[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rene5877:
Hello all,

i've found a little problem with my nexus 7 tablet and im wondering if im the only one or if this is a general thing:

Android 4.2.1 allows multiple users and gives these users some sort of emulated memory (which is a clone/shortcut to the 'real' storage(?)). When i connect my nexus to my computer and create a folder 'Document' and put a document 'Document1.docx' in there, i can see these on my tablets (using a file explorer and officesuite pro). This seems to work fine.

However, when i open officesuite pro, i see the files i would see on my computer, but when i create a new document 'document2.docx', and reconnect my nexus to my computer, it does NOT show up in Documents (nor anywhere else).

I think the following is happening: the emulated memory is a 'clone' of my normal sd card, so when i connect the nexus to the pc and create a folder in windows, it will get 'cloned' and therefor visible in the emulated memory assigned to me. However, when i go to the filemanager on the tablet the memory shows as emulated memory, and so when i save a document on the tablet it ends up in the emulated memory. And for some reason this emulated memory is NOT copied back to the main memory drive.

Can someone confirm this, or check if the same is happening to them? If not, does anyone have a solution to fix this? I would like to create documents on the tablet and be able to connect the tablet to the pc and see the files i created (yes i know google drive/dropbox is an easy option, but im wondering why this method is not working...).

Thanks in advance!

p.s. this is not just a problem that occurs with officesuite pro, this also happens with other applications (for example i dloaded an e-book reader that created a folder 'eBooks' which appeared in my emulated memory, but not when i connect the device to my pc). do you guys reckon the applications are to blame, that they might not be made for android 4.2.1 and therefor bug a bit (which would be pretty odd imo)? or is this an actual android thing, since my download actually DO appear on my pc.

i want to now what rom is better the AOKP or Stock ICS and what are the positive sides and non positives ???
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearkillerr:
For me TouchWiz, cuz Stable, everything work, all S Pen stuff work, can run more Video Codecs, and just beautiful :)

AOSP etc are nice, but many many bugs. untill they get solved, stay away
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
personal preference.

Even though Samsung is bloated, their newest touchwiz roms for note will have mad multitask abilities, the hardware probably will be left wanting a bit, but its truly innovating! Cant wait.

Aokp, is as intended(if they get the stuff working with closed sources) by Google :)

Samsung is doing some awesome stuff with the touchwizz.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moisesfco:
definitely touchwiz, samsung is doing well.

I'd say it goes back to personal preference as well.

But yeah in general stock is more stable and practically has more features. I personally prefer stock.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Aokp offers more customization than touchwiz. It is not as stable as tw. performance may be lower than that of tw.

I use anything that is non-tw.

AW: aokp vs touchwizz

Aokp because it looks nicer and it is faster
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbobb:
And which of the aosp/aokp/pa roms is the most full-featured at the moment? Specifically, I've heard none of them supports hdmi out - is that correct?

Hi all - I am currently using CyanogenMod based ROM's as I really dislike Sammy ROM. I currently tether a lot and wanted to find a tethering manager type app where I could see who was connected and perhaps if possible some more details.

Is there anything like this around? Can't find a decent app. Cheers

Whats your way of keeping your nexus 7 battery healthy? I wanna keep it as healthy as I can for as long as possible. Nothing irritates me more than having a battery lose its charge faster and faster every day. Just to be clear im not asking how to prolong battery usage between charges; I'm asking how to keep it from losing its charge quicker and quicker when the power usage is relatively the same. One thing I do know is once it the battery hits 100% to take it off the charger. One thing i have heard is try not to let the battery dip below 50% and rarely let it completely discharge but I have also heard to ALWAYS let it die out by completely discharging. Feel free to add to the myths, folklore but preferably facts on how to keep the battery healthy and holding its charge very well
[Nexus 7 General] l33ch0r:
N7 has Lithium polymer battery, right?

Well then read about it :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_polymer_battery

But from what I heard: rather charge it then let it drain below 30%, don't let it charge too long, and so on - probably the same stuff you heard or read yourself :)

but that's something that upsets me: no chance to replace the battery. Used my DHD for 2 years and after those 2 years the battery was just ****ty. Replaced it, works like a charme. On N7 or TF300T there's no chance to replace the battery. Right now I'm using TF300T very often when I'm not at home, so even with dock and tablet it'll most probably go below 20%...well if that's bad for my battery, then I don't know what to do if it doesn't last an entire day :-/ (though that'll take some time) ;)
[Nexus 7 General] jonny68:
Certainly I wouldn't let the Nexus battery completely drain but maybe down to 5 % then fully charge
[Nexus 7 General] roor1337:
You can change the battery on the nexus 7. Its actually relatively easy and simple to do so. I havent had the need to replace it but I did have to disconnect it. Just pop off the back with your choice of apparatus. I used a small flat head that i could wedge between the sides but a guitar pick is another popular choice. Then just disconnect the wire and take the battery out! no screws just slight pressure holding it in. right here is a guide with pictures showing it step by step.
[Nexus 7 General] Leonhan:
What I would do is time my charges. In my experience, my Nexus 7 gets fully charged in 2 and a half hours from 20% battery. I then take it out immediately so that in won't get hot(sometimes it does, and also to save energy.:good:) And also, if after 3 days my battery is still 50% or above, I drain it to 20% then charge since Li-ions tend to not want to get not drained often.xD
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Charge early and often and keep out of extreme temperatures. It boils down to that.

If you can, charge it nightly. Try to avoid discharging below 20%.

And a little myth busting... There is no need for you to manage its charging cycle, it will do that itself. Charging a LiIon/LiPoly battery partially is NOT a "charge cycle".

If you're actively using your Nexus 7, just charge it as often as is reasonable, nightly should be just fine. If you're NOT using it for an extended period of time, discharge it to 50%, turn it completely off and store it in a cool (20c/70f range) location.
[Nexus 7 General] fushla:
AW: Tips on keeping the N7 battery healthy

?! i was told i should drain it under 20% more often -.- oh well, my battery is going to be the first dying :D
[Nexus 7 General] rcarnes911:
The battery's are $20 for a new one so as long as it lasts a year I don't mind buying another one. In another question has any one bought a replacement battery yet? And if so does the charge last about the same as stock?

Sign up to Dropbox using my signature and we both get an extra 500megs free http://db.tt/YZjXmjTT
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Nope, that was NiCad information, LONG LONG AGO. LiIon/LiPo, charge early and often.

Okay.. Since I did everything wrong with charging...

Is it okay to reboot the device while charging? Or is it bad for my battery.. :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] cognus:
Looking for a link or list or something: What apps in the stock 4.0.4 SGH-T879 ROM can be uninstalled safely on a rooted handset?

I've already hit a couple, like the abortive Lookout Security thing, and AOK so far, but I'm timid. Already have my nandroid backup stashed.

anyone develop such a hitlist ?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
I have a question and was wondering if the already helpful community would enlighten me and tell me why when I am currently on clean rom 5.5.1 my imei number matches what it says at the back of phone behind the battery but when I flash other ones and check status it displays a number no where near my number but I can't say that I had any service issues? Is it something to worry about or is it nothing I currently have a back up of my efs with the andromizer app but even when I go to restore it after a clean flash that strange number still remains

Any one have input or comments I would love to listen and see what you guys have experienced considering I an an amateur at best
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Well how much does your IMEI vary on these roms? Which type of roms does your IMEI change: AOSP JB 4.2, AOSP JB 4.1, or TW JB? More specifically, which roms has it changed? Your IMEI is 15 digits, does it just change to 14 digits or does it change entirely? If you're only missing the 15th digit (the very last one) then you won't notice any significant issues.

Idk anything about Andromizer but if it backs up the five partitions that comprise our IMEI like how the VZW GSIII Comprehensive IMEI Backup thread describes then I don't see any harm in restoring yours through Andromizer when you notice your IMEI is altered. Being that idk anything about it besides its Play Store description, I can't speak on how effective it is in restoring your IMEI.

Also, when you say you don't notice any issues. How are you checking? When your IMEI completely changes, do you make calls or send texts? Do you receive either? Its easier to tell you're affected if you make calls/texts after it has changed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MIKEYSAKZ:
Yes I have both sent calls and texts and vice versa and the number is completely different in the status section of my phone number for number it's different mine starts with 9900

And like for instance when I clean flashed galaxy mod rl15 it shows a number in status that begins with the letter A
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Your IMEI began with an "A" at one point? That's really unusual and I haven't read anything about that. I did a search through the GalaxyMod thread and didn't see anything that stood out beyond numerous 14 digit posts which is the same for each rom that includes Multiwindow. 14 digit IMEI or an iMEI that is 0 are about the only things I've read anywhere but maybe someone else can chime in on that or maybe not.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tarequzzaman:
I have this xperia mini that shows no network signal. It was doing just fine before that. Meaning i didn't drop it or hit it on the floor. I have a Rooted ICS Firmware properly installed on it. The network just wont come. I have tried flashing and rooting several times. I am just stuck now.

Any kind of suggestion will be appreciated.

Ps: I have tried using different sim, the result is still the same. Sims are all ok btw.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
Btw did u try flashing different basebands?

Press THANKS if I helped,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tarequzzaman:
Yep. i did. but that didn't seem to have any effect either.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ctragas:
Try to flash another kernel (like MESA Hybrid v3.5) via FastBoot and reboot once or twice if needed. If you decide to flash MESA Hybrid don't forget to flash via CWM the appropriate support pack (stock in your case) just after flashing.;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Tarequzzaman:
This one is also not working :(

What's the deal with my contacts disappearing? Apparently there's a problem with google syncing my contacts but are they not backed up on the phone? Any ideas how I can get them back? They are in google contacts online but are not syncing to my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tbodner:
I had this same problem as well, not sure how to fix it. It would sync about 3 or 4 of my contacts. Luckily I made a .vcf backup of my contacts before I installed a new rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HeadlessPonch:
I just had about 30 contacts disappear from my phone Wed night. I didn't jump online to see if they still existed in gmail before trying to sync my phone with Google. I didn't get them back on the phone and they were gone from my online contacts, but I did add the verizon shortcuts! Luckily I was able to restore contacts in Google from last week (2 and 3 days old didn't work for some reason). They immediately showed back up on the phone too.

I know I didn't do anything that would have caused this.

Hello! I am a repair tech and I have a Samsung T999 Galaxy S III here and when I try to make calls on it a message pops up saying "Not registered on network" and I'm just wondering if there is a fix? I am using a valid SIM card and it works in other phones I have here.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
Being a tech and all I am sure you already checked your APN settings and EMEI correct?

Has the phone ever worked, and if so what were you doing when it stopped working?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] haoleflip:
The APN settings currently in the phone are below. I don't know the exact settings, but will definitely look it up unless someone can tell me if what they see is correct? I checked the IMEI with T-Mobile and it doesn't have any bad history. The phone worked when I first bought it from a customer, but now that I am trying to sell it, any SIM card I put in there gives me the error.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tgamble160:
Is the imei still there in settings/about phone/ status? Did you root it or flash anything since it quit working? I know you checked the emei with tmobile but did you get it from the phone or the phone box?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] haoleflip:
I run a business and we buy used phones, etc. for resale. I just bought it from a customer the other day and I do not know the complete history of the device, but it is stock. The phone worked with SIM card in the phone upon purchasing, but now a week later when I am trying to sell it, it is giving me that error. I got the IMEI from settings/about phone/status.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
If you're sure it worked when it was sold to you, and IMEI is in contact, and you're using a T-Mobile SIM...it's very likely he conned you for whatever reason or that HE STOLE the phone, and the owner called T-Mobile to blacklist the IMEI and you're no longer able to connect.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
A word of advice before buying a android from someone ask about the original box and when it was bought maybe a receipt if possible. If that person gives you the run around and looks fishy don't buy the phone. Now you got a paper weight and its a win-win for seller since he's really not losing anything. Check if the EMEI matches from the battery on the back of the phone to the number on status of a phone. You can try using Odin as a last ditch effort to stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] haoleflip:
But I have already checked with T-Mobile and the IMEI that the phone is reading is not blocked or reported lost or stolen. I spoke to two different reps because I was skeptical about the first answer I got. I am going to try to reload stock to see if that fixes anything.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mustk1ll20:
T-Mobile s3 will only work on whatever tower the SIM is for. Say you put a T-Mobile SIM in the phone is useless with out a T-Mobile tower. Same happens if you put a at&t SIM.

I've had 3 galaxy s3 phones and my brother has had a few as well. ALL do the same thing yours does. It just doesn't roam on any other tower then what the SIM is for. and even T-Mobile techs couldn't figure out why. Contacted Samsung about the issue and nothing ever came of it.

Do a manual search for networks. If your using a T-Mobile SIM look for there tower. If you don't see it there's your problem.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ridobe:
Unfortunately, that doesn't matter. It's what happens after that that matters. What needs to be asked is "is this phone on a EIP" (installment plan). If so, then it could easily be blacklisted by the seller stopping the payments. This just happened to me. The sale date and the blacklist date were 2 months apart. So, ebay and paypal were NOT interested in helping me since it was beyond 45 days. My credit card company took over. I got my money back and they went after the seller.

The bigger scam that caused T-Mobile to start blacklisting is people getting a phone for $199 on a two year deal, then selling it for $650 and never making a payment.

edit: the error "Not Registered on Network" is the error I got that prompted me to call T-Mobile only to find out I had been blacklisted. It was the second level tech that got me that information. He knew right away.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] haoleflip:
I know it's not an issue with towers as I have a bunch of other T-Mobile phones here that work just fine with the same SIM.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doorbolt:
Really new to this, I just got my tablet about a week ago. I've rooted, though when I tried to install CWM it went into a bootloop. I let it charge over night and when I woke up it was back to normal (yay). This morning I decided to have another go at CWM so I tried a factory reset however it went back into a bootloop. I tried searching for how to flash a stock rom but no avail as to a clear step by step process, however I've found the stock rom though its just an update.zip, I dont really know how to use it with odin. Could somone explain to me where to go from here?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidshadow:
give this a try...

Can you at least boot into download mode?

If you can then you will be able to flash the Samsung official firmware using Odin. Here is a link to help you out.

http://droidviews.com/2012/update-s...h-official-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-firmware/

That will show you how to install the official jelly bean update.

After you hopefully get jelly bean installed you can root the tablet using the CF-Autoroot exploit. Here is a link to help you out with that

http://m.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galaxytab2-p5113-android41-jellybean-android404-ics-424667.html

Okay...now if that does not work look into flashing CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly this will update you to android 4.2 the newest jelly bean update and you get to keep your tablet rooted. You can find out how to do that here on this forum or by a simple Google search. I use it and its great!

Hope it helps...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bert336:
Just curious to know if developers think the note is that bad? I am surprised that at this time with a totally unlocked Note there is only 4 give or take ROMs available for us, which in reality only 2 are kept up to date.

Yet, i browsed the T-mobile section and there are more than a handful with constant updating....

I know one of the main reasons is the price of the Note, developers do this for free and to obtain a note it obviously cost money...but is that the only reason?

What are your thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] broprah:
nope
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
My thoughts are that there are already three or me threads complaining about the development. We don't need more, build your own ROM if you think we need more.

Also, learn to count. There are 3-4 TW ROMs, and Eclipse will be dropping soon. They're are also multiple AOSP ROMs (liquid smooth, beans, AOKP, official cm10.1 to name a few)

Sent from my SCH-I605 (AKA NOTE 2)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DROID76:
I thought the same when I bought my s3 and it picked up. I just upgraded to the note2 and like that scottsroms and beans are available. They are solid builds and there are plenty of mods that are available to accent those. There are more coming from what I understand so be patient. I think the biggest problem for us is verizon messing with our bootloader all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tdrussell:
Keep in mind, VZW was the last carrier to release the note2. That, coupled with the fact that with the exception of the gnex, a lot of the top tier unlockable bootloader devices are on other carriers...

It continues to improve and the phone has only been around for ~3 months.

t0ltecdma getting official cm10.1 is a huge step in the right direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bert336:
Well no need to start with the insults...i said "4 give or take" . The 2 roms that i said are kept up to date from what i found is CleanROM and Beans, (ok there may be AOKP and others) but i am attached to TW and i have used both and have no complaints, but i am like the majority of the members here, i like to try different roms here and there nothing wrong with that, right?.

If i knew how or had the time to build a ROM i would, unfortunately i don't so i let the professionals do the nasty work, I am not demanding the devs to hurry up, it was just a simple question to try to get my self educated on the lack of devs for the note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bert336:
I fully understand, i was just curious to know as i had the S3 since release, and as soon as the bootloader got unlocked the Development of it went higher.
