[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itpromike:
So I've downloaded the new Facebook native app and I've noticed that in accounts in system settings a Facebook entry is now there. When I click on it I see contact sync as an option. Does anyone know if this will just sync ALL contacts from Facebook or will it just merge Facebook data with any contacts I already have?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
I think it just downloads all your Facebook contacts and you can chose to have the visible under phone contacts.

You could try checking in the Facebook app, under settings, if it has the Sync option => Only existing contacts as an option, then it will merge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itpromike:
Thanks Mate, unfortunately no such option in this facebook app like there is in the iOS one. I don't understand how facebook could miss this huge option in their grand native app release... :-/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowrider262:
download haxsync from the play store, it works waaaaay better than regular fb sync ever did. or use a custom ROM that supports native fb sync. I think modaco ROM has it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmalote:
It's because Facebook and Google disagree on something and Facebook disabled this option for AOSP roms.

HTC and other manufacturers running Android have this functioning with the Facebook app out of the box.

But as suggested use Haxsync, works great, use it myself. It syncs high quality photos and it has face recognition so it only syncs faces.

Hi guys,

I'm selling my GS2 via eBay, and to cover myself I want to set everything back to how it was when I bought the phone, just with the latest software/ firmware.

I'm currently running a SuperNexus build if that helps.

I was wondering if someone could link me to the files I'd need.

Huge thanks.

Go to 4.1.2 or 4.0.4 stock rom, factory reset and unroot it, that will do it.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Czechnology.cz:
I have the Samsung Flip cover on my Note II.

Most apps can be used in landscape mode in both orientations but some use just the "default" landscape orientation. Unfortunately, this is the one with the flip cover in user's direction. When the phone is on the table it is slanted downward away from the user and also prevents me from setting the note standing as an "A".

Is it possible to tell the phone to use the "reverse landscape" orientation as the main one?

Also, can I get the stock launcher to display in landscape mode? I've seen there are some utilities for this but none seem to work perfectly. I've read that the next Android version should make this possible..?

(btw, I must say I really dislike the side buttons that are sticking out too much compared to my good ol' Dell Streak - makes it easy to press them unintentionally)

Hey guys,

I often find it difficult to carry on a SMS conversation, due to the security feature that makes you click the "Allow" button each time you want to send a text.

Each time to circumvent this I have to restart the phone.

Looking to probably install CM 10.1. Does anyone know if CM allows you to turn this security feature off?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
What does the security feature say? Does it say that you sent too many text messages within the X minutes and it asks you?

hey guys!

been looking for the perfect theft protecting app, and found one that claims to be hidden, and can also survive a factory reset.

so assuming that's true, lets imagine this

a guy steals my N4, and after 2 days i track him down using the app and come to his house, by that time he already formatted everything

and reinstalled stuff as if it was he's device.

is there any code/id/serial number inside the phone that you can dispute to google in order to prove to the police that its urs? for example u

check and the code is 123456, and u email google and they confirm that ur order was shipped with phone code 123456?

ty!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanide911:
Which app is this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caniv:
idk, might be a dumb question but does google know the serial number of every phone they sell?

and also, do they disclose it when it comes to ownership disputes of this kind?

its Cerberus - but if im not mistaken its free for a month or so and than u pay once for 3 licenses - still worth it if it does everything they say.

The hardware radio adresses are (more-or-less) unchangeable.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] vicnedo:
There is an application called "Set Locale and Language You" and it's free, with which you can change what would be the language of the ROM. I've tried it and it works perfectly, but the only drawback I find is that JOYos applications, for example, do not change the language, but everything else is perfect. Here's the link to Google Play.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmancell:
So I have the known freezing problem, where it freezes and have to reboot.

Well started having WiFi issues as well, ****ty connection, to having to turn off and turn back on the connection because it wouldn't work at all. This is related to the freezing problem correct? Also, how does it seem to be getting worse? Shouldn't it just be the same until they send an update?

Yes, I have tried all suggestions options.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrayHatter:
From what I've read here on the forums along with a few other sites is that the WiFi freeze is an issue with GNex and 4.2.1. Just hold tight for an update and the issue should be fixed.

But with random reboots, are you using a stock ROM and Kernel?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmancell:
Yes it's stock everything.

Started noticing other things, think it's related to WiFi somehow, for example this site will not let me log in, I type my credentials it says thanks, and then loads the page again without my logged in. Also, another site does not let me type, i hit the first letter and the keyboard goes away.

Some weird things. Hoping it will all be fixed with an update.

I think I also noticed a very small light bleed (only noticeable on the nexus loading screen), should I try to exchange it or is that pretty much the same on all devices?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrayHatter:
Hmm, if your device does suffer from light bleed, then it should be reproducible (In my opinion).

To try and reproduce it I would do this:

Turn brightness all the way up and disable the AUTO setting

Download the app, Display Tester, from the Play store (There is a myriad of similar apps, find one for you)

Optional: Check for dead pixels by cycling through the colors

Get to the black preset and see if you notice any shades of white coming through. If the black is consistent with the remainder of the screen, then no bleed. If not, they you may have some

Truth be told, I've read many posts in-which people complain how this is their Nth unit. If you feel that the minor bleed ruins your experience with the device, then return it. If not, then enjoy it! :p My personal opinion is to keep the device and not risk receiving a device with greater issues. And with the wifi lag, are you using Chrome as your browser? If so, I would try boat Browser (Flash Support) or Dolphin Browser with Jetpack. If that solves the WiFi issue (credentials) then there you go! If it doesn't then you can always try flashing a ROM or Factory Resetting. Good luck! :good:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmancell:
I will try that out.

And with the browser, it's not just the browser with issues, other internet apps do have issues as well.

*update

I tried the test, and it seems there are two small areas at the top right side of the screen. I can only see it on black, so it does not wreck my experience.

Something like this, does it get worse? The year warranty that it has, is this something they will fix/replace?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThomasBags:
I found you can fix wifi issues temporarily by switching the channel to 8 or anything other than 11
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmancell:
You talking about the tablet itself, or in my router settings? How would I do that on the tablet?

I checked my router, it's on Channel 6, so not going to help me.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGrayHatter:
You should be able to change the channel, but I don't see a correlation between the two.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtwazere:
Changing the wifi channel may help, it would depend on your network and the networks around you though.

I've had the same issues with wifi it's an absolute nightmare. I thought my first tablet was genuinely faulty since I couldn't find too many complaints here about the wifi. However the replacement I have been sent is the same. I'm not sure if it's an issue with 4.2 and certain routers but I had the wifi drops, and more annoyingly I had poor wifi signal that would frequently drop to no bars and cut the video I was watching at the time. Very frustrating.

I have not had a chance to test my nexus 4 however the wifi reception on that is pretty poor too while my old desire hd is fine so I'm sure it's android. Not sure how long it's going to take for a fix of any kind, there are a few reports on the Google submission page with a lot of replies.

Best thing to do is to submit a bug report to Google. At the very least it may get them to actually acknowledge that there is a problem with jelly bean.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmancell:
Yeah it's starting to pass me off, it's getting worse by the day. Almost unusable.

Not sure if I should send back or wait for update.

[Q] Issue: No change of the slide by tabbing on the right or left side, Solution?

Situation:

If I'm on the main screen, I can change to the next left or right screen either by swiping with my finger to the right or left or by tipping on the right or left side of the screen.

Issue:

Whenever I go to the APPS, Widgets menu (tip upper-rigt corner symbol on the main screen) or to the settings menu, the changing of the screens by tipping on the sides doesn't work anymore. Only after a restart it works again.

Okay, this is the second serious problem in the week since I tried out ROM Toolbox.

First time was on Wednesday, something Real Bad™ happened, hosing my system completely that I can't even open Settings without FC.

Second time is just a couple of hours ago: I rebooted and got stuck in a bootloop. And this is after re-Pristine-ing my phone.

I never had any serious problems before with the same combination of apps installed (minus ROM Toolbox).

This, of course, is mightily inconvenient.

So, anyone else having horror stories after installing ROM Toolbox?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Hmm... I tried remembering what happened exactly...

I think there's an incompatibility, or otherwise a fatal interaction, between ROM Toolbox and AutoStarts.

Nova. Always works for me and I can restore my icon layout. Makes switching Roms take all of 10 min

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
I don't believe in a favorite launcher. I believe they all of them are pretty much equal with each of them to their own uniqueness. It's more of favoritism.

I personally used Apex Launcher and switched to Nova because Nova Launcher Prime was on sale for <$1 so I switched. It also made it very easy to do because it imported my widgets and apps on home screens within one click.

Nova Launcher & Apex are both great choices. Can't go wrong with either or............ or you can use Trebuchet (CM's Launcher). Keep in mind if you use Nova Launcher, update to the latest beta!!! it helps, uses 4.2 launcher code

nova prime is my favorite. there's so much customizability, which makes it perfect for themeing. very fast and stable too. i want to get familiar with either ADW or Apex so I can toggle between themes very fast. Launcher8 has some potential too, but as of now its just too laggy.
