[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
There is a thread on here someplace - sorry, you'll have to search for it (I don't remember where it is) - but the gist of it is that Windows 8 mandatory requirement of using signed drivers is the root of the problem.

The thread in question details a rather involved method for turning off the signed driver requirements in Windows 8.

An alternative to this approach - which is arguably at least as much effort, if not more - is to use your PC hardware without Windows 8: boot a version of Linux (such as Ubuntu) from a USB key. The same thing could be accomplished from a Linux "Live CD" so long as you keep copies of the Linux versions of fastboot & adb (plus any dynamically-linked shared libs not in the distro as needed) lying around.

(Yes, I realize that suggesting the latter to someone that uttered the word "toolkit" is probably a waste of typing. But the Windows 8 issue is generic to everyone, and others besides the OP may read this post.)

[Edit] See this old post by WugFresh

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33288005&postcount=1368

and possibly a couple posts after it in the same thread. I'm not sure if this is the issue or not, but it is clearly evident that WugFresh has been aware of it for some time.

Is there some reason you are not asking this question in WugFresh's thread?

So, I got the Verizon JB update and it used to be that double-tapping the home button by default opened S-Voice, but you could change it to open any voice actions app you wanted. I use AVX which runs circles around Siri and all the others (including, dare I say it - Google Now - not for getting info by voice but for controlling your phone by voice).

Anyway, since the update it appears double tapping on the home button does nothing and I don't see any way to change this. Am I missing something? Or is this a bug that was never meant to happen? Or did they just decide to take it away for no reason?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hollywoodfrodo:
If anyone's wondering, I haven't found a native solution for this, but the app Home2shortcut will do the trick...

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Dragoboss:

I honestly suggest you to bring your phone to a (Sony) Service Center and have them fix it. It doesn't seem like a regular problem...

[HTC Rezound] simplyvega:
I am looking for some assistance in locating a lost HTC Rezound.

The device was lost earlier this week and was turned on again this evening.

I am monitoring the device via the Verizon Wireless "Check Text Status" online app. https://text.vzw.com/vtext/dashboard/Checkstatus.do

The device was receiving texts this evening, I tried calling it, it was on and receiving!

I have tried a few apps that claim to be installable via the Play store and remotely activate themselves, but I havent had any luck when the device is on. It doesnt look like whomever has the device in hand was uninstalling the apps immediately. I tried: Plan B, Wheres My Droid Lite, and AndroidLost.com.

Does anyone know of some app that actually works?

Thanks for you help in advanced friends!
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
If you report it to Verizon I think they can GPS track it, as well as remotely SIM lock it. I could be totally wrong though, I've never reported a stolen phone.
[HTC Rezound] Morpheus991:
You could try "android lost" and I think they (theis Borg) have another app that helps with remotely locating. If you get it working you can do all sorts of things. Make your phone talk, take pictures using the front and rear camera, etc. Good luck

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidlost

Edit: sorry, I guess your already tried that...there's "androidlost jumpstart"
[HTC Rezound] snowride20:
You really think it's a smart idea to confront whomever stole your device? Here is what I would do:

Step 1: call Verizon and report it stolen.

Step 2: suck it up and call insurance, pay $99 for a refurb.

Step 3: don't lose the phone again.

Glad I could help.
[HTC Rezound] simplyvega:
thanks to those who had positive input!! :)

snowride20: you didnt help btw. i really enjoy though how you think outside the box and how intelligent you are. next time keep your bull**** to yourself lamer.

conclusion:

an app finally reported its gps location via a link to a longitude/latitude google map. after calling the police and filling out a stolen device report, they went with us to the location. the officer knocked on doors and asked questions but was unable to recover the device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hollywoodfrodo:
So, I know everyone loves Jelly Bean - I couldn't wait to get it. And while there are some great things about it, there are also some annoying things. When using Google Voice to Text input it makes that loud "beep" sound to let you know to talk now. Is there anyway to at least lower that sound? I use a voice control app called AVX and when in "wake up mode" (means it's listening for a special command to wake up and take your request) because it's constantly listening using Voice to Text, that beep goes off like every 20 seconds or so. VERY annoying. I'd like to get rid of it altogether or at least lower the volume on it.

Would love a non-root way to do it, but this might also be the thing that finally gets me to root my phone if that's what it takes so all methods suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone has a solution for this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robotila999:
Is "Fota Kill" app. android version or phone model related?

I ask this because I found at least three diferent sizes...(1K, 23K, 29K)

And how to use it - if someone can do that for me, step by step, I am very grateful!

What I want is to keep the 4.0.4 rom - and the notification for OTA update is keep coming...

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadallica:
Check here :)

I really wonder why you wanna stay on 4.0.4 . In my humble opinion, ICS should be dead by now especially on GNex :)

Let us know if there is a specific feature in ICS that you don't wanna miss in JB so hopefully we can help you upgrading and finding that feature for you as well ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robotila999:
I updated my phone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 (OTA) in the day I bought it and for two weeks I have sudden reboots, sleep of death and a lot of other problems. The store replace the phone and recomand me for this new one to keep the rom (4.0.4) as the best for this model. And for now I have more than 50 hours up time and not a single issue. So I realy want to keep this one. But the annoying ota update message popped up every two minutes. So how can I get rid of it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadallica:
I really can't be convinced with what the store told you because sooooo many users have upgraded to JB. Some are facing slower performance on 4.2.1 and they are sticking to 4.1.2 but not for ICS at all. Moreover, if the store replaced the whole phone then maybe that device was defected, so it is not JB because JB is not slower or having troubles compared to ICS especially because of project butter in JB.

My recommendation for you is to give it another try with JB. Try 4.1.2 or 4.2.1 as I found both of them very fine honestly. You will easily find so many threads in this forum to help you make a clean installation instead of using OTA update if you want to change. Personally I never did an OTA update because I like wiping everything and starting fresh with every android version :)

Regarding how to use FOTA Kill, the answer is up there in the thread I mentioned in my previous post so just head there and read the posts then you will find another link to show you how to use the app. Good Luck :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
As you'll need an unlocked device + root for FOTAKill anyway, give the 4.1.2 another try. 4.2.x is kinda buggy ATM, but 4.1.2 really is a good stock ROM. So get a Google stock image and apply FOTAkill there, to avoid 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robotila999:
Thanks for the help! I wait to pass the holidays - in case of something will goes wrong - and I will try to do a clean installation. Until then, is there any method - application or something to get rid of the annoying OTA uppdate message?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
Not without root.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] piefert:
Hi guys, im going on a trip and need a rom with a fast camera. By fast camera i mean a camera.that doesnt take much time to take a photo ( i believe focussing is what takes long on jb).Im currently on jelly bean alpha 2 and i dont think alpha 3's camera is much better (please correct me if I'm wrong). I have been on cm 9 beta 3, i dont remember the camera though. Is it worth it to go back to 2.3.6 gb with value pack? Could anybody recommend me a good 2.3.6 (flashable, no ODIN) rom with value pack? Or an ics/jb if the camera has the same speed.

Sent from Galaxy W with CM10 (thanks to Arco!)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
No rom has a different cam quality than another. But the gingerbread roms have a full GB camera with all it's features, ICS roms have a semi full camera but it works as good as the GB. The JB roms have a camera without all the features and a few bugs.

I prefer ICS roms as they are faster and smoother than GB roms. And the JB Roms are the fastest and smoothest but with a half bad camera.

Press The Thanks Button If I Helped ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] piefert:
Thanks for responding! I am aware of the fact that quality doesn't differ between gb, ics or jb. What i AM looking for is a camera that takes pictures fast. (focussing takes lots of time on jb... :(

Ya that's the gist of it. Boss was given two for switching the business account to at&t. That was about a year ago.

I just opened it up and slammed an old cingular simcard in it and here I am. (Would not work with out it)

Would any of you mind pointing me in the right direction to get the most out of this tablet. I have yet to do any updates to the build. As it sits I still have google market and 3.0.1 android. So it is out of the box stock.

I would like to go ape sh-- with this thing and root it to the max. Maybe change the theme from motorola to mimic the newest tabs. Nexus or samsung galaxy.

But first I must take baby steps. So what's my next move? Root? Ota? Do I need to dig up a previous version to updrade to? To prevent having to possibly down grade to a "golden" version to root from? For the experts milling about on this forum.

If you were in my shoes what would you do? What are my limits? What to look out for? What not to do?

For those looking for cases, these are pics of my just received "i-Blason Clear Hard Snap-on Case for Google Nexus 4 Smart Phone (Crystal Clear)". Snaps on just fine, doesn't protect the top or bottom of the phone, but protects the back and sides just fine. I love knowing it's more protected than naked, but still able to show off the phone in all its glory and shiny back! Yeah, the plastic scratches easily, but how cares. It was just $10, so I might order more just for spares.

I got the case from here: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-SoftGel-Flexible-Frost-Clear/dp/B009Y0ZH6Y
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
Just noticed this case myself on Amazon, which cued me in that the Chinese are finally cranking these long awaited crystal clear cases en masse. Just ordered mine from here for $4: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251200525677?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

$10 is a rip for these cheaply made crystal clear cases that scratch if you so much as look at it sidewise. I am surprised that i-Blason didn't plaster their logo all over the back like they did with their TPU cases, at least there's that.

[Windows 8 General] Droff:
I'm sorry, I don't mean to crap the thread, but where did you find those "amazing personalization Options"? To me, Metro UI is very limiting in terms of personalization. All that it is a background with showcase of apps that you have installed. You can do more even with very strict iOS (after jailbreak), and it is nowhere as flexible as Android or even a standard window 7 desktop (you can still customize win8 that way too and it will be much better showcase). Without any hacks for Metro UI personalization, this thread will be very boring.

And to prove the point, here are couple of examples of win7 desktops (can do the same in win8, not metro) - neither one of those is mine (just found using google):

Just wanted to show you what you're missing and hoping that hacks will come soon to metro UI

Really missing metro-folders, bigger and more informative tiles, tile shape changing etc...
