Hi!

USB Port issues

So I'm having a weird issue that just started to happen recently with my rooted, stock rom, Nexus 7. I've been wanting to start using a usb otg cable for the device, especially when I travel, so I purchased two off of Amazon. I tried both of them to no avail. The nexus recognized an otg cable was attached but never detected the device. I tried stick mount, usb host diagnostics, otg troubleshooter- nothing could detect the devices.

So I got one of the cables recommended in one of the threads here from monoprice. Still it wouldn't detect any devices. I had decided maybe there was something weird going on software wise with the tablet so I wanted to do a complete factory reset and clean factory image. When I plugged my tablet into my computer I got a USB Power Surge at USB Port error. I tried different usb cables, different ports, and still got the error. (Note: when I tried plugging in different devices to the usb ports I never got the error). So because of the power surge error the computer wasn't recognizing the tablet.

I went to charge the tablet last night with my wall charger, and it wasn't charging when I plugged in the cable to the tablet. I noticed it felt a little loose, so after some jury rigging I was able to get it to stay in place and the tablet charged.

I'm wondering if all three of these things might be correlated and maybe somehow one of the usb otg cables I bought cause the port to get bent or damaged it somehow? I bought a replacement port off of ebay this morning- hoping that it is the case. Has anyone ever seen these problems before with an otg cable causing usb port issues? Or could the port just be going bad?

I'm hoping that it is that and not some other major hardware issue.

I have two Nexus 7's, a 2012 wifi only version and a 2013 LTE version.

I unlocked and rooted the 2013 N7 with no problems using wugfresh's toolkit.

Can't get the 2012 N7 to unlock, spent a lot of time trying. Installed what ought to be the proper drivers, no joy.

I don't know if my problem is the MTP thing or it might be the fact that this 2012 N7 has been updated to KOT49H.

Perhaps trying to get working drivers for such an old device running a much newer OS is a problem.

Been spending so much time on this I'm getting a little stale mentally, and I'm looking for a little inspiration.

What should I try next?

Google Acc not connecting after usb port got broken?

Hi there. I have N7 3G (4.2.2 original, rooted, locked bootloader before all incidents) and with it I had no trouble just before it fell on it's usb connector while charging. It could charge\connect to pc but stopped to do that after 2 weeks. Repairers took my 20$ just to get it charging with words "it was too hard to fix all circuits without replacing board". I wasn't ok with it but whatever. After about 4-5 days I've started to have problems with connecting to play market - "connection timed out". Today I was like "dayum, I need to update few apps". Installed 4.3 which I had dl'ed pretty long ago -> rooted apps dead (ok), play market crashes on launch (not ok). Factory reset -> Wi-Fi in tray is gray colored, and now it can't connect my google account, play market crashes, HTTPS sites are working though. Whats going on with my tablet?

TL;DR: Google Acc not connecting after usb port got broken + updated 4.2.2 rooted -> 4.3 with factory reset after?

Screen issue to report here.

I have been using a nexus7 2012 model I got on April 2013.

I use it with care, but lately I have started noticing white lines on my display very strange. can only spot it visible in holo settings of the system. I have no idea how it started. I will attached some pics below, is it a known issue. Is it possible for me to RMA.

USB/OTG problem

I have an usb related problem with my Nexus 7. My Nexus won't charge any more, not via an charger nor the computer, although the data connection works fine. I can only charge via the POGO pins.

Also when I connect an otg-cable the nexus thinks it's charging while the other end of the cable isn't connected to anything.

Things I've already tried:

- Use different adapters

- The "power trick"

- Installing different Rom's and kernels

I think it's hardware related, so I might have to replace the usb i/o assembly.But it's a bit expensive, so I would like some advice first.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAtheistReverend:
That looks like color banding to me. Are you rooted with a custom ROM and or kernel? I see the same thing around the Facebook logo when I boot the app. I don't think it is anything to worry about, just an annoyance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, AhmedFaiz...

It's always a bit tricky judging these things from screenshots, but the white lines you refer to, seem to be an example of

color banding

... and I think it's a known issue with the Android Holo theme.

Some Custom ROMs/themes and 'mod's provide a means of eradicating the problem by changing the theme.. For example, in GravityBox (an xPosed Framework module; see links in my sig), there is this option...

Dithered Holo background - Replaces standard Holo background with dithered one to suppress color banding.

Of course, it's possible it may well be a hardware/screen issue... in which case, try running one of the many screentest/testcard apps available on Google Playstore. These will run the screen through a variety of colors, and gradations in both portrait and landscape mode. If the problem persists, then **maybe** it's a hardware problem.

But looking at your screenshots, I just think it's a peculiar artifact of the Android holo theme that perhaps you've just never noticed before.

Anyway, Google 'Android holo gradient color banding' or some similar variation... and you'll see it's a commonly reported problem.

Hope this helps.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhmedFaiz:
Thanks for the detailed info. I think it's hardware issue in that pic its not seen properly I think. I did flash few Roms always on PA. But tried stock too. The white lines look static doesn't move but it only visible in holo backgrounds and few apps. I have just got a mail to RMA it. Waiting for it to pick up soon. Need to flash back to stock and lock the bootloader set it ready to pack back.

Will keep it posted here.

Thanks anyway.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
No problem, AhmedFaiz... glad to help.

If the lines are static, and don't rotate with the screen (portrait to landscape, and back again), then it does sound like a screen hardware issue... unfortunately:(.

Odd it only appears on holo backgrounds, though:confused:.

Anyway, good luck with the RMA... and hope you get it all sorted soon:).

Rgrds,

beim ersten einschalten kam eine meldung das ein update zur installation bereit stehen würde. hab darauf getippt und dann fingen meine probleme an. da kamen ein haufen meldungen usw, danach wurde es neu gestartet und es ging nichts mehr. beim google schriftzug bleibt es hängen. seit drei tagen versuche ich via google und diversen toolkits es wieder zu richten, allerdings hab ich jetzt soviel dran rumgespielt (also am tablett) das jetzt alles gelöscht ist und nichts mehr auf dem nexus drauf ist. nichtmal mehr ein os. fragt mich bitte nicht wie ich das in meinem wahn angerichtet habe.

jetzt habe ich die totale verzweiflung und weiß nicht mehr was ich machen soll. kann ich da noch was retten oder muss ich das nexus in die tonne treten.

hier mal was im bootloader oder wie das heißt steht:

fastboot mode

product name - tilapia

variant - tilapia

hw version - pr

bootloader version - 4.23

baseband version - 1231_0.18.0_0409

signing - not defined yet

I was wondering whether it's possible to share files between the different users of the same N7? For instance to make video or music files available regardless of who is logged in.

I don't seem to be able to find anyone even discussing this anywhere at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flyingdutchman99:
Hello there,

First, what do you mean by Quick toggle settings? You mean where to customize them? Because you can't do that within stock settings. However, you can install Xposed and change it. You'll have to be rooted for that, though.

Second, these pixels, do they appear only 2 seconds or so and then go away, or do they stay? With my N7, it shows pixels too, but they go away almost immediately. They do not shot every time, but sometimes.

I have a question about TWRP. I just picked up a N7 grouper (2012) 16GB. So far I have unlocked the bootloader, Rooted, flashed TWRP, and Flashed the AICP Rom. Everything is running great.

My question is:

When I choose to mount in TWRP, I choose to mount my internal memory (virtual SD) and there is no button or slider to mount. On my phone I do this all the time to move files back and forth. I'm sure the experience out there knows the possible ramifications of that. I searched these forums but I didn't see any answer to this.

Any ideas?

Edit - I forgot to mention, the N7 connects fine to windows 8 and I'm able to transfer files while connected with the Rom booted up. This occurs only in TWRP. I can also browse the file system and flash files stored on the internal memory.

Last Edit - Searched all day and I've come to the conclusion based on what I read that you can't mount the internal memory while in Recovery unless you are running linux because this device uses MTP USB protocol. After working with several phone models this seems like a design flaw to me and doesn't leave much room for error for windows users. Should you wipe your system and accidentally wipe the internal storage with it, I suppose you could flash a few things in bootloader mode.

Unless someone has updated info, I consider this case closed for now.

Hello

I have a Nexus 7 wifi 2012. Unfortunately I think the USB port of my device is defective. Therefore, when I connect it to my PC and a continuous Connect / disconnect. Since N7 has root permissions, I can not bring it to service because of the root. I tried to play with an app store "Universal unroot", but unfortunately it does not work. When I go into Download Mode is still written "Unlocked". Any advice?

Edit: I forgot;

After trying the app "Universal Unroot" SuperSu took off. So I suppose that there is a root?

So why if I'm still in Download Mode is always "Unlocked"?

Thank you.

It means your device bootloader is unlocked.

The only way to relock it is with fastboot.

But unfortunately the Micro USB port of my devices and defective. As a result my PC can not read because the connection and unstable. I know that to lock the bootloader you can do it via fastboot.

The old Nexus 7 is rather easy to open, why don't you order the replacement part with the USB port and replace it yourself.

But either way, I have send in my old nexus 7 for RMA because it didn't charge properly, had the same problem like you (not able to transfer stuff over USB) but since it was not a software problem, I didn't really see why they shouldn't replace it and they did (got new device from the looks of it).

In fact, that's what I wonder? Since it is a problem of the MicroUSB port should not mess with me, right? But it is not mine I do not want the devices to more damage than they already are. So I'd prefer to send him assistance since it is still under warranty. To the question OTA know something?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Hi I have a few bugs since updating to 4.4.2 and just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing these. On the whole the update was great and everything was a lot smoother, etc but I still have the pink flash/graphics glitch on boot (i think its just after the Google logo, before the nexus animation). Theres also an animation glitche/freeze in the lockscreen, when waking the device and rotating, you get half a landscape clock/half a portrait clock screen for a second or two. When switching users theres a small line of pixel glitching along the top of the screen. I have also found when watching videos and some games, in landscape orientation, after a while (around 5-10 mins) the screen will rotate back as if the back button has been pressed or the screen rotated. The other issue I have is when pressing the back button out of apps it will often jump back to another app, as if I have opened as a task from that app, when I actually havent and want to go back to home.

The other issue I have had that is a bit more serious is a full freeze, which has happened a few times in the last couple of months, its happens pretty randomly (dont think its a particular app to blame) and can only resolve by popping the back cover off and disconnecting the battery.

Overall they generally aren't major issues, but just niggling as everything else is working so well. I have N7 Wifi and am rooted and bootloader unlocked from day 1, but haven't ever installed a custom ROM, just ran rooted stock and updated using flashable zips created from the OTA files. I had installed a custom kernel but changed back to stock also, but other than that I don't do a lot of modding with it.
