Hey all... Can anyone confirm that AVRCP 1.3 is back in 4.3? I installed it on my Nexus 7 before doing my Galaxy Nexus, and it is not passing the meta data to my headunit... Just like 4.2 doesn't. Works fine with 4.1.

Samersh, do you have any new info on the wifi/4.3 issue?

My wifi won't reconnect manually, automatically, after reboot, disconnecting/reconnecting, after wiping dalvik/cache and flashing rom and gapps. The available router is recognized and shows connected, but status bar icon remains on 3G no wifi symbol and no wifi service.. I wouldn't even mention it if it was merely a manual on/off fix... What really stumps me is that it wasn't an issue initially, and happened without making any app/config/ changes to set up ...

Atom, Carbon, Slim +AK / Golden =Bacon, Skittles, and Skulls!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
on stock JWR66V, i noticed a wifi disconnection (when i go out and then return to home, i must enter to wifi in setting to re-connect)

but on stock JWR66Y, this issue was fixed

but i still have this issue in custom roms (i tried carbon and CM 10.2)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Az Biker:
Running slim 4.3 beta 3 for several days with no wifi issue, then yesterday I couldn't even manual connect to wifi... Effectively I have NO wifi, even though when in wifi settings it shows me connected... If it was a bug, wouldn't it have been present from the moment I flashed 4.3? Not two weeks later...

Atom, Carbon, Slim +AK / Golden =Bacon, Skittles, and Skulls!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aquatix:
After installing the OTA to jwr66y, the device doesn't seem to respond to adb anymore (fastboot devices doesn't list it either). Same after fastboot flash system with the factory image. My Nexus tablet works fine.

I've tried disabling and re-enabling Developer Settings, clearing the adb whitelist and such to no avail. Anyone have a clue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
do you have latest adb version??.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aquatix:
Yeah, I've been bitten by that before. Updated earlier today; latest according to the 'android' app. Also, my Nexus 7 2013 connects just fine.

By the way, it can't be Windows drivers, as I'm on Linux.

Thanks for any pointers :)

go to "Data enabled" and tick it, reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JuggaloDroid:
I'm not sure if it's something with your voltages or something else to be perfectly honest. Maybe someone more knowledgeable in that department may be able to help you out with that. You can use Trickster to tweak all that stuff if you're not doing so already.

My advice would be to install Xposed Framework http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 and GravityBox Mod (runs on Xposed Framework) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316070

There is a quick settings toggle in GravityBox to put your phone into deep sleep. This is just a band-aid type measure until you figure out what the actual problem is though.

Hope this helps & good luck:good:

Backup and Restore your applications and their data + your sdcard

​

Backing up your apps and their data and sdcard is an essential process to keep them safe in case something goes wrong with your phone and need to be wiped.

In addition you need to make the backup when flashing new custom roms that need a factory reset before flashing.

There is a lot of apps available on play store that can do the job (Titanium, MyBackup, Helium,....).

But here i would like to show you how to backup and restore your Gnex with a well known method (familiar to many users), using "adb" commands. This method is safe, easy, reliable and works on stock and rooted devices.

First you need to have Android SDK installed in your pc, or download the attached adb zip in first post.

Backup & Restore Apps and Data

​

Backup:

Go to Settings>>>>Developer options and enable "usb debugging".

Connect your device to pc.

Open a cmd (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from OP, and type (ENTER after each command):

adb devices

You must see your device serial number.

adb backup -apk -noshared -all -nosystem

Now look at your device and accept backup process.

Wait until finishing.

This will backup your apps and their data to the pc (a

"backup.ab"

file will be created).

Restore:

Go to Settings>>>>Developer options and enable "usb debugging".

Connect your device to pc.

Open a cmd (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from OP (the

backup.ab

file must be there), and type (ENTER after each command):

adb devices

You must see your device serial number.

adb restore backup.ab

Now look at your device and accept restore process.

Wait until finishing.

This will restore your apps and their data to device.

Backup & Restore sdcard

​

The following processes will backup and restore your whole sdcard, including obb folder, music, pictures, videos,......

Backup:

Go to Settings>>>>Developer options and enable "usb debugging".

Connect your device to pc.

Open a cmd (shift + mouse right click) in "sdk platform" or in the folder downloaded from OP, and type (ENTER after each command):

adb devices

You must see your device serial number.

adb pull /sdcard/ /sdcard/

This command will pull your sdcard (not move or cut) to "c" directory under "sdcard" folder.

This process will take time depending on the size of the sdcard, so be patient.

Restore:

Go to Settings>>>>Developer options and enable "usb debugging".

Connect your device to pc.

Open a cmd (shift + mouse right click) where the "sdcard" folder is located in your pc , and type (ENTER after each command):

adb devices

You must see your device serial number.

adb push sdcard /sdcard/

This command will push the "sdcard" to your device.

This process will take time depending on the size of the sdcard, so be patient.​

Odin Mode (Try mounting a stock yakju maguro 4.3 and reboot but apparently made ​​no changes).

I can not enter fastboot mode or recovery.

I can only enter the stock odin mode but I've used have not worked.

and also try to change the firmware but no new changes

neither cell delete anything after flashing with odin

Re: [Ref] Galaxy Nexus 4.2.1 tips & tricks with important info to know

When you force stop google service framework and clear data, play store will stop. But once you enter to play store or gmail, google service will restart. This step above can not give result in some countries due to the timetable that google put in order to push ota update. Usually takju's build receive ota update before other builds.
