[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djdunn:
I'm loving 4.2.1 with franco kernel #38

Smooth and powerful without neutering my N7 upwards to 11 hours "screen on" time light use.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucubz:
Before you install any apps, update to 4.1.2.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sarchel:
Bought my Nexus 7 one afternoon and when it started to sniff out the wifi at home, the update was offered already. I looked around for awhile knowing how my old android "prototype" phone, Galaxy 5 went haywire after upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2. I've read a blog about the upgrade screwing up Bluetooth controllers for the nexus 7...but what the heck, I got it anyway.

now I've been using an Xbox 360 usb via OTG and I don't notice anything out of the ordinary. Dunno about the bluetooth controllers though, didn't try and won't (that's one more battery management I'm going to worry about :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brakke97:
Don't update! It has a battery draining problem and and also a bluetooth problem (maybe even more bugs)! Wait until Android 4.2.2 or 5.0 comes out, it will be much better! :p
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillip1953:
Mine works fine. Bluetooth works with my speaker (and headphones) and battery life is no different than under 4.1.*
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
I would update all the Apps now running stock 4.1.2 first, and, consider doing the easiest ones (for me, YMMV) by unlocking the bootloader, rooting the device, install a Custom Recovery along with Busybox.

Reboot & let it run smooth to be sure, run a TB backup and then do a full Backup (I used CWM) - and store those safely away first. Run some benchmark for scores using Quadrant Std. etc. as your baseline for reference.

Then, do the 4.2.1 OTA upgrade or alternate methods (via flashing, etc.)

Reboot & go thru initial setup as everything would be wiped clean, setup account & do the restoration (plus, root & unlock & custom recovery) and decide for yourself after using it as to whether you are happy and/or running into issues. Check your benchmark scores as well as Apps to see how they perform. Make a full Backup & store an extra copy away (mine go to the server at home.) Your next step would then be to "experiment" with various kernels & full custom Rom under 4.1.2

If you do all these, you can easily switch back & forth as necessary - or, in my case - rolled back to 4.1.2 with numerous tweaks: 720 video, Flash Player 11.x with Boat Browser & tablet UI, etc. and working OTG (with the upgrade notification disabled/turned off.) Everything else that I see in 4.2.x that I would run and use are working great under 4.1.2 as switching users on the go isn't a big deal - waiting for 4.3 or 5.0 as more annoying "bugs" would be resolved by other daring "pioneers" :cool:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] issak42:
The only problem I have with 4.2.1 is that audio trough bluetooth is choppy when WiFi is in use. Other then that I don't have any issues, and according to Battery Widget Reborn app my battery usually lasts for 1 day 11 hrs.

Battery use right now: 77% full, 10h 35m on battery, 59% screen on.

If you're not using bluetooth audio heavily, or can live without it (or alternatives), yes, by all means, go ahead and update.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JobiWan144:
OK, I'm gonna transform this into a poll. Should I:

a) stay on 4.1.2 and wait for a future update,

b) update to 4.2.1, or

c) do some kind of hackery (please describe in your reply)?

Like this post if you think I should STAY ON 4.1.2 for now and wait for a future update.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bangawasawa:
- You want to upgrade from Xperia Play to a faster phone.

- You DON'T MIND that it will be touch screen-only.

- It must be an Android phone.

- You don't want to pay much so you're OK with let's say a dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM

- Compatibility is important, so you want most of your current Android apps (that work on XPlay) to be compatible with your new phone.

- Should have a decent camera, at least 8Mpx - but this is not SO important.

- "Sony Xperia" line is EXCLUDED (I had some bad xperience with Xperia P)

Which current phone would you choose?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Depends by what you mean by not paying much. The Nexus 4 is relatively cheap isn't it? Taking into account it's specs, it's quite a bargain.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I would agree with you on that.. you want great specs at a good price, Nexus 4 is the way to go.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.Spirit:
Galaxy Nexus or Motorola Razr MAXX or LG Nexus
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
Only bad thing about the nexus I'd no micro SD slot which is a bummer 16gb just isn't enough for some but for its price its the best phone around
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Im in the same position as you i hate it when I see either or on an android device. Hopefully Samsung would release sg4 with microsd and 32gb of internal storage.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Get a Galaxy Nexus or LG Nexus 4. (This is my answer to every question about which Android phone to get.)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
No that didnt answer my question. I want both a micro sd slot and 32gb of internal storage.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Actually I was suggesting the OP.

In your case, beside 32GB S3, the Sony ZL looks compelling, 16 internal but you can use 64 sd. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_zl-5203.php

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Samsung started dishing out s3s with 32gb internal storage option. Hopefully it will come to the states. I have 3 reasons to go with Samsung removable battery (expandable/upgradable), alot of internal storage (32gb), and a removable sd slot. Now thats a beastly phone.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChiGGz:
I just opened an RMA for my wifi issues (low signal) and was wondering why I wasn't offered free shipping. Didn't people get this offer in the past?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThiaiZ:
Sent mine back for same reason,they did pick it up at my door and delievered back on the same way,all free. All the way from Sweden to tchec republic and back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I've RMs twice. The first time Asus picked up the shipping both ways. The second time I paid to ship to them and they paid the return. Not sure if this is based on what kind of problem you are trying to get resoved or not. The first problem I sent in in for was all the blacks on my screen showed red - they replaced the mainboard. The second time was for the green camera issue - camera replaced.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] promiseofcake:
Is there anything they can do for the low wifi signal? Isn't it due to a combination of poor wiring and a full metal case?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nitram_tpr:
I had to RMA mine due to a green screen on the rear camera, Asus paid for shipping both ways. Emailed me a courier label.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
Asus has always made me pay shipping on the various warranty issues I have had over the years with their products. I did get them to pay one time because they sent it back claiming it was fixed and the problem was still there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChiGGz:
Ya but there was some other issues with the tablet as well, wifi being the biggest PITA for me right now.

Also have bluetooth issues and the green camera. Sigh..Asus...

Called them again, they were prepared to offer me free shipping until they found out it was a tablet and not a laptop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
When I was going to ship mine in, they said I had to pay for shipping because it was international warranty. This time I won't say I purchased it overseas and see what happens. I never sent it the first time I lodged an RMA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moothead2:
I bought mine the US and sent it to the Czech Republic from the UK free of charge.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sahilcc7:
Gonna tell them that, and see what they say :)

Hi everyone I was just wondering if there are any mods or apps available in order to customize the drop down menu, such as buttons for silence, power saving etc (similar to the galaxy s3 stock drop down menu)

Thank you
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] joelbnyc:
android 4 dropdown menu needs customization ability!!

Yeah I can't believe android 4.2 doesn't allow customizing that upper right drop-down menu , there's room for 16 more items...

Really no way to add icons/shortcuts on my non-rooted nexus 7?

Form those of us who conserve battery usage, there should be a shortcut to turn location access and WiFi on/off.

Instead we just have a toggle for blue tooth... Blue tooth? Hope you're listening, Android developers, this needs to to be implemented... Customizability is why people choose android over apple.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] photogkaram:
Hello everyone, this is my first thread on XDA. :D

I currently have a Nexus 7 Tablet and I did many changes of appearance to it using go Launcher. So when I set a wallpaper, all widgets are opaque and they dont let me see the wallpaper(s) :( . So I was thinking maybe there was an app that could let me set the transparency of those widgets (Gmail, Flipboard, youtube, Google Play...)

Please give me suggestions, I'll press "Thanks" if you solve my problem.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oli1122:
Thats the widgets themselves, you cant make them transparent without a large amount of editing the apks and or their contents. I would suggest these apps on the play store :fingers-crossed:

are you getting error code 67 or something like that? if so you'll need to try to make a call...get error...Continue to wait..an operator should answer...tell them your error code, Speak as if you are actually using the donor phone not the 3vo...and they should push a fix to your account and after a reboot you'll be fine again.

I had the exact same problem!!!

after flashing to jellybean my phone took ages to boot up i thought it was bricked or something (8 gig sd card)

and if i removed it it booted instantly... i dont know why this happened but if i uninstall link2sd it works again... so its a problem with link2sd using my 8 gig card or something....
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx James xX:
Lmfao

Lmafo lol i forgot to say the solution!

it isnt a problem with your SD card its because you have Link2Sd installed our puny devices cannot handle either a big partition size

or the size of the card, as soon as i deleted link2sd and second partition it fixed....

however i know link2sd is important so the solution and keeping the app is to simply use a smaller SD im using a 2Gig one now (instead of my 8) im sure 4Gig will work but i havent tried it... just make sure your partition isnt to big 800 meg is fine for tonnes of apps (im using 500meg on my 2gig)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx James xX:
The reason why it started acting up is because I'm guessing you now have a custom kernel installed?

[HTC Droid DNA] lohs63:
The best kernel I've found for increasing clock speeds is the cubed kernel (2.4.2) and I've found that it is also the most stable while providing better battery life and nice features (sweep2wake)

Anyways good luck man hope this helped :)

That link is for Dsb's cubed kernel. You can over clock it to your preferences. You can use system tuner to change the clock speed. I personally use the setting in "Pimp my Rom". It's on the play store, pretty nice.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] -Mindroid-:
I highly recommend this great universal car mount. It may be the best one on the market.

http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windshield-INCREDIBLE-BlackBerry-Revolution/dp/B007FHX9OK

Pros:

- The suction cap is very strong on smooth and on grooved surfaces.

- Adjustability in every direction.

- Tightening joints.

- Levers for one hand phone release and a quick button to grab it.

- Adjustment for phone height.

Cons:

- It vibrates a little when the car is running but not enough to bother me

- No wireless charging. Plugging cables is not that much fun but maybe I can DIY something later.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Riverdales27:
I use an iottie flex 2 really good. I don't put it on the dash though only on the windshield.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] croques:
For a generic, it looks over priced to me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] -Mindroid-:
True. The price hovers around $20.

To me it's worth paying the money for a good car mount, you guys can decide for yourselves.

Although the stand itself could be replicated for a fraction of the price I doubt

generic mounts use the same quality suction cap. The dash on my car where i have it is curved

and the surface itself is grooved. The suction cap is not made out of rubber and is very hard

to pull out even when the latch is up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] eternityends:
This thing works great. It has enough space to fit the Nexus 4 with a bumper. I also mounted a NFC sticker behind it to automatically open maps and start bluetooth. Works flawlessly. One complaint, the suction cup is too sticky. I have to pull really hard to get the gel cup to release from my dashboard.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] visceralpsyche:
Another vote for the iottie :) Have one in my car and it's perfect! As others have noted, the suction cup is STRONG! :D Which is a good thing....
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zesousa:
seems a bit overpriced =)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] irishtexmex:
The iOttie carries a premium in price because of its patented suction cup.

I've had my eye on them for a while, and supposedly the suction cup can work on your dash, even if it has ridges/grooves/isn't perfectly straight.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Riverdales27:
I use the same case and fits fine. But I use the iottie flex 2 mount. Just get that it holds the phone firm even without the third bracket for support.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesebastian:
I'm going to buy this! I have LG OEM bumper too.

P.S: I was thinking that....When i leaved my Nexus 4 under the sun, it heats a lot (even much more than when you play a game).

And that won't be good for the battery.

What's your trick inside the car?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jabber024:

[Off-topic] rrmusgraves:
Just a thought for the day..

I noticed the majority of ROMs I've attempted to download for my wife's Sidkick 4G takes me to a download page that requires iLivid download manager to be installed before you receive the ROM. This download manager apparently is new and only been out for a couple of weeks (so I was told) but what I find ironic is, it is loaded with unwanted software/bloatware and changes the users search engine, of course the experienced user is able to unchecked these features if you catch them but my point is we are flashing our phones (for the most part) to eliminate the manufactures image which bogs down the phone with bloatware but we are now slowing down our computers with bloatware in the process:confused:

Anyways... so far, I've have been unsuccessful downloading ROM's using this software manager and thought I would share my experience.

This is in no way taking away any credit or ranting at the developers but I would like to thank each and everyone of you guys for your hard work! kudos :victory:

It's adware. Don't download it, this junk has been worming its way into several filesharing sites recently. Even the big ones, it took wupload and filesonic weeks to get rid of it, and now they're offline.

It's junk.
[Off-topic] rrmusgraves:
I've figured as much and defiantly not blaming the developers at all, they are probably unaware of it.

Also, I did indeed looked over the webpage and the only solution is to click skip ad, download and mirror links..

Download & Skip Ad start the download process of iLivid except the mirror links which usually error out and ask to reload the page.

The page is a direct link from the download link for the ROM, i'm assuming a URL redirection/URL forwarding (hijacking) is taking place.

Requested screen shot attached.
