?

Does not having a sim card have any affect on navigation (yeah I know it has a GPS)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] survivor_evil:
Ive updated to 4.2.1 and everything was improved until i tried the stock browser. One problem is that when tapping the tab button and scrolling between the pages i have open is laggy. Anothe annoyance is that the address bar never hides. It uses too much space. All this wasnt a problem on android 4.1.1. Im using stock 4.2.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bunklung:
Yep. I noticed this too. However, it's smooth if you hold your finger on the screen, no matter how fast. If you flick your finger, lift your finger, and let it scroll, it gets laggy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
I suggest going to settings>labs>enable quick controls. I did not care for these on older versions, but i like it now. It will also hide the status bar.

Yeah but the program sucks. I couldn't get it to recognize my keyboard was attached, and I am not the only one with this complaint from what I have read on forums.

i uninstalled it until MS can get it fixed.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
If you read the app details, they claim that the solution to the problem is to go into the Devices and refresh the list three times. Not even joking.

Whatever. An app would be nice, but I'm perfectly happy to modify the registry, and created .REG files (they're available for download on this forum somewhere) to apply or revert the most interesting changes.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BBlax:
Has anyone experienced this before?

I rooted the phone out of the box but only to find that I needed an OTA update to get the multi window...so I flashed my stock rom and installed all the updates.

Now when I'm trying to flash the phone via odin I get the RQR_CLOSE!! error and it wouln't let me install custom recovery or anything.

So again I flashed the stock rom since multi window was a novelty anyways but now I get the same error even with the stock rom..any ideas? The updates must have done something deep within the system that not even a fresh rom could revert.

The filmware is dbt from germany and it is ALIE before flashing and ALJ3 after all the system updates.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] irishtexmex:
Moot point if you have root access. If you do then you can use the Sixaxis app to not only enable native gamepad support, but create touch profiles that let the controller work with games that don't have any gamepad support.

I'm amazed at the hoops people jump through to get such a developer-centric phone, a phone whose custom ROMs are almost identically as stable as stock, and then post on a forum like XDA... but are still afraid of rooting their phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] espylacopa:
You know, there are other good reasons that people got this phone besides the dev support. The thing is a powerful phone at a killer deal, and should get Google updates hot off the press. I may root my phone, but that's not why I got the Nexus 4, because there are plenty of other phones that can be rooted as well with some really good dev support.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mattrb:
I think this is true of certain people who post on XDA. I believe that if Recovery was more GUI centric then TWRP then it would make people who squirm over the prospect of using a recovery be more inclined to flash roms.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] poopymt3g:
Im with you on this, if youre that worried about it root. Nexus devices are the easiest to root and really damn easy to recover from a mistake. I never really understand what draws people to a developer website only to hear them complain about stock firmware.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Agreed. People don't have the right to complain if they don't do anything about it when the solution is there.

Although I will admit that some people prefer their phones to be stock because they don't have the time to tinker with their phone or are just not tech savvy people. They should stick to more friendly websites like Android Central (no offense)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] djkinetic:
Yea the phone is powerful and is a good deal from the play store, but its a Nexus....the Nexus line has always been Google's developer platform...to showcase Android's open and free nature...for better or worse this Nexus and version of Android has been tailored a bit more to mainstream users, but its still Google's developer device as such its expected that a user will eventually root their device...and yes there are plenty other phones that can be rooted and have good dev support, but theres a reason the Nexus line has the best dev support out there and why custom roms and google updates come to a nexus before other phones...So I say this whats stopping you or anyone from rooting their device, nothing except yourself, its not like it voids the warranty. Thats the beauty of a Nexus device you're free to do what you want with the device and still have peace of mind that if something goes wrong your warranty is still valid (there are limitations of course, like intentional and accidental physical damage, water damage).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
I don't necessarily think that people have to root or flash custom ROMs to enjoy their Nexus devices. I've felt this way since Galaxy Nexus, stock runs really smooth and fast. But of course if you root and flash custom ROM/kernels, the phone will be even better in terms of battery life and speed.

I think at this point, it all comes down to people are afraid to unlock their bootloader and mess with these things. For a first timer, it's definitely scary knowing that you might mess up but the risks of doing so are a lot less, it's easy to avoid by simply taking an hour to sit down and read about the process before they start it. I highly recommend for anyone who are just starting rooting/custom flashing/etc to NOT USE THE TOOLKIT. Yes it looks easy to use, but that's not the point. If you messed something up, will the toolkit have a 1 click button to fix your phone? No. Ultimately, it will lead to those users posting a thread in Q&A about how to fix their phone or mistake their phone for being "bricked" but if they do their research they won't have any problems because they'll know how fastboot will work.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] familiarstranger:
Let's just note this is for BT pads like the wireless PS3. the wired version of the Gameklip will not work w/o OTG as OP asked.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mrbkkt1:
Meh, I don't like to root until after a few months, to get a feel for the stock room first.

At least until after an ota first.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SovereigN7:
I do plan to order the icontrolpad 2 when it does release. I love the ability to play any older games where ever I am and have the clip that can attach easily with analog sticks with buttons. Anyway, since ps3 controllers require root to be compatible over bluetooth, does that apply to any other bluetooth controller?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] narcopolypse:
No. It only applies to the PS3 controllers and WiiMotes. Devices that are designed for android (like MOGA) will work without root.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] otariq:
Do u guys know if the wireless Xbox controllers work? I have that wireless adapter that is used to connect the controller to a PC but if I can plug it into an otg cable would it work with the phone?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] narcopolypse:
That actually does work on most android phones but not the Nexus 4 since it doesn't have OTG.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] intolaomair:
Hi guys,

Im having a weird issue with svoice. Everytime I ask for the weather, svoice just says no weather results, sorry

Any clue as to what could be wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I believe that svoice, along with many other voice apps, will ping your browser for the response que....that said, you may have a browser issue, or an incomplete svoice installation...

you could pull svoice .zip from the SGS3 section, as they have many svoice downloads. Just be sure to use the .zip version, and not the apk itself, as it's not a complete package.

Svoice is nearly 80 meg in size, and if your check your svoice package size, you may see a smaller package meaning an incomplete package.

Also, svoice is touchwiz dependent for it's operation, and if using a non-TW rom, it will not work properly, as you are missing the framework needed to run the APK.........g

Hey guys i know of the imei loss on cm10 and aokp just wondering is it the phone itself? or those roms? and do other roms have the same issue? Jedi Invasion etc.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ih8mydroid:
I've temp lost mine flashing stock roms as well as app and aokp roms. By temp lost I mean I got it back after a simple restart or two. I have flashed many roms and still have never lost my imei completely.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
It seems to be a general problem with ROM flashing, as opposed to any specific ROM - thus, it can happen with any ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y0yerrj0sh:
I thought it might be that and thanks for the reply
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] y0yerrj0sh:
i wish i could flash mine im just too nervous
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ih8mydroid:
Just make a backup with the tutorials. It seems from what I am seeing that the loss of the imei is becoming less of an issue lately. If you do flash and your phone loses your imei try the restart option a few times.

Hey guys, I finally found a kickstand case for the Sprint LG Optimus G

The problem is, that there are no reviews, so if anyone would wanna check it out here is the link:

http://50.17.206.143/product.php?productid=77003

( there are different colors- black, white, green, pink, and blue)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ryocho:
you can get them for around $10 from eBay.

The quality is not looking that great from the pictures (uneven seams on the edge, etc).

But I might bite the bullet and get one anyway, the TPU case I have now is too tight and lifting the edge of the screen protector
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ryocho:
I caved and picked one up from Amazon, will post a review when it gets here.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] swiss_knife77:
I ordered the same case from ebay..should get here today hopefully. If its here ill report back with some shots! :cool:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ryocho:
Just got it today, here's a quick review

The Good

- fits well, won't lift zagg type screen protector

- big cutouts for all the ports/camera (no problem with generic micro usb cable/random huge 3.5mm headphones)

- thick silicone (especially at the corners) offers good protection

- kickstand nicely built, doesn't feel too flimsy, works for both portrait and landscape

The Bad

- pretty big, probably the same size as the otterbox, maybe double the thickness of the phone

- quality is not great (noticeable seams on the silicone part & the plastic outer shell, they don't line up flush to each other)

- the back is kind of ugly (just my opinion, but I don't like the big cutout in the middle or the "V" pattern oh the plastic shell)

Overall

decent case for the price, and only one on the market so far if you want a kickstand. I am fairly happy with the case for now, but will see if something better comes out down the line.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Thanks for your review. I was interested but it didn't look to be of the highest quality. Maybe I'll get something later when my otterbox is older.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] swiss_knife77:
Thanks for the review, and my apologies for not posting mine, luckily the product hasn't reached me yet..thanks to awesome USPS shipping...:mad:. I asked for a refund!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] brwatters:
Never purchase from a Web site with an IP address rather than a domain name.

First clue that you should move onto some other site to purchase from like ebay.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Barshalen:
All websites can be accessed via ip instead of their domain name ( 50.23.216.69/showthread.php?p=35628646 ) . If you replace just the ip address in those urls with daydeal.com it'll take you to the exact same page.

Also, I ordered this case off of ebay (which is btw daydeal.com's eBay store), and for 10 bucks it's not bad at all. Test dropped it, np. It fits perfectly right over the edge of my screen protector so it doesn't peel, and the kickstand works good :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Marty:
I just got this case and pretty impressed with it so far. Other than it is pretty thick (similar to the thickness of an Otterbox Commuter, maybe slightly less but not by much), it seems really well constructed. The silicone fits perfectly with the shell and is heavily reinforced in the corners. I would choose this one over the Otterbox Commuter as it seems to offer just as much protection, feels high quality, and has the added bonus of a kickstand. However, because of this case's increased thickness, I will still likely use the Diztronic as my daily case and this one for times when I go hiking or on other similar activities.
[Acer Iconia A500] jerkwagon:
Ok, here is what i have , I have a IConia a500 rooted with, link for forum and files, using ICS Root

(came with 3.1, ran all the iconia updates, to 4.0)

everything went fine, now... i am familiar with flashing roms, i have had a few android phones and have rooted them, and flashed custom roms on them. that is what i want to do with this, after doing over 4 hrs of reading, I have confused the crap out of myself. there is a lot of talk about things that i dont know much about..

-CPUID's

-ICS recoverys (bootloaders?)

Basically, all i want to do is add the CM Jelly time mod, but im not 100% on how i go abouts that? what do i need? i have the files and gapps, etc., i know i need a full wipe, but what recovery do i use? CWM? do i temp flash it or, pernament? after watching a few videos, i still dont think im ready, i diont want to brick this thing. i just want it to work with that rom. thanks any help and clarity is severly appriciated!

j
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
1. get yr cpuid and save it multiple places open a file explorer and go to /sys/firmware/fuse/acer_cpuid

2. then go to /system and rename/delete recovery-from-boot.p file - this will prevent your custom recovery being overwritten with the stock recovery.

3. have your custom rom on yr ext SD card, ready to flash ONCE you've flashed the unlocked bootloader

4.To flash the v8 bootloader you need to use nvFlash and there are a couple ways if going about that...

a) manually by using the guide in the OP of civato's BL thread

b) using one of the auto tools like afterOTA or apxFlash - links also in that same post...

c) you'll also get to pick a custom recovery and it will be flashed at the same time - cwm 1.7.3 is recommended until you're running stable

d) From yr cpuid - generate yr sbk - how to do that is in the same OP

5) once flashed, boot straight to recovery

6) Do a nandroid backup then the wipes

7) Flash the rom

8) Reboot to recovery and wipe again

9) Job Done!

notes:

Everything you need to do this is in civato's BL OP - sorry can't post the link but its stickied in the Dev Forum

the afterOTA tool,

- saves all yr uid details etc in a txt file

- flashes v3 bootloader -

- it also installs the needed drivers too

- its pretty good at what it does...

seems some are having wifi issues with jellytime but the dev is working on this

you've done the right thing by asking questions before attempting anything, wish everyone was like you:)...if my post isn't clear then please let me know....for those of us used to the way things work with our Acer, its hard to remember how difficult it seemed when we were new!!

good luck

dibb
[Acer Iconia A500] jerkwagon:
ok, thanks !

i have used the afterOTA and it would let me select the recovery i wanted to boot, is this permanent or temp? right now on my phone its the cwm, but i remember on my Nexus S, they recomended just pushing it, that way it was super hard to brick.. basically i just need to know if i need to run the afterOTA tool everytime i wanna boot into recovery? thats why i like my CM 10 for my Galaxy Nexus, i can choose to boot into it,

I think the hardest part of these simple tasks, is that there a 20 steps to something totally new, I used to unlock iphones for a living, I never knew what i was doing exactly, i had a rough idea, but i did know how to cut and paste.:) even going from my NS to GN its always been a few hrs to root/unlock, Being familiar with a lot of the steps, theres more with this tablet! EI, CPUID, APX? tons of warnings! the other things are the abriviations, they can be confusing.. soo

this is the only thing i didnt understand, does the OP dumb it down, or can you??

d) From yr cpuid - generate yr sbk - how to do that is in the same OP

what is sbk, and why do i need it?

thanks again, i really appriciate it!

also, what is a LEAK? leaked rom?
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
no m8, once you've 'flashed' via the tools its permanent -

there are flashable zips around (for recovery) but again, you need the unlocked bootloader first....once you have it then you can flash anything, anyhow you like. Even Acer Recovery Installer will work fine and you can flash a rom from there too, though that may require the paid version from memory.

the only time you will 'lose' the unlocked bootloader/recovery is if you need to rollback to HC - specifically 3.2 -

yeh I'm hearing you - this thread is a perfect example!!! I'd love to be able to say...root it, then flash cwm and the unlocked bootloader IF you want it, lol

Acer locked this baby down tight as - and if it werent for the work done by alot of the devs here, we'd still be stuck on factory stock.....The success these devs had is proved by the fact that there are still so many new folks coming here looking for info and help:)

sbk = secure boot key....as you've discovered 'root' just isnt enough to flash anything...to flash anything you need nvididas nvFlash program PLUS the key to unlock the encryption which is hardwired into the ROM of the memory chip itself -(haahhhaa I think thats right) - The CPUID is unique to every tab (and this too may be hardwired into the chip as well) the sbk is a hex number based on the uid. there are a couple of generators around to do this for you, blackthund3er has one and so does vache....you've used afterOTA so this does the genration for you automatically - you can see it in the text file you saved:)

yeh back in the day before acer released ics, 'someone' got hold of a leaked ics version, and this is where alot of the work was done on unlocking the bootloader...by the time acer got round to releasing ics - we had a more stable version than they ever had:)

So now you're unlocked and rooted, have all your ID's backed up and done a nandroid you can quite happily flash to your hearts content!!!!:good::good::good:

[Acer Iconia A500] jerkwagon:
ok after OTA generated my sbk and all that info, saved it to my computer... how do i unlock the bootloader? i want to install CWM, do i just need to download a file then use the advanced tab?, from cwm im sure i can get around, also, i dont know what apx mode is, ill do some more searching, thanks again.

ok this is really hard to do with windows8, my god, i have to do a lot of running around, i think im just going to give up, now, APX drivers are nto working, fml

had to manualy add the drivers, it was a pain the ass, now its all donw, hopefully i can get it going now!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
s**t. use the last option ics v3.14.8 standard tab

standard tab choose first option...keep an eye on the status bar while its flashing..should not take longer than 10mins.

You must then boot straight to recovery and flash yr rom from yr USB key

don't have to worry bout apx mode but yr tab should display.either Acer apx mode.or Acer download.mode at stage 3 of 4 in tool status bar.

if u.muck.up you'll learn all u ever wanted.to know about apx.mode:p

EDIT: the last option on the Standard Tab

DON'T FLASH THE FIRST ONE!!!!!!!
[Acer Iconia A500] CaptainBlackbeard:
Right, so I just rooted my iconia using this method:

http://theunlockr.com/2012/09/17/how-to-root-the-acer-iconia-a500-tablet/

And then I used this method to install CWM Recovery on it:

http://theunlockr.com/2012/09/17/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-acer-iconia-a500/

However, after I install the recovery image and hit Reboot into recovery, once it loads up to the initial Acer loading screen, the following text appears in the top left-hand corner:

Booting recovery kernel image

Recovery verified failed ...

Then it just stays on that screen until I hold the power button to turn it off.
