I'd have to guess you have some setting or app somewhere that is conflicting with adblockers, or you have a bad download of JellyBam (I'd suspect that's unlikely as I think you'd see other odd behaviors as well). I just updated to 3.3.0 (needed to switch back to stock kernel anyway) and just updated adaway with no problems (it was already installed - just did cache/dalvik wipe for the update) and it's working normally.

Sorry I don't have any other suggestions...good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nizbot:
Just to point out, JellyBAM has it's own adblocking by way of the hosts file. This could be causing conflict with adblocking apps. Not sure you'd need to double up like that. If you prefer to use an app i'd suggest swapping out the hosts file for a blank one. Essentially choose one or the other.

just my $.02
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Hadn't thought of that... I was under the impression that the ad blockers just over wrote the host file with their stuff anyway... Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the info.

[HTC One S] joviansky:
So I've had a recurring issue. Seems to be happening with any and all JB Sense ROMs really.

After fresh installing a ROM my phone would be working perfectly fine. Then some time after that, any time I receive a call the phone will lock up after I choose to pick up or right after I click send if I'm dialing out. No matter what, I will have not be able to hear anything. No dial tone, no voicemail, no voice on the end of the line. Sometimes a cache/dalvik wipe will fix this, most times it doesn't.

Another problem I've been having is that sometimes volume just stops working completely. No notification sounds, no ringtones, no key presses. Again, sometimes a cache wipe will fix this. Most times it doesn't. Usually these two problems come hand in hand.

EDIT: When I try to search something by voice on Google Now/Search, that also fails. So Mic seems to be an issue as well. But only when everything else is messed up.

I've posted this question on several ROM threads but no help so far. Any help with these problems would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen that old BL is without "GT-N7100" on Start Screen, new - with. So its a newer than new? :D
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] A.S._id:
No, BL without "GT-7100" it's a first bootloader test version, and this old bl from previous france ROM XXDLJ2...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Odia:
So just tell me in which place you found the command "reboot fota_bl".

I take it's one of the Russian portal users 4pda, I did not try to find out where he took it, and just made a tool. By the way, I did not say that you're not the first found it, I was only offered a tool on the basis of it, and put it in your same topic with no claims to authorship ...

I do not understand a single thing that you're so worried for the championship? You've put it out to the public without protection. Apk could do with this command and would have earned by selling for a nominal fee, but now everyone knows it already ...

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Odia:
I agree with you, but if I wanted to make money from it I would not have released the solution public and open, but I do feel credits should be given.

So, would you like to know the answer to the question I asked you, what 0x12345676 in location 0x1002080C does? :p
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] A.S._id:
As far as I could understand from the temporary transfers bootloader partition mmcblk0p1 into section mmcstl80?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Odia:
location 0x1002080C is s5p_restart_handler INFORM3 aka reboot_mode

reboot fota_bl sets MAGIC 0x12345676

when mach_board_main is executed in sboot and location 0x1002080C has 0x12345676 then it will execute pit_update_bootloader_ota, all pretty simple really.

There is also another special mode of reboot sud which sets s5p_restart_handler to 0xABCF0000 but to discuss its function would be off topic here.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] A.S._id:
OK, what happens if, at the command reboot fota_bl, the partition BOOTA1 will be filled with zeros or different words empty?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Odia:
All is checked that the images are valid before any move process is done.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] A.S._id:
I suspected it, but even so well when there is evidence

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] bodivas:
Bingo! Holy words..:good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] ohtoulouz:
Hi,

I have seen in Odia's post that the downgrade method involved two other files for the I9300 bootloader (param.bin and tz.img). These files also exist in N7100 bootloader package.

However, you do not refer to these files in your downgrade method: so, does the following command also applies to N7100:

# dd if=/sdcard/tz.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

# dd if=/sdcard/param.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

or should we replace mmcblk0p2 and mmcblk0p4 locations by something else?

or can we simply skip these commands without risk?

Also, is XXDLJ2 bootloader valid for XXDLL4 ROM? Or do I need to find a XXDLL4 bootloader ?

Thanks,

Pierre.

Only on the nexus 7 in 4.2 there is banding everywhere even on solid colors. You can really see it behind the recent apps on the wallpaper. Its extremely banded in 4.2 but perfectly fine in 4.1. Its obviously something with the video driver itself and not any of the PNG assets so the old 4.1 and 4.0 gradients fixes won't help.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] midnightmach:
I've had my Nexus for less than a week now and I'm absolutely loving it, I think it looks great and I don't want to cover any of it up with a cheap looking case. The gorilla glass had me thinking I could leave the Nexus naked, well I was wrong. After only 3 days I somehow managed to accumulate multiple fine scratches on the back panel above the "Nexus" branding. I love the look and more importantly the feel of the phone that I won't even consider the official bumper so I decided to try the Ghost Armor protection.

The "full body" protection cost me $45 installed at my local mall. Installation took 30 minutes and I had to leave my Nexus with them for that time (scary I know). I was told that if I have any issues within the first week I can come back and get it fixed, after that its always $5 replace the front or back protectors if they peel, get scratched, etc...

Compared to the Zagg invisible shield I had on my Nexus S this is much better. For one the Zagg was "rubbery," had "orange peel," and the edges of the protector were visible (I think because the Zagg is thicker).

What I like about the Ghost Armor is that the front and back of the device the protectors are practically invisible. I feel like I have a much better grip on the phone. More importantly the phone doesn't slide around on tables anymore (i've already had it slide off my nightstand and desk). Also the phone attracts much less fingerprints/grease and that is a huge plus in my opinion!

What I don't like about the Ghost Armor. The multiple pieces that protect the sides of the device are just ugly, the protector gives the matte finish a glossy look that I hate. Even worse, every corner has a good 5mm gap that is unprotected, this I can't understand when corner drops are so common. As a result I am considering removing all the side protection. Also, after installation the phone cannot be put in tight pockets similar spaces until the protectors have settled and all the air bubbles dissipated so for the first 24H you really have to baby the phone. Lastly, the screen protector does not wrap extend to the tapered edges of the glass, edge swiping still works great but you can feel the protector.

Overall I am satisfied with the Ghost Armor. If you are like me and enjoy a "caseless" phone I highly recommend it. Let me know what you are using and how satisfied you are with it, also if you've got any questions.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] dlphob:
I have the screen protector on mine in conjunction with the ringke slim. I like that it doesn't cover the curved edge or else the case will lift the protector. I had a ghost armor protector on my s3 and my galaxy Nexus and loved them. Doesn't have that bad of an orange peel effect and feels great.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chapulincolorado:
Based on your review, I took a chance with it. There was a very small price drop on it, so I ended up paying $40+sales tax. Really like it better than the Zagg. They didn't take a long time to install it. No orange peel. Not too rubbery. It does take about an hour or two for the air bubble to dissipate. But once the time passes, it's clear.

They do sell them without installation so it should be cheaper that way. I am way too chicken to try to install it so I pay for the extra bling bling.

Now I have my Nexus 4 with the Ghost Armor and Poetic Bumper case. :good::o
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Gja88:
I too got this and I must say it was worth the money. Expensive but it looks crystal clear and attracts a lot less prints then dry protectors. Plus you can't go wrong with the lifetime warranty
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jaxidian:
Can somebody post a close-up of the edge of the front screen protector and the curved edge of the screen, please?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BuzzKilla:
I had the full body armor kit installed.

The side pieces, made the sparkles in the plastic very apparent and made it look like bedazled iphone, plus it was very patchy and didnt cover the sides seamlessly.... so i tore it off.

The front screen protector got annoying really quickly because it did not go all the way to the edge of the screen... So i tore it off!

In the end all i am left with, is the back cover. which is why i got it in the first place. (phone slid off my desk the first day, while attached to charger)

there is a 1mm gap around everything, which is annoying, but it is an even gap so it isnt bad looking, and only noticeable if you are looking for something to scrutinize.

My 2 cents:

Rushed release. just to have a product on the market. Ghost Armor is good, and the only thing they didnt mess up was the ONLY flat surface on the phone.

I like my naked phone, and the rear skin is there cuz the phone is too perfect.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jaxidian:
This is exactly why I wouldn't buy this product. I would HATE the gaps around the edges and in between pieces!

Did you put yours on yourself?

I wonder if it's much different than a regular screen protector and a guy from a mobile shop could put it on?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chapulincolorado:
I didn't put it myself. I had the kiosk staff put it. They sell them by themselves so you can always install them yourself. Personally, I'm very happy with my purchase.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SloMotion:
I used their full armor kit on another phone and after about 3 months the back cover started peeling and began to develop a yellow color all over. I removed the complete kit since the front screen protector got very rubbery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] abpat2203:
I have the exact same combination. When I recently removed the Ringke Slim to show up the phone to a co-worker, I discovered that the inside of the case dug two vertical grooves on the protector film.

Good thing Ghost Armor replaces the cover for free as I intend to get that as soon as I receive my Google bumper.

I have the ghost armor clear full body kit on my Nexus 4 that I paid to get installed. The front and back are great, but the sides dont stick on very well at all. The top left corner peeled off, so I went back to get a new corner peice put on. The guy who worked at the booth told me that since the Nexus 4 has rubber-ish sides the side protectors wont stick. He also said that the first person who put it on for me shoulda told me that before selling me the full body kit. Since some other pieces are starting to peel i believe he could be right. I wouldnt recommend the full body kit for the Nexus 4, but the front and back are great.
