just got an n7. like it a lot but one thing is confusing to me... why do some(actually, a lot) of the tablet specific apps in the play store show as not available to install? example... bank of america has a tablet app but i'm forced to install the phone one instead.

am i missing something obvious?

Search these forums for phablet, Google's odd solution to the bigger than a phone but smaller than a tablet interface. In some ways you get the worse of both worlds instead of the best. The search will turn up all sorts of info on the way folks feel about it.

Isn't there a way to trick the market to give us full tablet apps?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Auke11:
Google for a app called lucky patcher. It can patch play store. Never used it myself. So backup your device.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bsoplinger:
You can just search here at XDA for a useful thread that provides various special versions of the Play Store. You can install one that will force everything to be for a certain dpi value or to ignore dpi or many other options. I have a special version on my Dell Streak that I got from here.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Clumzie:
Hi,

I'm returning my A510 (as the screen is flickering after JB update) and need to remove any trace of rooting.

I was rooted on GB but after OTA to JB superuser.apk is missing and titanium doesn't work etc but su is still there in /system/xbin.

Tried using adb but can't rm su as read only file.

Also tried mounting system (mount -o rw,remount /system) but get "mount: can't execute: permission denied"

Any help gratefully appreciated as I'm stuck!!

Edit: recovery is stock, USB debugging enabled and USB drivers installed
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Hi Clumzie,

Please next time use [A510] in front of your title.

To fully remove root, the simplest thing to do is flash a stock ROM.

You can't remove root because you don't have the permissions.

I think this would work, but it won't remove the root traces all over the system:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Clumzie:
Thanks Tom, I had thought about flashing the original ROM but had hoped I could just delete the root files and keep all my apps and settings etc.

Am I right i thinking (from that thread) I have to install CWM 1st before installing the new stock which will then restore stock recovery?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
I think that could work, but I read somewhere that superuser creates a lot of systemfilescrapbull, but I donno.

This would be the appropriate way. Don't use the commands of the things you already removed.

You can also try to automatically remove root with this tool:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Best way though, is by flasing a stock ROM, just to make sure. The way explained in the thread is indeed based on CWM. However, if it IS a stock stock ROM (which means it's untouched, right from Acer's servers), then you would be able to flash it without CWM. I myself own the A700, so I'm not too sure which keycombination you have to press to go into the flashing mode.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Clumzie:
You're a star, thanks very much.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Any time. That's what forums are for.

Oh, and by the way, the stock stock ROM where I was talking about:

You can grab that from Acer's official website. Took the US version, which contains the WW (worldwide) version:

http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...NIA A&Step3=A510&OS=a09&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6

^ if that doesn't work, go to http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers and navigate to the A510 and the OS tab. It's the second one (304.2 MB).

Hi everyone, i' ve be en looking an answer to my problem from a long time i've looked in almost every related post, but nothing...

When i plug in my phone (to a wall charger or to a pc with ye USB cable) the phone says "charging" but you can leave it liket thar for hours

and nothing happens, i have tried a lot of things :

-make sure the charger is good

-coneccting with diferent cables

-change the rom and kernel (a lot of times)

-even i replace the USB port

But nothing of that seems to work... Have anyone an idea of what culd be the problem?

Thanks a lot

I had a similar problem where I plugged my phone in and it said charging but after half an hour I'd lost 1% I changed to an iPhone plug and the supplied USB cable and this has solved the problem for me (I looked at the micro USB end of the plug and USB and one of the pins in the micro USB was missing from the plug) However you said changed cables and plugs so don't know however issue sounds similar

HI guys, I just received my S3 today, in fact I collected it from the depot because they failed to deliver it yesterday.

The box was sealed and with the security sticker. When I opened it, I saw fingerprints on the front screen protective sticker, and the protective sticker at the back looked like it was removed and reapplied.

I ignored this, but then on closer inspection inside, I saw one of the screws looked like it's broken.

Then the charger that came with it was battered like it was tossed and rolled around a roughflooring.

Good thing though is that the chip is "0xf7" which is considered safe from SDS.

I also just noticed it was "Made in India" the previous ones I had were "made in Korea by Samsung"

Here are pics: (uploading)

broken screw, click image for a large size:

charger:

I bought this from amazon UK market place, seller's name is "Trendsetter Company Limited" A.K.A. "Buy-it-right" - buyers be ware!!!

Luckily, this sale was "dispatched" by Amazon, so amazon will deal with it.

I have re-ordered a new one, which is now sold by Amazon themselves.... only reason I bought from 3rd party seller is that Amazon ran out of stock and it's showing availability within 2-4 weeks on their website, but now it is available.

If this new phone still has the 0xf1 chip, this is it, I had enough.. I will buy another brand of phone.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrich137:
Bought a refurbed 32GB WiFi from sears on Jan 2nd and had no issues except for a screen flicker. I was running a CM10.1 build from around Jan 26th and the latest Motley Kernel.

Yesterday I was using the tablet as usual, but I hadn't charged it in a couple of days

so the battery was getting low. After I got home from work I went to use it but the screen wouldn't come on. I figured the battery had died so I went to charge it, but I never got the powered down battery animation. I've tried holding down all 3 buttons for at least a minute and nothing is happening, and when I connect to my computer I get a USB not recognized error.

I have about one day to return the device to sears with the 30 day warranty, but I just thought I'd check to see if anyone else was able to resolve a similar issue before I do so that I don't lose all of my data, and the fact that if they do get it running again that its rooted and running CM.

Any suggestions, or should I just take it back?

AW: Tablet bricked itself?

One thing I learned from here, is that I never ever should let the nexus 7 run out of juice. Seems to be a death sign..

Jup, take it back.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
Not a death sign.

You just need to let it sit on the charger for about 1/2hr, then it should boot right up. People panic when the device doesn't respond or screens start flashing, but it won't boot and they start mashing buttons and posting about their 'I think I bricked my device'. After a device has run down it might take a long press of the power button to get it to boot and/or sit on the charger for a bit.

Running the battery down should not be confused with the Sleep Of Death (SOD). The fix for an SOD is also a long press of the power button.

My wife and I both have Galaxy S3's, mine from Verizon (Work) and her's AT&T. I'm running the Jelly 'Beans' ROM with Imoseyons 1.8 Lean Kernel and the phone is great with excellent battery life.

What I need for her phone is a stock-looking ROM on the front end with a fast and stable back end with GREAT battery life. She came from an HTC OneX and her only complaint about the S3 is battery life compared to the HTC. I need something that I can flash and forget, doing constant flashes on her phone isn't feasible. So, what's the best ROM and Kernel combo for her?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s8freak:
For battery life and simplicity Liquid Smooth beta with KTOONZ kernel is what I'd run excellent battery life. Its my back up rom. I've had 4% battery drop in five hours. Very fast and stable no glitches at all.

If you want a ROM where you dont need to flash constant updates - stick to a TW based ROM.

CyanogenMod is a pretty good and light rom to start with.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
I don't know if you've made your decision OP, but most of these people recommend TW based roms. I agree with them. AOSP roms are constantly getting updated which is not what you want, so touchwiz based is the way to go. CSRom is an excellent choice and KToon's kernel is superb for battery life in my own experience. Just wanted to let you know that AOSP roms are not really what you should choose if you don't plan on flashing her device a lot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] G-Man.:
Actually, you only have to flash a lot if those updates are important to you. I've been on the same version of tasks 4.1.2 rom for months, no need to update... most of the updates are tiny tweaks and updates, like lockscreen options, and things like that... as long as it's stable and fully functional (which tasks builds are infamous for being) just grab the latest version, flash and forget. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DarthDerron:
At this point 4.2.1 is still in early stages. I would wait a while until most things are fully functional and the only things being worked on are additions and minor minor bugs that don't affect performance to much.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] G-Man.:
I agree, this is why I just moved to tasks 4.2 aokp last night. It's flawless. Everything works fine so long as you follow his directions in the op.

Hi,

I am trying to run blktrace on my Samsung Galaxy S3; and I compiled my own Android ROM from source code found here: git://github.com/Root-Box/platform_manifest.git (it is Android 4.1.2). I have changed certain configurations so that blktrace is included in the ROM. The linux kernel I am using is 3.0.31-CM

However, when ever I try to run blktrace, I got the following error:

BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 failed: 25/Not a typewriter.

After using strace to trace the system call, I found that ioctl on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 with cmd BLKTRACESETUP failed, however I couldn't figure out why.

So I am wondering, did you guys successfully run blktrace on Android; and if so, how did you do that? Also, does anyone has any thoughts on what might went run in my situation?

Thanks a lot.

Suli
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yangsuli:
So I finally figure this out:

1. In order to use blktrace, the kernel has to be compiled with block tracing support

kernel hacking => tracer => enabling IO tracer

CONFIG_BLKDEV_IO_TRACE

I also enabled a few other tracing options just to be safe

2. In order to use blktrace, all cores have to be online

I observed that blktrace could do ioctl for cpu0 successfully, but not for other cores.

Kernel blktrace facility is creating the trace[n] file in sysfs for the n-th online cpu core which blktrace tries to open.

Usually, only cpu0 is online and others are offline.

That's why blktrace failed opening trace[1, 2, 3] and exited.

So cpufreq governor needs to be changed into "performance" mode

After these two tweaks, it is working :)
