[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] livingaboard:
what recovery are you using? Stock, twrp, etc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] planoman:
Stock. Just rooted to get rid of bloatware. Rooted using the exynos abuse exploit and then unrooted with it. Stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] livingaboard:
So you do not have the original at and t apps/files that came with the phone? I have read that if certain apps are not detected during an update that the update will fail. I don't know which apps that might be. If you are stuck on getting the OTA to work on a stock rom, then maybe a complete wipe and reset might work as well as replacing the stock rom completely.

I'm no expert for sure on this so hopefully you will get an answer that is easier to perform
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theonewhowas:
I've used the aosp/cm versions on a lot of phones. S2 gnote s3 and I loved it. The g note was a hard sell but the functions weren't that great stock rom so I really liked the paranoid Android aosp. Now with the note 2... I've found the stock rom to be very smooth and feature rich. I am sure the aosp rom improves upon the performance as it always does, but you do kinda cripple the features a bit. I love the spen functionality so I'm not too keen on switching.

This is just my 2 cents. I do agree you should give aosp a try it as it does open new features and customizations. But there is always something that you'll miss or some weird bug.

I used to be a big rom-a-holic so I can understand the curiosity. Just remember Titainium backup and twrp/recovery backups are your friend and a good way to restore should you not like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] planoman:
Yes I have them backed up on Titanium Back up. I uninstalled them and put them on my SD card not deleted them. I guess I could reinstall them but that would be nuts. I might just go to clean ROM SE for ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] slicingtaco:
Your correct also that applies if you have modified the stock files in anyway (replaced them). Any official OTA checks the SHA-1 hash tags (similar to MD5 hash tag) within almost every file under the root partition (/system, /recovery, etc...). And all must match the expected SHA-1 hash or you will get Error 7 which looks like this.

I would try restoring these files by a nandroid or Titanium if you did. You can read more about this HERE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] planoman:
I had uninstalled 12 to 14 att bloatware apps and backed them up with Titanium Backup. I rerooted and reinstalled them all (ouch) and then unrooted. I will try the update again tomorrow.

If it does not work I will flash back to stock image using the Galaxy Note toolkit here:

Yes i do, HERE put it under the /cache and flash the update with the stock recovery (or custom recovery). Good luck i've been through this once (successfully) and i don't plan on doing so again. Let me know if there's any other way i can help.

Is it safe to flash this update using CWR? If not then how do go back to stock recovery? I can't find the AT&T stock recovery anywhere.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eyeconic:
I know infinitely more about Linux than I will ever really understand about Android due to the proprietary nature of Android hardware.

Having said that, I have tried both Gingerbread and ICS modifications to my U8800-51 and have come to the conclusion that this device was manufactured for Froyo and works best on Froyo. Signal strength is better, WiFi reception is better and music sound quality is far superior.

In downgrading I gave up a few applications that required GB or better. Nothing critical.

Since I am retired, I have had the time to play around. The best solution (for me) is achieved with AWD launcher. I am also using the ICS keyboard app. Your mileage may vary.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
The cm10 by Ivan has the best WiFi and call reception than froyo.

as the title says, I think I just bricked my allview alldro speed with the z4root :|. After the "permanent" root, nothing happened, no root "made", and tried the "unroot" button, after that, nothing worked, rebooted it, and since then, every time I start it, the "Memory total" = 0, and it's like a factory reset is made every time.. :(

what should I do..? tried the "Livesuit" and "PhoenixUSBPro" or something like that, but everytime I connect the device in vol+ (+) power with the usb, both apps stay in the "not responding" mode on windows xp..

Looks great!I will try do something with my old lego :P
[Nexus 7 Accessories] br0adband:
That's definitely AWESOME, any way you put it together (or take it apart). Outstanding job, and you matched the colors more or less as best you could, just even MORE AWESOME.

Makes me want to go hit up a thrift store looking for some Lego blocks now. ;)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ynrozturk:

Re: Lego stand I made for my Nexus

I'd find 2 men to stick under the rails. Make them pose with arms up, like they're holding the machine up.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] br0adband:
Now the obligatory request:

Let's see a proper teardown and inventory of the pieces and an assembly video... MUAHAHAHAHA :D

Seriously though, I would like to get a list of the parts if possible or a breakdown, some of those I can't quite make out. Hell man, you need to make a kit of this thing and start making a profit, maybe even Jerry-rig it with a cradle at the bottom with 4 pogo pins in it and the microUSB and audio jacks, I'm sure it would be a popular item.

So many good ideas, I swear. If some company can make and charge $50 for a piece of wood wrapped in cloth as a Nexus 7 case, surely you could make some ducats with such a thing...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Westeim:
This. Is. Awesome. Without any other words. Seconded for an assembly video, if you ever get a chance.

Re: Lego stand I made for my Nexus

Cool design! I might "borrow" some Legos from my nephew and try to make one as well. Can't believe no one thought about it before.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nexus7Coogee:
Thanks. Brilliant. And here I am 20 euro poorer buying a case and stand online.

Have just given me the perfect idea to keep my 6 year old son occupied for the weekend using his abundant star wars and batman Lego sets. I don't think I will video the endeavours - to painful for forum I expect - but if he accepts the challenge will share photos.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] igerup:
He he, awesome. I have some Lego lying around too, I might do a stand tomorrow. :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] RipRapRob:
Thanks!

Thanks you guys, for the overwhelming response. I really appreciate it :o)

@daryllh: I acually had two Lego men underneath (a Storm Trooper and something else) but they kept falling off when I bumped the stand. Plus they collided with the all grey theme, so I took them off.

@bsoplinger: The 3 bits on each side is actually the one half of a hinge (like the hinges I use to get the angle of the slope. They are only on there for the looks: I had no 2x3 pieces in grey, and the only 2x1 (without the hinge part) I had, was in also in a non grey color.

If more of you want me to, I'll do a video showing how it's assembled and what parts I use.

But if I were to purchase the parts, I would choose other bricks in a few places. For example, in the upper corners (under the part where the N7 rests) I've used regular (thick) 8x2 pieces because I had no 'flat' tiles (1/3 height) in 8x2.

Thanks again :cool:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] br0adband:
YES WE WANT A TEARDOWN VIDEO. :D

Any info would be greatly appreciated as I would seriously go looking for some Lego blocks/kits to build one of these myself. It's just so unique and not even something that I - and apparently pretty much everyone else but you, RipRapRob, realized "Hey, I got an idea for something with Lego blocks and my Nexus 7..." :)

So definitely, a teardown or parts breakdown video would be absolutely welcome and appreciated so I can get the same blocks myself.

Hi All,

Im trying to update a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 Wifi from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. Unfortunately FOTA/Kies doesn't work and i can't use odin. (Don't ask)

I have tried using the offical rom from Sam Mobile on an SD card to use the "apply update from external storage" option in the Android System Recovery menu however this always returns an error about signature validation.

Any ideas on how i can get around or fix this error?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parodyuk:
Anything...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peare:
I understand that you are rooted. Probably thats why the signature mismatch. Asus tablets generally goes on with updates disabling the root. I had the signature mismatch during my JB update on N8005 but went on installing ignoring the alert. I would not advise you to do the same, but in my case the install went fine. Do a nandroid backup in any case to be able to go back to your initial system.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Flash without signature validation on .

Flash a custom stock rom via CWM .

[Nexus 4 Accessories] minnemike:
Yes they did and they shipped it ultra fast - like 3 days from my email to them to the door. So far the replacement is holding up fine. I think there was an initial batch problem - maybe that explained the cheap $6 price back then.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
False. This is actually one of the best accessories IMO with GREAT customer service. Free replacements, at no cost to you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Agreed. And you receive the free replacement within two to three days.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Enhanced:
False because your saying the defect is not true? Now that's false.

How can you say "IMO" it's the best accessory but state it is definitely "false" that someone thinking the bumper falling apart, in their opinion, shouldn't make it a bad accessory?

And how could an accessory be "the best" if it's defective so often? You can airmail me all the replacements you want, but I'm sure something that is "best" doesn't break to begin with. That's like saying Ford Pintos were the best cars and even if they were to blow up, Ford providing you with a new one and with GREAT customer service each time means that they are one of the best cars!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
Horrible analogy lol. Bumper replacement probably costs them a couple bucks... As compared to a car.

But I see what you mean.

I agree though that it shouldn't be part of the worst accessories. It's a solid case. Yeah they had mishaps on the first or second batch, but seems like they've fixed that now.

The Poetic Bumper Case does not work with the charging orb, so imho it is a bad bumper
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Enhanced:
I wasn't really concerned with the cost of replacement as much as a defective product, albeit replaced very promptly and effortlessly, should not quality it is as one of "the best". Products that are defective are inherently not great products and certainly should not be "the best".

I agree that it's a solid case, as I use one myself without any issues, but calling someone's opinion "false" even when the product is defective is a little backwards. If Poetic's issues have been fixed, and I'm not sure it has if you take a peak at the main thread for it, I'd say it's a very good product as well.

Thank you, but perhaps a specific post...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hammmy:
I'm sticking to my guns. Read the Amazon reviews. The only 3+-star reviews are by folks who just bought the case. As you read, you'll see that new buyers end up editing their review to reflect the defect. Poetic hasn't redesigned anything--they simply added color options. You'll see plenty of reviews showing that the second and third alleged redesigns fail when given to the same customers.

The supply chain logistics don't work that quickly. They will want to sell off all of the initial product first before changing the process. The only way to fix the problem is to make the bumper from a single material instead of gluing segments together. As you can see, all of the cases are still the same design. You guys are falling for marketing speak--of course they're going to tell you it's been redesigned and ship you the same case again. It buys them another month to sell product before you give up and leave a negative review.

The Poetic Bumper Case does and will fail.

I am on my third poetic bumper case, the two previous ones have separated from the hard plastic near the top right and bottom by the charging port. The third one seems to be holding up ok, though I'm using the ringke slim right now.

When I contacted poetic, they have said that the replacement they were sending was a revised version (both times.) The second case did last longer than the first, so it seems like something changed.

Excellent customer service however, and the case does its job until it comes apart. I would not consider it a bad case, just cheap. It is still worth buying in my opinion. I'm waiting on my ringke fusion to get here because I like the clear back protection.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Idk about you guys, but I actually like the S line case you get from ebay for like 5$. Mines not stiff, I mean it was at first but once you let everything mold into place it gets comfortable.

It covers the back and the rim of the phone, and it's made of TPU which means Whatttt?

Odds are if I dropped this phone with this case, compared to a bumper "case" the TPU material front and back will hold up more.

Idk, I feel like cases are more opinion based to your own liking. Example... Some people love Otterbox cases. Me? Heck no, I don't want my phone to feel like a brick.

This thread lives on opinion and impressions on how to user uses his phone. Some accessories that may be the worst to you, may actually be the best for some.

Just my put into this lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CLTatenza:
You're an idiot! Not everyone who reports a problem is a troll.

The poetic bumper doesn't work because the rubber bumper in the back side is too thick, and the back of the phone doesn't come into contact with the rubber on the orb.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Cubeology:
I would be inclined to consider this a fault with the orb rather than the case. I use the Zens charger and it works with a reasonably thick TPU Cruiserlite case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CLTatenza:
It's not that it doesn't charge, but it won't stay on the charger.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ctscloud:
Is that the fault of the orb or the case? There's no standard for these things.. And if that's the issue, there are some easy ways to fix that :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Cubeology:
While this isn't specifically for the N4, recently I returned the absolutely worst accessory I have ever bought, the Beacon Remote by Griffin Tech (Universal remote control). The device itself worked ok but the required Dijit Android app was so bad as to render the entire device useless. I could go on and on but it would be merely ranting which I already have done in a Amazon review. I think the concept itself is flawed now in retrospect, using a phone for a remote control is just not very convenient, especially when you have to unlock your phone and connect via bluetooth. It would be better to use wi-fi. Even if they fixed all their many issues your money is better spent on a Logitech Harmony 650 or better and forget using your phone as a remote.

You can get the poetic bumper to work with the orb you just have to offset it to either the left or the right so the orb can actually contact the glass.

in fact i can place it right in the center in portrait or landscape with no issues. perfect charging.

i have even HELD the N4 slightly ABOVE almost hovering from the ORB with out actually touching the orb and it still charges because of the close proximity.
