I have Ethernet up and running on my nexus 7 but can't seem to on my S3. I bought a different otg cable specific to the s3, but the Ethernet adapter just doesn't want to play ball. Is this even possible on an s3? If so, has anyone got it working, and using what adapter?

I notice that since the update to the latest VRBLK3 Jelly Bean update a number of the games and applications that requires high grade image reproduction seems to experience a video corruption bug.

I have search many areas to see if this was a known issue and if a solution was found but I only seen it being reporting by a few users, this issue appeared on all the leaked builds on the 4.1.1 update and I thought maybe it was because of the leak being uncompleted but now since the official build is available and this bug still seem to be present....

Anyone know a solution?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UssjTrunks:
This is my first attempt at rooting. The device is a Nexus S (original edition), I just wanted the warranty to expire before I dabbled in this.

So, which method is the best/most current? I've found a lot of tutorials, but I haven't been keeping up to know what the best one is right now.

I'm also still on Gingerbread. Do I need to update to ICS/JB before I root? I plan on running a custom ROM (CM10) on the phone so I'm guessing I don't need to worry about what version I have when I root?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seibott:
• Unlock bootloader

• Flash clockwork recovery

• Flash any Rom that you want.

• Flash gapps, enjoy.

That's just a crude way of saying it but you get the idea.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirt:
This is basically my preference, too. Make sure you use superuser or supersu (my personal preference) for jb.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodem77:
You don't need to update to JB to root but in my opinion you need to update to have a better battery life and to have all new features of JB (butter etc) anyway if you want to use CM10 consider that a lot of custom rom already have root by default.

Consider that you don't need to root to flash a rom, you need root to use root app when you already are in android, so if your purpose is just to flash a new rom, follow the seibott indications without think on how to root.

To flash a rom usually you need just to unlock bootloader and flash a costom recovery, anyway you can find a guide in every rom threads.

Anyway if you want a tool that help you to install driver, flash a partition, root, or just use a temporary custom recovery whitout flash if (for example with this toolkit you can unlock your bootloader, restart your phone in temporary cwm or twrp, flash superuser/supersu to root and come back to your custom recovery rooted and without other modifications) you can read these threads:

There is NO specific language Android is coded in. Example:

There are also some langs eg smali specific to android so they are sort of encrypted java codes.. ( i havent seen smali before I got this phone)

So to sum it up... There is no specific language it is based on. Its a mixture of lot of coding languages.

If you're having issues with GPS not locking after upgrading to CM10.1 from CM10 goto Manage Apps -> Google Services Framework and then Clear Data. Then reboot and everything should be fine! I don't know if this needs to be done going from Touchwiz -> CM10.1, but it doesn't seem to hurt anything.

I hate to resurrect a "fixed" topic (don't know if that's better or worse than starting a new one for the same issue...)... but this didn't work for me.

I found google services framework and cleared the data, then rebooted. My phone sees several GPS satellites, but refuses to connect to any of them.

I was on the official 10.1 release, then updated to the recent 10.1.2 security update, then installed the latest nightly... No changes between any release; I haven't had a solid GPS lock since I switched to CM 10.1 stable nightlies.

Is there really no other fix, or no other person who is still having trouble after these instructions? This is literally the only solution I can find on all of the internets.

GPS ON - no sattelite

Hallo,

at first :

CM 10.1 by owl project looks very good. Respect

But

I have Wildfire s and everything works properly besides GPS. I have any signal and GPS status app from Google play is finding satellites for a long time and result is any satellite.

My device spec.:

CWM 5.2.0.8, Hboot 1.09.0099, Radio : 7.57.39.10M

CM 10.1 on Android 4.2.2 with expand RAM to 2GB (INT2EXT) + overclocking (245-787Mhz)

Where is problem - maybe radio have to be downgraded or updated. It is possible? Does anyone have the same problem?

Than you for your help and advice?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] foxpyc:
Solution :)

Hallo, i found solution and i tried it and result : Bravo - GPS is function :)

You have to try it too:

1>Backup your ROM (if you want - i backup my app using Titanium backup), then flash a ROM where GPS did work, activate GPS and start any GPS app (like Google maps). I used GPS status and Fix GPS from Google Play

2>Let it get a fix on your position and wait for a few minutes. (in my case twenty minutes) Then restore your ROM...did the trick for me. Of course don't forget wipe and factory reset in-between. In my case i flash new ROM without restoring.

Important : When you will get signal and GPS will show you position immediately power-off your device !!!

Bye :)

I'm noticing the same thing on my nexus 4 and I'm pretty sure it's not caused by traffic load on the whatsapp servers. On my GSII, messages came through straight away when the phone was sleeping.

On my nexus 4, if the screen is off, messages don't come through until I turn the screen on.

It seems to me that Android 4.2 handles wakelocks differently to ensure the device sleeps without interruption. That's great for battery life, but seems to impairing the ability to receive IMs.

[Nexus 4 General] IAmAN00bie:
Hey fellow Nexus 4 owners, I heard a lot of rumors that the "Nexus 4 uses left-over parts" from the Optimus G. To that end, I want to find out the general quality of our CPUs.

Basically, when Qualcomm makes the APQ8064 chip that you see in our Nexus 4, there are 4 different "types" based on how it meets their quality standards. These are Slow, Nominal, Fast, and Faster. The main difference IIRC between these types is how stable each can handle undervolting. CPUs that are "Fast" for example come pre-configured at a lower nominal voltage than a "Nominal" type CPU, and more so than a "Slow" type. (Does this account for how some people's phones generate less heat? Maybe, maybe not. IIRC, there's like only a -100mV difference between Faster and Slow out of the box, however Faster CPUs should be able to handle lower voltages than Slow-type.)

To find out what binned CPU you have, I recommend the following:

YOU MUST BE ROOTED!

1) Install Terminal Emulator

2) Reboot your phone

3) Open Terminal Emulator, and type:

su
dmesg | grep PVS

A line should be outputted that tells you what type you have.

For example, mine is NOMINAL. http://i.imgur.com/MUXrs.png

Please post your results in the following poll! (This poll began on /r/Nexus4, so rather than recreating the poll using XDA's system, I'm hoping to just get more results from here.)
