Hi, I've just bought a Gemei G9T tablet from china. It's a rooted set, but it hangs frequently whenever i start it. The version is 4.0.4. Any idea how to rectify it? I've searched in this forum but nothing comes close to a solution. Thanks.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cbasse:
I saw something mentioned about this somewhere on the Prime forums, but for the life of me I can't find where it was...

I'm currently on Hairy Bean 1.51, but have recently tried Energy, JellyBeer, and BlackBean. Somewhere along the way I now have what appears to be a duplicate storage directory, labelled sdcard/0. It looks like it has all the same folders as the original sdcard directory. Which should I be using? I'm considering just copying everything over to the original folder - is that OK to do?

Thanks for any help!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
That's the way the file system has to be set up for multiple profiles on 4.2 (JellyBeer, BlackBean). It really shouldn't have done anything but make TWRP not see back ups. The newest version of TWRP fixes that though.

your x,go is ori set or ap set?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LG_fuad92:
Of course it's ori.

Well I've been using it and lets just say at least it wouldn't lag compare to .10

At least I can just let the phone run on without restarting. The .10 was like a total junk, after 24 hours I have to restart it no matter if I used something like v6 supercharger. At least now I am satisfied.:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] theJerry:
Never receive update

my x.go is using android version 4.0.4 with build number 6.1.1.b.1.10. I have updated the phone once but i never receive the 6.1.1.b.1.54 or did I already updated it without knowing. How to be sure of the kernel or update version.

Thanks for considering....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LG_fuad92:
Check the build number again, if you want to update just go to the update centre.

I have a galaxy nexus right now and I'm getting the 4 tomorrow. I no longer use my laptop and I gave it to my sister.

I am wondering if having an n7 will be worth it? Can someone using both devices comment?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurael:
Well I have been using a One X running CyanogenMod 10.1 alongside an N7. The Nexus gets used more because I find it more pleasant browsing the web on the larger display and a lot of games are much easier. I bricked my HOX and have a Nexus 4 on order but I can't see why the situation would change with a slightly faster phone... I never find the Nexus 7 slow running Codefire. In fact, the N7 at 1.5GHz running this ROM out benches a stock Nexus 4 in most web-type benchmarks like Vellamo anyway (and you'd expect Vellamo to have a Qualcomm bias lol)

I have a GS3 and a Nexus 7. I just got my Nexus 4 last week. I will be switching between the Nexus 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S3. I use the Nexus 7 when traveling and home.

While I love the GS3 as I am running AOKP by Task650 on it, I wanted to see how the N4 was. Loved it right away except the camera sucks compared to the GS3. I'm on AT&T with LTE on the GS3 so the speeds already missing on the N4. The screen on the N4 blows the the GS3 out the water. I set about 10 different wallpapers on both phones at the same times and N4 beats the GS3 easily.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sna66:
My sis has an s3 and my gf has an s2 the camera in those phones is awesome compared to all other mobiles. I was hoping that the 8mp in the n4 would be as good,I guess not. But I love pure android and the idea of an unlocked Google branded device.

I found an n7 for 250 so I'm thinking about getting it. I have T-Mobile and I have a hot spot that I pay for and don't use so I was gonna use the sim card in the n7 in that will work... So I won't even have to tether.. Always on since I'm paying for it and will have to pay to break contract I might as well use it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skillfulshoe:
I use an N4, N7, and a chromebook. Although the N7 is fine with web browsing and such, I do like using a track pad and physical keyboard from my chromebook to type longer things. But you should be fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurael:
The camera in my One X was remarkably good for a phone aside from the fact the default sharpening was a bit aggressive and it tended to overexpose unless you notice and set compensation. I'm expecting the Nexus 4 to be a big downgrade camera-wise (smaller sensor and less bright lens = inevitable misery) but it's not like I have a shortage of 'real' cameras.

But on the original subject; I really love my Nexus 7. I wasn't totally sure how much I'd use a tablet, already having a 4.7" phone with the same hardware but I'm so glad I went for it. I use it all the time while watching TV and around the house. Plus, it's small and light enough that I often have it with me when I'm out and about. I think it was the size and weight of my friends iPad which made me think I wouldn't want a tablet in the first place. Yet at the same time, it'll probably save me money in the long term because my stupidly over the top dual monitor PC is getting used a lot less for trivial tasks and I shudder to think what it costs me to run in electricity.

Edit: I was going to comment on the hardware too. It's great! It feels ridiculously fast with the right ROM and kernel and not at all bad running stock 4.2... Feels really well built. The screen is good, although it doesn't have the contrast and perhaps over saturation of the One X screen (to which I'd imagine the Nexus 4s is similar based on what I've read in reviews.) Battery life is really good, I've got past ten hours screen on with browsing and video watching. I really can't believe how good it is for the price. It's definitely my favourite Android device so far.

I'll add to the list of N7 + N4 users.

I just got my N4 last week and I love it. I've had the n7 since last year (pre-ordered it). Love both of them.

N7 is better for videos, Internet, and reading in general. I like the bigger screen.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datsun.510:
I've had both Nexus 4 & 7 since release. Since getting the 4, my 7 doesn't get as much use anymore. I play around on the 4 all the time and the screen is large enough for most things. Browsing, games, and other things are easier to do on the 7. Sometimes I'm talking on the phone and I'll use my 7 to browse the net or whatever. A laptop might be better for other things since you have a keyboard to type but its not as portable. I can fit my 7 in the pockets of my pants, shorts, and jackets. So portability is key here. The 4 & 7 are both awesome devices. If a larger screen was important to you, then a 10in. tablet might me an idea.

Hope this helps.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I have both and I don't use my N7 as much as I did before my N4, but it still gets used. It's better to watch video (larger screen obviously) and to browse the web. But I use my N4 for gaming and for quick checks on stuff because it's always on me whereas the N7 might be in another room.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nebucatnetzer:
I first had a Gnex and the Transformer Infinity because I thought I wouldn't need a 7" tablet.

When I recently bought an N7 because I wanted to try it because it's not that expensive.

Now I wish I bought it earlier it's really handy for reading and commuting because I don't need to carry a backpack just for my tablet.

At home I prefer the Infinity though because the screen is better and because of the dock.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrix0886:
N4 and N7 owner here. I use my N4 whenever i'm out for navigation and keeping up with tech stories while on my lunch break at work. My N7 mainly stays at home, though, and has permanently replaced my alarm clock (better control of brightness, night time mode, more soothing alarms rather than heart attack inducing sounds, lol).

The only time I really take it out is when going to the doctor, DMV, whenever i'm on a plane or to the car shop for a tune up or whatever, in which case I use it for watching videos and keeping up with my favorite tech article sites.

The N7 was my first Nexus device, and second Android device. My first Android device turned me off of Android, but I gave the N7 a shot (preordered) and next thing you know, i'm sitting here playing with both an N7 and N4 swearing allegiance to Android and to Nexus devices, lol.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTHM:
I have a N7, an Asus Transformer Infinity and have just received my N4. I seem to use each for different tasks. The Infinity with its keyboard and trackpad is great for office stuff (emailing, docs, etc.), forums and is also good for cooking too as the screen is large and held upright. It's also fab for watching videos and streaming music from, when you can put it down in its dock but I find it becomes too cumbersome and heavy for general web surfing, FB, most gaming, reading ... the list goes on. No, when it comes to doing stuff where it's necessary to keep the device in hand I historically have taken to using my N7 as it's much more comfortable and the screen is brilliant for those uses.

Prior to my N4 I had a NS which had become too slow and frustrating for anything so got used for little more than texting, tethering, phone calls and music. It couldn't even cope with navigation reliably. As my N4 is so new to me and so capable it hasn't cut its niche in my range of devices yet. Navigation on my way to work this morning it behaved perfectly so that's a good start and swiping this post on the 4.2 keyboard isn't a hardship at all.

I have both devices and I barely use the Nexus 7. I leave it at home. At wotk I have an iPad2 so is a bigger screen, I just finished college and my past semester were online courses so I had little use for it. Even at home I use my computer or laptop more than the tablet.

I use it mostly for music while in the shower, skype, and reading manga when i dont feel like turning on the pc.

Unless you ahve an specific use for it I would advise you to skip it. There are rumors of a newer version anyways.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
I have both devices and I love them both.

I bought a Nexus 7 first. It was my first tablet and I love it! When the Nexus 4 came out I had to get one...2 months later.

Before I got my nexus 4, I was using my iPhone 4 and before that I was using several Android devices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chancy319:
I have an Nexus 4 and a Nexus 7 and a Galaxy Nexus (retired). I use my Nexus 4 more because, well, it's a cell phone so it's always on me. However, in school, I use my Nexus 7 more because the bigger screen is better for browsing, reading my books (ebooks), typing up quick papers (Bluetooth keyboard) etc.

When I get home, I rarely even bring my N7 out of my bag except to charge it. I switch over to my laptop.

In summary, it all depends on your usage. I use mine for school and I love it. It makes my book bag so much more lighter as I don't have to carry my laptop to school or heavy textbooks. I like it and will keep it for a long time until a better 7 inch or a worthy successor is released.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchea:
I have both 4 and 7. The 4 replaced a very much appreciated GNex that took a drop resulting in a cracked screen. The 7 will do OTG (rooted, at least) but no HDMI so I can load up a 64GB flash drive and watch videos but only on the device itself. It will do ethernet if I need it. The 4 won't do OTG (therefore no ethernet) but has an option for the HDMI through Slimport. Neither has a "user-replaceable" battery. The GNex did OTG, HDMI out, and ethernet connection through OTG. Battery is replaceable. For versatility, the GNex wins, IMO; however, the N4 is a faster, smoother device. again, IMO, and I get a much better cell signal on the 4. I do like the easy NFC transfer between the devices. Tethering from the N4 is the same as from the GNex--easy and effective except that I'm on Straight Talk so I limit that as well as streaming (which is why I prefer the OTG device for my vids).

I bought the N7 to use as a reader. It does well in that area. I can read from either phone, too, but prefer a larger display for long-term reading. I had been using a 10" Toshiba Thrive for over a year. Nothing can replace that--so far, but the screen was a little large for books, and it didn't work outside as well as the N7 (N4 seems to do well outdoors) plus it is heavy for toting around. It does everything (a little slower)--has full-size sd card; full-size HDMI out; accepts all usb devices; AND, the battery can be replaced easily.

I really like each device despite its short-comings. I've never regretted the $200. I spent on the N7 (or the $$ for any of my devices). I wouldn't want to be without it. None of the devices replaces my PC, though.

Yes, but if your n key is not working, I'm not sure this will work. Just hold power and n at the same time while booting. It should go directly to recovery.

You should also be able to boot to recovery from inside CM10 or PA by using the power off menu. After you select reboot, a second menu comes up to ask if normal reboot or reboot to recovery.

Thank you for reply

n key works in rom itself, so I assume it should work when nook starts. When nook starts and push n key, nook displays "loading menu" and that is it.

Any other ideas?

It could be that cyanoboot is corrupted. Reflash the PA rom.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Be very careful about wiping /boot. If you do, be sure to flash a new ROM before you reboot. You can mess yourself up good if you don't. Another thing to try is my partition repairs in my partition thread linked in my signature. But if you do that you lose you media files, so back them up. That will fix boot. Do the 145678 zip.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] pnbalaji:
Hi,

I bought a samsung exhibit II 4g from walmart last year. The phone was not very responsive for the past couple of months and hence I contacted T-Mobile customer support. They provided me the instructions to upgrade the firmware on my phone and I tried that with Samsung Kies. It is one of the worst software I have ever seen in my life. The firmware upgrade stalled at 3% and the only option I had was to take the battery out of the phone. Then when I turned on my phone, I got a message saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue". I tried to fix it samsung kies and it did not work. My phone was not working for 3 days when I was doing the research to fix it.

Finally, I followed the Exhibit Wiki on xda-developers (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2131576) and followed the ODIN method to install the custom ROM (I could see that it is the latest firmware for this phone). Everything worked on the third try, but Wi-Fi was not. When I clicked on Wi-Fi from settings, it displays "Error" under it. I tried Wi-Fi fixer, but it did not help.

I tried a factory reset and that did not help too.

Can some one help me? I need to get Wi-Fi working on my phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lindseyh:
So last week I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S2 from GB 2.3.3 to ICS 4.0.3 via kies. My battery life was pretty terrible after that so I did a factory reset by going into settings and doing it from there. The battery life improved a bit. Its good when I'm not using it, but as soon as I start using it the battery goes down about 1-2% per minute, which drains the battery really fast. I've already re-calibrated the battery but I dont know if I did it right. It was at about 40%, I turned it off, plugged it in until 100%, then unplugged it and took the battery out for 3 mins and put it back in, which I dont think really did anything. Was I supposed to let the battery drain completely? I've seen some people say thats bad and some people say it's okay so I'm kind of confused. I've also been trying to wipe the cache but I havent figured out how to do it. I've done the whole vol up + home + power but it takes me into a downloading screen that stays there until I have to take the battery out to reset it. I have all the stock equipment on my phone (I've seen people mention rooting/roms/kernels but I have no clue what those are). My screen is at the lowest brightness setting but still seems to eat about 45% of my battery with a black background, with android OS around 30-40%., everything is set to unsync, all emails are set to get mail manually, and data and wifi are off unless being used.

Is there anything else I can do to improve the battery?
