[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortbus1234:
Just wondering if there is any way to lock the wifi in the off position. Say for example I wanted to let my kids use the Nexus 7 but not be online and if they took the Nexus to the library or any public location to read books only or use the installed apps only offline and to make sure that they are not surfing the web etc?

Also wondering how to make the google play ALWAYS ask for a password? It seems to easy to make purchases which is a good for me but basically wondering if it is possible to make it so they are not able to purchase anything. Similar to the way Apple iPad works where there is a "enter password" for every purchase.

TIA
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malibu_23:
You can set a pin the market settings to prevent installs/purchases.

Also you can download an app blocker from the market and black list certain apps without a password. Including settings/play store/ etc. Set it up to block access to certain apps. I use a app blocker instead of the built in lock screen pin. To keep Wifey out my SMS when she feeling nosey.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awesoham:
You can try blocking the settings app with an app blocker AFAIK.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortbus1234:
Thanks the app blocker will probably do what I am looking for.
[Milestone 2 General] zcylex:
Hi,

a friend Brought me a Motorola Milestone 2 which had been sent to him, however it was asking me/him for a motoblur account, so I entered mine and it said name/password was incorrect, so I decided to flash it after many attempts to hard reset etc etc

used RSD Lite 4.7+patch and 5.6 with a few of the softwares found in the super firmwares thread but to no avail I got a "code group XX" verification failed and my screen shows "critical error DEA1"

I've tried many firmwares since then however none of the work

I can't get into "android recovery mode" as soon as I put the battery in, I get code corrupt battery ok to program etc etc

I have bootloader 70.13

don't know what firmware was on it, as I had no access to the system

what to do?

PS: I have read many threads about this and tried everything.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DrgnRebrn:
I'm interested in people with direct experience using apps on the N7 that enable text messaging over a WiFi connection. I'm interested in ones that truly allow you to send & receive messages to/from cell phones - not ones dependant upon email (as I believe gtalk is).

PS - The UI has to be easy to use, as this is getting setup on an N7 for my Father-in-Law - and he's 62.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Saenzscene:
Only app I use is tablet talk. You can connect via WiFi or Bluetooth. It can send and receive MMS also. It is the best app I have used. I use it daily. It is $2.99 I believe but well worth the price.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Sveke:
There are none. They all need your phone near you.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DrgnRebrn:
Really? I've always thought there were apps available that allowed true WiFi messaging. Some of the ones I've been looking at are:

HeyWire

textPlus

Talkatone

In the reading I've done so far, these all seem to be apps that allow one to do what I'm aiming for. I started this topic thread to see if anyone on the N7 has either direct experience with any of these, or any other apps that are similar in function/purpose.

You're saying that even these require a phone to be tethered through WiFi, or BT though?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Ryano89:
This is not true. CLOUD SMS is an app that does not require blue tooth, or for the phone and tablet to be connected to the same Wifi. It is simple to use, your phone can be on data, or wifi(doesn't have to be same location), and you can send and receive from phone or tab. It cost 99 cents in the play store. I've followed it through the beta process here on xda and I would highly recommend it.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DrgnRebrn:
Thanks for the quick reply. I looked this app up and read about it. This app looks like it does require a tethered phone. Is that true in your experience with it, or is there a way to use it independently of a phone?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Sveke:
You have no clue what you're talking about, it's the exact same as tablet talk which i use.

So OP, don't get all excited.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rcarnes911:
I use tablet talk/desk SMS I never keep my phone on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection and it works just fine
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Saenzscene:
I misunderstood your request. I apologize. Yeah it requires both phone and tablet to be on the same WiFi network in order to use for SMS/MMS.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Sveke:
The OP is talking about texting from a tablet over WiFi with no phone at all.

Can't be done, texts are sent over mobile data and not WiFi.

Google voice may be able to do it, but not sure.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DrgnRebrn:
Google Voice is an interesting angle to try. I wonder if it'd be over his head though. Thanks for that suggestion, I'll look into that one and see what it's capable of.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Ryano89:
Doesn't tablet talk require that you be on the same wifi with both the phone and tablet, or be connected by bluetooth? Cloud SMS does not require either of these, my phone can be at home and my tablet can be at work connected to wifi, this is a fact, I use it every day. If I'm wrong about Tablet Talk requirements(haven't used it several months) then I apologize. I may have misunderstood the question, but the information I provided, in response to your comment that the phone and tablet have to be near each other, was correct. But your "tone" is both unnecessary and not appreciated. I was just trying to provide info on an app that I am familiar with. I'm not sure what your problem is.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] vlx600d:
I use Verizon messages on mine. It is Dependant on having a Verizon smartphone and being on the same wifi, but works like a charm for me. Let's you send and receive SMS amend MMS and pretty much anything your phone can do and doesn't require a separate plan for the tablet
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] toddbud:
Mighty Text let's you send texts through your phone using your pc. I am using the beta for nexus 7, so when I get a text on my Optimus G, I get a notification on my Nexus 7 and have the ability to respond to the text using the tablet, and no need to use the telephone. As far as the texter goes, they think you are texting from your phone. Even better, anything you do on the tablet shows up in your telephone's text app. Mighty Text also allows you to keep a history of the text. I hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jaygz:
This is correct. I use Cloud SMS everyday. I hate connecting my phone to wifi, but it still uses the phones mobile data to send the sms through the internet to my wifi tablet. Also when im away from home, i tether them together and it also works perfectly like that as well. I hate taking my phone out of my pocket while im on my tablet, this way I never have to.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] srelyt:
It's less expensive. I don't know for tablet talk but the Dev of cloud SMS is super fast to respond and to add features. You can find his thread on xda.

Also it s not possible without phone. Maybe with a 3g model and the sms app? Not even sure it will work...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tbonezx11:
Why not just set up a Google phone# and side load whatsApp? I have it on my n7 linked to my Google voice number. No problems. No needed to target to phone or data. True wifi sms ... And free.

The setup is the hard part...Very easy after that.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] peter_st:
mysms

Mysms is a great tool! It can send sms over your phone and gets synched automatically. It even supports "internal" (free) messages from mysms-users and group chats (since yesterday). Very nice tool!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DrgnRebrn:
So, you have a Google Voice number, don't have it tied to anything, and are able to send txt via your tablet that way?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Mateomatics:
Yea Google voice lets you text via the tablet independent of or phone. You can even pay a one time fee of 20 dollars to import or existing phone number but if not just download the app on or tab and or good to go. And you can download the app on or phone if you want to text through that away from ur tablet
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
Another one for Setting up a Google voice number.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jgw1985:
I use cloud sms and have since closed beta with the developer. It only requires data or wifi. Awesome app and only improving. You do not have to be near phone. If I leave my tablet at home it still syncs every text I received throughout the day. Highly recommend for everyone looking for an app that allows sms and mms via tablet
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] DrgnRebrn:
Problem with CloudSMS is you have to have the client installed on each device. The old guy doesn't have a smartphone, so that pretty much negates that app right there.

Hello so I have a T-Mobile Sensation and I only rooted it, still S-Off. The wifi hasn't been working, I tried everything, from fixing permissions, factory resets, cache +dalvik wipe. I have failed at S-off because somehow my H-Boot is 1.27 and the Revolutionary program can't detect the phone and turn s-off. I can't flash a custom kernel or rom, is it because it's still S-On? Please help!

[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
You need s off buddy.
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Perhaps unroot it and contact HTC if still under warranty? The only way, I believe to s-off 1.27 is the wire trick. I wouldn't go down that path if WiFi is not working now.

When did WiFi stop working for you?
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Did you enable smartflash in 4ext? If not, then here's a guide that tells you how to do that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
[HTC Sensation] towelboy:
You need to enable smart flash to flash zips?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
because you are S-ON when flashing a rom or kernel you have to enable smartflash before flashing them

the S-ON devices don't have the ability to flash the boot.img in boot partittion by itself during the installation process

so the smartflash feature is the reason for that

follow the guide that android1234567 suggested you

actually you have 2 options:

1)enable smartflash and immediately reflash the rom or

2)flash the boot.img of the rom manually(extra 1 step)

I have the same problem

enabeling smartflash helps to unstall zip ROMs...but WiFi will not work in some ROMs,in others WiFi works,but camera not installed,or sometimes GooglePlay not installed or Video not playing...

CM10 july =>wifi works,cameradoesen't,video don't play...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
did you try sense based roms?

edit:did you check if the camera.apk is including in the rom.zip

maybe it is a bad download

try to download again AOKP and CM10 ROMS
[HTC Sensation] waelharrabi:
tried sense ROMS

sense roms i don't like ...

I like JB 4.1.2 !!!

Am just in love with this system CM10...but as u see i have some problems...

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i don't think that the hboot version or S-ON are the issue

re-download CM10 again and see if it works

but don't forget to format all partitons first(except sdcard)

This thread is not for you,if you already have a good one.

This is for who love this tablet and are trying hard to find a good one...

Most of us here,has went through 2 or 3 tablet and still has LIGHT BLEED,DEAD PIXEL and YELLOWISH COLOR etc....

Just went to my local Staples and bought 4 unit,not open yet ,already return 3 device to GOOGLE base on the same problem.

Hope the one from staple will be the GOOD ONE...

If the 4 tablet is not good, i am still going to pursue the hunt for a good one...

Why not send it to Samsung and have them repair it instead going through all buying/return process?

Waiting 3 to 5 business day for Samsung to call me back with the service request. I bought it at Walmart, and no other Walmart near me has had it in stock since I bought it. If they have it in stock before Samsung calls me back, I may try exchanging it there instead. But I'm going to demand Samsung checks the replacement screen and checks again!
[Nexus 10 General] ClashOfTheNexi:
You can also wait until the second batch comes out and return it to Google then.
[Nexus 10 General] TheShoura:
Just called Google and their going to cross-ship a unit to me, at least that's how it sounded like. Needs a credit card and everything which is fine for me

I personally prefer this over anything else as I can inspect my replacement unit and it ensures I get a completely different unit.

Hey There,

Been with XDA for a year now and I love everything about rooting my phone. Recently I updated to JB Paranoid 2.99 official build and it was working amazing. Best thing I could have asked for this Christmas. However, about a week ago I stopped receiving sms and mms on my phone. Weird. I didn't install anything different I had the same daily driver I had set up weeks ago. I was able to get a work around for sms through google voice but no go on MMS.

Today I downgraded to ICS and all is good now with MMS and SMS, but I want my JB back. Any one else experiencing these problems?

Again I was running JB for a month now with out any problems this only happened a week ago. And I didn't install any new Apps or firmware. And if I try and go back to JB right now then I get the same problem.

It seems like updating my prl and profile seemed to help but I'm very new at PRL pushing and I got QPST working but not sure where to find a PRL right for me and also how to update my profile on my phone (if I need to)

Thanks for the help in advance.

if I you need any other info let me know i'm still new at this.

Seeing as how I came here as a noob, I had tons of questions. Jailbreaking an iPhone is a cake-walk compared to getting an Android phone rooted/flashed. Well, not so much for me anymore. I'd like to take a moment and thank members like InflatedTitan. He took much time and stayed patient with me, answering all of my questions and then some. I appreciate how he didn't treat me like a dope and encouraged me to ask questions.

Because of him, I was able to get CleanRom installed and it works great. So what I'm saying secondary to this is that if you're a newbie--Don't hesitate to ask questions, research a lot and don't do something you aren't prepared to do with the possibility of consequences. After all, it was reading many other people's posts that had problems that got me to research even more.
