Guys all cellphone companies say that warranty is void after unlocking the bootloader...so if after unlocking it someone faces some problem with the hardware (not due to unlocking but some other reason) where one would go to get his phone repaired (as there won't b any customer support after that)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
You would lock it again, if possible.

Flashing custom ROMs

Can anyone explain the difference between dirty and clean flash on custom ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
Clean flashing means you perform a factory reset in your custom recovery prior to flashing. So you start with essentially a clean slate.

Dirty flashing means you don't perform the factory reset, and just install it over your previous build and hope for the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RingoJJ:
Is it necessary to format /system on a clean flash? What is the best way to flash a new custom ROM? Are the steps below correct?

Wipe data (factory reset)

Wipe cache

Wipe Dalvik cache

Format /system

Install zip from /sdcard and choose the new ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
It''s generally not necessary to format /system because the update-script in the flashable.zip SHOULD format the system partition, but it couldn't hurt. There is no need to wipe /cache & Dalvik after performing a Factory reset as they have already been cleared.

What are your thoughts on Chameleon? It was a kickstarter project a while back, now it's in the Play Store.

Link to app on play store: Chameleon
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] gianptune:
Looks like the reviews for that app say just about everything there is to say. It has more 1-star ratings than 5-star ones and average is below 3-star. Its a paid app, and it has reviews that bad. My thoughts are that the people that funded this on kickstarter probably feel ripped off. I wouldn't fork out $1 for something with reviews that bad, let alone the $4 they are asking.

And whats up with their video? Every camera view is either way off to the side or 20ft back. You see more of the outside of the tablet than the screen. I think they missed the point entirely with the video.

I also lol'd at their official website. "See what all the excitement is about". The people that bought the app don't seem very excited to have it.

[LG Optimus 3D] midnite_:
Hi buddy,

My o3d is a stock (unflashed) one. It can enter fastboot mode mainly by this method. (I have tried different methods, like the wkpark one, but finally I have succeeded with that, and with the wkparks fastboot loader tool. Anyway, I can make my way to that white LG logo fastboot place ;)) And when I do fastboot devices it returns my serial number. (So I am sure it is in fastboot mode.) But when I want to boot a custom recovery from PC, by the command fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-p920.img, the command prompt gives the following messages:

creating boot image...
creating boot image - 5484544 bytes
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 2.770s]
booting...
OKAY [ -0.000s]
finished. total time: 2.790s

Seems alright. But my o3d stays still on that white LG logo. It obviously didnt boot. If I now try fastboot devices again, it gives ??? instead of the serial number:

???????????? fastboot

I have tried using recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.9-p920.img and recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.9-p920.img downloaded from this page, and also the cm-7.2.0-p920 boot.img downloaded from this page. But all give the same result :rolleyes:.

I would like to try the custom recovery, by fastboot boot recovery.img, before really flashing into my o3d, by fastboot flash recovery recovery.img .

Any clues?

Thanks so much!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sysl0rd:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you also have this "bug": I kind of get the feeling this happens once in a while, that when I press on the most bottom recent app, or any other recent app in this matter, that it starts a different recent app which is not the one I klicken.

Example: I touched peel smart remote and Facebook comes up?

Infos:

I know about the bug when Samsungs are plugged in, and no it wasn't plugged in

I'm rooted (exploit)

Had reboots

Came from oldest stock ics Rom to this jb Rom via odin

This is not a ultra consistent problem, but it is annoying when it happens =p just wanted to see if there is a common solution or if anyone else is experiencing this?

Greetings sysl0rd
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Markhypnosis:
I've had the same thing happen. I thought it was just me clicking on the wrong app initially....until I read this post. Hopefully Samsung know about all these weird bugs and complaints, and are doing something about it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Markhypnosis:
I've just been messing around with the recent apps tab trying to replicate the problem. It seems that if I hit the recent tab icon and then choose an app too soon after it pops up, it will occasionally open a completely different app to the one I chose. If I leave it for a couple of seconds it always opens the right one.

Not a big deal.....but still shouldn't happen.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontAlbert:
I purchased a charger from a local company here in Australia. We really don't have much option over here as most companies won't ship to here. They tested them out and they worked (I trust the company as I know one of the owners).

Problem is that it mostly only charges to around 88% and peaked out here and stays attempting to charge, but not charging just getting hotter and hotter. So far max was 58deg I think. It has charged to 100% twice only, and I have had them for 2 weeks. These 2 times it perfectly charged to 100,stopped charging and cooled down.. Perfect.

A few others have had issues as well but the suppliers say it works fine for them.

Has anyone had any issues at all like this using wireless charging? We are really trying to get to the bottom of this and trying to figure out if it's a phone issue or a charger issue.

I have tried it with any and all stock and custom roms, both totally clean and with apps installed.

I have attached my battery graphs here in case that helps solve the problem.

We noticed there was quite a few bad remarks about the lg one on Amazon so thought I would ask here.

So, anyone else have issues with inconsistent wireless charging of nexus 4?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgyc:
I'm having the same issues as well with this Wireless Charger I purchased off eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221166419716

For the first 2 weeks it was charging without issue. Charged the phone up to 98/99% and then switched on and off to maintain that charge, and the phone did not get very hot.

For the past few days it has only been able to charge up to 90% and will not go any higher, but the phone gets very hot and stays like that (45C). Plugging the phone into a USB charger gets it up to 100% so it can't be that the battery maximum has been reached.

Would be interested to know what type of Qi Charger you have to see if it's a problem with a certain 'type'.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MontAlbert:
Mine isn't that one. It's no brand at all. The guys who imported them tell me they tested some, including that you bought and they say that one was intermittent.

I recently purchased http://www.fasttech.com/products/1154/10001946/1142301 and this works perfectly so far... But then it's only been a couple days...

I am putting it down to a hardware revision 10 issue where it is not perfectly qi compliant. The newer ones are supposedly rev 12 which are qi compliant.... And hopefully they work fine with it so I can sell them to my friends who all bought an n4 today (5 at work in a smallish Xray dept)...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodgyc:
Is this the hardware revision on the phone, or do you mean the rev of the charging device?

As mine evidenced, even if it works perfectly for a while, it could still not be an indication that the qi charging will keep working.

I'll probably just stick with my one until the 'official' one is released. Was a little worried that the temperature staying around 45C for extended periods of time could have a negative effect on the battery or phone components however.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icase81:
Kind of a necro post but my N4 on the official charger will top out at 88% as well sometimes, then flap between charging and discharging like the phone thinks its full and is trickle charging. If I plug it in and get it to 90%, then go back to the orb, it goes to 100% just fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddbin:
Double necro but I have this exact same issue and can't seem to get it to work. Anyone figured it out?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jholl016:
Same issue with Nokia DT-900

Nexus 4 charges to 70% and then "trickle charges", turning on and off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] presslab:
After a few months, mine would do the same thing. For some reason the "efficiency" of the N4 charging circuit (inside the phone) became somehow worse.

The DT-900 uses a TI bq500410A chip for control of the charging. If it detects too low of efficiency it will cut off. Luckily it's possible to modify this threshold. By removing the resistor connected to pin 43 of the TI chip it allows it to charge regardless of efficiency. It still has temperature protection so I don't think there is any danger.

That is not really a legitimate reason. There is a reason for the post requirement.

The hot plug configuration is set to what the kernel dev believe is optiomal (battery/performance) if by looking in the thread you notice you are the only one withnp that opinion, it would be wise to assume it will not change for 1 user and perhaps you would be better finding a kernel that suits you instead of requesting a change for you.

I'm not requesting a change don't get me wrong I just want to know how to change that (like changing some values in text file located somewhere in the kernel ). Plus the kernel is very very good and I don't want to change it.
